RSSSo when exactly did any of us, or our representatives, vote on the income tax? Because I certainly don’t remember consenting to it.
Or twelve years of public schooling.
Or the TSA.
Or the entire history of Civil Wrongs laws.
Hyperventilating about the actions of one set of corrupt public officials vs. another is a bit far down the list of non consent issues any of us should be concerned about.
You didn't, your great-grandfather did. When he elected his state legislator in one of the at least 38 states (only 36 were necessary) which in turn ratified the Sixteenth Amendment.

Interesting that you omitted the biggest disparity of all in obesity rates -- that between East-Asian-Americans and everyone else. In virtually every meaningful stat battle -- e.g., education and income level, crime rate, test scores, longevity -- they dominate. If it weren't for the fact that the men have such small penises and struggle to achieve even the tiniest semblance of cool, they would totally rule.Replies: @themann
Obesity Rates –
All Adults – 34.9%
Black – 47.8%
Latino – 42.5%
White – 32.6%
Fitness is a prerequisite for combat and even our active duty military personnel are in some degree to fat to fight. This might be mitigated by the fact that the next war will be dominated by mechanical\cybernetic\EMP type weapons. As a small example, knocking out the AC for an entire city during the summer months would likely severely reduce anyone’s ardor for fighting. But we will never fight another Civil War with mass infantry formations.
Maybe a more realistic goal would be to appeal to American’s inner sloth, perhaps a national tax strike with the idea of ending the income tax forever. Only the top 50% or so of earners pay much income tax, if they all took a couple of months off, no income, no tax, the Federal Government would be in extremis in short order. A lot less bloody too.
Anybody want to count the number of times that Authorial Asshat gratuitously insulted the South?

Most of you would just love taking Cisco IT Certification Exams- no going forward or back on questions, tight time limits on the tests. Really sucks when you get a question wrong, a later question jogs your memory, and you can’t go back to change a mistake. At least they are really specific in the material being tested.
Intelligence testing, in any case, doesn’t measure drive, energy, or determination (with the possible exception of the drive to prepare for the exams). Not to mention, for instance, massive Asian cheating on SATs, and I suspect a whole lot else. The tests are approaching garbage levels of reliability for a lot of other reasons too. At least on the aforementioned IT exams, you go into a little room, by yourself, no phones (etc.), AND a camera right over your shoulder. That could be the only way to administer exams in the future.
Let me begin by stating, I was in the US military, my father was career military, his father was career military, his Grandfather fought at Gettysburg…get the idea. ok so:
Military organizations do three things, and they do them in this order:
1. They loot.
2. They rape.
and
3. They kill.
Primarily civilians, over and over and over.
Duty, Honor, patriotism, Bullshit!
Let filth serve filth, and the judgement of God be served upon them.
I attended two ELP concerts in the 70’s. Their music was not only not awful, it was close to astounding. Yes, ultimately the attempt to fuse rock and roll to classical was doomed to failure, but we achieve nothing without trying.
This whole post seems strange to me. I don’t assign color to music. nobody listened to Motown because they were black, they listened because they were good. No one listened to Crimson King because they were white, they listened because they were revolutionary.
Music, and musical taste, are ultimately indefinable, and ultimately not transferable.
Make a Venn diagram.
Label the first circle “physically brave”
Label the second circle “physically cowardly”
Then start plotting Yankees and Southerners.
And that will show why Yankees hate us.
1. Fact or assumption: Americans are too fat to go to war.
2. Fact or assumption: This isn’t the ’60’s. Whole cities burning, massive increases in crime,
colleges shut down by “protesters”.
3. Fact or assumption: Tiny supply disruptions can have major, passably catastrophic, impact. A case study would be the atenolol shortage.
4. Fact or assumption: In general, ordinary Americans are becoming increasing aware of the Government\Media\Corporatist Circus of Lies, and no one is shoving the Truth
Genie back into the Bottle.
5.Fact or Assumption: The internet is a megaphone for amplifying crazy, and there is no engagement with crazy where you win.
I read it as :
1.probably
2. certain
3. certain
4. One would certainly hope so

That doesn’t add up to war, low level conflict, or much of anything else, really.
Now let us consider the one thing that does offer the prospect or real conflict:
Long term, the Federal Government cannot meet its financial obligations. It may get away with stiffing all the oldsters out of Social Security, because they can hardly go to war (although they do vote), but can it default on bonds, fail to make military payrolls, stop infrastructure spending, let the various States go bankrupt? What does it look like when your EBT gets refused, soldiers aren’t paid, and roads fall apart, all at the same time?
A rabble of Lefty Shit Stains are hardly the long term problem here. Government fall down go boom, that is the problem here.
Sounds to me like 33 Penn Law Faculty Members need to have parachutes strapped to their fat asses and shoved off the end of a low flying plane over Lagos or Mogadishu.
I categorically reject their claim to any further consideration.
You know there is an easy defense for this, right?

You hit the nail on the head with your argument, which I can condense down to two sentences:
Sleeping around is a bad idea for guys, and a catastrophic one for women.
So, if you do sleep around, take your chances, because morally speaking, you have no ground to stand on.
Very good! Concise, indeed.
Sleeping around is a bad idea for guys, and a catastrophic one for women.
Three things I learned in the Military:
1. The Federal government is pure evil.
2. Paperwork isn’t the solution to anything, it is the solution to nothing.
3. One Black ok, two Blacks maybe, ten Blacks, don’t turn your back on them…ever.

They decide to fire you over non work related behavior while at work, good bye and good riddance, and welcome to the real world where the rest of us live..

So what he is saying then is that we give every potential immigrant an IQ test and if they hit 130 or better, we let them in?

Gee, I always figured most people don’t like Jews very much because they are assholes. Looking for religious reasons is likely to be completely futile.
Occam’s Razor people. Seriously.
Well gee everybody, when you understand that women are amoral, irrational, and vicious, it becomes a lot easier to understand what is going on here.
Weinstein my be an out of control little creep, but he didn’t create the situation he found himself in, he merely exploited what was already there with a little more aggressive fury than most. Give him his props for committing fully to the wickedness of his opportunities, most bad people are much weaker than that.
There is no such thing as sexual morality where women are concerned, they simply seek status, approval, and power, and sex is the means to all those things. (As a mental exercise, figure out how much porn there is in America, how much of it involves hot women ages 18-36, and how many hot women there are in America ages 18-36. Seriously, that is the number of women willing to do porn for crying out loud.)
The casting couch doesn’t exist because some men are exploiters, it exist because women have the power to choose, and a lot of them choose to give it up to an appalling physical creep like Weinstein, for status (actress), approval(roles), power(fame). Seriously, he never got kicked in the balls? Once even? Nobody comes off looking good here, and if you want to make a case for burning Hollywood to the ground, I won’t argue against it.
Wow, did you ever hit that one on the head.
Three things I take away from this, intrinsic to American dishonesty:
1.) Weinstein’s Jewishness was both a shield and a weapon in all this, but he will never get called out on it.
2.) The sheer number of women falling back on the ” ’tis entirely innocent I am” defense. Because, clearly, none of them were prostituting themselves, and every single last one of them lacked the sense to not get alone in a room with a strange guy…..IN HOLLYWOOD.
3.) Every single last person in Hollywood knew what was going on, but how many of them, especially the Feminists, will ever be called out for enabling him?
Maybe all you legal types out there know better than me, but it seems:
1. Rape is a crime against Chastity. I doubt very many rapes have occurred in the USA in 30 years.
2. Assault is a Crime against the body. An easy case could be made for some number of assaults re Weinstein, but good luck prosecuting them with juries full of women.
3. Extortion is a crime where ‘provide me with benefit ‘A’, or bad thing ‘B’ will happen to you.
Now I think we are getting somewhere. If all the extorted women got together and filed criminally and civilly under the RICO act, a Hollywood mogul and 500 of his feminist enables could all be going to prison or seriously fined. And I would buy that for a dollar.
Zero % chance of a direct war with Iran.
1. Unknown, but significant number of Iranian submarines operating in the Persian Gulf, at least 3 of which are upgraded Kirov class boats more than capable of acquiring US carriers, etc. If even one boat got loose in the Med or Atlantic, consequences would be devastating.
2. Logistically impossible to make a major occupation of Iranian territory as per Iraq, plus Iran has at least 350, 000 trained and equipped troops.
3. Iranian resources with SS cruise missiles (or even subsonic ones) not entirely known, but certain to have enough ship killing capability to achieve deterrence.
4. Spare parts flowing back into the country have restored air power, this is at least 150+ quality strike aircraft. Consider what Argentina did with a handful of Aircraft and a few Exocets.
5. And this doesn’t assume major Russian or Chinese aid, which they would certainly get in event of a major conflict.
6. Hezbollah would go nuts, the rest of the middle East would have an even more unpredictable than usual response.
7. Pakistan might just come to an agreement to provide Iran with nuclear assistance.
Any attack on Iran wouldn’t be a few pilots, aircraft, and special forces, it would be massive casualties, especially to our surface fleet.
The whole kerfuffle is just so much Kabuki Theater by the Israeli a$$lickers in Washington, nothing else to see here.
It would be nice if what you write here were true, but sadly it seems unduly optimistic. Remember, the issue is not whether it's in the interests of the US or the American people to go to war with Iran, nor even just whether it's in the real interests of the people and lobbies who manipulate US foreign policy. The question is whether it's perceived to be in the interests of the people and lobbies who manipulate US foreign policy, by those people.
Zero % chance of a direct war with Iran.

A price well worth paying for achieving the goals of those pushing for war, as far as they are concerned, as long as they can establish a political/diplomatic context that allows them to evade too much of the direct blame.

Gee, I must of missed the history where the Russians fought at Iwo Jima, Manila, and Okinawa, every battle of which would have been bloodier than Stalingrad if the Japanese could have resupplied.
The Russians fought, on the whole, rather poorly, a single front war on their own terrain against a known opponent.
US forces fought a multi-front war against two opponents above and below two oceans, while fighting on the ground in multiple locations of Africa, Europe, multiple Pacific islands, SE Asia and God knows where else. All this while supplying the British, French, Australian, Dutch, Chinese, and yes Russian, armies with massive amounts of material aid (what do you think 400,000 trucks are worth in a war of movement?), the greatest logistic achievement of all time. And did it all while managing about 1\100th the casualties of the other combatants in similar situations.
So, yea, US and Russian achievements in WW II are not remotely comparable.
As far as the present, past and future are concerned, “the spiritual to the materiel is as a force of ten to one”, will always be true. Our Navy will always be better than their Navy, our Air Force will always be at least as good as their Air Force, and if you put 10 US infantry men against 10 Russian infantry men, we would win 9 to 1. And for this simple reason: The Russians may be better at dying than we are, but we are WAY better killers than they are. Them, or anyone else.
Damn right. Eastern Front dwarfs anything US ever experienced in its history. I also wonder what would Patton do, in the breaks between inflating 3-4 times Germans he "killed", should he have met with Meinstein, Hoth or Model at the peak of their form and SS and Wehrmacht Panzers, say circa 1942-43. Other than that--sure, USA saved the world, the whole US propaganda machine was built around this delusion and as any sand castle it is disintegrating.Replies: @Diversity Heretic, @L.K

I think that the entire “Russians interfered with our election!!!!!” meme is a deliberate strategy of inoculation-
Create a meme that everyone knows is false to protect against one that everyone should recognize as true.
Imagine after two years of the Russians interfered lie going into the next election cycle, when some (extremely) non establishment candidate tries to bring up:
Israel interferes in our elections.
Saudi Arabia interferes in our elections.
Mexico interferes in our elections.
Rather unsettling idea.
And women in the workplace…well:
The business at my part time weekend job now has cameras covering every nook and cranny of the building interior, at considerable expense. For the simple reason that we once had a female employee who went out of her way to sleep with every married man at that place of business, or shine on every married man she wasn’t attracted to, and then in your face their wives about it while filing sexual harassment charges. I was at work twice when wives came up to confront her.
The reality is that if your business has as many as (as few as?) ten female employees, at least one of them is going to be a grade A sexual predator looking to create as much chaos and harm as possible, to as many people as possible. But of course, we only hold men accountable for their behavior, and that is 100% of why our civilization is collapsing.
“Like South Africa, America is a creation of (northwest) European settlers. And it is in Man’s nature to dislike those who are unlike him—all the more so when they, as a group, have accomplished what he has not.”
And it is men’s nature to virulently hate those who are superior to them. The more inferior, the greater the hatred.
What incredible insanity ever possessed so many millions of Whites, to start treating our inferiors as our equals, and blindly unaware that they would hate us all the more for it?

If in the end, all politics is local, then every one of us needs to locally confront our elected officials for their support for all Israel, all the time.
I confront the Israeli supporters every time, as the twice fold traitors of human history.
First, because they put the interests of a hostile foreign power ahead of the interests of Americans. Morally, if not legally, treason, and likely at least sedition at the level of law. And if you think Israel isn’t a hostile foreign power, well, a whole lot of commentators have already sited chapter and verse.
Second, because they deliberately put the interest of Jews ahead of the interest of Christians. Now that argument may not especially work in Yankee land, but in the South it has real resonance. Especially if you confront a local State Rep at Mass….on Good Friday.
Confront, confront, and confront some more. And if you don’t think this is critically important for the future of our nation, try travelling abound some time, making an effort to talk to ordinary blue collar workers, and found out not how much we are disliked (that would be a lot), but why. Because I guarantee you, our foreign policy is number one on the list.( Ok, maybe number two after lack of language skills, but that is another subject.)

In any case, I learned early that everything I see and hear on the “news” is, and always have been, a collection of false and perjured lies.

And when they don’t even list the “inappropriate behavior”, that leaves me wondering. Because that can cover everything from taking your sock off to blow your nose when you don’t have a Kleenex; to slipping in a joke like “what is the best thing about a blow job?” “It is ten minutes of your life when a woman has to shut up about her feelings”; to my personal favorite, stating, “you know, Richard Nixon was one of our Greatest Presidents!”.

You make some good conjectures, but just so we're clear on the fundamental sexual calculus that underlies all this: the sex with the small, cheap, vastly plentiful, disposable gametes is itself relatively disposable. It struggles, often violently, to distinguish itself in order to gain access to the sex with the large, nourishing, scarce and precious gametes. That is how life for a sexual species IS.Under the Law of the Jungle, the ratio of reproductive age women to men goes up, not down. At root - heh - civilization itself is an implicit pact between men to avoid violence and preserve value by sharing women according to rational male standards, not the bad boy standards of women.

Good article as far as it goes, but I will add a few points:
1. When Saker says most people will fire 1-3 shots in a real firefight, he means one. Most people will have minimal training, outdoors, with hearing protection. Firing a short barreled .357 indoors without protection will result in most dropping the weapon and holding their ears screaming.
2. Know your target, know what is behind your target. You fire a high penetration round in an apartment and it goes into the next apartment, you are responsible for the results.
3. I wouldn’t recommend a handgun for most people in any situation. They require a lot of training to use with even minimal competence. Honestly for most users their best feature, if they have it, is the ability to fix a strong tactical light on the rail. Getting a powerful light in somebody’s face, especially after dark, is pretty deterrent.
4. Can’t emphasize this enough: shooting is a skill, and all skills require both training and practice. Guns don’t require as much training\practice as swords or hands and feet (which is why people use them), but they do require some. If you aren’t going to put the time in, don’t even think of getting the weapon in the first place. And keep this in mind: the least lethal deterrent is the best.
“Can a Jew love France?”
Is this question addressed to:

2. A Jew, who happens to be a French citizen?
And what happens when we replace France with America? FYI, Muslims bow outnumber Jews in America, and are growing rapidly.
Wow, the NYT, hot bed of anti-Semitism.
So what is he saying here- you can be a Jew, or you can be an American, but you can’t be a Jewish American?
Even if that isn’t what he is saying, that is how it will be interpreted. How this is going to be helpful to anybody eludes me. Even if that isn’t what he is saying, Secular Leftists are heartily despised by pretty much all the rest of humanity, so when Jews as a group get associated (maligned?) with them that isn’t going to go well, especially with so much of the world trending “right” in the sense of rediscovering National Identity.

Everybody seems so concerned with the technical aspects of making self driving vehicles work, but I am more concerned with the external implications:
1. How will local Police Departments react to the loss of “probable cause” to pull drivers over at a whim? Not to mention the loss of revenue from tickets?
2.How will insurance companies react to a potential loss of revenue on a massive scale?
3. How will people react to the idea of driverless cars on a conceptual level? Drone pizza delivery has already been experimented with, but so far people seem to strongly prefer an actual person handing them their food. And that is one tiny subset of all driverless possibilities.
4. I am 100% certain that driverless cars will be hackable, thus usable as a weapon platform. First time that happens, all bets are off on how people will react.
5. Just how many gearheads are there out there? I am guessing they will have zero tolerance for driverless cars.
Maybe driverless cars are coming, and maybe they will be birthed in blood.

Even so, watching the Democrats pour illegals into our country, while replying to any issue with “oh, you are ra-ra-ra-Racist!” isn’t just repellent, it is something close to treason.

In a more mixed work environment the 20/80 rule always applies- 20 per cent of the workers do 80 per cent of the work. There is no guarantee the 20 per cent will be mostly male, but bet that way if you have to.
The Founder was one of those films trying to make some one look bad, in this case Ray Kroc, that of course did the opposite (Patton is still the gold standard). It particularly wanted to point out how awful he was in insisting on an all male work environment, because females spent all their time flirting with customers and gossiping. Ah, the good old days of hard headed reality, I miss them.
Are you sure there was no demand for a combined work processor/typewriter, printer, calculator, etc.?
1. Say’s Law is true by definition. Simple example- what was the demand for desktop computers in 1970? Oh yea, zero, they didn’t exist yet. Understanding the truth of Say’s Law is understanding that all production is risk…..until you get a nice fat government contract that pays out regardless.
We joke that Lady Lawyers, particularly of a certain age, are like those Betta fish you can buy in the aquarium store. You can only have one to an office/floor/practice group or they'll tear one another apart.

Funniest article ever! It will take me a long time to stop laughing today.
The only necessary retirement for the entire tech sector is that you like to figure things out. Seriously, how many 10 year old girls ever take a watch apart and try to reassemble it? How many 14 year old girls start gearheading in a major way? How many 18 year old women are running off to college going “oh boy, oh boy STEM! What can discover!”. And how far do you have to stick your head up your a$$ not to discover that men like to fix, invent, discover, and just simply play with, all technology? And women, not so much?
Oh, and btw, techies are not anti-social. THEY ARE ANTI-STUPID!!!!
Come on, man, brilliant women program the robot to go faster. Men are stooges, just to tools that enable the women to fly HIGH! It's the women. It's all about the women. https://youtu.be/sucKTktHYA8https://youtu.be/Co0qkWRqTdMReplies: @bartok

And to the point- for all the diversity advocates the undercurrent becomes ever more openly Satanic.
From Samantha Bee to Mark Zuckerburg to the Clintons and the Bushes, all of them increasingly resemble something that stepped out of a Hieronymus Bosch painting. Hate radiates off of them in stinking waves of intolerance, wrath, and envy, and it shows in their faces.

“But following the American invasion of Afghanistan, poppy cultivation skyrocketed from 185 hectors to 328,000 hectors while under the shadow of seventeen year occupation, ”
And that is 100% of the reason we remain in Afghanistan. How many plane loads of opium a week fly out of Afghanistan, who protects them, and where do the profits go?
I would think that Bridge and Backgammon are the most commonly played mental sports, no mention of either. Really wonder how many Catan players exist world wide as well.
Dota 2 is free, I believe, which I sincerely hope accounts for 99% of its popularity.

Well now:
https://crimeresearch.org/2015/06/comparing-death-rates-from-mass-public-shootings-in-the-us-and-europe/
So shooting things up is not distinctly American after all.
Now about the SCHOOL shootings:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_massacres_by_death_toll
so the USA doesn’t especially dominate that category either.
Quiet probably the single most effective deep state lie most Americans believe in is the
“America is uniquely full of school shootings” lie. Well that is the trope, and it is bullshit.
But there are three things US school shootings have in common:
1. They are shootings
2. They are in schools
3. The shooters are on psychotropic drugs
Go to the head of the class if you recognize the SSRI connection. Maybe we should stop giving people drugs that have a side effect of inducing homicidal rage.
Slightly off topic but since others are commenting on it –
17 years experience of tipping jobs on weekends in Texas so I will break down the experience for everybody:
tipping by fans:
1. New Orleans Saints – just areal nice bunch of guys every which way.
2. Dallas Stars fans – both of them, really.
3. Baseball fans generally.
4. Texas Tech.
5. Spurs.
6. UT Austin\ A&M .
7. Cowboys – which also includes putting up with Cowboys fans.
8. Cubs fans. I sincerely hope it is another 100 years before they see a WS again.
tipping by sex\race\ethnicity
1. Working class Guys, regardless of race.
2. Working class women, again regardless…
3. Wealthy White males.
4. Wealthy other males.
5. No such thing as wealthy females being good tippers.
6. Public Officials of any sort – Cops, School teachers, any of them. Yea, they are just a treat walking in the door.
7. Asians. sorry, but the truth is the truth.
Seriously, if I had to face a weekend of Wealthy Asian cubs fans, I would just call in sick and be money ahead.
There is a well-established set of studies that show that blacks consistently under-tip compared to whites, even after controlling for income and education level. In other words, the stereotype about blacks and poor tipping is reflective of reality.
7. Asians. sorry, but the truth is the truth.
Seriously, if I had to face a weekend of Wealthy Asian cubs fans, I would just call in sick and be money ahead.
In other words, Hispanics (to a lesser degree than blacks, but still) under-tip compared to whites. But that is NOT the case with Asians. I suspect that if we were to further delve into the data and separate East Asians and South Asians, we would likely find that the former tip better than the latter.
ABSTRACT
Asians and Hispanics are perceived by many restaurant servers as poor tippers. This study tests the validity of those perceptions using data from a large restaurant chain’s online customer satisfaction survey. Findings partially support servers’ perceptions – Hispanics but not Asians tipped less on average than Whites after controlling for bill size, the customer’s own ratings of service quality and other variables. Discussion centers around the differences between these findings and those of a previous study and on the practical implications of the findings for restaurant managers. [Bold face mine.]
I admit this - I tip quite a bit myself, but I notice that my Chinese family often deplores or mocks me for it. It can be frustrating.
7. Asians. sorry, but the truth is the truth.
four points I’d like to make:
1. Trump’s win was always predictable and obvious for two reasons. A) Winning was spelled C O A L and if the Democrats hadn’t become so utterly degraded that they don’t even remember Tip O’Neill, they might have known that all elections are local. The fact that they lost because of the flip of coal country counties, and they still can’t figure that out, is truly pathetic. The fact that they come up with ever more hysterical, lunatic, and genuinely ridiculous reasons for their painfully obvious loss, is frightening. B) Anybody with as many unsavory nicknames as H R Clinton didn’t have a prayer of a chance in hell of winning a national election. ( Remember Shrillery, Hitlery, Killery, Cankles, the Hildebeest, Frosty the Snow Bitch, and, my personal favorite, the Salmon Scented Secretary of State?)
2. In all the “Russians interfered with the election ” crap, no one has yet said what their actual “interference” consists of. So what, hacked voting machines, voter suppression, giving money illegally to Candidates, threatening people? What the hell did they actually do?
3. If we can accuse Russians of interference, for at best, a minor propaganda effort, what on earth can we accuse the Israelis and Mexicans of doing? If we are going to accuse people of crimes vis a vis the Russians, then every politician in this country can be hanged for treason for what they have done for the Israelis.
4. Minor point, but Hillary “won” the popular vote strictly on the backs of the illegal alien vote. Outside of California she was pretty decisively crushed, and if Trump’s personality was anything other than well, Trump’s, it would have been a Nixonian\Reaganesque landslide.
Of course, the future may be out of our hands in ways that are really terrible to behold.
1. In all the hullabaloo over global warming, any one with any experience of farming knew it was all BS because no one could point to a single acre of permafrost that, well, thawed. More is the pity, north of 50 degrees is a gigantic band of soil with enough minerals, (frozen) water, and long, long summers, to massively increase world wide food production. Instead we look to be heading to a Mounder minimum of really reduced solar activity. Every one degree drop in temperature is going to be bad, really bad, and for this reason alone: Canada, the USA, Russia, and Ukraine are all major food exporting countries. They won’t be once it gets colder.
2. Courtesy of a policy as short-sighted as it is immoral (sex selective abortion on demand) China and India are reaching a point of no return for societal destabilization due to a massive imbalance between marriage age males and females. So in those societies, which is the most likely scenario:
A. Polyandry
B. Sex bots
C. A massive, and deliberately engineered , war, between two countries who hate each other and need to get rid of 50 million or so surplus males?
I rule out A, B is not sufficient, so placing my money on C.
3. The USA of my youth put a man on the moon, built the computer age, and developed the Green Revolution. We are now a society whose every policy is dictated by the masturbatory fantasies of neurotic and nitwit females, which have now reached a critical mass of systematically destroying traditions and institutions that were care fully built up over a thousand years of Anglo-Saxon Polity. When you go out of your way to reject reason, evidence, inference, and logic as necessary tools for solving problems, you are well and truly f@$ked as a society.
So we may not be doomed, but what is the countervailing set of positive developments? Yes, we could reverse number 3 above, and absolutely must do so, but where is the evidence of that? Number two may take care of itself, and that leaves number one, which remains really, really bad news unless the current cooling trend reverses itself.
Sorry to ruin every bodies morning.
Do towns in California still have newspapers, and if they do, do they still have the police blotter on page 2, 3 or 4?
Because reading that for a few days would be a real simple way to determine who is at fault for increased traffic issues.
The Texas town I live in is at most 30% Hispanic, but Hispanic surnames account for at least 80% of the traffic arrests. And my particular Texas county has a kill rate per miles driven at least FOUR TIMES the national average.( In a place that is perfectly flat, level, nearly treeless, and having minuscule amounts of severe winter weather.) Seriously, fifty KIA’s a year, and if the newspaper is any guide, at least four times out of five, an Hispanic driver is involved.
Import third worlders, get third world problems. Now California, back to your hepatitis epidemic.
Am in 100 % agreement with that idea, and would like to add one of my own.
How many Public School teachers have you encountered in life? How many would you trust with a set of nail clippers, let alone a gun?
The film is actually pretty funny. My favorite bit being when Rachel McAdams gives the (people she believes to be) bad guys the yoga lesson. (BTW, she did Sherlock Holmes 9 years ago, so kudos for extremely taking care of yourself.) My second favorite is when Lamorne Morris builds the tower to the skylight to get out of a locked room, and it works….sort of.
OK, so this film is actually pretty funny…… by the current standards of Hollywood comedy. That is a bit like saying the burrito you just had was the best food truck burrito you’ve had in a while. So Bringing Up Baby it was not, but for a five dollar Tuesday show it was a reasonable amount of entertainment.
“Divorce was rare at that time, but there was a fair amount of family abandonment.”
I suspect more often by women than men. Given the relentless westward expansion over two centuries, it may not have been easy, but was certainly possible, to simply drop one’s identity for another and start a new life. It could have even been a genuinely useful safety valve for women being mistreated in their marriages, or men escaping harridans.
BTW, didn’t Wyatt Earp marry an ex prostitute?
If it could be established, and it never could, I would be curious to see the following table mapped out:
Divorce rates for:
1. Both parties being virgins.
2. One party being virgin, breakdown by sex.
3. Neither party being virgins, breakdown by # of previous partners.
The little thing s let you know you are a bad person, but when I look at number one I think even God needs a laugh occasionally.
Hey Tom, maybe you can explain why El Salvador, Honduras, Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, Columbia, and Venezuela all have astronomically higher per capita murder rates, and gun violence rates, than the USA despite strict gun control laws?
Hey Belle, maybe you can explain why there are higher per capita murder rates in France, Italy, and The Balkans, all of which have strict gun control laws, than there are in the USA?
Hey maybe any of you, seriously, really any of you, can explain why the America of 1960 had nearly zero gun violence – an America where you could buy a gun via the mail and gun registration didn’t exist- with the America of today where an ever expanding collection of restrictions go hand in hand with an ever expanding occurrence of gun violence?
The greater reality is this: Whites own 80+ % of the guns in the USA, non whites commit, well, we just don’t even collect that data any more, but way the hell more than 20 % of the gun violence in America. Simple and indisputable fact: the ultimate aim of all gun laws in this country today is the systematic attempt to disarm Whites in the face of ever escalating violence towards Whites by non Whites. And we need to call out every one of these gun control liars for what they are.
It is much more sinister than that. The ultimate aim of the gun laws in this country is to disarm the citizenry to make it easier for our corrupt Republic to impose their totalitarian multicultural utopia on all of us as they continue to engage in wars around the globe in thrall to the territorial ambitions of Zion. The stakes are very high. A disarmed citizenry is the goal of any totalitarian government. While I am fearful of the largely black criminal element in my country and their penchant for violence, I am more fearful of the criminals in government who would take away my freedoms for a few shekels.Replies: @Jonathan Mason

Isn’t what they are doing essentially ethnic cleansing? In some countries that is illegal, even considered a war crime.
This is ultimately a very simple situation – non-Whites attacking Whites. Do these people simply not realize, or is their deliberate endgame, Yugoslavia # 1000? Because that endgame isn’t going to be pretty for anybody.
I am still convinced that Woodrow Wilson and LBJ we the two worst Presidents, but they weren’t pathetic, just evil. In LBJ’s case pure evil, and I am old enough to remember him.
In the 1-2-3 order of pathetic, wrong, stupid, weak, cowardly, and incompetent though, you can put
Clinton, Dubya, and Obama in any order you want.
History will not remember any of those three at all kindly, but Trump will be remembered as the guy who took more crap than any one else in the history of American politics, and just kept plodding along trying to get something done. And that will be thought of as admirable, no matter how much you might dislike him and hate his politics.
A modest reply to the Oscars so White crowd.
Suppose every White guy in the country just happened to, all at the same time, take his money out of the bank, and take a few weeks off from work. A National Strike of White males, if you like.
We could hashtag it as: non-Whites so Screwed.
Because in three days the country would shut down, within weeks there would be widespread famine. If you are unclear on why, try to figure out how many farmers, truck drivers, and technicians are White.
If every race-baiter in the country wants to play this game, fine, lets play it to win.
Seems to me that a lot of you are missing an important underlying current that runs through the Coen brothers films, which is their absolute fascination with America and things American. Their films consistently are tied to a place, time, and part of America and tend to be spot on with the rhythm of language and behavior local to the area depicted. Even if the over all quality of their films is (extremely) uneven, they are accurate ( well, as film accurate as possible) slices of particular times and places. Only Miller’s Crossing isn’t very specific to a time and place, although the outdoor scenes are clearly shot in deep south woodlands.
BTW, it can be a real pain to watch movies when you have a good ability to identify plants. Stranger Things is in Indiana, so what is with all the Kudzu in the background? Jurassic Park And Fast 5 open in the Dakota badlands and Brazil, respectively, so why do both have plant life distinctive to the Mojave? X Files would have episodes all over the place, but always had Garry Oaks and Douglas firs in the background. The Frighteners was the first film that stumped me on location, but I knew it wasn’t the Northern Hemisphere. (New Zealand, actually.) All of it helpful reminders that FILM IS FAKE and not to be taken seriously.
At least the Coen brothers make different films every time out, Woody Allen has made 300,000 consecutive films the are essentially about Woody Allen kvetching about being….Woody Allen. Stanley Kubrick was a brilliant film maker whose career reached the Olympic heights of Dr Strangelove, and then went off a cliff after wards. I like Barry Lyndon ok, but wow were his other late films pretentious garbage.
In the end, film making is difficult, and I think Fellini summed it up with the observation that the job of the film maker is to tell the truth through lies. now if you will excuse me, I am going to go binge some Zhang Yimou.
Well, when you put it like that………
Good Lord, what an appalling collection of crap those films are, or at least, the ones I’ve seen. I haven’t, and never will, see Moonlight or Shape of Water. The Artist is actually a brilliant and interesting film, and serves to illustrate even more perfectly what an appalling collection of ……..
Get fed up with the Oscars back a while ago when Shakespeare in Love , so boring I fell asleep twice trying to watch it and never have finished it, The English Patient, ditto, and double, Titanic, pretentious nonsense, and Chicago, a waaaaay overrated musical, all won in pretty short order. A collection of second rate films that we now know bought their Oscars.
From bad to worse, vote buying is bad, but allowing Actors to have the biggest single block of votes in the award process is much, much worse. Letting a collection of narcissistic jacktards whose two most common characteristics are their egotism and woeful lack of any real education is a recipe for terrible decision making in any milieu , even aside from their hilariously idiotic Hollywood politics. Bill Buckley’s observation about the first 500 names in the phone book goes double here.
Hollywood insists that by box office receipts, women buy just as many tickets as men. I would like to know their methodology for determining that, because I just don’t believe it, but ok, lets accept that at face value.
Maybe the whole idea of a cult classic is that it uniquely appeals to men. My experience has been that you can’t get a woman to even sit through The Warriors, Big Trouble in Little China, or Kick-ass, (Especially Kick-ass), let alone a clearly feminist screed like Faster Pussycat, Kill! Kill!, or its illegitimate child Bitch Slap. If there are films with unique female appeal, my brain can’t even remember the titles, and it goes without saying I wouldn’t watch the films. If you are going to try to come up with cult classics with unique female appeal, I think you would start with the Horror and Musical genres (especially Horror) the two film genres that I utterly loathe.
Hate to say it, or even think about it, but I suspect films like Texas Chain Saw Massacre, Anti-Christ, and Cannibal Holocaust appeal more to women than men, which if true, is really unfortunate. And I am certain that all the soft core porny, S&My crap like Fifty Shades, Every Vampire film etc, are overwhelmingly female attended films. Yech.
I really hope I am wrong, and everybody else is right, that female appealing cult classics include Romy And Michelle, Clueless, and The Notebook- none of which strike me as especially cultish.
Well just great, now I am really wondering, and could ask every woman I know what their favorite cult classic movies are, but I doubt I would get an honest answer, so no help there.
Democracy is, and always has been, two wolves and a sheep voting on dinner.
So is Democracy the bastard child of Communism, or Communism the bastard child of Democracy? And when counties “slip away” Democracy, what are they really slipping way from?
Personally, I think it is refreshing that the Intellectual\chattering Class is making something perfectly clear:
You vote until you get a result I like, and to hell with what you like.
Now that is Democracy.
If YouTube and Twitter exist in any recognizable form 10 years from today, I will be very impressed. Because I guarantee you they won’t exist in current form by them.
1. Civil War, they get wiped out.
2. War with Russia, we all get wiped out.
3. Return to anything like a constitutional Republic, they get regulated as public Utilities.
4. The Left runs rampant over the next ten years, the critical lack of competent White Males in their (or any other) tech industry will cause a general lowering of standards to complete collapse. Seriously, what these filth have in mind would make Zimbabwe look like paradise.
I really see no future where they continue to exist as in the present. We should all meet in ten years and see.
Yawn…..
When anybody gets arrested for taking bribes from the Israelis , Saudis, or Chinese, get back to me.
Of course, that would be every politician in Western Europe, the USA, Canada, South America, Africa. What the hey, in some countries you have to bribe to do business. Is France one of them?
I had to look up what “3rd degree murder” is, since the State of Texas doesn’t tolerate that nonsense.
Hey it is murder, or it is manslaughter, period. They fact that the Prosecution is making the charge in the manner they are is deliberately setting the Cop up for acquittal by confusion. I guess it is helpful to know how dirty things are in Minnesota. Progressives, they never let you down.
It remains a a fact that the only place on the face of the Earth where Blacks and Whites have lived together for several centuries now, without one race destroying the other, is the Southern USA.
And yet both Yankees and Indian immigrants seem to think they know so much more than us, and feel free to feel superior. So how y’all doing there in Chicago, Detroit, and San Fransisco? Please keep the lectures coming, as Black Men do so well in Yankee Land…….
But it's only been the last 50 years that negros have had much power and influence down there. Rest of the time it was slavery or Jim Crow. Nat Turner tried, but the powers that be dealt with him, so everybody cooled it until LBJ....
It remains a a fact that the only place on the face of the Earth where Blacks and Whites have lived together for several centuries now, without one race destroying the other, is the Southern USA.

There a quiet a number of things you can do, starting with jettisoning proprietary software.
If you don’t want to commit to Unix entirely, run VMware workstation inside windows, then select another operating system and use it. I run Debian on my laptop, because I am cranky and old and prefer CLIs to GUIs. Use the officelibre suite, which is MUCH easier to use than Microsoft Office anymore. (Seriously, the devolution of Word from 2003 to 2014 is a nightmare, and Excel is worse.)
Use open vpn to encrypt all your outgoing Data, as proprietary VPN services are about to be systematically compromised by the FEDs via the CLOUD Act. Notice too, how the open source IPSec came automatically with IPv6, which we are still not using in the USA generally speaking? It is almost like the Feds REALLY don’t want you encrypting your data. They will eventually get around to just banning encryption, other than their approved forms, sooner or later. Well, sooner. In the meantime, encrypt. Until Quantum computers crack RSAs, (Which would likely leave the FEDs more phucked than anybody.)
And keep in mind, the more data collected, the more wrong data is collected. Fill them up with deliberate lies, and when they play gotcha with them, sue them for defamation. In my opinion, Microsoft is the ultimate dirty corporation. Everything they do, they blatantly stole from Unix (tracert, traceroute, anybody?) and got away with it by being joined at the hip with alphabet soup intel agencies.
Dont use social media and Dont use public cloud services. If you need a cloud service, set up a secure intranet not connected to the internet.
Technologically, none of this is at all hard. Just stop being lazy.
a) Yes, of course. Yes, unless you count "straw sales" as illegal, but generally blacks are much more into illegal guns.
a)Do whites usually buy guns legally? How about blacks?
b)If they grabbed all the guns it would be likely taking it from legally?
c)How would they find the guns hidden by gangs and others?
d)Is there a solution to the “gun problem” in USA? A moderate position?
I dont see any of your solutions happening, but it is nice to see so many people wake up to the fact that “gun control ” is just a euphemism for “disarm Whitey”.
Add to this that Mexico is not exactly a military power either. Unbelievable as it might seem for a nation of over 100 million with the worlds's 11th largest GDP, Mexico has ZERO fighter jets in her air force. Zero. Nada. And it's not just the air force. The Mexican army has no main battle tanks. Contrast that to the world's greatest military super power who just received an extra $70 billion for its budget and there is no way one could consider defending that border as anything but a piece of cake.Replies: @theMann, @al-Gharaniq, @Whiskey, @Disordered
The border with Mexico is long but hardly undefensible.
Since all it would require is an electronic frontier, a rapid reaction force, a few helicopters, AND THE WILL TO USE THEM, it would be absurdly easy to control the border.
It does help give the lie to the criminal oligarchs in DC, that they will ever do a damn thing about illegal immigration.

Credentialism is better than nothing, but it is also a limited tool for knowing anything about someone’s real qualifications.
My experience is in IT, and I can can confidently state that the Comptia\Cisco\Microsoft exams are not fooling around, the first time fail rates on them are high, likely very high. But, and there is always a but, they are testing for very specific knowledge and that makes them rather easy to study for. Also very easy to cheat for, and to put it bluntly, I am certain every ethnic Asian applicant knows every cheat out there.
Of course, IT people are very good at workarounds, so agencies and employers are moving more and more to their own exams which cannot be prepped for. I have had them run the gamut from rather easy to stunningly difficult, but I get that prospective employers cannot trust standardized credentials.
Yes. If you want to make sure that a 16-yerar-old knows the difference between accelerator and brake, where the turn signals are, etc., you just ask the kid those few, very specific things.
But, and there is always a but, they are testing for very specific knowledge and that makes them rather easy to study for.
‘Here, we explore the darker side of cognitive ability”
Recognizing pine cone whorls to allow classification is mildly useful, recognizing people you want avoid after dark is a serious survival skill. How exactly is that the darker side of cognitive ability?
Especially for women. The great and the good are well aware of the dangers women face in inter-ethnic conflicts; they just don't care. I said in another thread that, under ordinary circumstances, feminism would be dormant for the time being. I take that back. Feminists have a lot of work to do. They're just not doing it. As in the major political parties, the donors set the agenda, and White women have no effective political representation except insofar as their interests happen to coincide with the interests of the plutocracy.

In the meantime, I would just LOVE to give Harvard Grads the same college graduate test I give everybody else:
1.What is the derivative of e to the x?
2. Who were the major combatants in the Seven Years War?
3. What is the next line: “And post o’er land and ocean without rest:”
Because I have never had anybody pass it yet. And frankly, if you are an alleged college grad and can’t answer those questions, you are completely pathetic. I have had STEM majors miss the first question, and English Majors flub the last. And if you can’t answer the second, go watch Barry Lyndon.
Is that French for "it all started when he hit me back"?

China and India both have a future governed by one overriding fact:
Sex selective abortion has caused a massive surplus of males over females. This is both country’s future, and it is completely destabilizing.
I think the only long term solution is to send the students so affected to Delicate Flower University, with the added bonus of dorms being shaped like wombs.
In the meantime, the prof should have informed his student “real niggas don’t take directions”.
BTW, The Boondocks is a rich source of triggering applications.
I would be very curious to see exactly what plan a Federal tyranny could institute upon the State of Texas.
The town I live in has 140 cops and 1400 members of the local gun club, plus at least 2x more too crazy or paranoid to join the gun club. Think the cops would even consider orders they consider unlawful? Well, maybe you could call in the National Guard….wait a minute, the Texas national Guard taking orders from the Feds to shoot Texans?
Ok, call in the regular military, and then deal with all 500 pumping rigs in Texas stopping at the same time. You would have national food rationing in a week, massive civil unrest in a month. While you, ah, go house to house fighting Texans? Bomb us into the stone age (bye bye oil production)? Way more worried about the Russians nuking us than any of that.
Then there are the long term consequences of even a short burst on actual warfare in general terms. This wouldn’t be a US military vs. peasants conflict in some far off place, it would be the US military vs. former US military fought dead center in the tax base funding that military. Plus the wildcard factor of new technologies, such as drones used to target the homes and families of the people giving orders(on both sides), EW attacks on vehicles carrying supplies, and a host of other simple, but brutally effective, non conventional warfare methods. And not even assuming seriously nasty NBC level (especially the B part of that) events.
I am more concerned that Revelation is literally true than I am that there could be ever be anything like a Civil War level event again in this country. On the other hand, I am more hopeful that I can sprout wings and fly than I am that most Americans today could stick their pwecious wittle feelings up their butts where they belong and start reasoning anything through.
How many non-White women want to be White women?
All of them, because then they would be more attractive to White men. Every non-White woman in this country would kill to be thought of as being as desirable to Whites as other Whites.
Try to figure out what than means for you as a White man.
In the immortal words of Don Penciotti:
I’ve had smart and I’ve had pretty…..And I prefer pretty.
“There is no upside to remaining on Trump’s crazy train.”
That sums it up.
There were only two issues that mattered in the last election, unrestrained (only, at best, half illegal) immigration and Washington’s relentless warmongering.
Trump ran against immigration and against more war.
We have less than nothing on immigration and even more war. Screw him and the horse (so accurately depicted by Lot at post #27 – seriously dude, t-shirts!) he rode in on. The Republican Party – traitors to the Republic, traitors to Christian civilization.

“The supreme function of statesmanship is to provide against preventable evils”
Such as?
“Statesmen” couldn’t even stop Prohibition. Or Vietnam. Or Jim Crow. Or abortion – talk about a preventable evil!
But massive civil disobedience, that does work on occasion.
Uhm, a national strike by every White man in this country………..
Ah, cheer up everybody-
Tomorrow’s America in one picture is going to involve that megaphone being shoved up somebody’s a@@.
BTW a) that has to be a staged picture
and b) if Blacks want to boycott Starbucks, I might shop there despite their crappy coffee.
I have spent 30 years of adult life pointing out certain obvious things, such as:
Film reviewers are uniformly gay\Jewish\Lefty\Anti-American\Anti-White, and it leads to a near uniformity of opinion about film reviews. Which, shockingly, is pro-gay, anti-Christian , Anti-American, and anti-White in stunning uniformity.
I have taken a lot of crap over the years pointing out that obvious fact, but I am just mean enough to enjoy the moment of making people choke on the truth of it.
As are all reviewers of culture, not just film. This was a particularly clever move on the part of Jews. They are good at criticism in general, far better than they are at art. But by controlling the critical apparatus, they can decide what's "good," which is why someone like like Phillip Roth is grossly over-rated, and a much better writer like John O'Hara tossed on the refuse heap. Why a ghastly, hate-filled artist like half-Jewish Richard Serra is proclaimed a genius. Why every bit of black-washing or pro-gay themes in movies, television, Broadway, etc. is praised. Und so weiter. Thus is the culture controlled.
Film reviewers are uniformly gay\Jewish\Lefty\Anti-American\Anti-White
Not many hunters here, eh? Anyone close to the land realizes a sudden uptick in population growth is inevitably followed by a mass die-off the next generation.
By any measure of success other than the sudden mass population bump, Blacks are a catastrophically failed sub group of humanity. Consistently low IQs , short life spans, and chronic health issues unknown to other racial sub groups are the genetic reality. The social reality is that Blacks as a race are incapable of even a bronze age level civilization, let alone a modern high tech society, so are utterly and completely dependent on non Blacks for their very survival, but also are openly hostile to those very people keeping them alive. That is an epic fail combination any way you look at it.
Possible future scenarios:
1. Something worse than HIV, Ebola, or Marburg will tidal rip through the Black subset of humanity resulting in a mass die off event. Something Western medicine won’t catch up with in time. OR, much worse, Whites (ok Asians) will say screw it, you are on your own.
2.The STD rate will catch up with them in a way that results in mass sterilization. Or, much worse, some one weaponizes a set of STDs to do exactly that. Gee, wonder who might have a game plan for that.
3. Now that non Americans are getting a massive dose of living with Blacks, a virulent racism (which could at least be justified in brutal realpolitic terms) becomes the defining political reality of the Next generation. With what seem to me to be rather foreseeable results.
4. Global cooling results in serious agricultural downturns everywhere in the Northern Hemisphere. I don’t know how many third worlders would starve then, but I am guessing more than zero.
5. Massive new gene manipulation technologies are developed that essentially put an end to racial differences, in which the Black sub race still disappears, but not with violent messiness as per scenarios 1-4.
Since Blacks cannot survive as a group entirely on their own, they are headed for a future extinction level event no matter what, or remain a despised parasite class for an indefinite period. In any case, other than scenario 5 above, their future does not look good.
Heightism is a real prejudice and leads to some glaringly obvious double standards.
For instance, I have never gone grocery shopping in my life that some short person didn’t ask me to get something off the top shelf for them. Ok, fine, but if I asked a short person to get me something off the bottom shelf, they would call security.
I am pretty sure the shorties want me bending over so that they can scope out my ass, so what I want to know is: where is the #metoo for tall people being violated in public like this? Tall people need to unite to fight the daily prejudices we encounter from the stubby world we live in. No more bending over, no more car seats putting our knees up our nostrils, no more stubbed toes or sore foreheads (pick your poison) every time we go into a bar. All this suffering just to have first pick of the hot chicks?
Eh, never mind.
The general problem with high level Democrats is that they live in such a tightly sealed bubble that they actually don’t realize how much ordinary Americans despise them, and this has been the case for decades. Pauline Kael’s notorious observation “I don’t know a single person who voted for Richard Nixon” is now almost fifty years old, and things have only gotten worse.
One of the major problems for Democrats is that the Press, Academia, and Hollywood have become so obsequious in shilling for Democratic candidates that they get no quality information about issues, campaigns, opponents, really much of anything but self serving fantasies about how wonderful Democrats are, and how much everyone loves them. (Republicans are actually improved by Press hostility – weak candidates are weeded out, strong candidates become even stronger.) So when Democrats lose, they actually cannot believe it. Since the voters looooove them, and they are told this every day, there has to be SOME explanation other than voter rejection for their losses.
The Democrats, apparently through chicanery, nominated a Candidate who has worked paying jobs for maybe ten years of her life, but was worth a quarter of a billion; had more unflattering nicknames than every other Presidential Candidate in US history combined; and was running on a ticket for a Party that had spent eight years nuking coal country while deliberately pursuing racial divisiveness on every level; but CLEARLY she lost because she was cheated.
Wow.
“In Italia seicento e quaranta,
in Almagna duecento e trentuna,
cento in Francia, in Turchia novantuna,
ma in Ispagna son già mille e tre!” – Leporello from Don Giovanni
Mozart was seriously unreconstructed where women are concerned.
I don’t think Opera is remotely misogynistic, just brutally realistic about life, no matter how much fantasy is involved in the story telling.
It occurs to me you could have all kinds of fun rating Operas by some misogyny factor:
Is the Rake’s Progress misogynistic, feminist, or just three hours of your life you will never get back for sitting through it?
Is Norma pro or anti feminist, or just four hours of torturing some poor sopranos?
Is Die Fledermaus feminist, or just the greatest drunk sing along Opera ever?
Are Violetta and Gilda the victims of male machinations, or do they get about what they deserve? And did Verdi really have some issues with women?
And lets face it, Carmen has to die just to let Don Jose crank out those final lines.
Capture a diversity freak, female version, tie them to a chair and make them watch this:
because all of the non-Europeans in the history of the world will never create something that beautiful.
I can cure Type 2 Diabetes. Lose weight.Replies: @CK, @theMann, @Olorin
Why, his program can even cure ailments like diabetes and scoliosis.
And stop drinking soft drinks!
Cutting down on all sugary drinks, including Kool-Aid, is VERY important. Ask some of the Jim Jones survivors - adult onset Type-II Diabetes was the least of their worries.
And stop drinking soft drinks!
What does the average dingbat female get told all the time? But then, she joins a cult and gets told how intelligent she is, proof being she joined that particular cult, and she get stroked at the schwerpunkt .
What does the average loser guy get told all the time? But then, he joins a cult and gets told how how smart and successful he is now for joining that cult, and gets stroked at the schwerpunkt.
Alas, cults will always be with us. And historically, actresses have always been thought of as little (very little) better than prostitutes. Seems there might be a reason for that.
Not to be a stickler for detail, but once again, some one seems to have missed possibly the single greatest explosion of human achievement:
The development of Dutch military, scientific, and artistic achievement immediately upon the end of the Thirty Year’s War. That was a small population achieving an enormous amount.
Practical space travel will require a great deal more than defeating gravity and time managing interstellar travel. Radiation protection, spinning sections to mimic gravity on voyages, some kind of deflector shielding (a grain of sand at relativistic speeds has a whole lot of kinetic energy), enough water and air to keep you alive for ten to twenty years, and a host of other problems……I think any physicist worth his degree realizes we are a long, long, long way from from anything like interstellar travel.
No disrespect to 'em (especially Dave), but physicists do the pie-in-the-sky theorizing, while it's the engineers that try to make the whole thing work. The Apollo program is a monument to the work of a bright group of Americas best mechanical and electrical engineers. The physics theory played a role in the orbital mechanics calculations and of what COULD possibly be done and expected. Engineers had to do the hard work to make any of it actually happen.Replies: @PhysicistDave
