Can't hold fire or wind in your hand thoughCan all be photographed.
Nobody said it had to be visible.
To the OP, I think I know what you're getting at.. Some people say something like "I believe x so that's my reality.." ignoring that objective reality is not determined by subjective beliefs, that's what makes it objective... So you can believe 2+2=5 all you want, it doesn't make it true to you or to me or to anyone. It just makes you stupid and wrong. Same thing goes for any other beliefs.

Facts can be proven, they have supporting evidence and fit into a larger framework.
Gravity is a theory, because we still don't know quite why it works the way it does. Nonetheless, gravity is a fact; don't try stepping off a cliff without your safety harness or a hang glider!

Facts are immutable, interpretive opinions thereof, not so much.
Facts should be immune from any and all opinions.
Nowadays, " facts" have become subjective, based upon contextual interpretations, which may enhance a political point of view.
It is indeed a brave new world my friends.

this is what you say.
this is what white supremacist leader david duke has to say:
http://davidduke.com/global-warming-is-still-a-hoax/
so it is a fact. you shun NASA, NOAA, and 34 national academies of science, outright state that they are part of an orchestrated conspiracy, and put your faith in white supremacists instead.
fact.
that makes you a retarded person by all objective standards.
fact.

fact: you do not smoke or grow cannabis.
fact: you have joined a white supremacy group here on RIU
fact: you tried to start a white supremacy book club on RIU.
fact: you have cheered for multiple cannabis growers on this site to go to federal prison.
fact: you taunted one member with federal prison less than a couple hours before his home was raided and he went to federal prison.
fact: you then said that member deserved to go to federal prison, saying he deserved to be "hoisted on his own petard"
fact: you worked for the federal government around the time that member went to federal prison
fact: many members here honestly feel that you are a rat and a snitch
these are all facts. now why would any of us want you on our forum?

Wow, Bucky is outdoing himself.
Duke is not a scientist, and even a broken clock will be correct twice a day, this means nothing, and yet look at the antics of the merry Buckster pretending that his opinion means anything at all.
Desperate is as desperate does, invoking the opinions of the contemptible Duke simply undermines your credibility, as it is evidence of your diversionary and deflective tactics
This is soo much easier than actually having to challenge the ideas of his ideological opponents, he would much rather simply attack the people and avoid the ideas altogether.
He demeans, denigrates and besmirches all personal attributes of his perceived opponents. Stature, age and physical characteristics are all well within his purview of hateful personal attacks.
Ideas, ? Who needs to discuss ideas... not the ad-hom hit man Uncle Buck!

Buck is simply a churning, bubbling, seething, cauldron of hate, bile and vitriol. He spews this noxious invective laden stew upon any and all who have the temerity to disagree with him.

i am not invoking david duke. i am simply standing up your retarded opinion next to his and comparing them. they match.
you guys have the same exact opinion on this issue as well as many others.
by your own standards, you have called yourself a dummy and a liar. a prevaricator beyond description. and now you are saying you undermine your own credibility by agreeing 100% with david duke, the white supremacist KKK leader.
don't blame me for the fact that you share so many opinions with david duke.
