Quoted from Box A Rox


According to Bucky, there is no islamic hatred... it's all religions holding hands!
Of course we know that isn't true.  

Islamophobia:
~referring to prejudice or discrimination against Islam or Muslims."
Nope doesn't exist in Bucky's world.

Nope doesn't exist in Bucky's world... (but it does in the Dictionary)


But...But...But...Phobia has nothing to do with discrimination or prejudice.  

Definition of Phobia:
a persistent, irrational fear of a specific object, activity, or situation that leads to a compelling desire to avoid it.

Prejudice and discrimination are rationalized opinions.  No matter how offensive the opinion, it is not formed in an irrational manner.  

So islamaphobia's real definition should be an irrational fear of Islam.  Not prejudice and discrimination. Unless you want to change the word phobia to mean prejudice and discrimination.

You may be right Cissy... be sure to contact the dictionary people and straighten them out.

Actually, the dictionary people just straightened you out. It provides the proper definition and not the made up one that you think is right.

But then again...Maybe you're on to something Boxy.

Maybe it's not me but you. Maybe you have Climate Denierphobia

We all know you are a Christianphobe , by your definition anyway.

How about you and Hoplophobia?

So like I quoted (and modified)....

Climate Denier is a word created by fascists, and used by cowards, to manipulate morons

phobia is a 'medical diagnosis'

hate crimes and terrorism/ist are government labels which are prejudiced.....

when the government starts using 'medical diaganosis' as prejudiced judgements we're screwed. But I'm sure most folks will not ever
know the difference and the government will allow us to enter that drag net.....

Just when you think this couldn't get anymore ridiculous and asinine.....

Forget 100 years fom now....We only have 500 days!!!!....And a brand new invented term....Climate Chaos!!!!!!

BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!

Quoted Text
French Foreign Minister: '500 Days to Avoid Climate Chaos'


Secretary of State John Kerry welcomed French foreign minister Laurent Fabius to the State Department in Washington on  Tuesday to discuss a range of issues, from Iran to Syria to climate change. Or, in the words of the foreign minister, "climate chaos." Kerry and Fabius made a joint appearance before their meeting, and the foreign minister warned that only 500 days remained to avoid "climate chaos"[emphasis added]:


Well, I’m very happy to be with John. There is no week without a phone call or a visit between John and myself, and we have on the agenda many items, many issues – Iran, because negotiations are resuming today; the question of Syria, and we shall meet next Thursday in London together; Ukraine as well; and very important issues, issue of climate change, climate chaos. And we have – as I said, we have 500 days to avoid climate chaos. And I know that President Obama and John Kerry himself are committed on this subject and I’m sure that with them, with a lot of other friends, we shall be able to reach success on this very important matter.

It is unclear what the foreign minister had in mind with the 500 days.  However, France is scheduled to host the "21st Conference of the Parties on Climate Change" in December 2015, about 565 days from now.


OMFG how funny is that!

I think that even someone as ill informed as Bucky can appreciate that the time to address
Climate Change is not when NYC has an underwater subway or when  Miami Beach condos are
a SCUBA Divers attraction... By then it will be to late to impact the outcome of Climate Change.

If you want to change the impact of Climate Change the time is now...
Either by limiting the impact humans (or nature) has on the Climate, or by moving people out of
what will be underwater property and relocating them to higher ground.
NOTE:
The highest elevation in Florida is 345 feet... It's AVERAGE elevation is 100 feet
The AVERAGE elevation of 10 states is under 350 feet.

~ To appreciate that elevation consider that at Hudson Falls NY, the Hudson river is at 200'.
~  The mean water elevation at Albany is 2 feet above sea level, and the average range in tide is about 4 feet.
~ The elevation of the Mohawk river today at Freemans Bridge Schdy is 210'

Did all of that happen in a day or something? Because that's what makes you look ridiculous.

Is it from one of Discovery Channel's 'Doom and Gloom' programs?

This weekend I'm going to watch a simulation of what would happen if Godzilla ran rampant in New York City.

Come back from fantasy land, Boxy.

Climate change has been happening since the world began.  It has its UPSIDE - for example, we who live in upstate NY are not sitting on a mile thick slab of glacial ice today.   It has its DOWNSIDE, too.   Ultimately, we just have to adapt and learn to live with it.

BTW -- Obama and all those politicians from New Jersey and New York who are so worried about climate change --- were apparently NOT worried enough and proposed to spend $60 Billion of taxpayer money to rebuild areas that within the next 2 centuries or less will be part of the ocean.   They should have used that money to build on higher ground INLAND and move the population away from the rising seas.

And how about your buddy dems locally, in cahoots with your buddy Obama, all favoring government owned business, mis-usuing the taxpayers money on the rich.  


Optimists close their eyes and pretend problems are non existent.  
Better to have open eyes, see the truths, acknowledge the negatives, and
speak up for the people rather than the politicos and their rich cronies.
