I'm in that smart part of YouTube again.

Keep up the fight. Truth is more important than a comforting illusion.

@saxmanchiro absolutely, he/she posts the same spam on many of NCSE uploads and associated, denies that climatic change is occurring as well, not to get into a tangent about that but it is the rate of CC that is unprecedented, a troll all the way.

@disquisition73 excuse my language but jesus, get a life and stop trolling NCSE with your spam, some people want actual debate discourse on youtube not circular garbage.

[luccaskunk]

@disquisition73 Repeating false statements based on your ignorance of the subject does not constitute a valid argument. As for me not liking semantics... You're an idiot if you think going "oh well, it's not true because I'm defining it this way and I refuse to accept anyone else's definition because if I do, I have to admit being wrong," in anyway resembles honesty, intelligence, or a valid argument.

Go ahead, continue being belligerent. Give me more reasons to dislike you.

@disquisition73 Incorrect. Evolution is a proven fact. It works without spontaneous generation. In fact, evolution insists that there must not be spontaneous generation. If you're confused by this fact, take it up with a biology professor, not with YouTube. Now skidaddle. I expect a 4 page report on exactly why one shouldn't use semantics as an argument against science. I want the report on my desk by this time tomorrow, or I'm flunking you.

[saxmanchiro]

@disquisition73 Ok, you have to be a fucking troll. There is no way you could be this stupid.

[saxmanchiro]

@disquisition73 "There is no evidence for man made global warming"

Wow, you need to do some reading of the literature. I would start with the AMS statement on AGW from Feb07(it hasn't changed because there is no contrary evidence) and then go and check EACH fucking piece of literature that is used to support that statement and then come back and change your stupid statement. It should take you about 6-8 months of time to read it all, but then you claim there isn't any. Sad

@luccaskunk This disquistion73 person put his IQ in his YT name. He is ignorant or stupid. Stupid is when you have been told something that is true and you continue to deny it, ignorant is when you have an excuse because you have never heard that truth. In this day and age of knowledge and ease of learning that knowledge, he is stupid. Stance is simple, fingers in ears and saying 'la la la la la '.

[luccaskunk]

@disquisition73 Blah blah blah, semantics, blah blah blah.

It's no wonder you lack a proper education. All you're doing is picking definitions out of a colloquial dictionary, using it to prejudge the topic without knowing what it is, then going "oh, so that's what this is about. ok, la la la, I'm not listening" instead of actually listening to what's being taught.

If you're intent on sticking your fingers in your ears, it is a waste of my time to address your points.

[luccaskunk]

@disquisition73 And for the record, abiogenesis in the modern sense is the study of the origination of life 3 point some billion years ago. Of course I don't expect you to do something like open up a biological reference book instead of a damned colloquial dictionary. But hey, if you want to stick your fingers in your ears and remain ignorant while pretending that arguing semantics with me is going to get me to respect you, that's your problem, not mine.
