Whenever someone claims the existence of some state of affairs, I feel entitled to ask "where?" and "when?" My carrot and lentil soup existed at 6:30 ...
I can see a little vid of Netanyahu looking 'quizzical' in an X screenshot thingy, a few posts back. Which i interpret as "you weren't supposed to say...
His first final solution speech. Now Hitler never made a final solution speech, it was implemented discreetly. It is difficult to tell the difference ...
Meanwhile the markets went down, and then the market went up, and some people played the market and made a lot of money very quickly indeed. And in an...
I defy you to come up with anything remotely as Kafkaesque as spending 180 years compensating slave owners for depriving them of their slaves. Mind yo...
Have loads of fun! I have paid my sewer clearing dues; you always hope to find a diamond ring or a bag of crack or something, but that stuff always ha...
1) I had an estate car for a couple of years when I started a vegetable and whole-food shop, and needed to transport goods in the 80s. It was petrol, ...
The U.K. government only just finished paying its debts to slave owners in 2015 But we paid our war debts to the US earlier. In a competition for arse...
Fast fact 2. The British NHS covers every citizen. The N stands for "National". Fast fact 3. chttps://www.cnbc.com/2013/06/25/medical-bills-are-the-bi...
I think the more serious problem with democracy is that it mandates short-termism in policy. Any problem that can be kicked down the road by 5 years i...
That's completely ridiculous. The US government doesn't even have a health service, and barely an education service. And the resolution of the problem...
So your response to the complete refutation of your first argument, is to repeat your second argument as if that has not also been thoroughly refuted....
Indeed. Lets divide by two because who cares if sick and old people die only a little bit early. So that's 8 deaths in 3 years compared to 1500 deaths...
Just to be completely transparent, there are of course always problems with technology and infrastructure. however, in relation to the problems of cli...
No. You can rely on the reliable truth of my non-agreement. On this matter I speak with authority. I am not pretending to disagree, I actually do disa...
Faith? I think it probable that new technology will improve in safety and efficiency. But addressing climate change is far more a matter of the collec...
I don't believe you. It is not credible that either of you are concerned about safety, because you only bring up these concerns as a reason for not de...
And that is the careful conclusion that MGUY doesn't come to, because he's a petrol-head. New technology has sparse statistics and as problems come to...
I spend some time ("Your time starts, now!") wading through crap, :mask: and then, I come here (Your time ends now!). As a combination of good sense a...
What about petrol cars? Can they not explode? Batteries are a new hazard that people need to become aware of. But the information that would be more i...
Since you ask, looking at the banner of his website, he declares upfront that his site is an EV free zone. Then there are some videos highlighting pro...
Thank you for sharing that. I agree. My ex wife killed herself, and later my second wife's niece. I am left, as I am always left after contributions t...
That is entirely satisfactory. The acknowledgement of the lack of acknowledgement pays for all, and you may take this as full permission to plagiarise...
I'm happy to claim "alarmist", as I am being battered by another storm, and the first official 'red warning' for a long time. If you look at a few eco...
A classic usurper's trope; I am entitled to exploit you because I am naturally superior. Even if it were true, which it isn't, the argument does not w...
Gilbert and Sullivan, Iolanthe. How the mind loves to classify, and no mind more so than the philosopher's! And if something, or someone does not fit ...
? Ursula K. Le Guin, The Left Hand of Darkness. The left hand of Taoism is Confucianism. Confucianism is conservative, traditional, hierarchical, rule...
I have been banging on for ages about sea level rise as a major factor that will affect us, and in the first video, Father Christmas on his day off ex...
Amen to that, and it's probably not worth arguing the exact definition of our insults as if there is a precise and important distinction between far-r...
I don't think it is actually. Not that I know anything about them but a violent criminal gang that uses Heil Hitler, passes my test with flying colour...
People have been saying silly things and getting predictions wrong for as long as they have been talking. But to do it deliberately, as you do, is for...
That makes no sense. But what makes some sense is the connection drawn between ex nazis in various organisations that Musk has associated himself with...
