You have read or heard perhaps several variations of it before. Where and when? It was a long time ago. Scratch your head and try to remember...Mike Faganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745281285031316740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840508226007630755.post-15840199905395312042010-10-01T16:43:39.207+08:002010-10-01T16:43:39.207+08:00If that is so, then why can't you cite appropr...If that is so, then why can't you cite appropriate evidence for your assertion that sea levels around Taiwan are rising?

Skepticism is a good thing, but if it blinds you to reality then it is self defeating.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061413827755873948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840508226007630755.post-63984580121888960862010-10-01T11:22:19.410+08:002010-10-01T11:22:19.410+08:00Sure, but my challenge to you is as much about you...Sure, but my challenge to you is as much about your asserting of factual claims without clear evidence (e.g. rising sea levels) as it is about ideas. I understand your point about our ideology being at odds, but if you refuse to back up your claims to facts then you only invite the suspicion that it is because you can't, in which case you may be discrediting yourself in the eyes of your other readers.Mike Faganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745281285031316740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2840508226007630755.post-26774130101078395872010-10-01T10:54:20.369+08:002010-10-01T10:54:20.369+08:00I haven't replied to your comment because I do...I haven't replied to your comment because I don't think we are going to gain anything useful from debating. Your ideas are at odds with mine and will continue to be regardless of how I respond to your comments. Of course you are always welcome to comment on my blog, but whether I reply to your comment is entirely my own choice.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13061413827755873948noreply@blogger.com
