POPSWH Science Czar John Holdren: Ice Age Will Kill 1 Billion
Holdren and Ehrlich had previously articulated the theory in their 1973 textbook "Human Ecology: Problems and Solutions" in which they argued on page 198 that the main effect of carbon-dioxide-induced global warming "might be to speed up circulation patterns and to bring arctic cold farther south and Antarctic cold farther north." On page 377, the authors returned to their constant theme: The only way to control a foreseen increasing global food crisis was to control population. Noting that a 1967 presidential science advisory commission had concluded that the solution to the "world food problem" likely after 1985 "demands that programs of population control be initiated now." (Emphasis in original text.) Commenting on the conclusions of the 1967 presidential advisory report, the authors wrote, "We emphatically agreed then, and the situation is even more urgent today." A controversial report released earlier this month by the Congressional Budget Office, or CBO,

POPSIs bicycling safer than driving? On this forum, a participant misuses statistics to show that bicycling is safer than driving. These statistics do not prove anything about the inherent safety of either mode of transportation. (the first comment is a sarcastic response by an anti-bicyclist commenting on a Philadelphia bicyclist who got critically injured by a car on a busy intersection).

POPSI'm sorry to Debbyski I made this comment to debbyski "Sick. Nothing gets under my skin (black skin) more than a bunch of white people using the cry of racist against those who abhor this administration. Am I a racist? I prefer to say you are a racist because you are of a group who seem to discharge the word so casually. Where is your evidence that people who disagree with Obama are racist? I know what a black racist believes and from my experience with black racists the charge that Obama is a racist holds much more water." I publicly apologize to debbyski for any misunderstanding. I was just giving my opinion and perspective. If you want to keep me from commenting on your clips, that is ok. Just know I did not mean anything personal with my comment.

POPSThe Blackening of the president
Obama's white support trended slowly downward throughout the summer in the weekly Gallup poll, but took another relatively large (4 point) drop between July 19 and July 26, a fiery week that saw the arrest of Skip Gates, Obama's comment that Cambridge police acted "stupidly" in that incident, followed by Obama's "recalibration" of those words. I said at the time that Obama's commenting on the Gates mess was a mistake, even if it was a completely understandable one. Replying reflexively, as a victim of racial profiling, Obama was sincere -- but in that moment, there's no denying, he got blacker to a segment of the white population. That same crazy week also featured the rise of Birtherism as represented by a screaming woman interrupting moderate GOP Rep. Mike Castle's town hall claiming Obama wasn't born in the U.S. It was a harbinger: August brought a wave of frenzied anti-Obama organizing at raucous meetings -- what a Republican fundraising group proudly labeled "town hells" -- whe

POPSWhy The Left is Horrified at Joe Wilson's Liar Statement Joe Wilson only said what 75% of the American people were thinking. And since the Democrats won't even meet with Republicans to discuss health care reform; since they reject tort reform; since they really do allow illegal immigrants to get free health care; since they lie repeatedly about improving care; since simple mathematics refutes the concept of adding tens of millions to the health care system while 'improving care', 'covering preexisting conditions' and 'not adding to the deficit'... well, there are about 200 million Americans who think that Obama is lying. And the Democrats will be committing political suicide in 2010 if they try to ram this tyrannical, socialist fraud down the American people's throats.

POPSGet a Life chestnut: GEE TN, USUALLY YOU AND YOU'RE PARTNER IN CRIME ARE TOO BUSY CALLING ME EVERY NAME IN THE BOOK TO BE NICE. WHY THE SUDDEN CHANGE??? Save it. I already know the answer. Concern about my health huh? At least that's what you told eric . Oh poor chestnut, she's spending too much time on CM and her eyes are bothering her....blah, blah, blah. THIS PITIFUL ATTEMPT TO GET ME OFF OF HERE ISN'T GOING TO WORK. YOU DISGUST ME. Since I now, unsurprisingly, have been blocked from commenting, (*LOL*) I'll make my comment here. I have NO influence on the "commie" algorithms on this site whatsoever. (Duuuh!) I actually have a life outside of Clipmarks, (unlike some) and the paranoid and delusional claim, that I somehow have corresponded with the clipguys regarding Nutter's health, is beyond pitiful. FYI, Nutter, there has been no "change". I still couldn't care less about you, or your mental health... or rather, the apparent lack thereof . Get a life.

POPSObama Health Care Endorses Cannibalism
who energetically supported a plea from a 1972 Andes airplane crash survivor where 16 soccer team mates lived after 72 days of dining off the corpses of their companions until help arrived. Obama embraced survivor Jose Louis "Coohe" Inciarte in his efforts to promote organ donation as a key stone of his revolving health care plan. "No longer will you have to lament the humane death of your grandma," the President said, " for her heart will live on!" A Fox news reporter was shouted down when he attempted to link this comment with tribal Zulu warriors practice of eating the raw heart of vanquished enemies killed in battles. Outside the front yard was filled with protesters with hastily made signs proclaiming "Don't Eat My Grandma"....and other signs commenting " Eat Shit, But Not My Sister!" Rahm Emanuel was said to have jumped all over the opportunity to promote the new policy, in part encouraged by the recent arrest of New Jersey Rabbis accused of trading in fresh kidney

POPSArguing online: PZ Myers' 3-comment rule More: I rather like PZ’s vision for how the conversation would progress in this envisaged new order: Stranger: 1I think all women are chattel. Old hand: Pardon me, friend, but are you using humor, irony, sarcasm, or satire? Are you perhaps about to expand on a deeper philosophical point? Stranger: 2No, I just think women are meant to serve my needs. Old hand : This sounds like a most unfortunate and disagreeable belief. Why should you hold such a demeaning attitude? Stranger: 3Because the Bible, which is the literal word of God, tells me so. Old hand: See? Isn’t that much better? You can still have your fun in the general melee, but let’s just slow the onset down a little, hold fire for a few minutes, and see if we can get a few words through the macho murk first.

POPSRetweeting comments, maybe also useful for Amplify? I love Clipmarks and Amplify, and i love to read and post comments on the clips. Imo, the comments are as valuable as the clip itself. Sometimes I even like the comments more than the content of the clip, and I wish to draw more attention too them, then retwitting or re-sharing the clip. So, I ask the Amplify team: is this possible?
