You see, Nelson??? They don't even want to see the evidence. Three links I posted (and I can post them ad infinitum, the evidence is more than overwhelming) haven't been even looked at. They keep calling this cockamamie "ranking" objective evidence".... Which, again, is very telling: if the horrendous, Orwenllian, nightmarish Scandinavian dystopia is their ideal society, we are in for a rough ride.

La, la, la, it's a paradise:
Unfortunately, as you say, the actual evidence doesn't mean anything to these people. There is no point debating these people to convince them, only as an example so that others can see.
I'm going to take a break from Skeptiko for a while, but just to underline some patterns here. As Roberta has shown on this thread, she made it seem as if the only options were to have either 1. a global tax system or 2. risk destroying the planet. She then claimed she was for decentralization, even though at the same time she defended the Communist Manifesto to the hilt. The same can be seen in the disingenuousness of Rees, whose posts are mainly rhetoric and disinfo. Even in the link to the preface of the Communist Manifesto I posted above, Marx and Engels wrote that they didn't give more detailed instructions on what the proletariat should do, because the situation was fluid. Even the word Manifesto is an indicator of what their intention was. But Roberta and Rees will continue to defend this mass-murdering ideology and many more millions of people who simply want to live their lives in peace might be killed for this bloodthirsty, megalomaniacal movement.
Hopefully this will never happen again!
Take care, Enrique, it's been nice talking to you and other well-intentioned people here at Skeptiko!
