I agree with JohnK about the Emporio Armani great looking watches. I like the Seiko 5s.

Jack, you forgot to include the most important sentence in the Peter's message; his opening statement: I'm interested in getting a baseline on the scientific literacy of those participating in this thread. I unfortunately have to bring up a subject that is controversial, but really should not be, given the supporting evidence. The following paragraph starts off stating the aforementioned subject: The wording is quite clear that there's one subject in question. Or at least that's the way it appears to me. Obviously only Peter knows, and I'm sure he'll side with one of his buddies. Cam, I have no idea what you are talking about. What subject, other than evolution, did I bring up? What egregious sin did I commit?

Can't we just have a friendly argument? On the internet, one must work extra hard not to read anything into the other side's words. We've both of us already proven we have difficulty with that.

What Peter is suggesting is that anyone who disagrees with him is a scientific moron and it is that lack of basic scientific knowledge which provides a sufficient explanation as to why anyone would disagree with his 'settled truths.' This statement just may be the most classic example of projection I've ever seen on a forum anywhere.

I don't think your statement is true, Jack, and I don't think you can back it up.

I think you've been sent here by an alien race to torment us. I don't think you can disprove that.

Good, go back to sleep now. Sorry to have bothered you, Peter.
I think you have come close to achieving your goal of sucking all the life out of this forum and rendering it inert and quiet.
Arouse the faithful only when a stranger comes and asks the magic questions:
My room is 8' x 8'. Should I get a pair of M80s, the VP100 or the VP180 ... Why does my EP500 hum but produce no bass?
And the faithful rush in hoping to be the first to give the correct answers and run up their post count.
15,518 Peter!!
Keep up the good work. Sshhh.

That crutch -- I prefer to view it as a tool, since the term "crutch" has a negative connotation -- is never going to reach all the way to to the ground. It may one day appear to touch the ground, but then a scientist will point out that the crutch's atoms are not actually touching the ground's atoms at all.... Hey, every time I'm called a tool, I feel a negative connotation.

I don't think your statement is true, Jack, and I don't think you can back it up. Well, I certainly could never back it up to your satisfaction. Fortunately, there is no need to. You've proved it to MY satisfaction and that is all that is necessary. After all, it is you who are throwing out all the insults (calling people elitists and implying that anyone who would agree with Peter does so only to raise their post count) simply because they disagree with your point of view. Yes, Peter has risen to your bait, probably much more than he is proud of. Me too. But then, you are a master baiter. You state "I just don't understand why you [Peter] think that just because I posted a topic which challenges beliefs you hold to be true is hostile or looking for a fight or otherwise disagreeable. " I can't answer for Peter, of course, but In your first post you said, "Global warming ... today's Lysenkoism, brought to you by political elites who silence dissenting scientific voices." To me, this implies that anyone who believes global warming is real is, at best, a dupe of political elites, or at worst, one of those political elites interested in silencing those who do not believe it is real. You don't think that is looking for a fight or disagreeable? OY! It is YOU who started this controversial thread with a shot across the bow of any who don't see it your way. It is YOU who appears, to my eyes, to have the goal of sucking all the life out of this forum and rendering it inert and quiet. To accuse others of this is projection. Will that back up my statement to your satisfaction? NAH! It satisfies me. I can only hope it satisfies others.
