Talk:Cape Breton accent

message: Should this be formally named Cape Breton Island accent?  —Michael Z. 2005-03-27 17:40 Z
Probably not. Google shows a few hundred hits for "Cape Breton accent", fewer for "Cape Breton English", very few for "Cape Breton dialect", and none for "Cape Breton Island accent", "Cape Breton Island English", or "Cape Breton Island dialect". --Angr 19:54, 27 Mar 2005 (UTC)

message: I would like to take a brief moment just to break down our beautiful accents a bit more. As a resident of New Waterford, I would have to say that there is a difference between Glace Bay's accent and our own. It's actually a bit difficult to explain unless you live here or there. I personally think that Glace Bay has one of the stronger Cape Breton accents on the island. For example, the use of the word "bi" is used alot more in their dialect then ours. The easiest way to put this is that their accent is a bit stronger than ours.  
I would also like to add that I don't know a single person in the CBRM that trills their r's!
I think that basically cape bretoners sound like off brand newfies. Its a time an a half.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Iknowsomestuff (talk • contribs) 23:38, 14 September 2017 (UTC)

message: This bio  has nothing in it that indicates that he's a conservative or even described himself as a conservative.  In reading on Greer, I see that label "conservative" appears to apply only to give the impression that his decisions in the Schiavo case were motivated by a conservative judicial philsophy which is an unsupported point of view these articles push.
I propose to remove the conservative label and will do so unless it can be shown here how he merits this label. patsw 13:16, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: Is Greer a Conservative?

message: Would the following be noteable?
:Conservative online news site WorldNetDaily reported allegations by The Center for Reclaiming America and the Empire Journal that George Greer received a contribution of $250 for his 2004 re-election campaign from Felos & Felos, the law firm of George Felos, and that other pro-Michael Schiavo lawyers gave money for his re-election campaign. Judges are not required to recuse themselves in such circumstances, but a 2002 poll by the American Bar Association said that 84 percent of all Americans are concerned that the impartiality of judges is compromised by their need to raise campaign contributions.

Talk:Earth immune system

message: directed to User:Vsmith first
I don't think that purveyors of this theory would say there is scientific evidence supporting it.  That's why I stubbed it to "Philosophy".  According to the Pseudoscience article: "any body of knowledge purported to be scientific or supported by science but which fails to comply with the scientific method." (which you might have helped write, perhaps ... I haven't looked)  The comparison to the immune system is a convenient and readily understandable metaphor and not an extrapolation of mechanisms up to the ecosystem level.  That's not true of all supporters, particularly those that specifically believe AIDS is a way of Gaia erasing a cancer, though using this as a metaphor isn't out of bounds for a philosophical concept.  Ultimately some of aspects of this philosophy will be testable and others not, and at that point there'll be a decision made by believers individually as to whether to follow the pseudoscientific or scientific route.  I don't think it's reached that point yet.  Consider that the ancient Greek theory of the atom, the indivisible particle, was first philosophy, then scientifically supported theory, and now a known incorrect view ... if one takes the scientific historical view that the pre-wave theory atom was semantically identical to the Greek concept, which I do at this point.
I'll not remove the pseudoscience stuff yet, until folks have a chance to comment if they desire to do so.
Courtland 17:41, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)
:Hmm... maybe it isn't peudoscience - just plain pseudo...? Philosophy?? don't really think it fits, but then maybe anything some kook comes up with could be considered philosophy. Wikipedia doesn't have a bullshit category (maybe it should :-) The idea no doubt is an offshoot of the Gaia hypothesis, so the first paragraph is probably factual re: a metaphorical allusion to Gaia healing herself (new age kooks did a lot of distorting of the Gaia concept). But, that second paragraph is pure unadulterated bullcrap and should be deleted. Vsmith 02:59, 28 Mar 2005 (UTC)

There is historical information in the Smart Tag article that does not apply to the E-ZPass system as a whole.
