It's become a surreal world

[mamaslyth]

I was feeling discouraged. This morning I woke up and my first thought was "I live in a time when NASA has gone rogue. There is something totally badass about that."

It was heady having such hope again, but as the day went on and I talked to friends I realized something.
I am living in a country where civil servants have been forced to go rogue

I can't take your opinion on science seriously when you think taking away an official Twitter account is the "silencing of research."

That isn't a rational response. It is a hysterical response.

I wasn't talking about the taking away of a Twitter account. Though I can see how someone who is not following me on FB would mistake that. The silencing of the Twitter account just gave an avenue for people to use. I was talking about politicians being in control of what research is allowed to the public and what isn't

A libertarian wouldn't shudder because a libertarian thinks it shouldn't be funded by the government in the first place. The research has ALWAYS been tainted from that -- it was just taint that the scientists who work for the government agreed with, so they embraced it. Besides, weren't all these people promising to quit if their candidate didn't win the election? Why are they even there to argue about it?

The USDA inspections are all voluntary. It's not like the people who had something to hide were calling them to inspect in the first place.

It isn't my fault if your arguments are shameful. If you feel shame, it is you and your arguments bringing it on. This entire sham has laid bare the rank lie behind the "civil servant" system -- they are neither, and it's time to stop pretending that they are.

ROTFL!!!

Cupcake, if you want to dance, bring data. I spend my days being insulted by idiots who can't find a home button on their phone. I'm not about to give a damn about someone who thinks that hysteria means acknowledging an emotional reaction to something.

Come on, you can debate better than this. Or is my memory off on that?

I can't prove a negative against a moving target. This nazi hallucination is coming from the same people who were terrified that clowns were going to drag their kids into the woods four months ago.

My debate skills are just as good as they always were. You can't tell because you are on the bottom end of the Dunning-Kruger effect this time. If you can find your wits, you'll realize how ridiculous you are acting.

You didn't even try. You are only relying on bullying tactics. You have nothing solid.

I could have come up with a counter argument, but since you are obviously no longer capable of such reasoning, perhaps I should leave you to your very emotional and biased hissy fit.
