Among infants, most deaths in 2022 were due to perinatal and congenital conditions. Land transport accidents were the most common cause of death among children aged 1–14. Suicide was the leading cause of death among people aged 15–44. Chronic diseases caused most deaths among people aged 45 and over. Coronary heart disease was the leading cause of death for males aged 45 and over. Cancers (such as breast and lung) were the leading causes of death for females aged 45–74, and for those aged 75 and over it was dementia including Alzheimer’s. https://www.aihw.gov.au/reports/life-expectancy-deaths/deaths-in-australia/contents/summary There’s still a stigma around mental health issues and asking for help. Also lots of isolation and lack of connection.

Taking credit for things that you built on but were developed before you does not seem to be very christian. I notice that you conveniently left out the visionaries of the 50's-60's who help Elon Musk be successful today and also provided you with cheap battery powered modern tools.

He is a proven liar. He is a proven fraud. He is a proven thief who stole from his own foundation. He is an adulterer. He is a convicted felon. He is a six time bankrupt who stiffed his investors. His entire life is about enriching himself at others' expense. It says a lot about your professed Christian values that you support him. Did you ever read the Ten Commandments? The Sermon on the Mount? Because it sure seems like you have no clue what they are about. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,517 #759 October 15, 2024 I'll agree that Musk can be a visionary. I'll also agree that he can be a thoroughgoing asshole. One neither excuses nor explains the other.

No. I admire him because of what I said. He is a brilliant entrepreneur and visionary. Tesla, Starlink, SpaceX, Neuralink. This guy is going to have paralyzed individuals walk again. He just also happens to believe that the direction to facilitate his endeavors in the advancement of America and the human race is definitely NOT Kamala Harris.

It’s about furthering an agenda, an agenda that’s best for America. It’s got nothing to do with feelings or emotions or what you think of someone’s behavior.

A lot of the time people really overuse the word 'projection', but sometimes there is no other word to use. It doesn't even occur to you that a liberal could dislike a famous liberal, because your politics are so divisive, so defined by 'us vs them' that you would never dream of distancing yourself from a famous Republican no matter what they did. Well personally I think Jeff Bezos is a sociopathic parasite and easily as evil as Musk, if a slightly different kind of evil and I couldn't give a flying fuck what political team he claims to support. On that note; 32 minutes ago, jaybird18c said: Trump is an asshole. Musk probably is also. I don’t know. Who cares? People with a functional sense of morality care. He is an unrepentent criminal. He is a rapist. He is a conman. He is a thief, including a thief from veterans charities, and he is a thief and rampant profiteer from his office in Government. An office that belongs not to him, but to the people. And you want to reward him for that, because you want to feel like your team is winning. 37 minutes ago, jaybird18c said: It’s about furthering an agenda, an agenda that’s best for America. Everyone who worked closely with Trump in Government and isn't still part of his entourage says a 2nd Trump presidency would threaten the fabric of America's constitutional government. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs called him a fascist and a wannabe dictator. Why do you think that's good? 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He bans people who say things about him or his causes that he doesn't like, he sues people who report true things about him, while conning people like you into thinking he is pro free speech just because he opens the floodgates for anti-semites and neo-nazis to say whatever they want against their chosen targets with no repercussions.
