I am glad you agree the IPCC should not be taken too seriously. So why do we argue?

That period lasted for hundreds of years, so for an extremely long time, muslim morality was simply transmitted orally... something you claimed is imp...

You sound very confused here. By definition, atheism is simply a disbelief in good. It does not "reject" any ethical system, it simply does not addres...
February 16, 2020 at 17:20
Apparently you have not heard of Sam Harris, who spends a lot of his time addressing precisely this issue. Check out his work and come back before pos...
February 16, 2020 at 17:02
That is a non sequitur. The disbelief in a god does not mean there is no need for ethics. In fact, an ethical code is necessary for any society. Also,...
February 16, 2020 at 16:59
Since atheism is not a belief system in itself, just the absence of one, it is absurd to ask for atheist rules. However, if you are talking about ethi...

No, in an illiterate society, information is passed on orally. Which actually was the case for islam, where the Koran was passed on orally for 200 yea...
February 16, 2020 at 16:34
Constitutions are written by people, so yes we are back to a definition based on society. As opposed to morality based on religion, which supposedly c...
February 16, 2020 at 16:28
Which is of course impossible with a muslim population, as its doctrine puts Allah above the party and Shariah above Chinese law. That is not compatib...

Congratulation to Brexit. I hope we soon have an Itaxit, Spexit, Swexit, Fixit, and more. Let Merkel and Macaron enjoy their lovey dovey relationship ...

It is pretty awful in some respects, but I am curious if you can list the places that are better?
February 16, 2020 at 15:08
They did the same with this genius Trump persecutor, what is here name, Maxima Waters? Totally hilarious, she is practically having an orgams on heari...

Even if he suddenly believes that that all the corrupt swamp creatures who are out to get him are Gods children, I don´t see how that changes the situ...

That would depend on the book. In the event, she writes about her experience inside the IPCC, which speak for themselves. And she is not the only one....
February 16, 2020 at 14:55
Confusing morality and ethics? Morality is based on scriptures, while ethics is a code for good and bad behaviour agreed on by society. At least that ...

There is always an "economic downturn coming" since by its nature a money economy overexpands and then contracts and resets. In particular, the curren...
February 16, 2020 at 13:57
What is there to bet about? The climate has always been changing and will always change. In fact, I have not yet met any real-life person who claims t...
February 16, 2020 at 07:30
Read the book by Donna Laframboise who actually worked there and saw how these "reports" are compiled. It is an eye-opener. The IPCC is funded by poli...
February 16, 2020 at 07:27
Thats funny. But as Scott Adams points out, there is a large part of the population that is simply unable to understand a joke.
February 16, 2020 at 06:34
Wikipedia has a well-known bias, shown here.You might want to look Wikipedia to form an opinion.
February 16, 2020 at 06:16
IPCC is a political orginization with a political purpose. You might want to read one of the exposees about it.
February 16, 2020 at 06:14
I do listen to experts. The experts have varying and nuanced opinions, as is to be expected. What I do NOT do is take opinion articles from the propag...

TDS is an amazing condition.
February 15, 2020 at 21:20
Agree. As Scott Adams (check him out if you don´t know him) says: Two movies on the same screen.
February 15, 2020 at 17:39
Lets agree to disagree. When I talk about "globalism" I refer to the set of ideas that by and large the Western elites have bought into, and that are ...
February 15, 2020 at 17:37
Thanks for writing without TDS hysteria and name-calling. That is refreshing. Patrick Moore is not a CLIMATE scientist. This study provides the basis ...
February 15, 2020 at 17:26
Thanks for writing without TDS hysteria. The problem here is that 1) and 3) are incompatible. I strongly disagree. In fact, globalist ideology is the ...
February 15, 2020 at 15:16
Thanks for writing without hysteria and name-calling! Correction: they have been inaccurate, to varying degrees. The point is that this doesn't imply ...
February 15, 2020 at 14:46
No. How am I to know if a model projecting out into the future is accurate until I get to the future? That’s silly. All the previous models have been ...
February 15, 2020 at 13:58
Also, methane. LOL, yeah. Read the UN report on cow farts. When did that drop off the radar? We don’t need proven models to predict climate change. So...
February 15, 2020 at 10:00
Who are "they"? And what exactly do they "agree" on? That CO2 is a greenhouse gas? I strongly suspect that the number who agree is closer to 100%. Tha...
February 15, 2020 at 09:47
I am not a climate scientist, so what business do you have to "explain" climate scientists to others? It is clearly a massively complex subject. but l...
February 15, 2020 at 09:35
You are a climate scientist?
February 15, 2020 at 09:25
Green peace has no sway with anyone I know. Oh, now you are a climate change denier? Because Greenpeace bought heavily into the political "man made cl...
February 15, 2020 at 09:20
I thought it was possible to communicate with you, after you asked a reasonable question. But now we are descending into the heated exchange of CNN ta...
February 15, 2020 at 09:10
Consensus on what? This "97% of scientists agree" talking point is bandied about a lot, but we are never told what exactly they agree on. And by the w...

February 15, 2020 at 08:58
Trump literally calls climate change a hoax. Do you have source for that? In that case, I would disagree with him. In the event, I strongly suspect he...

Now you’re getting defensive. Sorry, just been through this routine too many times, online and in real life. I’m trying to figure out which policies o...
February 15, 2020 at 08:42
So yeah, I'm not buying it you're not American, especially since the first thing you watch in the morning is CNN. CNN comes with the cable subscriptio...
February 15, 2020 at 08:29
I will stop the namecalling if you stop as well. Your first post was a swipe at most posters here for having TDS. That's insulting in itself so you ge...
February 15, 2020 at 08:27
So now, after asking a reasonable question, you veering off into propaganda talking point. Disappointing, but alas no surprise. I don´t want to get bo...
February 15, 2020 at 08:24

February 15, 2020 at 08:07
What do you like about Trump? Thanks for a reasonable question instead of a TDS rant. So rare these days! What do I like about Trump? I agree with his...
February 15, 2020 at 08:05
What do you prefer? 4chan? 8chan? I don´t know "4chan" and "8chan". Are they mainstream media? Do you watch them? Fwiw, I look at a variety sources, s...
