i'm really curious what it was like to be a witness in the 60's and 70's?.
was the society as strict as it is today?.
Rebel8,
We were told constantly from the platform that disco was created by tribes as a demonized fertility ritual that promoted homosexuality. (Don't ask me how a fertility ritual promotes homosexuality. I have no clue!)
Maybe they were all bisexual?

Disco, by the way, was completely vilified. Disco was not allowed in any way--you could not even see movies if they had disco soundtracks!
Ah the memories! I remember a sister who had to go hunt down her 15 year old kid sister ('fleshly' sister) who was in a discotheque.
Yes, the memories of John Travolta "staying alive" in Saturday Night Fever.
uc berkeley administrators canceled a scheduled speech by right-wing pundit ann coulter, saying they can’t protect participants from rioting if it goes ahead.

now i am no ann coulter fan (although the sjw police on here will accuse me of being a fan shortly after posting this), but i am a fan of free speech!
So let me guess, you got your information from Alex Jones??
No, he got it from the green reptilians that were running a child sex ring in the basement of pizzeria Comet Ping Pong.
battery technology has been making leaps and bounds in affordability and energy output throughout the past decade.
while pure electric cars currently have limited range, the near future holds prospects for longer ranges.
hybrids, and recently plug in hybrids, have a mileage of up to 50 mpg* giving them a range of 500 miles from a ten gallon gas tank.

FedUpJW,
Have I missed the promotional materials touting the benefits of electric vehicles that can pull 32' fully loaded private gooseneck trailers at reasonable highways speeds over a 2,000 mile trip? Or the OTR long haul semis?
Tesla CEO Elon Musk revealed today, on the eve of the New York International Auto Show that the company plans to unveil its all-electric semi truck, called ‘Tesla Semi’, in September.

@ Bungi Bill & Simon: I live in LA where mass transportation is a joke. Some progress is being made with subways but there is the danger of earthquakes.

Hoser,
I'm not sure where everyone is coming from here but travelling 1000 km in one trip happens on a regular basis in my life and many others who live in remote northern communities.
As I mentioned, Priuses (Hybrid, not electric) can get 50mpg multiplied by a 10 gallon gasoline tank. If that is not enough for you between gas stations then what do you do when you make such long trips? I never heard of a regular car having a 600 mile (1,000 km) range. Don't you stop at gas stations in mid-trip to fuel up?

Hoser,
I have issues with the current range of electric vehicles. When they can travel up to a thousand km on one charge in 40 below zero temperatures I might consider one.
Traveling up 1,000 kilometers (620 miles) is not necessary for any vehicle. My Ford only has a 220 mile range and many cars get about 400 if they get 25 mpg. A Toyota Prius has a 500 mile range.
As for temperatures, there is solid state battery technology (In the first stages of research) that can currently operate in minus 20 Celsius degree (-4 degrees Fahrenheit). With all the leaps and bounds that battery technology is going through it's simply a matter of time. Say 5 years?

Ucantnome,
I believe there was a change to a shorter study period before baptism.
Study period for baptism in my day was six months. How long is it nowadays?

It's the entire life. Batteries are not environmentally or energy free.Batteries are not environmentally or energy free.
I don't have the figures but the manufacture of batteries shouldn't take up more energy than the manufacture of a conventional engine. Also, some current (No pun intended) battery technology - still in the works - are environmentally safe.
