1. I think you’ve got the correlation backwards.

2. Do you know what the word “correlation” means? There’s no such thing as getting one “backwards.”

3. Ethan, Wikipedia appears to have a good article on correlation. Among other things, it explains why one cannot get correlations “backwards”.

4. Poor Ethan.

   As for “Is there anything they’ve gotten right?”

   No.

5. As far as I can tell, he just comes here to get educated. But he’s a slow learner.

6. He’s just another one of those left-wing types who scream ‘causation’ when all they have is ‘correlation’.

   “This bad thing happens near this thing that I disapprove of, therefore anything I disapprove of must be banned.”

7. My point was that it’s no coincidence that we’re saying things we don’t like are harming the planet…..we don’t like them *because* they’re harming the planet.

8. So you would be shocked, shocked, to discover that leftist disliked all those things before they decided they hurt the planet?

   I know leftists are historically ignorant, but you still should know that lefty vegetarian marxists were twatting around long before the global warming scare.

9. My point was that it’s no coincidence that we’re saying things we don’t like are harming the planet.

   If that was your point, you obviously didn’t make it very well. Because you don’t understand what words mean. Consider how much else of your education was deficient. Which is why you fantasize that capitalism and freedom “hurt the planet.”

10. Vegetarians are Evil!!

11. I have no problem with capitalism OR freedom. But I do think unregulated capitalism is only good for a small segment of society. Like communism, it sounds good on paper, but when you add in human beings and all their irrational actions and motivations, it falls apart.

12. I have no problem with capitalism OR freedom.

    There would be no way to know that from anything you’ve posted previously to this. Perhaps you’re simply in denial…?

13. Yes, I’ve spoken frequently about the coming glorious Socialist Revolution and my hopes that the government will call all its troops home so that they can be used to round up dissidents. You’re the radical here, not me.

14. Great way to attempt to change the subject, NaEthan.

    Fortunately, we’re not idiots.

15. Nathan? Where did that come from.

16. But I do think unregulated capitalism is only good for a small segment of society.

    The segment that bothers to learn what it needs to know.

    It didn’t used to be all that small.

17. Nathan? Where did that come from.

    From a typo. What’s your point?

18. I didn’t have a point, it was just really weird.

    And yes, McGehee…yes it did. http://www.huppi.com/kangaroo/L-welfarepoverty.htm

19. Ethan, what does “can’t make ends meet” mean? If they really couldn’t then there would have been a huge death rate in the 20s.

20. From that “kangaroo” thing:

    Since the rise of the corporate special interest system in 1975, individual welfare benefits have been shrinking, and poverty has been steadily rising, to over 15 percent today.

    Because of the incessant movement of the goal posts. And the idiocy of defining the poverty level as the bottom 15% of the population. What is defined as poverty today would have been defined as conspicuous consumption just 50 years ago. Try to imagine the apoplexy among the chattering class of that age in trying to make sense of the obesity epidemic we have today.

21. Actually, the current poverty level is considered $20k/yr. I don’t know how anyone would do it on less than $30k these days.

22. I don’t know how anyone would do it on less than $30k these days.

    It depends on where you live. Which is why its ludicrous to have federal one-size-fits-all standards.
