    Someone bet me I couldn't. So I am. I will not be posting on political matters, even if summoned (though I may remind someone that I am not posting political matters). I reserve the right to post in threads on current events in a non-political manner, and of course matters of science in a non-political manner. Facts and feelings, no political statements. You may police me.


    This retirement is indefinite, but will be at least a month as per the conditions of the bet.

    At this time I will take any questions you may have regarding this, but will not respond to anything political.

    This is about a bet. Money. You know I like to argue. This is going to hurt.

    How did I not see that angle coming?

    50 bucks. You should just enjoy the decline in rabble-rousing.

    Right. But if I can further corrupt your honor by welshing on a bet in order to make equivalent money, I feel I've done me proud.

    Whoever is making the bet pm me and for $25 I'll post every crackpot anti global warming article on the Internet.

    Why pay for something Ben is going to do for free, anyway?

    I negotiated for science, which climate change falls under. So long as I don't get political.

    Just not posting is bullsh!t. You shouldn't even be able to browse the political topics. Who negotiated this bet?

    I wish you wouldn't. Your view, while usually different than most, is at least worth hearing. You're not like LG.

    This bet makes about as much sense as abortion, climate change, a progressive tax structure, or the idea that racism exists in today's society.

    IP will have cold sweats after he sees what Ben will be posting in the Global Warming thread during this hiatus.

    So you are a true pure capitalist right winger if all you care about is money. Well done.
