The Social Environmentalist: June 2009
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 28, 2009. What "Real Men" Are Like. Throughout my life, I've made the occasional mistake of talking to a stereotypical guy. They really exist, to my utter dismay. And they think they're the only guys out there. Douchebag: You guys have been apart for a month? He's definitely cheating on you. Me: Actually, you don't know him. All guys are different. Douchebag: (Chuckles) No they're not. Aww, you honestly believe that? To sleep with him. Men are NOT mind readers. Learn to work the toilet seat&...

The Social Environmentalist: A pricelessly arrogant picture
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2009/11/pricelessly-arrogant-picture.html
Monday, November 02, 2009. A pricelessly arrogant picture. I found this picture at http:/ savagemike.tumblr.com/post/176870564/evolution. As you might imagine, I have found a couple problems with this picture:. It shows a visual manifestation of humans getting better and more upright, connecting changes in our physiology with “advances” in our belief systems. Monotheism is depicted as a necessary step towards atheism. Tribal animism is depicted as the least “evolved”. What this tells me:. Let me be more ...

The Social Environmentalist: Stupid philosophical arguments
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2010/01/stupid-philosophical-arguments.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. The following is an excerpt from The Barefoot Bum. Anarchism is a curious topic. Its linguistic roots mean literally "no rule". But by these roots no self-described anarchist can. A definition of anarchism. Taken to the logical extreme of its roots in a non-vacuous sense, anarchism would entail absolutely no coercion. Locking your front door or physically hanging onto your wallet is coercive: you are using. To prevent a person from doing what he wants to do. Of anarchism), each ...

The Social Environmentalist: August 2008
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 20, 2008. The Infinite Ramblings of a Self-Righteous Do-Gooder. I believe an introduction is in order. Apologies: Blogspot is a mess, and when I alter the html to do what I want it to do, it doesn't respond. Hence the missing links. After posting infinite ramblings on politics and environmentalism, I thought perhaps it's time I reveal a little about myself personally, and in doing so, ramble on infinitely more. The capitalist, and even Neo-Liberal world. It is a means to get to a be...

The Social Environmentalist: "Life isn't fair." But it can be.
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2010/01/life-isnt-fair-but-it-can-be.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. Life isn't fair." But it can be. Possibly the most infuriating phrase I've ever heard—the most ridiculously stupid, dismissive argument in the world—is. Life isn't fair.". Of course I'm not suggesting that wanting a Barbie is in any way similar to wanting a fairer socioeconomic system. My point is simply that the phrase gets nowhere. You see, I think life should be fair, and can be much fairer than it is today. Hard-earned money, that. We must get rid of the idea that some peopl...

The Social Environmentalist: A question for climate change deniers
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2010/01/question-for-climate-change-deniers.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. A question for climate change deniers. Just a question for deniers, since the science is already out there - What empirical "proof" would you need to convince you that global warming is getting worse, and is anthropogenic? Would the sky have to burst into flames? Perhaps we find a gigantic cauldron in middle of the US? Or, okay, how about this:. Severe drought in Africa and Australia? Acidification of the oceans due to absorption of CO2? Hundreds of millions of climate refugees?

The Social Environmentalist: Look inward, and nowhere else
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2010/01/look-inward-and-nowhere-else.html
Monday, January 25, 2010. Look inward, and nowhere else. Years ago, I stopped referring to myself as a liberal. This was because I started to see what the term really meant—not according to conservatives—but according to radicals, and according to me. I won't go into detail about all of the qualities that liberals have that I don't, because that's not what this post is about. This post is about a specific liberal quality that drives me absolutely up the wall. Do not play the blame game. As a recent post.

The Social Environmentalist: November 2008
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Saturday, November 08, 2008. I would like to congratulate the United States for finally making a sane fucking decision. In creating a landslide victory for Barack Obama. Showing the highest voter turnout since the early 1960s, this country finally said "genug" to the lovely George W. Bush Administration. It is really too bad that it had to come to this to get a black man in the White House. PS I would like to make it clear to those idiot buttfu.silly people who think Obama is a " socialist. No, unfortuna...

The Social Environmentalist: July 2008
http://socialenvironmentalist.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Sunday, July 06, 2008. A Very Long Response. This is a very long response to a "skeptic's" critique of the graphs shown on Wikipedia's "Global Warming" page. The comment was this:. I'm curious why the 2,000 year temp chart on this link. Looks nothing like the the chart on your link. I'm curious why if you think the computer climate models are correct, they all cannot predict climate from the this past century. A layperson would say that the computer models have been proven wrong. This is my response:.
