What is the least scientifically accurate website that's been posted by a skeptic here?
There are rules to this.

One answer only, entries with multiple websites are disqualified. You have to choose.

Having some good science on the website offsets bad. One howler is not enough, there has to be a pattern.

If you list a homepage, please indicate whether your entry is for that homepage, or the whole site.

Thank you.

Geez that’s tough. I’m going to go with this article linked today:

http://www.larouchepub.com/eiw/public/20 07/2007_10-19/2007-11/pdf/38_711_science .pdf

It’s written by an MD who clearly knows next to nothing about the basics of climate science. After ranting about the IPCC he then tries to disprove the basic premise of man-made global warming by using the water vapor and 0.3% human CO2 contribution arguments. I stopped reading at that point, but I’m sure the rest is just as bad! He also seems to use the usual misleading graphs and ‘past climate cycles were natural’ argument.

He has all the denier bases covered except SUVs on Mars!

It’s got to be Friends of Science. Here is their home page http://www.friendsofscience.org/

The Friends of Science are the same people who brought you the comedy video "Climate Catastrophy Cancelled" http://www.friendsofscience.org/index.ph p?id=172

It’s a site out of Calgary Alberta Canada that is heavily subsidized by the fossil fuel industry and is closely connected with such climate change deniers as Tim Ball, Tim Patterson, and Ross McKitrick.

I’ll go with Wikipedia, your favorite. How is the Quantum Mechanics coming? Didn’t you say that you can’t prove AGW through experiment or formulation, just like you can’t prove Quantum Mechanics through experiments? With such a large gulf between your knowledge and scientific reality, how do you determine what is scientifically accurate and what is a howler?

How do I earn my horses respect?
Well I just got this horse around a month or so ago and I’m pretty sure that I have earned her trust but not her respect. Most of the time when I go to feed her and my other horse she tends to run over me so I try to push her away so she isn’t in my space but then she’ll trot in front of me so I’ll do it again and she’ll turn and try and kick me and throw her head so I smack her on the neck so she tries to kick me again. Also when I go to play with her it seems like she doesn’t respect me and she just thinks that I’m one of her buddies because when I play with her she plays a little bit to much and then she’ll start jumping in the air and kicking at me. I know that she’s just playing but if she respected me wouldn’t she no the boundaries of playing? So what can I do to earn her respect without her hurting me?

when you go to feed her if she comes right up and starts pushing you and everything bring the food back to the shed or somewhere and tell her off, keep trying until she realises she wont get her food until shes nice.

I would try using Monty Robert’s method of join-up. He got a wild mustang to listen to him. Also, I recommend the book "The Soul of a Horse" by Joe Camp. (thesoulofahorse.com) It is a great read and I think you and your horse will benefit from it.
Michaela | Dec 28, 2009

Get an experienced horse owner with patience to show you what to do to get your horse under control. A horse that kicks at you is dangerous and if it connects could injure you or even kill you. I would recommend training for your horse as well as yourself.

Im not into unnecessary suffering but in a herd the herd leader as a last resort will use physical contact,i.e. kicking.When handling your youngster stand tall and dominant.Never show signs of fear. Use a firm tone of voice and mean it.(I don’t mean shouting though)Just a voice of authority.For safety reasons never feed in a field with other horses in, they will naturally fight which will result in one of them getting injured,or even worse,you getting hurt.You should only ever reward good behavior and if she doesn’t move back when you approach with a bucket then remove the food. You need to nip this behavior in the bud now,if not you`ll end up getting hurt and have an extremely bad mannered horse on your hands.She needs to see yu as the herd leader,otherwise you`ll never get her to respect you.Good luck. Hope this helps.P.s .Try taking a schooling whip in the Field with you(not to beat her with)just so she learns to respect your space.
Anna T | Dec 28, 2009

If you can’t get someone local to help you with this (an experienced horse person would be good), at least stop handling her unless she is tied up. I don’t know what you’re doing to "play" with her, but whatever it is, stop. You’re going to get kicked and hurt. Don’t try to assert your dominance when she is loose and the other horse is around, you ARE going to get hurt eventually.

When it’s time to feed, halter her and tie her. If she won’t lead, use a stud chain if you have to. Tie her up and do her feet and groom her. If she gets in your space while you are doing these basic chores, it’s easy to push her away and smack her. She won’t be able to kick at you. After a while she will learn.

I agree with others, also. The minute she tries to boss you, take the food away.

One day my horse was up to his tricks and would not pick up his foot for my daughter. I started tapping him with a riding crop. Not hard, but it probably stung a little. I kept up a steady tapping until he shifted his weight. He never did pick up his foot for her (my bad for stopping with the crop when he moved, I guess), but even though I didn’t do this perfectly, his attitude was MUCH better after that. (Got that idea from Clinton Anderson). Just me consistenly pushing him out of my space and then getting really firm with him that day, and I saw a big improvement.

Be safe.

I agree completely with Michaela. That book will help you alot! The problem is that your horse doesn’t see you as her leader. Try looking up Monty Roberts’s methods to gaining respect and becoming your horse’s leader. Also, if you want respect, you can’t "play" with your horse. She could accidently hurt you and remember-she’s not a dog. Keep in mind-if you want respect, you must first give it.

Dead Man (1995) IMDB rating: 7.60 Plot: Dead Man is the story of a young man’s journey, both physically and spiritually, into very unfamiliar terrain. William Blake travels to the extreme western frontiers of America sometime in the 2nd half of the 19th century. Lost and badly wounded, he encounters a very odd, outcast Native American, named “Nobody,” who believes Blake is actually the dead English poet of the same name. The story, with Nobody’s help, leads William Blake through situations that are in turn comical and violent. Contrary to his nature, circumstances transform Blake into a hunted outlaw, a killer, and a man whose physical existence is slowly slipping away. Thrown into a world that is cruel and chaotic, his eyes are opened to the fragility that defines the realm of the living. It is as though he passes through the surface of a mirror, and emerges into a previously-unknown world that exists on the other side.

running men? any one every heard of these?
there is this creature that my friends talk about called a "running man" i cant seem to find a picture of them but they are something to behold. They are thin talk human looking creature but their skin is gray as ash and elongated foreheads. the craziest part is their legs bend backwards instead of forwards which helps them run freakishly fast. that’s why they are called running men. they show up when you drive on forested or country roads. they run as fast as they possibly can to you car, appearing to be on a collision course but right at the last second they either stop or pivot to run along side your car.

it may sound dumb but can you imagine some dead looking alien man thing running right at your car in the middle of no where?

American Splendor (2003) IMDB rating: 7.70 Plot: Harvey Pekar is file clerk at the local VA hospital. His interactions with his co-workers offer some relief from the monotony, and their discussions encompass everything from music to the decline of American culture to new flavors of jellybeans and life itself. At home, Harvey fills his days with reading, writing and listening to jazz. His apartment is filled with thousands of books and LPs, and he regularly scours Cleveland’s thrift stores and garage sales for more, savoring the rare joy of a 25-cent find. It is at one of these junk sales that Harvey meets Robert Crumb, a greeting card artist and music enthusiast. When, years later, Crumb finds international success for his underground comics, the idea that comic books can be a valid art form for adults inspires Harvey to write his own brand of comic book. An admirer of naturalist writers like Theodore Dreiser, Harvey makes his American Splendor a truthful, unsentimental record of his working-class life, a warts-and-all self portrait. First published in 1976, the comic earns Harvey cult fame throughout the 1980s and eventually leads him to the sardonic Joyce Barber, a partner in a Delaware comic book store who end ups being Harvey’s true soul mate as they experience the bizarre byproducts of Harvey’s cult celebrity stature.

Importance of a Rickshaw's bell? ( City of Joy)?
In your opinion, whats the importance of the rickshaw’s possession of a bell to signal their role in the City of Joy. Whats the association between the bell and the "identity". In your life, do you see any analogy to the the bell? This was on my exam today and I’m curious as to what other people’s answers are.

---

Rickshaw runners use a small spherical bell as an auditory device to make their presence known in the busy streets where they operate. The small bell is made or iron or bronze. It is about 4 cm. (1.5 inches) in diameter and fits nicely in the hand, very much like cameras are hand held and secured by slipping their strap onto one
