  2 + 2 = 5?! lol

  interesting video from carl benjamin.. apparently, some philosopher is arguing that 2 + 2 doesn't always = 4; sometimes it equals 5.. this is madness, utter madness.

  i'm a scientist; objective reality does exist.

  the existence of gravity isn't up for debate.

  This is madness, utter madness. I'm a scientist; objective reality does exist. The existence of gravity isn't up for debate. If you disagree, go and jump off Beachy Head.

  Two plus two never equals five; two plus two can only equal four.

  The number two isn't a variable - it's a constant. Two is always one plus one, no more no less.

  Postmodernism is a mind virus which erodes people's ability to think and reason. It should always be exposed for the trash it is.

  thankfully my best friend who got this terrible malady is doing well after being in the hospital for more than two months!

  i see some people who are still petrified over this virus.

  they are still virtual prisoners in their own homes.

  No, I'm not afraid of contracting covid. I wash my hands frequently and wear a washable face mask in supermarkets.

  Here in the UK, lockdown has f**ked the economy.

  We need to get children back to school next month, and sack any teachers who refuse to do their job.

  NHS staff have been brilliant throughout the crisis. However, they don't deserve a pay rise because of the huge losses of hours and jobs in the private sector (NHS staff work in the public sector).

  Life is never risk-free. We don't ban cars and buses because some people die in road accidents.

  We must get back to some kind of normality.

  Using gods name

  i've never thought about it before, but isn't it some sort of blasphemy and extremism to use a god's name in the official name of your religion?.

  I'm not sure it's blasphemy.

  Extremism? - yeah, maybe.

  JWs always shove God's name down people's throats, and they're extremist in some ways.

  Isn’t unemployment and lack of money a huge factor? - unfortunately, I'm unemployed and don't have much money.

  Can I smash shop windows and loot stuff?

  Here's a good little video ...

  Generally speaking, a shark has one of three forms

  Lamnid - these sharks have conical-shape noses, tails with equal-sized lobes, and heavy bodies. They swim with a distinctive stiff manner. Their body temperature is higher than the surrounding water, making these animals efficient swimmers in cooler waters. The Great White Shark (Carcharodon carcharias) is a typical example.

  Carcharhinid - these sharks have blunt, flat noses and tails with a longer upper tail fin. This long upper tail fin drives the head downward, whilst the broad, flat nose acts like an aquaplane, keeping the head up and allowing the shark to swim through the water. These sharks often have flexible bodies and can twist and turn to chase prey. The Tiger Shark (Galeocerdo cuvier) is a good example.

  And Benthic (bottom-dwelling types) - these forms are typically sluggish in comparison to the above types. These species often have the ability to pump water over their gills, allowing them to rest on the bottom and breathe. The Great White cannot do this - it must keep swimming in order to breathe. The Port Jackson Shark (Heterodontus portusjacksoni) is a good example of a bottom-dwelling species.

  Jaws is a great movie.

  I never tire of watching it.

  I'm still surprised it had a PG-13 certificate in theatres and is rated 12 here in the UK (viewers must be aged 12 or older to legally view the movie).

  The following scene, featuring the shark attacking and devouring Quint, is horrific (and well done).

  In my opinion, Jaws should be an R-rated movie.

  What feminists have said rape by immigrants is a necessary cost?! - in Germany a few years back, there were mass sexual assaults by immigrant gangs on ethnically-German women in towns and cities across Germany.

  From what I remember, German feminists and other progressives tried to silence news of sexual assaults as they were coming through.

  I can't remember everything about these incidences (it was a few years ago) but they are worth revisiting.

  You get to see white western feminists' attitudes to immigrant brown men sexually assaulting white German women.

  Then there was this video produced by Finnish authorities after a spate of sexual assaults by immigrants on Finnish women ...

  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF5wNF-DgLM
  

  Have Finnish people always responded to a rape crisis by music & dance? Lol

  WE ARE ALL AFRICAN! - er, not sure about this.

  Homo sapiens evolved in Africa, so my ancestors were African, if you go back tens of thousands of years.

  But, different races of humans have evolved since then, largely in isolation.

  I'm European. I live in England, a northern European country and natural home for people like me. Northern Europeans evolved in Europe.

  Chinese people evolved in Asia.
  

  Sub-Saharan Africans evolved in sub-Saharan Africa.

  Some whites live in Australia, America and Africa because of European technology - ocean-going ships, etc.

  Some black people live in the Caribbean and North America, also due to European technology - ocean-going ships, etc. It's not nice to say but David Starkey was correct: if it wasn't for slavery, there'd be no blacks in the Americas.

  The races do differ in some aspects, e.g. Chinese people cannot digest milk because as adults, they don't produce the enzyme lactase. Other people - whites, blacks, Arabs, Jews - can and do drink milk.

  It's not being intellectually honest to insist everyone alive to day are Africans.

  What Fun Things Have You Been Doing While In Lock-Down?

  by Simon in

  2. friends

  so we've all been locked down and there's only so much netflix / prime / disney / hbo you can watch and computer games you can play.

  what has everyone been doing to pass the time?.

  when you're completely stuck inside and working from home it can get a bit boring staring at the same walls all day and then in the evening as well.

  I don't have internet access at home so when the public libraries closed I had to stop social media, FB, this forum, etc.

  I did manage to save up enough money to buy myself a DVD player, so I've spent a lot of lockdown watching my collection of movies. (I have 110 films and I've seen 70 so far!).

  I've also done some reading - I've read Salem's Lot, The Firm, The Whistler, Gray Mountain.

  One thing I've managed to do is go out walking every day - whether that's sunbathing on a park bench or longer walking. I have to get out my flat, I'd have gone mad staying indoors all the time.
