Saw the headline, imagined the Freeper response: Deserts 'greening' from rising carbon dioxide: Green foliage boosted across the world's arid regions quote:The silly standard talk about planting more trees to offset CO2 is misguided. As humans put a marginal amount of extra CO2 into the carbon cycle more plants life will grow to absorb some of it, until we reach an equilibrium where our rate of extra contribution is being absorbed by the extra plant life. If we then quit adding the life giving CO2, the planet will get browner until we go to the sad pre-industrial less green planet equilibrium where there is less food for endangered species. So... the Earth was less-green prior to the explosion and spread of the human population and the Industrial Revolution? EDIT: Malik Obama tweeted the "Kenya birth certificate" that came out in 2009 and Freepers are hyperventilating about it all over again...

From President Trump "Receptive" To Conservative Concerns Over GOP Healthcare Bill posted by freeper cornelisthe excerpt posted:In an exclusive interview with The Brody File, Heritage Foundation President Jim DeMint says after meeting with President Trump in the Oval Office, he believes the president seems very serious when it comes to listening to concerns from conservatives over the new GOP healthcare bill. “He seemed a lot more receptive than the word we had gotten from the House that this was the bill, take it or leave it,” DeMint tells us. DeMint spoke with me Thursday afternoon in DC. Freep has opinions, and by god they're gonna share them with you. quote:To: cornelis quote:To: cornelis quote:
Meanwhile, they're not the only ones trying to tie the bill to Trump. quote:To: cornelis; KC_Lion; TigersEye; Windflier; Rational Thought; faithhopecharity Goddamnit, freep. This starts a lengthy derail in which freeper editor-surveyor is unveiled as a true believer in herbal alternative health care.

More "Disney supports the gays" threads, and you get the usual Freeper trend of "in my house we only show the *old* Disney movies like Song of the South", but that's not pure enough for this Freeper:quote:I banned even old Disney movies. The plot was always Mom and Dad say no something kids wanted. Kid’s rebel. Go on great adventure. Parents worried where are kids. Kids come home safe. No punishment. No lecture. Just mushy gushy guilt ridden parents glad kids safe. And a random Freeper's non-gay experiences (in a thread about gay vets marching on St Patrick's Day): quote:They should all be required to provide a copy of their DD214. One with THEIR name on it.

quote:The Star Trek showrunners have gone all to make sure that everyone knows that their upcoming new series on the CBS pay streaming service is openly gay. Outside of the far-far right fringe, has any serious commentator attributed reduced audiences to "too much gay stuff"? I know there's been pushback on "ew, they made my favorite character female/POC" but is just having gay people depicted in media pushing viewers away? Then again, these are the same people that said Frozen was doomed for being too gay/feminist, and as someone who's never seen the film and has no kids, it seems to have been massively popular. EDIT: Not that I think these companies are saints, I just assume they've calculated down to the nickel how wiggling the gayometer up 5% will improve sales but 7% would cause blowback. Disney wouldn't be making all this noise about a gay character in B&tB unless they thought it would pay big dividends for their brand.

Yeah, many children's stories involve absent parents. There are a few theories about that, one being that children in stories get up to big adventures that real world children would not be allowed. So to explain the lack of supervision, the parents are missing or they run away. Tale as old as time.

ToxicSlurpee posted:Freeper types just love the thought of people lesser than they suffering. They need to have a suffering class to use as a comparison so that they feel better about how lovely their own lives are. These are the kind of people that would fight a minimum wage increase because it means the guy in the department below them would be making almost as much money as them. They don't care that for a consumption economy to work people need to be paid enough to have spending money, they just want to feel like they're superior. It's the ultimate perversion of what Jesus stood for and of course they'll never see the problem as they claim to follow his teachings. Their father beat them as a kid and look how great they turned out!
