Yes, it was. Thanks for coming out.

Actually, it does matter to many, as the volume you're speaking of accounts for an incredibly small fraction of findings from climate research. Your idea of confirmation bias is when 97% of actively published climate scientists are in agreement? To me it seems a lot more likely that the one who...

Have multiple examples for this? The overwhelming majority of data regarding climate study is readily available if you actively seek it. The incident I am inclined to believe you're talking about is "climategate", which has been blown out of the water and used time and time again despite those...

So the answer is no, you do not wish to discuss the science. Instead you wish to go in circles addressing the faults in methods and make protests claiming dishonest. We can both play that game, it gets neither side any ground and no one walks away any more informed. I'll concede I'm often crude...

The Catholic Church no longer holds the power as to what information can be spread to the masses. Never before has information and education be so readily available, to try and compare today's era to that of several hundred years ago is futile. Now can we get back to the discussion of the...

I don't agree with this at all, however it does nothing as far as speaking to the validity of climate science. If as much effort was spent by deniers to discredit the science behind AGW as the effort the put into attacking theit ethos, some ground might actually be made if their hypothesis hold...

Sorry, but when your baseless opinion as a layperson does not coincide with the findings of the overwhelming majority of experts in a particular field you are ignorant. When you spread misinformation and then claim there is no supporting evidence to a topic such as AGW, you are again ignorant as...

It was pretty clear when he avoided responding to my rebuttal twice that a discussion wasn't the goal, but the further pandering to ignorance.

Then I guess you're more informed by simply scouring the internet for information that reaffirms your preconceptions, the entirety of climate science should just defer to you as you have it all figured out. Good job once again refusing to address the statistically errors made by the claims in...

It's a collection of myths with arguments and references debunking them, ran by an entire team who are indeed educated on the matter. You're free to debunk their claims, however simply dismissing them because you disagree with their founder is absurd. You're willing to cite an Edmonton Sun...

I'll take arguments from ignorance for $500 Alex. http://climate.nasa.gov/blog/2224 This argument has been thoroughly debunked numerous times, there is no need to rehash it. It is categorically wrong to make the claim that any cessation to warming has occurred up till 2015, and it is...

And there are arguments to support the claim that they did not in fact achieve the same standards, that while male students were presented pass/fail events, females were allowed to be rolled back. It comes down to who you wish to believe. Their course mate's and a few outspoken instructors, or...

Your anecdotes as pilot are not confirmed by members of those units, so you may want to have a chat with those who claimed to pass both selections and course. Those units are not many decades old, knowledge of women who made the grade hasn't been lost to the ages. I am aware of one female to...

Go over the last few pages and tell me what the discussion has progressed to. The origins of this thread are nearly 3 years old, and are the beginnings of an entirely different discussion, hence the merged topics in the title. If you guys wish to reply to a comment made, keep your response...

I realize that, and as before, a mbr reads too far into things. The topic at hand here is whether or not women can physically withstand the rigors of Ranger school, or schools/course/selections similar to it. No one is saying they do not have the mental or resilience of aptitude to take these...

We're not talking about Armored soldiers here, we're talking about those which require a mbr to pass a physically grueling course are we not? Stop trying to move the goalposts.

Next time I head to the range I'll call the CFO and let them know I'm on my way, but that Trudeau said I don't require a permit. Want to take bets on how far I make it?

As a leadership course, I can entirely concede that in this instance it would make sense to have the standards reflective of the individual. However, that was not the case when these women were put on the course. The standards were known, and the preparation was modified to provide them...

We're not a bunch of a teenage girls, so you can lose the haters phrase. This is unequivocally lowering the standards if you're dropping certain tasks to allow for more success for females/smaller males. What's disproportionate about 200lb stretcher carries over an obscene distance, that IS a...

I'm not sure a reversal of anything is necessary, rather cessation any special treatment if the whistle blowers are being truthful. I think all trades should be open to women, and I'm glad that in the CF it works that way. The spot should be held by the very best available candidate...
