  Bret Weinstein: Evergreen State College Racism Controversy

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. current

  great discussion, well worth watching.

  covers racism, the bubble that some people live in vs the reality that resulted in trumps election and more (and jws get a mention too).. the rubin report (and many of the guests he has on) repeatedly knock it out of the park with sensible, calm and important analysis and commentary on important issues to our society.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-feapcgxnyy.

  "I think the bigger problem is the entitlement these college students are displaying." - just fine

  I think you are right. They need a dose of the real world so they can get their priorities in order. What is often clear with these incidents on University campuses is that the student leaders are the sorts of people who have had a very sheltered upbringing and their cohorts on the faculty have always been in education.

  Having said that, has it ever been different?

  "The problem is there is no real consensus on global warming." - Anony Mous

  Define consensus. I hear this a lot and it is generally from people who think science is decided by consensus.
  

  "The pro-GW people pull out data from the last 1000 years which indeed shows a significant trend upwards. The anti-GW people pull out data from the last 2M years which shows that this is just a cycle." - Anony Mous

  It is the rate of increase that is a problem, not so much the fact of temperature rise. By analysing our atmosphere we can work out where the carbon has come from and prove that the carbon is coming from us burning fossil fuels. By analysing the composition of the atmosphere over periods of thousands of years we can work out what was happening many years in the past and contrast that with today. Long story short, the evidence is there that this is an unnaturally fast rate of increase and the reason is the release of carbon from the geosphere (carbon that was taken into the rocks over millions of years is being released far faster than it can be put back in).

  "The fact is that earth has been warmer and is currently still recovering from a very recent ice age (we're still at -3 degrees from the time humans initially came on the scene)." - Anony Mous

  It's the rate of increase that is the danger... Our ecosystems have adapted to our current climate conditions over hundreds of thousands of years. If you change those conditions in a few decades then the biosphere cannot adapt quickly enough and we face mass extinctions. It is the rate of change that is the danger. It is the rate of change that is now troubling our world. It is the one thing that Conspiracy theorists never mention...

  "The emotional reaction from the "NeverTrumpers" is just ridiculous." - nonjwspouse

  Trump has stated his belief that global warming is not caused by human activities despite all the evidence showing he is wrong. This is the leader of America making a statement that flat out contradicts all the evidence of the world's scientists from many avenues of research. Instead of setting an example to follow he has caused the whole world to stop and say WTF... I was willing to give the guy a chance when he came to office (I live in the UK btw) despite all the negative press he was given. However, since then, his own actions have spoken volumes and demonstrated that those opposed to him from the start were right. Evidence based opinions of someone are far removed from emotional kneejerk reactions...

  If by bad deal you mean it would cost your country then yes it was bad for you. But then what is the price of a future for our children's children? This is a serious issue and the time for action is very quickly running out. You say it would not do the positive things that I stated but what is not positive about investing in less damaging energy production?

  Also, it is about time people realised that we are now living in a global economy. No longer is it acceptable to pool all the world's wealth in a few countries. Name calling people 'Globalists' and using abbreviations like NWO demonstrate nothing other than a signal lack of understanding about this worlds economical evolution.

  This Weekend's Watchtower Study "What You Vow, Pay" from April issue

  by BluesBrother in

  1. watchtower
  2. bible

  just some random thoughts here... theme scripture is matt.5: 33 .

  we already had a thread explaining that jesus added a "but" after those words.

  however, few would argue against the principle of keeping one's word.

  "including those bisexual people that will do either or both sexes" - WTWizard

  The above made me laugh... I agree with everything you said and think the influence of the Bible will soon wane to the level that the Greek Mythologies have over us.

  "I am glad you admit it!" - hothabanero

  It's not a secret. It's written in the accord. There is no conspiracy and you are not privy to knowledge that is trying to be suppressed.
  

  "The money is much better spend on US soil, for US jobs, to make the US wealthier and GREENER (something this stupid Obama deal would NOT do)." - hothabanero

  You miss the point (which is the point of this accord) that it is the developing world that needs to be greener because if it continues the way it is going (i.e. the way the West developed) climate change will destroy your country regardless of what insular policies you implement with the money you saved from removing yourselves from this accord. Developing countries cannot afford such luxuries like cleaner, sustainable energy production so, again, keeping the money in America and making such things will not make you richer (why would they take massive loans from you to buy from you when they can just burn coal in a dirty fashion [there are more ways than one to burn coal jookbeard...] for a fraction of the cost) or greener. Climate affects the entire world...

  So which of these options would you prefer:
  

  1 - Invest in these countries to save our world (and maybe encourage its citizens to stay at home).
  

  2 - Allow these countries to advance their industry and economy as we did in previous centuries.
  

  3 - Prevent these countries from advancing and keep them in the 3 world (plus I guess keep complaining about how their citizens want to move to our countries).

  "Climate change is just one of the many new faces of Communism. It has nothing to do with the environment and everything with the redistribution of wealth." - truth_b_known

  What a simple minded observation! If only you understood why distribution of wealth (giving money) was important in this context you might not write such silly things on public forums...

  Trump is a moron, for many reasons and not just this idiocy.

  Yes the agreement was about transferring money from richer to poorer countries. Now why was that?

  The West has burnt enormous amounts of fossil fuels to get us to the point we are now economically. Third world countries would also have to also do that to get to where we already are. However with our help (money) they could invest in expensive alternatives to the simple dig and burn methods of energy productions. This is important because to get these countries to our levels of economy and industry would result in the ruination of the planet's climate.

  There are 3 choices here:

  1 - Invest in these countries to save our world (and maybe encourage its citizens to stay at home).

  2 - Allow these countries to advance their industry and economy as we did in previous centuries.

  3 - Prevent these countries from advancing and keep them in the 3 world (plus I guess keep complaining about how their citizens want to move to our countries).

  How do I quote on this site?

  by Nevuela in

  1. forum
  2. tech-support

  every time i've asked this in an existing thread, i've never gotten an answer, so forgive me for starting a new thread in order to ask again.

  i simply cannot figure out how to quote someone with the standard yellow box.

  i can copy/paste the quote, sure, but nothing i do makes it appear in a yellow box like everyone else.

  above is the link to this blog that is fuelled with so much hatred it's unreal.

  i commented on this bloggers posts, and told this bloggers how distasteful this bloggers posts are, i never expected it to go public, as this blogger will only post what he/she thinks os acceptable.. this blogger has asked me to show evidence of his/her hatred, only for this blogger to use the age old psychological trick of projecting onto the accusers.

  "It is comical that they think their word matters" - From that site's contact form.

  Such a disparaging and dismissive comment before you have even aired your views! It is quite clear that the author(s) of that site have no interest in honest debate about a subject that has to be debated. So therefore, what is the point of wasting valuable time with such a cretinous individual(s).
  

  It should also be quite clear that their site is full of copy and paste assertions rather than reasoned arguments based on given evidence.

  And finally, just look at the comments left by the apparent owner of that site. That should tell you the education level of the authors of that site.
