Oh so your idea is we shouldn't criticize scientific racists because they're right? No, we criticize them because they're wrong, the whole thing is made up pseudoscience as window-dressing for bigotry.

Will the United States exist for the remainder of human history simply because "there is no handy 'process'" by which states can secede? The idea is silly. I'm not sure why you're telling me your silly idea,

It's not legal advice. People can just be wrong and you can tell them you think that without coming off as a jerk. That wasn't a statement towards the individual. That was a statement of what could befall someone who took their a

There is endless talk about US states seceding but this question was settled by what is still the country's deadliest war. There's no meaningful 'process' by which a US state can secede so the talk is limited to talk.

OP was giving what amounted to legal advice That is a huge overstatement that you can't really use to justify the haranguing. They just popped in to address the potential issue and let people know they're trying to sort it out.

we have all sorts of compounding effects. It's still an atmosphere mostly made of nitrogen, on a scale vastly exceeding 2000 years. I don't have an intuition for how molecules actually disperse, but I do know that general clima

In the absence of any clear guideline on the protocol 'Send meta questions to the mods' is all over the guidelines and countless mod comments over the years.

What's the 'half-life' you're thinking of? Your basic gas molecules will last a lot longer than 2k years short of being involved in some reaction or another. And a lot of these reactions aren't that easy in atmosphe
