Stupid argument. Do you really think when I call you a climate change denier it's because I think you believe the earths climate has always been and always will be the same?Quote:

It's not nearly as certain as you're making it sound. There's still a lot of guesswork and theory involved with this.Quote:

However, the point is moot because there's zero point zero reason to enact climate change related environmental laws unless you get buyin from China. Otherwise you're just handicapping US competitiveness and doing little for the environment other than feeling good about yourself.
It's like being in a noisy room which you need to make quiet, but you can only convince half the people in the room to be silent, while the other half is ignoring you and repeatedly screaming. Even if the "good" half is whisper quiet, it won't come close to achieving what you need.
The kid is a moron because it’s his grandmother. If she indeed searched out others and it was up to me, I’d put her in jail. I wouldn’t care what her age was. I wouldn’t care if she died in jail. Ding their credit, start eviction procedures, the minute you punch in a SS number on an IRS site that you have no legal right to, you should go to jail.
She won’t. She should. I don’t care about this kid, but I hope the other tenants sue her and press the issue fully if she truly did that. She shouldn’t have done it for her grandson either. It’s still illegal but family, so whatever. If she did it to others, I’d enjoy seeing her die in jail.
It is simple though. Planets been getting warmer for past 80 years. It's primarily because of humans. It's not a point that can be moot. It's what scientists have figured out and reconfirmed for years now.Quote:

The whole 'i'm not sure it's caused by humans' is just a way for people who actually think "I don't want to do anything about it" to rationalize it to themselves or others. It's possible you're right and it's too late, so we're just wasting the good days that are left. Still though, it's messed up to argue that 'maybe it's just not caused by humans'.

Believe it or not, the IRS won't take a position whether or not this constitutes criminal activity. I agree that it should be some sort of privacy violation, though not rising to the level of identity theft (because there is no intention to steal anything or establish credit under someone else's name).Quote:

So I'm guessing she knew he was going to lie about the check and claim poverty again for the back April rent, so she looked it up first before even asking him. If you're doing a financial favor for a family member or close friend, and you think they're selfishly screwing you regarding payback, I don't feel it's wrong to look something like this up. You shouldn't do this to strangers, acquaintances, or business associates, but someone close to you who owes you money is a different story.
On a side note, the guy has taken down his super-radical website since provocative anti-Antifa journalist Andy Ngo exposed the situation, and linked people to some of the less-than-noble things done by the "Cascadian Resistance".
Here's what is up there now:

We are currently offline, please come back after we are back online. We are doing some technical reorganizaing. Thank you.
P.S. Fuck Andy Ngo
LOL "technical reorganizing". At least have the balls to leave the website up if you're so proud of everything you're doing.
The kid is 22, by the way. What a little brat.
Back on topic:
This shit made Neil Cavuto, and the idiots didn't bother to check as to whether or not this was a hoax. They even had that jerk Joshua Browder on -- the one who refused to update the story about the "landlord" really being the guy's grandma and tax preparer.
