Arguing with crazy freeper idiots is enough to make your brain explode
I have been conducting a running argument with the most AGGRAVATING person for the past two days on another message board. She made the statement that solar panels are BAD because they contribute to global warming by trapping the energy of the sun here on earth. When I asked her where she got her information, she said, "I heard it on NPR." I replied that though I had not researched the subject, her premise didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. She immediately attacked me as being obtuse and incapable of objectivity because I...wait for it...formed an opinion about her FACTS without thorough research. So I researched it and couldn't find anything to back her up.

After several posts where she provided no links to back her claims up, she throws out, "I have heard it in several places. Rush Limbaugh said it, too."

AHHHH....that explains it. I should have known she was a freeper since she had jumped into a discussion of the cruel treatment of pelt animals to say that the fur industry should be left alone because a lot of people made their livings that way.

10. The freeper I argued with on global warming
kept talking about all the snowstorms we keep having and said that was proof that global warming was a myth. I posted links that proved an increase in precipitation was evidence of global warming. His response was that it is common knowledge that scientists are loony leftists.

Yep, just like that common knowledge that the media is librul.

:rofl:

2. Well, they do reduce the albedo of the earth
But, until solar panels cover more than a few percent of the earth's surface, it doesn't fucking matter.

Paved roads, parking lots, and rooftops are doing a hell of a lot more damage than solar panels could ever hope to.

3. Those oceans and lakes retain a hell of a lot of the energy from the sun
We'd better get rid of them as soon as possible.

Oh yeah, and trees cause pollution :P

5. Of course she did. She's a freeper.
That's what they do - ignore the truth, and had directly back into their own world of Intelligent Design and ignorance and complete repudiation of any kind of fact, scientific data, reproducible proofs, or whatever else of science they disagree with on faith grounds; which faith is empty and liminal at best, and ignorant, sophomoric, and toddler-like in the norm.

6. Don't bother arguing with freepers that's a rule
First off the things you say their little brains cannot understand.

To them for example there is no difference between an Arab and a Persian or a Mexican and a Puerto Rican.

In fact there's no difference to them between a Mexican and an Arab.



Just don't bother man it's a waste of time out of your life.

8. All you have to do is listen to Rush
if you can stomach him. I have been arguing with freepers online for several years now. One thing they all have in common (besides an inability to spell) is that they just regurgitate Rush's talking points. Ad nauseum.
