Brian Williams Offers Clarification About 2003 Iraq Incident
This is where he claimed to be shot down in a Chinook helicopter, which turns out be complete bunk, and has retold the story several time, even on Letterman.
With rumors page, who can you believe? Do the lab leaders lie?
Give examples without names.

Barak, never said that, he said that horrible crimes have been committed in the name of Christianity. This is not really a controversial statement. Are the crusades morally equivalent to ISIS, yes but that was long time ago. Christianity has for the most part evolved over the last 2000 years to a more rational place where the modern believers leave out most of the bad stuff and keep the good things. The same is true for certain parts of the Muslim world, so I would say progress is being made. It may not seem like that at times but the world is much safer now than before.

Yes, I am so glad that Bush is gone, indeed a poor excuse for a President. The followup was not much better but pretty much the same.
February 8, 2015 at 8:08 AM
The ironical issue when McMillan informed us to "follow the money" was for the most part he informing us the LANL Transuranic Program (LTP). Oh, there was money there alright, a $56 M bill placed on McMillan's "tab", by the New Mexico Environmental Department (NMED). That's a lot of lobster, steaks, and wine.
February 7, 2015 at 6:29 PM
The president and his supporters really ought to take a history class (or two or three or ...). While the links below are conservative or conservative-like sites, they describe the crusades in proper historical context.
No. The crusades and ISIS are not morally equivalent.

It's always a good rule of thumb not to hold people to a standard you would not want to be held to.

Yes they are pretty much equivalent. The sites you point to are revisionist history, by people who have no understanding whatsoever of history. Try thinking for yourself next time.

The competition for the current LANS Lab Director and President, which McMillan was selected, was competed in a fair and open competition with no biases or prejudices.

WINNER!

Apparently you believe a propaganda about the crusades that is not backed by any fact but is supported by right wing fanatics. Christianity has plenty of blood on it's hands, look what happened to the native populations in North and South America. Oh that's right the Christian Spanish where simply responding to an eminent invasion from the New World so they where justified. I get that you do not like Obama however his comments about Christianity are correct. Luckily most modern day Christianity is very different from what it was like in the past.
February 8, 2015 at 8:17 PM
Not "imminent" (you didn't mean "eminent") but already in place and carried out for almost 100 years. Your hatred of Christianity and of religion in general blinds you to clear historical facts. PS: North and South America are the prime beneficiaries of Christian benevolence and charity. You need to get over your atheistic hatred.
Wow, just wow. I bet you really love celebrating Columbus day. You are one evil dude.
I love the competition in this thread between legitimate "lies" and the Crusades. Man I love this Blog. It's like the "good ole days" when LANL and LLNL workers could express their opinion openly in a real debate without retaliation.
February 9, 2015 at 5:54 AM"
In some sense the argument about the crusades is about lying. You can argue that it is a lie that crusades where about "liberating the holy land". The crusades where really just a rational and moral response to Islamic terrorism encroaching into Europe.
February 8, 2015 at 9:32 PM
You know almost all the original scientists who where working on the bomb where atheists, including Edward Teller.

I "followed the money" from Charlie "GQ" McMillan's All-Hands talk several years ago and I found it! It's in his bulging bank account. Go figure?
February 9, 2015 at 7:22 AM
So what? Not all atheists hate religion. Besides, I suspect their atheism in some ways allowed them to accept the carnage they were about to cause. Too bad the object of their work was defeated before they were ready.
February 9, 2015 at 7:22 AM
... and jewish.
February 9, 2015 at 9:32 AM
Hence their hatred of the Nazis, who also espoused atheism.
This is not supported by statistics. Scientists in general are usually atheists. 93 percent of the members of the National Academy of Sciences are atheist. So only a small percentage of scientists are believers. It might be interesting to plot the fraction of atheists at the lab as function of time and correlate it with the quality of science at the labs. Teller was an atheist long before he worked on the bomb.
Self described, baptized are saved.
They are both right, PHD not withstanding
Some reject salvation, as it has been said, like a pearl before swine.
Those who can hear, let them hear.
Islam has brought and brings the truth that Allah alone is the only TRUTH in the universe to billions of souls worldwide. Nothing compares.

Citation please. Otherwise you are just another troll.
By the way why are you surprised by this?
If this is supposed to support the claim made by 6:00 PM, it is weak at best, and misrepresentative of the data. A better summary would be: "In a survey published in 1998, just over 36.1% of the NAS members in biological and physical sciences self-identified as overt atheists."
Wrong it said 72.2% were overtly atheistic, 20.8% agnostic. That leaves 7% believers.
Go back and study the survey results, then re-read what February 10, 2015 at 3:46 AM said. He is absolutely correct, since half of the members did not respond and no one knows the answer from them. Thus "just over 36.1% of the NAS members in biological and physical sciences self-identified as overt atheists" is a correct statement. I hope you are not a scientist; or maybe you are a "climate scientist" since they are also skilled at manipulating data.
You have every heard of something called a "representative sample"? The are often used in a subject called "science". A safe conclusion to say is that over 90% of the members of NAS are non-believers. I might add that your thoughts about global warming give away your right wing ignorance.
Your data analysis is flawed, as is your knowledge of statistics. The survey sample was never, nor was it represented to be, "representative." That goal was not even attempted by the survey. The recent revelations about "climate scientists'" "adjustments" of global temperature data is obviously news to you. Well, your confirmation bias would never let you consider it anyway. Suffice it to say that what your ilk wants will never happen. Just a question: what would you do if all carbon emissions were stopped tomorrow and the declaration were made that human-caused climate change was prevented, yet the climate kept changing, as it always has?? Surely, as a scientist, you cannot deny that historical "warming periods" and "little ice ages" were NOT the result of human intervention?

If you only vote for people you think "care about you" you are a very low-information voter and should probably just stay home so the adults can vote faster.

This is true but will this not also the fate of us all if we stay at the privately run NNSA labs. We either sell our souls, drink the Kool-Aid, go mad, or try and do your best to just end up extremely bitter. All these scenarios end the same way...dark and hopeless. We can make fun of POS all we want but POS is our future.
Huh? What part of that statement is English? Missing a verb somewhere?

You can choose the "dark side" if you want to. I always though that the exceptional education and ability that got you a job at LLNL meant that you would have multiple opportunities open to you for your career. With your (and POS's) lack of vision and ambition you deserve what you get. Nobody owes you a living.
