USA #1! :cheerleader:
Leader of the Freee World! Champion of Human Rights!
Taking these real challenges into account, I wonder what anyone thinks of the 8 Billion people on this planet who might also want/expect to live as long as possible?
I'm sorry about your grandma, Fuzzy. :(
You said it made you re-think euthanasia, but it also makes me re-think longevity. There's something wrong with our society that values length of life at...
Hazir, I don't understand how you can call Nixon "one of our greatest presidents" when he turned out to be a conniving criminal. You sound more like Roger Stone, who spent years grifting the GOP with...
Libya's near apocalyptic flood takes the debate to an international level....
Spoiler Alert: Capitalism can't fix this
Lots of strikes in the US lately. Even tho the % of Union membership has dwindled over the decades, strikes or walk-outs still have an impact for *all* workers.
Do you think this still works as a...
Please, please, could everyone here just stop posting links to Twitter or X?! Thanks :donkey:
It was surprisingly good! But such an elaborate "prank" left me feeling bad for the guy. Using schadenfreude for entertainment isn't such a good thing, really.
It's fun to watch a Dutch and a Swede debate the state of American politics Two guys walk into a bar.....
But you know it's bad when even Republicans hate their own party, yet think it can still...
The Supreme court is Supreme, because he says so? :haha: Well, he's wrong. The SC has no enforcement powers but Congress does, and can enact all sorts of laws that would "regulate" the court....like...
Interesting read. I don't really understand what Hazir is going on about, but it sounds like prosecuting crimes can backfire if there are too many, and that leaves an opening to claim it's all...
Some people still wear masks in public spaces/crowds, mostly they're elderly who look rather frail, so it's probably not a bad idea.
There was an uptick of masks any time we had an Air Quality Index...
Our planet had its highest recorded average temp in history, but there are still climate deniers making public policy. Like Gov. Abbott of Texas rescinding a law mandating water breaks for outdoor...
And many are making billions of dollars in the process of being wrong? Yay for Capitalism?
If "going after him" (Trump) for "real crimes" doesn't include misuse of classified documents, let alone a conspiracy in an attempted coup, then what does? Your concern about his followers paying for...
Lower than the survival rate of white newborns. I can't wait to see your explanation for this.
Then you agree that SCOTUS decisions are political?
Or maybe attorney Ted Frank didn't do his homework before writing an op-ed for WSJ. :donkey:
Data shows that the disparity in health outcomes for black premies (plus black maternal mortality) can...
On the other hand, should religious speech have 'more' rights than others? Is the Faith and Freedom Coalition a tax exempt non-profit because it has 'faith' in its name, even tho it's clearly...
Meanwhile, some 600+ refugees drowned off the coast of Greece on their way to Italy when their overloaded ship capsized, and a $140 million mega yacht owned by a Spanish silver magnate rescued about...
Hazir, you may be right that our Republic is in trouble, but it's not because of this indictment or the DoJ appearing to prosecute for political purposes. Trump was bending/breaking the law for...
"Finally, we get the thorny issue of religion. I think about that Christian couple at the anti-abortion rally a lot. Because there's a decent chance that someone they did adopt might not come from...
Malthus vs Sen?
Limitless growth looks very different with a warming planet and scarcity of resources, but capitalists still push it to the forefront of economics and politics. And religious...
My first reaction was, "It's about damn time!" and Jack Smith deserves a medal! :up:
But before the indictment was even unsealed or read, McCarthy and most Republicans falsely framed it as Biden...
Hang on, I thought all these computer algorithms (including AI) was supposed to make our lives better and easier. Or was that just a narrative we bought into, that turned out to be false marketing,...
