We hit 80 yesterday and today we have 60mph winds.

I know you don't like to, but the 1 hr video is well worth watching.

It's the first installment of a 9 hour series on showtime.

And it's informative and well produced. It hangs human faces onto global warming, from Texas to Indonesia, so far..

That's an excellent and highly recommended video that you linked to btw. Everyone should watch it.

That's but part 1 of a nine hour series.

Meanwhile the Brits are fucking up the tundra.

Gosh, they're so-oo-oo responsible.

Knee jerk petty nationalism again snooz in a mistaken belief that I should be cowed by it ?!!! BP is no more British these days than it is Canadian or Australian !! These facts of 'Multi-National Globalisation' seem to have left you behind ! Sadly - the same is not the case for The 99% in USUK and elsewhere :

Wanna see nationalism promoted? Read Clive Cussler.

Rah rah sis boom bah!!!

Hum-bug

Hey but he likes collecting classic cars - so - ummmm - Never Mind - means nothing other than that he is a motor-head - probably in love with petroleum. Oooooops - EDIT - a fossil fuel motor head.

I'm somewhat of a motor-head myself - just not real fond of petroleum.

Consider : ''The US is an oligarchy ruled by powerful rich private interest groups and that the US government has only a superficial resemblance to a democracy.'' from :

Because of course the UK is immune to global warming.

Nope !!! But you're ''immune'' to rhyme and reason if not rhythm !! Cultivate some grace if possible !

You have no grace. You're switch and bait routine is ubiquitous.

Since we're actually on the subject of global warming, and you have ignored EVERY post I've made on it's incursions in the UK, I'll accept your belief in American exceptionalism, one last time.

''The trolls still really, really like you. they tell me about it all the time.

You should be ashamed, but you're not and that's a further shame.

Anyway, here's some stuff for you to post on that might prove you're not wholly consumed by american exceptionalism.

Be careful though, the trolls might turn on you.

That PM [which I have told you before is not wanted or appreciated and that I'd copy to the forum] would be yet another example of your abrasive, bumptious, cantankerous & dorkish .. gracelessness snooz !!!

Having a foot-stampy temper tantrum that I don't in the main - respond on your threads is actually most unbecoming !! I mean .. look at this very thread for evidence of why I may possibly not wish to do that !

However, here are the salient links (imo) from the interesting New York Times link that you provided :

''A new scientific report * on global warming released this week, the National Climate Assessment, named Miami as one of the cities most vulnerable to severe damage as a result of rising sea levels. Alton Road, a commercial thoroughfare in the heart of stylish South Beach, is getting early ripples of sea level rise caused by global warming — even as Florida’s politicians, including two possible contenders for the presidency in 2016, are starkly at odds over what to do about it and whether the problem is even real.''

I'm still staying my hand re. expanding on your ''baiting and switching'' :

but trust me snooz, I could be successfully provoked into an extended treatise on the matter here on your thread as opposed to ^there^ on frf's.

shadz you and those like you are the reason no one hears about OWS anymore, except here on the forum....that's a real damn shame, we could have changed the world if we would just keep to a simpler message the rich are too damn rich; the GOP makes them richer; throw the GOP from power and fix this thing, simple works, your shit destories

[-] 1 points by shadz66 (19985) 9 years ago

It's self-defeating and revelatory to ban comments we don't like when we wake hungover and so again :

Sweet ! The DNC Defence Team, lol !! I'm not 'the enemy' factsy ... and consider carefully - you won't fight the Tea Party, with yet more ''moderation'' AND - the fkn rich got even richer on Blow-Job Bill and Obummer's administrations' watch btFKNw !!! Have there been any post-08 Wall Street Prosecutions ?

Our exchanges here : https://occupywallst.org/forum/have-you-been-to-bunkerville/ speak volumes too.

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 9 years ago

here take look down my posts about wealth inequality and the oncoming Monarchy and tell me where you see this "moderation" you speak of? It is you who focus on attacking the Ds with all your posts where have you ever discussed the core issue of wealth inequality?

http://occupywallst.org/forum/search/?q=user%3Afactsrfun

seriously you want to throw your shit against mine and see who's more hard core on wealth?

[-] 0 points by shadz66 (19985) 9 years ago

OK ! We can do 'tit for tat' !! I'll do ''tat'' - you can be the other one !!!

I wasn't actually throwing my ''shit against'' yours but simply defending myself against your misplaced & misguided accusations but we can let readers (who outnumber us posters) decide for themselves right ?

You at least can make forum-posts still whereas my last post re. Bill Moyers and Paul Krugman talking about Thomas Piketty's new book (''Capital In The 21st Century'') - was capriciously banned and indeed my first reply to you above was removed too. Does that sound reasonable to you ? Is that fair ? Sheesh.

multum in parvo ...

[-] 2 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 9 years ago

running your mouth so much you forgot the question I see, which of my posts do you think is "moderate"?

https://occupywallst.org/forum/search/?q=user%3Afactsrfun

[-] 0 points by factsrfun (8310) from Phoenix, AZ 9 years ago

Ok let's try this again here's a link to my posts

https://occupywallst.org/forum/search/?q=user%3Afactsrfun

and here is one to yours

https://occupywallst.org/forum/search/?q=user%3Ashadz66

now just where do you see me being moderate? which post? or should i start where you slam the dems which is pretty much what you do isn't it?

of course you write so little of your work who knows what you think....

[-] 3 points by shadz66 (19985) 9 years ago

So just how much attention do you really want factsy ?!!! You shill for Dems on an OWS Forum !! You eulogise about that Neoliberal, Neocon, 1%er and Wall $treet Darling .... Hitlary Clinton ... ergo .. not only are you a ''moderate'' but I'll call you a 'conservative' too - if you like !

If you want to read some 'writing' - then read this reply to you earlier after yet another 'attention seeking validation squeal' from you recently on your old thread :

Yawwwn ! You deserve NO explanations whatsoever, lol !! Get over yourself and get yourself out of 'The Hitlary Fan Club / DNC Defence Team', for the good of both your country and your own mental health !!!

Seldom - you arse, was a truer or more insightful word said by you on this forum than the first line here :

It is extremely sad that you regard the choice of 2 Corporate Controlled Parties - ''a democratic nation'' !!

ergo, nosce te ipsum ...

[-] 1 points by shadz66 (19985) 9 years ago

Says the spinny bow-tied, big polka dot shirted dork, proudly wearing his clown-shooz, while talking out of his arse ... who doesn't see the glaring similarities in the Two-Faction ; One War and Austerity Party deMOCKERYcy that he continually confuses with ''a democratic nation'' !

You're the ''fucking idiot'' who can't see the revealing irony of having voted Republican but now engaging in SHillary for that 1%er Hitlary ... on a pro-99% OWS forum, to boot ffs !!

Just WTF do you think OWS is really all about - more of the fkn same ?!!!

This is the kind of language that u understand & here, get a clue will ya ?

You're a bore, a boor and a boar !!! However, I have a little time to waste / use today, on this last day of the English football season !! Btw ''lyin snake'' is most ungentlemanly I think, lol !

Though more of a reactionary, conservative & nationalist - you also seem to fancy yourself as inquisitor in chief here on this forum, in your sad quest to deny and leave behind your Republican voting past and your refusal to see the near equivalence of both your current electoral options ... as you now try to push the crazy 'Hitlary Clinton square peg' into the 'OWS round hole' !!

Both your parties may not be exactly ''the same'', as few things in life (even twins) are BUT you seem intentionally blind to their huge similarities - not to mention the issue of who pays them, has co-opted them and seeks to influence and control them !!!

Consider - all the fingers of your hand are different - yet essentially more similar than they are different. Further, they are all attached to the same hand and arm and are mobilised by the same muscles, the same nerves and the same mind.

Now re. your check-list :

a) Brit .. check ! Interested in ''American Politics'' .. check !!

b) I have exhaustively explained the Buchanan matter here :

as you would know - IF you were honest but you continue to try to use this to justify your parDisan paranoia about libertarians and conservatives - despite the fact that both these groups are currently represented in The US 99%. I can use PB's Anti-War and Empire and even pro-99% words, without subscribing to the entire gamut of his views - past or present. Your inability to compute this is silly.

You can continue to get your knickers all in a twist on this matter if you wish. Your life. Your choice.

c) Never say never and tho' the majority of my recent forum-posts (in the last 50 especially) have indeed been 99% relevant articles by writers I like and respect & copied here to try to inform and inspire, I don't set undue store by just my own opinion on matters but I have also composed my own forum-posts, eg. :

Furthermore, my very latest forum-post was capriciously and vindictively banned for no reason, imo :

d) I respect Chomsky on many matters but ''laud'' is your word here because you, yourself do that I suspect. Therefore, I'll simply restrict myself to the following :

e) As above & see : http://www.thepeopleshistory.net/2013/06/an-analysis-of-one-party-state-at-top.html

One really has to wonder just how you feel advocating voting for that 1%er, Hitlary (who will be your next POTUS btw) is compatible with core OWS views, objectives and analyses. From the forum front page :

  • ''Occupy Wall Street is a leaderless resistance movement with people of many colors, genders and political persuasions. The one thing we all have in common is that We Are The 99% that will no longer tolerate the greed and corruption of the 1%. We are using the revolutionary Arab Spring tactic to achieve our ends and encourage the use of nonviolence to maximize the safety of all participants. The only solution is ... WorldRevolution.''

The U$A impacts us All on this Good Earth - our fragile, beautiful and only home. It is the cutting edge and coal face of 'Neoliberal Austerity for The 99%, Largesse for The 1% Economics' & Neocon Empire.

My country is increasingly resembling yours. The Global 99% now need to inform, inspire, mobilise and organise ourselves and our resistance .. in USUK and worldwide. That is the only reason why I am here.

Also fyi : http://truth-out.org/opinion/item/23423-the-working-class-mini-revolts-of-the-twenty-first-century

Call me an eccentric, idealist, optimist, utopian or even 'naive' but as for ''lyin snake'' - well, fuck you ! ;-)

Thanks for proving me correct once again. They really do like you.

Oh and by the way? We all deserve an explanation.

===========================================================

I really do wonder - how many other posters you harass with Private Messages !!!

Maybe it's the rest of us who actually ''deserve an explanation'' for your conduct !!

And manipulating this forum by selective banning, comment removal etc. stinks !
