Okay, one more time for the cheap seats:

The vast majority of folks who are pointing out global warming are NOT disputing that the Earth has natural changes in it's temperature or atmosphere. What they are pointing out is that the two centuries of exponentially increasing industrial pollutants, urbanization and deforestation have heightened the natural course of things to an uncoming dangerous level. My simple questions and logic are consistently side stepped by the global warming nay sayers, because in order for their CO2 theoretical gymnastics to work they have to omit certain factors. Like it or not, what I pointed out is a matter of fact that is learned in grade and high school science. Trees, forests, greenery and the ocean are major CO2-oxygen exchangers. Screw that up (deforestation, urbanization, pollution) and you have problems like a slight acceleration of the melting of cold regions on the planet, etc.

What you presented DOES not alter those facts.

There is little colour to those simple minds. All is either black or white. Environmental issues are left wing issues, good husbandry is a left wing issue, social responsibility is a left wing issue and all left wing issues are socialist issues and all socialist issues are communist issues and all communists should be shot because they plan to murder all right wing idiots in their beds and bring America down around their ears.

Sad, isn't it?

It's pretty bizarre...as if all the corporations and business folk who fight reforms on behalf of a better environment act as if when the air and water go bad they'll just have theirs shipped in from an alternate universe or something.

There is a rather strange British chat show host and comedian by the name of Paul O'Grady aka Lily Savage. He flew into Miami airport in August, I think, and was detained for two hours because the immigration official that he had a funny accent and could be a communist Cuban terrorist.
He is from Liverpool!
I mention this to further underline the stupidity of some Americans who seem hard wired into McCarthyism and cannot accept that the last communist regime ceased to be about twenty years ago.
I mean look at this bunch. Obama's health plan is 'Socialist'. 'Liberals' is to them a swear word. The bush tourist/terrorist joke is taken as deadly serious so that they are scared shitless by anyone who isnt a clone of them. And of course, the strangest thing of all, and the one thing that Europeans cannot come to terms with..... They are free to walk the streets just as if they are normal people!

Paul O'Grady held at airport over communist fears

Wed Aug 12 10:46AM by TV Editor

Paul O'Grady has revealed that he was held by officials at a US airport because they thought he was a communist.
The TV presenter said he was taken aside for questioning at Miami airport by staff who made the assumption because of his 'funny' accent.
He was then held for two hours while an officer accused him of being an 'illegal alien' from Cuba.
He told listeners of his Radio 2 show: "How could I be accused of being an illegal Cuban alien? Do I look Cuban? Do I sound Cuban?"
He added: "I've been to hell, folks - it's called Miami airport."
The Channel 4 star was later released after the customs officials studied his passport and found no links with Cuba.

wrong......the left wing approach to all issues is to make a lot of noise about problems, never to solve them....if they actually took steps to solve a problem they would lose a campaign issue......as I recall, Clinton took the Kyoto accord home and never presented it to his left wing controlled Congress, because he knew he could never get ratification.....

is there any indication that O'Grady didn't?.......never heard of this before.....

Ahhh. There we have it in a nutshell. You haven't heard of it so you doubt its truth. Do you really think the Miami Airport Immigration Department are going to publicise their utter stupidity? Really?
Yeah, yeah. O'Grady made it all up. He's an American, y'know. Born in Liverpool and speaking with a scouse accent and one of the most popular family entertainers in the UK but really he's a secret American. Ipso facto he lies.
Jeeeezusss H! Is it any wonder?

Here's a simple question.
Its worth 2 marks.

What literary device was being used in that statement?

Use only one side of the paper for your answer and place your name, date and Class number in the space provided.
I'm recommending that you be kept back for one year to redo Sec 1.

Consideration for the environment should be based on real science, not al gore's lies. These lies are embraced by corporatists (right wingers), and america haters (left wingers) alike. The only oversimplified analysis I see is yours. That's because you're a simple person. You don't really get the complexities of modern living.

I can't really see the American media bothering with it as Paul O Grady is not really known in the US.

he's an entertainer....from the looks of things, a humorist......folks like that embellish stories to make them more entertaining.....that doesn't mean you should treat what they say as the equivalent of a news report.....well, maybe the equivalent of an MSNBC news report, but you know what I mean......

But he did prove that he's a bigot.
""How could I be accused of being an illegal Cuban alien? Do I look Cuban? Do I sound Cuban?"

I guess because he's English, he doesn't realize that Cubans come in all shapes and colors.

Do black people in the UK call themselves African British/Brits?

I can tell you that many people are shocked when they see Chinese speaking with a heavy British accent, Arabs, Indians, Pakistanis, Blacks etc.

I wouldn't say this fella looks like what I would imagine Cubans to look like, but I don't know what they see in Miami. Probably a wide variation of people claiming to be Cuban is my guess.

I am so glad he tamped down the drama though and didn't include his crown in his carry-on.

Dang, this is embarrassing --- but not surprising.

really?....if it isn't "surprising" it takes all the punch out of the story, doesn't it?.....

Does anyone have a link to this story that tells something other than Grady's take on this? While I don't put anything beyond the realms of possibility when it comes to our immigration department, it would be nice to have at least something from the immigration service or the Miami airport confirming this.
