So yet another small-government libertarian type -- fine. Even worse than Republicans. Yes, because government is not the solution to our problems...g...
Yes, the fatalities and hospitalizations are overwhelming among the unvaccinated -- causing problems in hospitals, and allowing the virus to continue ...
Yeah, Qatar is by far the worst in the world per capita. Of the larger countries, Canada is worse than both the United States and Australia. All very ...
The lifestyle of the average US citizen is extremely wasteful. We waste and pollute more per capita than almost any country -- I can find the exact nu...
This is an excellent point and, now that you articulated it, I realize this is definitely a big reason for my participation here. It helps me hone my ...
It sounds simple, yes. But as you know, it involves all kinds of issues. Finding the time in our busy lives -- especially working 40+ hours a week, ha...
Of course it is. Not only is it rational, it's also a complete necessity in life. You're confusing trust and faith, I think. There's very good reasons...
It is absolutely a rational choice, which is obvious in every aspect of our lives. Why? Because there is no possible way to become an expert in everyt...
This position is now obsolete. May have been valid 10 years ago -- not anymore. Things have changed. The Republicans have gone off the rails. As bad a...
So I assume you were against the 2017 tax cuts? I assume you're against the $7 trillion defense budget over the same period of time? Funny how talk of...
True, but think about the enthusiasm gap. The Trump crowd and Republican party was nearly unanimous in getting behind him. He had the entire media jug...
Oh how objective and fair you are. When people start speaking irrationally, ignoring evidence, and otherwise start talking like Alex Jones, there's no...
Here's an instance where I should just ignore a question that is basically incoherent, but I won't. (1) Being "money-minded" is not the same as being ...
So you say— but I see as much evidence to the contrary. Just look at families— your own even— is it true that “greed/selfishness” trumps care for them...
Adam Smith is the place to start. He warned a lot against most of what we consider capitalism today. It’s institutionalized greed, yes. It’s a system ...
The deadline for one vote is tomorrow— this week will be crucial. Between these bills and the debt ceiling, it’ll be interesting to see if the democra...
The article quoted (but not read by Dr. Science): “Your own research.” This means: Google something, find an article that you think supports your beli...
Yet every study you cite highly recommends everyone get vaccinated. I guess they’re both “hysterical” and not hysterical…normal anti-vaxxer consistenc...
So neoliberal capitalism. Yes. But I think probably capitalism more broadly as well— that is, state capitalism. So far as I know laissez-faire capital...
What a cowardly little putz. 6 billion shots given; proven to be safe. Chances of any serious side effects smaller than the chances of winning Powerba...
Frank would fit in much better on Twitter: short, usually irrelevant, and generally stupid posts. Imagine him, NOS, and the handful of clowns that com...
Potentially. Some of this is overlapping with global warming as well. Our destruction of the environment and exhausting of resources is leading to mas...
No, I think this is exactly the right line of questioning. To clarify: when I say climate change should be considered the issue of our time, I don’t m...
I would suspect it’s up there, yes. Perhaps nuclear weapons as well. I think among climate scientists it’s especially likely, given what they know. I ...
In explaining climate change, for people who are truly interested in learning about it, I always like to start with an easy experiment: you can take t...
What’s in the $3.5 trillion bill: Putting the U.S. on track to run on 80% clean electricity and to cut economy-wide carbon emissions in HALF by 2030 A...
Did not Mother Nature endow us with care and concern for others as well? Why is greed given primacy? Especially when you see generosity all around. So...
Yeah yeah yeah -- Fauci and the medical establishment aren't worth listening to, because you know more than they do. Why? Because you found an Israeli...
For those who are genuinely curious about natural immunity and vaccines: the jury is out. There's some evidence to suggest natural immunity works bett...
"Read the research" and then cites the Wall Street Journal opinion page -- one of the most conservative in the country. How predictable. I actually la...
Reading comprehension is not your strength. No kidding. You’ve either been mislead or were an anti-vaxxer already. I’ll go with the latter. (1) None o...
It may well be (I'm hopeful) that he's posturing, dragging this out as long as possible so the papers make it clear he's fighting the good fight, and ...
No one cares what this deranged imbecile has to say anymore. He was finished the moment they booted him from Twitter. If he runs again he'll lose agai...
And good for almost everyone in any other area of life, including vaccination. But because this is a "big deal," in the age of polarization and social...
My prediction is it'll be pared back to 1.7 or so. The minority party (Republicans) wins again, even when they're not in power. Although there's a pos...
Golda Meir may have been attractive in her younger years... Who knew that Thatcher was so cute back then. I guess as I get older, the range of women d...
