"shit-faced" .... one of the better ones....possibly reference to having your head in a dunny bowl after too many sherbets ....

So 'pissed' travels OK over the pond....but the same definitely can't be said about 'fanny' ...  [it ain't yer bum over here]

Considering the Australian connotation is just as strange, I'm not sure why you find that weird.

Bill Nye The Science Wacko Guy - http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/apr/14/bill-nye-open-criminal-charges-jail-time-climate-c/

What a twat!  Compulsory jail time for idiot scientist who say outrageous things, more like it.... and that includes pro-global warming statemenrts/comments

Compulsory jail time for politcians who want to turn the world into a 'global warming dictatorship' must also be introduced to save the world.

I mean, seriously, if they get their way with jailing GW dissenters/non-believers, what's the next step?  Jack-booted death squads and summary executions for difficult individuals who won't be swayed? 

No, once prison terms are used for non-criminal events, ideals and beliefs, such as these, a whole can of worms is opened and it makes a complete mockery of any judicial system and the people duty-bound to uphold it.  I know if I were a judge, I'd throw it out before it reached my courtroom, cos I'd be too ashamed to preside over it.  Hopefully US judges and judges around the world think similarly and never let this madness get off the ground.

Yup, that's about it.  Wonder how he'd feel about compulsory jail time for ugly scientists?

That refers to ugly on the inside as well as the outside.... and it would seem Bill Nye has inner and outer ugly in abundance.

Yeah, but you are 50 shades of peculiar beyond normal, so I'd expect you to spank it... with your hand, that is.  You obviously need a g/f with masochistic tendencies, cos regular girls aren't into that sorta thing unless yer willing to kiss it better.

My point is that, given how politicized the current environment is, I feel it behooves us to chose illustrations that are not seen as favoring one party over another.  You chose an illustration that hits the Dems.  My point is that both parties do this, and I then pointed to a number of GOP antics that have already criminalized more 'liberal' behaviors.  Why pick on the Dems? 

BTW, thank you for not criminalizing me.      This in one of the few places we, you and I, can discuss things, remain civil, and even enjoy one another s thoughts without going all flamey.  I've enjoyed many of your posts in the past - even the ones I don't fully agree with.  Always a pleasure to discuss things with mature folks like you.   Oh, the police are at the door, have to go...       

And incorrectly spelling behaviours oughta be criminalised, too.

Ahh... the joys of English vs. American English...

Gotta love rigging the models to match reality - "SEE, we were right all along!"  And stretching the X axis to make 3mm (probably within the margin of measurement error) look like 6 feet.  Gotta love that shit.  So many holes in that video.  Most bigger than the ozone hole.

It's not called 'rigging' in scientific circles... well those scientific circles hell bent on trying to prove Global Warming exists.  No, it's called 'creative mathematics' and 'creative computing'.  Thankfully they're not 'bankers' is all I gotta say.

Nope, gotta call it out as BULLSHIT with capital a FBL [Fucking Big Lie]. 

There is NO hole in the ozone layer.  Didn't you know it is a portal to another dimension - a parallel world, if you like - a land of milk and honey where politicians and bankers are honest, car salesmen never sell 'lemons' and free beer flows 24/7 from kegs publicly placed in convenient locations everywhere.

I've been trying to get there for years, but I lost my passport and they won't reissue me a new one cos I have no photo ID.  That's right, the authorities say that without accredited photo ID I don't exist.  Shoot, I even went outside the passport office and took a selfie to prove that I do exist, but nope, it weren't good enough.

Lookin' like it should stay safe to swim in the ocean, too.

Yeah, I'm already lookin' at you, . 

Except for the sharks, jellyfish and sea snakes, etc.  Other than those [and possibly undiscovered prehistoric monsters lurking in the deep, the oceans are quite safe... except for tidal rips, undercurrents and sultanas.  The other hazard would be Mother Nature whipping up a force 8 gale with waves breaking over the top decks of ocean-going vessels as high as 15 storey banks in downtown Manhattan  Other than that, our oceans are completely safe.... except for ocean-going pirates [not the common Caribbean kind... Johnny Depp, you gotta lot ter answer fer, me bucko], buccaneers and privateers.

As for Acidification - like WTF is that - well I do know how it is possible, but I doubt very much we'd get full international cooperation to achieve it.  The Greenies and other groups would protest and shoot it down before it got started... and quite rightly so.  The thing is, I have acid in my pee, as does everyone else, and if everyone worldwide peed in the world's oceans collectively the acidic levels would rise dramatically and we'd see many marine species prouting legs and walking upon land for the first time, as some of their ancient ancestors did many millions of years ago.

Oh, and another bunch of cranks who'd oppose the collective peeing would be those religious nuts who drink their own pee... though the cops 'd have a field day charging everyone with wilful public exposure.

As for the pee drinking religious nuts... they can have that to themselves.  I believe in recycling where possible to help conserve resources, but that's going waaay too far.  I'd have to be stranded in the desert and near dying of thirst before i'd consider.... ughh, nah, I'd ring Dominos, cos they deliver just about everywhere, and order a thirst quenching coke and a pizza.
