It's by design. You can't have intelligent citizens otherwise they start seeing through the bull**** and start questioning the system they live in.

Racism stems from fear.

To be fair, ignorance has it's own part to play in racism. That and lack of exposure on a consistent basis to other cultures in order for people to intermingle and learn about each other. That is one of the reasons I like sports. They give people from all walks of life the ability to come together to unite in a common purpose.

Has anyone studied the term bull**** a book perhaps. Why is bulk**** bad when vegetables love the stuff? Help I hate this century.

Very clever.
hhhmmm I think I will start calling stupid people "turnips" again. It has been a while since I used the term.

A national poll, conducted in March for the Associated Press, found
that 42 per cent of Americans are “not too” or “not at all” confident that all
life on Earth is the product of evolution. Similarly, 51 per cent of people
expressed skepticism that the universe started with a “big bang” 13.8 billion
years ago, and 36 per cent doubted the Earth has been around for 4.5 billion
years.

The American public’s bias against established science doesn’t
stop where the Bible leaves off, however. When it comes to global warming, only 33
per cent expressed a high degree of confidence that it is “man made,” something
the*UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change*has declared is all but
certain.

There's hope for America yet.

All of these represent PHILOSOPHICAL premises.. not scientific ones. And all come with political agendas, most notoriously in recent times in the Fraud of AGW. And all are theories, not laws.. but with aspirations becoming Creation Myths.

Given full political manifestation.. as in Social Darwinism.. they have created some of the great holocausts of history.. as the AGW agenda will if its allowed to take root and fester.

As for the UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change... this is an occult priesthood, steeped in mystical pagan environmentalism.. and has not the slightest interest in science. They have long given up on trying to prove their case.. and now assert it must be accepted on the basis of 'faith'... or fear.

I have worked for a family of evangelical Christians in the past who DO NOT believe in Darwinian in any way. One of them even showed me a brilliant fossil that they had picked up on the Niagara Escarpment and told me that "it must go right back to the flood!"

Thing is, they insist that they and everyone else get an annual flu shot because flu is different every year. I was loathe to point out that the mutation of viruses are observable Darwinist processes seen working in real time. I just didn't try because that heretical idea smacks of science.

I wonder how many similar minded political "leaders" of ours just got fired from forming our government? Some of them, for sure.

yay Turnip! Forget about science providing facts. Your Bible has them all. The world is flat and the universe is just a dome with light bulbs splattered on it randomly.

I didn't mention the Bible one in that. The fraud of AGW is easily assertained through common sense, and the character and tactics of its proponents.

I'd suggest whenever an agenda makes its case by an appeal to fear.. or for our 'children'.. or ignorance of fact and science.. AND proposes a regime of of crippling austerity for the present.. that you are being fooled. And at the heart of this is a philosophical and political agenda that has to do with enrichment of the few at the cost of the many.

The AGW agenda is deeply complicit with Global Free Market Capitalism.. and its aims in producing an financial oligarchy by way of imposing poverty on the world, especially with regard to food and basic manufacturing input, creating a desperate labour force. And nothing could be more effective in that, than rationing the use of carbon.

The many will have been sacrificed to maintain the important few, again. Perhaps this is the way of nature for those precious few of the species are the genetic building materials of accellarated developement in mans final transition away from the constraint of morality and into the new age of pure rational power. Or maybe it's just another con game. It's not at all clear for the common dirt like me.

Common sense is the stuff that told people the world was flat and the universe geocentric. The character and tactics of people have been polluting land and water for centuries and some of you flatearthers think we have not polluted the atmosphere as well? GOOD sense would suggest you are a gullible fool.

Whether humans have an agenda is completely irrelevant as to whether we have polluted the atmosphere or not. Debating whether carbon dioxide is a pollutant or not is reasonable, but we have definitely emitted other compounds that are definitely pollutants into the atmosphere. Arguing the opposite is simply illogical and nonsensical at best.
I do not think we have had a large impact on climates but as I said, thinking we have had no impact at all is just inane.
