Around the dam site, and on some fish. But compared to the environmental impact of oil production, it’s small indeed.

Three Places Changing Quickly to Fight Climate Change Often said that these smaller countries can’t compare to a leading polluter like the US. But it ...

Absolutely.
April 21, 2024 at 22:24
Israel is ethnically cleansing the area, but doing so “carefully.” And with much better propaganda. Congratulations! So calling it genocide is just ri...
April 20, 2024 at 21:15
What’s even more telling is getting to know a poster by their repeated display of ignorance and genocide apologia. A little more disgusting than an em...

Dan Dennett. Sad to see him go. Fellow resident of my hometown, I remember he signed every book of his that the library had, with a little note saying...

Yeah, yeah…shouldn’t you be justifying genocide or something?
April 19, 2024 at 22:47
Like the kind I see on this thread? Yeah, very much.

— some say Kurt Vonnegut, but I’m not sure.
April 19, 2024 at 18:18
I’m not concerned with right-wing propaganda, nor with those who believe it.
April 19, 2024 at 18:13
How nice it is to see genocide apologists get so worked about anti-genocide protests across the US. College kids, young people generally, the protest ...

He’s been a staunch critic of Israel…and Brazil (especially under Bolsonaro but even beforehand with the treatment of Lula— in fact visited Lula while...
April 19, 2024 at 13:09
Yeah, which is why declaring what others believe or think is stupid and embarrassingly funny. Eh, nevermind.
April 19, 2024 at 01:45
New study calculates climate change’s economic bite will hit about $38 trillion a year by 2049 Probably a huge underestimate, but hilarious that they ...

You are _____. You do ____. You believe ____. Always hilarious. :rofl:

:lol: :clap: Oh, well that closes the book on that one I guess.
April 18, 2024 at 22:07
Brilliant! How did I never know that? Problem solved! lol I won't click "ignore topics" though, because sometimes a person who you ignore can create a...

Once you resist a couple times it becomes habit, and much easier. The reason I ignore people is because they’re basically idiots with nothing interest...

Nice. Although I don’t love leg extension machines…
April 18, 2024 at 04:01
Yeah, maybe. But not by me, and certainly not by Chomsky (of which there’s 70 years of printed evidence).
April 17, 2024 at 22:34
No, it isn’t: Dissidents, almost by definition, criticize their country’s actions. We praise others for it, but they’re not treated well in their coun...

Injuries can definitely hamper progress.
April 16, 2024 at 01:25
Haven’t read it. Maybe they’re thinking of the freon guy.
April 16, 2024 at 01:17
What a stupid way of characterizing things. It’s like being in middle school. Embarrassing.
April 15, 2024 at 18:17
Nope. Not what was said. It’s very simple: criticize countries all you like. Iran citizens can criticize Israel, etc. But that’s not what we admire di...
April 15, 2024 at 18:14
Okay— sorry for the hostility. I feel it often leads people away from meditating rather than encourages them, that’s why I get annoyed. I’m sure that ...
April 15, 2024 at 16:37
You know very well why that is: the Israeli lobby and Israel’s strategic position in the Middle East. Who is saying that the US is “all powerful”? Why...
April 15, 2024 at 16:36
No it isn’t. No more a story than “being breathing,” which is just a hokey phrase. Just look at whatever you feel or think, try to sustain that awaren...

It’s just free market principles at play. :wink:
April 15, 2024 at 11:48
That’s not the idea I’m referring to. You really have no idea how the world works, in that case. Yeah, it’s nice to pretend to have special knowledge ...
April 15, 2024 at 10:39
I just realized Ethel Kennedy is still alive. How is that possible? Wow… RFK got killed in 1968 and they already had 11 kids.
April 15, 2024 at 02:51
Haha— never heard that one before. Made me chuckle a little, especially after just watching the Godfather.
April 15, 2024 at 02:45
Exactly.
April 14, 2024 at 20:39
:rofl: Yes yes, whatever you say. Now please continue using your “extensive” historical knowledge to justify genocide. :up:
April 14, 2024 at 16:44
:rofl: Wow! Good job! Keep the jokes comin’, please.
April 14, 2024 at 16:38
:rofl:
April 14, 2024 at 16:32
:grin: Okay buddy.
April 14, 2024 at 16:24
:lol: Touché.
April 14, 2024 at 15:32
Is this a joke or are you really just incapable of understanding the fairly simple idea?
April 14, 2024 at 15:30
Thanks for the reference. Very interesting.
April 14, 2024 at 12:22
Nothing wrong with supporting people against aggression. The question is: why these people and not others?
April 14, 2024 at 12:16
That is the point: without US support, Ukraine, Korea, Vietnam, the Iraqi government, Israel, etc., wouldn’t have lasted too long. US support is cruci...
April 14, 2024 at 12:09
I didn’t say “Just” meaning ONLY. That’s the big picture. On the ground, it seems much different— it’s Ukrainians fighting for their country against a...
April 14, 2024 at 11:36
So Ukraine should be doing just fine without American weaponry. Even discounting training and the fact that NATO is essentially run by the US. Come on...
