  Why Is Nothing Being Done About Looters?

  by minimus in

  2. friends

  looting is happening everywhere like never before.

  brazen thieves walk into stores and bring a bag with them and simply throw whatever they choose in the bag.

  popular chain stores have closed in certain neighborhoods because it’s just not worth it.

  Anony Mous said,

  ''I already quoted you statistics that show violent crime per capita being 4-5 times worse in the UK (1.6%) compared to the US (0.3%).''

  I missed that quote sorry. Could you repost the reference for this statistic. Thanks.

  The Evidence of Human Evolution keeps getting stronger and stronger

  by Disillusioned JW in

  despite the wt's and young earth creationists' teachings against human evolution (namely macroevolution from non-humans) being a reality, the evidence of human evolution keeps getting stronger and stronger.. consider for example two science news articles and one other science article, each pertaining to the fossil that is nicknamed "little foot".

  below are links to three science articles, listed in order of the articles from oldest to newest (except i don't see a date for one of the articles).

  Silent buddha asked

  ''Where is cofty? I don't believe he isn't in this thread somewhere.''

  Yes, a great pity really. But if you look at his last post, he said,

  ''I stopped posting after reading that post too.

  I will continue to check in to catch the latest news from the insane world of the Watchtower.

  I have mostly enjoyed years of conversation and debate here, as anyone can see from my history. I hope some of my threads on WT doctrine and science have helped some.

  I can't no longer be part of the irrational and hateful environment that has come to dominate this forum.''

  I think this was referring to Simon's ( the forum owner) posting inferring that people with 'left ' wing views were paedophiles.

  Simon said, ''Biden is a sick idiot. Is there anyone on the left who doesn't want to fuck children in one way or another?

  Throw a brick at an Antifa mob and it's pretty guaranteed you'll hit a pedophile''

  Pity really.

  What Is Truth?

  by minimus in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  just because you believe something as truth, it doesn’t make it truth.

  religious leaders may be admired and believed but they could be dead wrong.

  politicians can spout out “facts” that support their truth yet once further evidence comes through these facts are questionable.

  actors' acceptance speeches have often been a little dodgy - viewers don't care what political or social views actors may have, we typically appreciate actors acting well.. this year's oscars awards ceremony seems to be going above and beyond, however.. here's frances mcdormand's acceptance speech, in which she dedicates her victory to 'our wolf' and then howls like a bitch, lol.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-_be0awgwk.

  kramer,

  Are people in this forum really ok with this sort of tone ? 2021 and calling people ‘blacks’ and complaining about people of colour being on screen?
  

  Yes, lots are.

  Otherwise the poster currently known as 'mickbobcat' would be banned again. He used to go by the name of 'Phoenix Rising' and before that 'TobyJones262'. Both times he was banned .

  It's easy to spot his reincarnations as he uses similar phrases and versions of spelling that gives him away, such as 'Hollyweird', 'Kahn' instead of 'Khan', and odd capitals , besides the barely concealed subject manner of course.

  I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that I think he likes guns and doesn't like black people.

  I think you have to put in a formal 'observation' to the 'moderators' or site owner.

  Just do a search on the posting history of the three names I gave and you'll see the similarities.

  To be fair to the moderators/owner it's a bit like 'whack a mole'.

  Stan Livedeath

  202,000 deaths out of a population of 1.366 billion

  is approximately 15 deaths for every 100,000 people

  And looking again,

  the deaths from tuberculosis at 220,000 out of a population of 1.366 billion

  is approximately 16 deaths for every 100,000 people. Nearly on a par.

  Hence my confusion with Anony Mous's figures.

  Anony Mous,

  You said that Covid in India kills less than 7 out of 100,000. Do you have a link/source for that?

  Looking at https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/map.html
  

  gives a figure of approx 202,000 deaths from Covid in India which according to my calculations is nearly 15 out of 100,000, which is getting close to the TB figure of 19 per 100,000.

  You said that Tuberculosis kills 190 out of every 100,000 in India. Have you got a link/source for that? Did you mean 19 out of 100,000? Or did you mean 190 out of 100,000 have TB?

  I'm not that good at maths but I think it would mean that out of a population of 1.366 billion Indians that nearly 2.6 million would die from TB. According to Wikipedia it's 220,000 per year.

  Anony Mous,

  Very interesting fiqures quoted.

  Once again you've confused me though.

  You said,

  ''200 children under 5 die daily from lack of proper sanitation in India.'' Have you got a link /source for that? Did you mean 2,000?

  200 children times 365 days is 73,000.

  ''Sure they may be seeing a bit of a surge but twice the number of kids died yesterday from sanitation problems than any age group died of COVID.''

  DW.com article says, ''India has been logging global daily records of over 300,000 cases for the last five days. The country saw 352,991 daily new infections and 2,812 COVID-related deaths in the past 24 hours.

  Altogether, 195,123 people have died while 17.3 million people have been infected with the virus in India.

  These numbers are staggering, but experts and epidemiological modelers believe that the real number of COVID fatalities could be much higher than the deaths recorded by health departments nationwide. ''
