 Posted: Wed Feb 14, 2007 5:30 pm Post subject: Three quick question to all of you global warming nay-sayers |
 |
|
I'm just curious, so please do not take this the wrong way, but:
What university did you go to?
What was your major?
What was your average upon graduation?
I ask because I'm curious if there are any commanilities in the backgrounds of those who keep posting on this board that global warming/climate change/kyoto are erroneous in some way.
I figure maybe all of you are either chemistry, physics or geology/geography majors... |

Probably because no one gives a *beep* about your questions. If you think people are going to give you personal info. on a public message board, then you're even dumber than most man-made climate change conspiracy theory nutjobs. |

Brilliant answer. Pure Brilliance.
I think my favourite part of this board are the idiots who respond with tripe and trash like that.
All it takes is a quick response, and they don't even have to put all the info:
I took english, sociology etc would be enough to prove my point, but I think the silence and posts like yours may be far more effective displays of my point. |

Ah, but the real brilliance is in the questions themselves. My favorite part of the board is when the loopy lefties, who ask questions of others that they don't answer for themselves, think they are intellectually superior because they believe the lies fed to them.
Nice try, though. Eloquence at its best. |

Its called a good faith gesture. You want people to step out on a limb a little bit for you, you can do the same for them. Good faith...something lefties know nothing about. |

And to all the followers of the global warming idea on this site, they all studied chem? Haha. As if. If any of you had studied an employable discipline you wouldn't be babysitting lower-middle class Korean kids. |

| By the by, my undergrad was in economics/sociology (double) and my graduate degree is economics (MSc). Undergrad GPA was 8/9 (UofA system) and graduate, so far, is A- (I'm very disappointed in my first semester results). My grad school is top 50 worldwide and I'm on full scholarship. |

Man, why the hell was it so hard for anyone to respond...
I did my BA in 20th century IR (at the time it was the or just after the 20th century), finished first in my program, second in my graduating class. Then did my MA in US foreign policy in Afghanistan during the reagan admin at a one of the top 50 unis in the world. Did rather well, but still could have done better.
Science background exists as well, including being the main comments writer for the PM of Canada on science and technology--- not that he ever delivered anything I wrote for him properly or as written. Also was slated to become the new science/R&D political analyst at the time I resigned my position (under a different PM). |
