A flight that almost cost me my marriage 9:16pm on 06 Dec 2009 It is generally accepted that her in the 21st century we have a few more factories, cars, trains and aircraft than were around in the 16th century. It is also generally accepted in the scientific community that temperatures in the 16th century were around three degrees higher than they are now. Yet this same community continues to push the idea that modern means of transport and manufacturing are the cause of "global warming".

The fact is that the climate has been changing cyclically ever since the Flood. It gets warm, it gets cold, it gets warm again. Big deal. It is NOT man-made.

We used to hear scare stories about the hole in the ozone layer. What they didn't tell you is that the "hole" was found by accident, we don't know how long it's been there, we don't know how big it should be, we don't know IF it should be there. By the way, it's been shrinking for the last few years.

The only truth behind the global warning myth is that governments are using it as an excuse to wring more taxes out us.
118800 and a web revolution 1:46pm on 14 Jul 2009 What is the point of this ridiculous "service"? It's painfully obvious that no-one actually wants it, otherwise why the rush to have our details removed? ANY form of cold-calling should be outlawed, whether it's done directly, like most cowboys do, or through proxy services like 118800. If your product is that good, you shouldn't need to stoop to such underhand, disreputable tactics to acquire business.
Newsbeat and Susan Boyle 11:21am on 23 Apr 2009 I wholeheartedly second lordBeddGelert's comments, and all the others agreeing with him.

Mr McKenzie, be a MAN for once in your life.

Issue a public apology for your puerile behaviour.

(and your refusal to allow this post to remain on the board will merely confirm that you know you are in the wrong)
Welcome to some new initials - DRM, HDCP, DTCP and AACS! 2:18pm on 22 Apr 2009 never mind, I've now found it stands for Digital On-Screen Graphics. Still waiting for that apology though.....

This comment was removed because the moderators found it broke the House Rules.

ABSOLUTE RUBBISH.

At the very top of this page it says "This time, no DOGs, just the equally snappy subject of DRM,"

Here's what I said:

"here's one that will make most of you laugh. What does DOG stand for, please? I've missed something here, I haven't a clue what you're on about!"

So, once again, would someone please explain what DOG means?
Should we be afraid of not being afraid? 5:16pm on 18 Feb 2009 A few years ago, the "scientists" were panicking about a hole in the ozone layer. It was found, over the Poles, by accident. The fact is, NO-ONE knows how long it had been there or even if it should be there. Wonder why it hasn't been mentioned recently? Because it's shrinking!

Now, we are all told that greenhouse gases and carbon emissions are damaging the ozone layer. Hmm. It's way above the height that our supposedly damaging aircraft exhausts are. Forgive me if I'm wrong but where these aircraft fly is a little bit on the chilly side, isn't it? Hot air rises? Emissions are heavier than air? How do these get up to the ozone layer?

Take CFCs, the bane of modern refridgeration. We can't let them escape, they'll damage the ozone layer. How? The molecules are about 20 times heavier than air. Is someone bottling these, and carbon emissions, taking them aloft and releasing them directly into the ozone layer? Thought not.

We know the Middle Ages were around three degrees warmer than it is at present, there were no cars, no industrial chimneys, probably just as many cows emitting methane.

Even if these pollutants did rise up some distance, they'd rapidly lose heat even before reaching the troposphere and they'd sink before ever reaching the stratosphere.

Climate change - yes. Global warming - NO. It's a hoax and the only true thing about it is that governments will tax us for it.
What did you think of the show? (04/02/09) 7:11pm on 04 Feb 2009 Didn't necessarily agree with everything Alistair McGowan said but thoroughly enjoyed his style of presentation. Can we have him as a regular fixture, please?

Too kind to burn witches 12:16pm on 18 Sep 2008 "What concerns me about Ms Palin is her apparant denial of science if it does not accord with her prejudices or religious beliefs. "

Point of order here. Creationists do not deny science at all. They refute the misrepresentation of the facts made by evolutionists. Go study the fossil evidence - in what way does that support the THEORY of evolution.

And in any case, what does her belief have to do with Mrs Palin's ability to do her job?
