  1. I used to make the drive from Tulsa to Albuquerque quite often to see the parents. The site of the windmills didn't bother me at all, I saw it as a sign of progress. Meanwhile, in upside down land we have former PM Tony Abbott calling them "the dark satanic mills of the modern era" https://www.smh.com.au/politics/federal/abbott-calls-wind-turbines-the-dark-satanic-mills-of-the-modern-era-20190719-p528sf.html
  2. What type of info is there? Got denied due to being in Australia, then denied again using a VPN.
  3. Wants verification of claims, faith is strained....sounds like you're on the road to becoming an agnostic/atheist
  4. Mental gymnastics that could only come from Christian apologetics
  5. And ban abortion...and take away birth control. Which party is going that again?
  6. "Who thought it was a good idea to create a platform where all the village idiots could communicate with one another" --Abraham Lincoln
  7. Trump and co. are scumbags, and if they ever go down I will immensely enjoy the show. But having 800 formal prosecutors sign a letter is reminiscent of when a 1000 architects signed a letter stating that 9/11 had to be an inside job. Useless showmanship
  8. For anyone who has a couple hours to spare, a debate on whether the Catholic church is a force for good in the world.
  9. Given that the U.S. is continuously losing ground in how it's perceived by the world it is absolutely a logic conclusion. https://www.gallup.com/analytics/247040/rating-world-leaders-2019.aspx And an opinion piece on that poll... https://www.mintpressnews.com/gallup-poll-us-global-image-plunges-americans-believe-opposite/255846/
  10. Yes. https://earthsky.org/earth/space-based-solar-energy-power-getting-closer-to-reality
  11. Mueller submitted his report. My hopes are it's conclusive and transparent. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-03-23/mueller-submits-report-on-donald-trump-russia-investigation/10932596
  12. Australian PM and current leader of the Liberal party (the Australian equivalent of the Republican party) disagrees. "Australians should be alert after ‘violent, right-wing terrorist’:" https://thewest.com.au/news/world/australians-should-be-alert-after-violent-right-wing-terrorist-pm-scott-morrison-ng-b881137338z
  13. And they most likely will, probably copying what the Australians did. As they should
  14. That's right up there with anti-vaxxer and flat-earth tactics. "Do your own research" almost always means you can't back up your own arguments
  15. "The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it's called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine—religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you'll throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase. It doesn't matter; try it in Bangladesh, try it in Bolivia, it works—works all the time. Name me one religion that stands for that, or ever has" -- Christopher Hitchens While he was referencing poverty it could also be applied to population control
  16. And news from Australia.... https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2019/jan/16/australia-weather-record-breaking-heatwave-enters-third-day-as-temperatures-soar “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  17. Is there any limit on how many times a senator can ask this? The democrats should be doing this everyday. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  18. "Truth isn't truth" “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  19. It's not just him. A couple people I know that are Trump supporters are saying the same thing. Must get their news from the same place. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  20. What's the point of his testimony? Seems like dog and pony show theatrics to me. If I was Pelosi I would leave the investigative stuff to Mueller and focus on passing legislation that the people want. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  21. That's some christian love for ya. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  22. TPP-11 now in effect, to the detriment of U.S. farmers. https://www.sbs.com.au/news/us-farmers-helpless-as-tpp-boosts-aust "Japan is generally a market where we seek to maintain our strong 53 per cent market share, but today we face an imminent collapse," US Wheat Associates President Vince Peterson told a public hearing held by the US Trade Representative earlier this month. "Frankly, this is because of provisions negotiated by (former US president Barack Obama's administration) for our benefit under the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "Our competitors in Australia and Canada will now benefit from those provisions, as US farmers watch helplessly." “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  23. What is it with republicans and women? It's almost as if this hatred is taught since birth. Oh wait..it is. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 "11 A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. 12 I do not permit a woman to teach or to assume authority over a man; she must be quiet. 13 For Adam was formed first, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not the one deceived; it was the woman who was deceived and became a sinner. 15 But women will be saved through childbearing—if they continue in faith, love and holiness with propriety" “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
  24. The grandma was before y-mod on the sigma harness. While I'll agree with you in regards to this particular video not giving us anything new to learn, it's the culture of cover-up that's the problem. The FAA was livid when they found out about grandma after the fact.. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.”
