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 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...

Mea culpa.

Good point, well made.

You guys are still not convinced climate change is an existential threat? Well I guess we'll find out the hard way if there are limits or not.

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...

Here's a little education, to tame some of those strong emotions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iK5dpPzjaPA

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...

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...

No.

And that's why most of us will die an early death.

Why do oligarchs all have big yachts? To get away from the angry mob.

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...
February 02, 2025 at 10:45
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...

Yeah but horses hardly kill any birds - they're a win win solution.

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...

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...

Your honesty is admirable. But unimportant. Your estimation of my responses likewise.

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...
