Douglas Chalmers,
re the links- are those clips from an Arab garage sale ?

"There is no such thing as "Human rights", it's an anachronistic Western philosophical construct, which defies both scientific quantification and simple logic"

And there resides the vomitous garbage of the relativists and post-modernists. This is both a denial of individuality and a carte blanche for any despot to enslave people; because human rights are not universal, or do not even exist.

You want quantification try this:

"Four score and seven years ago, our fathers brought forth upon this continent a new nation: conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."

And this:

At the risk of getting banned I would have to say that is the most idiotic thing I have read here; and the competition is fierce.

"Pompous oaf!"

Do better frenchie

cohenite,

I have to agree that "pompous oaf" doesn't even scrape the surface....let's face it, such arrogance displayed by an amateur on the subject of AGW is really something to behold. As a scientist you make a great lawyer.

I'm well aware of nature's mercilessness and ferocity. I think you willfully misconstrued my comment which goes to heart of the inherent aptitude of an intelligent and ideological species to employ those gifts to serve its baser instincts.

almost perfect proportion to our penchant to engage in savagery toward our fellow man.
Poirot,
Yes and you'd be extremely surprised as to what hideous behaviour you would be capable of when the conditions are right. Many dreadful things are done in the heat of the moment & most people are capable of self-control but some aren't. Much of the less self-controlled are actually exploiting the incompetence of modern Law.
I witnessed a chap being slapped about in a country where Law still means Law for stealing a mobile phone & got 3 months jail. In Queensland the mongrel who broke into my place & robbed me to the tune of 33 Grand its still walking around & has committed several more break-ins since.
Yes stoning is inhumane but it is no more inhumane then letting crims roam free with impunity. Or females of questionable morale getting away with inciting violence between men.
