What is it with making up positions then assigning them to people as if they are supposed to then defend them?

You want to know my position about something? Then ask. Don't just presume to tell me what it is.

In this case, my REAL position on this one is this:

Proven bumbling idiots in control of HIGHLY radioactive, dangerous, and VERY unstable materials is VERY bad thing and I care fuckall about Sid's view of the person or persons that are bringing it to the world's attention or for his lame attempts to silence people through constant personal character assassination. Any other questions?

The article is conspiracist nonsense... SidDithers Oct 2013 #36

I am surprised that a "politically liberal" person like yourself doesnt recognize that rhett o rick Oct 2013 #38

There can be "Differences of opinions". Not differences of facts. jeff47 Oct 2013 #46

So you say there are facts in the article that are wrong. And not just your opinion but rhett o rick Oct 2013 #49

Do a little math. jeff47 Oct 2013 #52

I think that's called the "new math". Do you have any respected source for this rhett o rick Oct 2013 #56

This is pure bullshit designed to freak out people who can't do math. jeff47 Oct 2013 #44

Your speculation is very interesting. Do you have any articles backing up your theory? rhett o rick Oct 2013 #55

Why do I need an article? You can do the math yourself. jeff47 Oct 2013 #61

So trash the thread and let the rest of us discuss it. Why is it so important for YOU to lock the rhett o rick Oct 2013 #67

Because posting made up shit on here when some believe it is wrong! BS is BS. Woo Woo science! nt Logical Oct 2013 #76

I agree. If there is made up shit, it should be exposed. But dont you agree rhett o rick Oct 2013 #77

The drama is over the top. Like the "deadly radioactive tuna" shit a few days ago. n-t Logical Oct 2013 #82

Might wanna go back to chemistry class. jeff47 Oct 2013 #60

Not a math major, eh? Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #64

Not an "anything" major... chervilant Oct 2013 #70

The silence is certainly deafening. Gravitycollapse Oct 2013 #95

So you stay with metric up until you decide not to, jeff47 Oct 2013 #98

So you claim that there are no facts in the article "Total and complete BS"? What do you base that rhett o rick Oct 2013 #78

Is is "The world's most dangerous moment is upon us" that is BS. And you know it! n-t Logical Oct 2013 #80
