Soylant Green here we come. Funny thing I have been hearing we only have 10 years to take action for over 20 years (as time progresses the time span grows - in the late 90's it was only 5 years). If we haven't gotten it by now we never will.

Jolanta replies on Feb 23, 2019:

Jolanta replies on Feb 22, 2019:

@Heidi68 No I don't think him being better because he is old. I think it makes him more experienced. Just like I think I have more experience in life that a 30 year old. I also think that Bernie is more known than any other young politicians, that doesn't mean that I think they are any less. You need to realise that most people don't know much about politics or politicians and what they stand for and they certainly don't go out of their way to find out, no matter how unfortunate that is.

Bernie for President?

IAMGROOT comments on Feb 19, 2019:

No thanks. And I don't care how old he is.

Jolanta replies on Feb 22, 2019:

@IAMGROOT No, you are wrong. Bernie doesn't want to give away FREE STUFF, you need to listen better to him. What he wants is to stop the bailouts to Wall Street, stop the unfair distribution that is happening. He wants all Americans to benefit, not just the already rich. And why we are on the subject of Government interference then you are wrong too. Government is there to interfere, they are there to look after the people, they are there to make laws so people have clean air, can drink the water without being poisoned, can have a job that pays them a living wage, can buy that medicine that they need without it costing more than what they are earning, so yes Government interference is what is needed. What you don't need is lobbyists, lobbyists who give money to politicians and corrupt them.

@Freedompath Actually this is not the past, this is what is still happening. You heard of Venezuela or Iran that is on the agenda to be bombed and invaded. This is what is happening now and your vote is not the only thing you got.

Jolanta replies on Feb 22, 2019:

@david75090 Yes that is so, however when it comes to bees we need millions, billions of them around the world for the crops to grow, one or two or three big fat bees won't do it.

Sorry she does not understand economics very well and I hope she does so quickly.

Jolanta replies on Feb 16, 2019:

@callmedubious I agree with you about Wall Street and what else you are saying but why would you block anybody. If you get into the habit of doing it your mind will not get anybody else’s point, and sometimes people have different experiences than us and can teach us something we were not aware of. If people annoy me, I just don’t read what they say anymore.

I'm still not convinced climate change is a problem. Can you convince me otherwise?

Shouldbefishing comments on Feb 16, 2019:

It depends. You used two different terms in your post, "climate change" and "global warming". They are not mutually exclusive, although most people use them interchangeably just like how people use the term "agnostic" to describe a theological middle ground between Theism and Atheism. Is it ...

Jolanta replies on Feb 16, 2019:

You are right about science being conducted on facts and I would say that there are far more scientists who say that climate change is man made than not. You have to have a good look at the ones who say that it’s not, where does their money come from?

I had something happen Monday night that made me feel great, and I wanted to share.

You must be a good dad but why do you call her mouse. She doesn't look like one to me.

@Geektheist All those kids yours?

This is another one of my causes.

FatherOfNyx comments on Feb 15, 2019:

While I don't condone trophy hunting, I am somewhat ok with it because they usually pay fees to do it. Those fees (are supposed to) fund conservation efforts for the rest of the species. Whether or not those fees are being properly used is another story. I did just read the article though, they ...

Jolanta replies on Feb 16, 2019:

That is actually not true that it goes to conservation efforts. It is just profit for the owners of the game park. Some of the animals are just bread to be killed by these people.

@KKGator If that's a "joke" you have a strange sense of humour.

People aren't going hungry because we can't grow enough food.

BD66 comments on Feb 10, 2019:

People aren't going hungry. There is an epidemic of obesity in the USA. If you want to blame capitalism for the overabundance of food, then you have a point.

Jolanta replies on Feb 15, 2019:

@BD66 Would probably be good for you to actually try to walk in the shoes of someone who didn't have the same education as you, who did not have the same chances and opportunities as you either, etc, etc. Not everybody in this world has that, start thinking outside your cozy box.

@Freedompath Take all the time in the world and have a lovely day. Take care.

Jolanta comments on Feb 14, 2019:

I have seen in India aqua ducts that are covered by solar panels. A lot of things are possible but it is a matter of money. As the US doesn't want to spend any money on infrastructure, how can you expect them to spend money on this.

@bigpawbullets No just a questions that I want you to answer.

Here in the UK, you really can get this in any supermarket.

Some years ago, I saw an episode of "The F Word" where Gordon Ramsay and Ricky Gervais were trying a few snacks available throughout Europe with weird and funny names. It was hysterical.

@Sydland Thank you for that. I will look him up on facebook. I never thought of it.

Denker comments on Feb 15, 2019:

Well, I think we already have too many people on the planet, so we should take every opportunity to reduce the numbers. It’s good for the environment!

@BD66 Wall mart who doesn't pay their workers a living wage. Donald being vilified, that is a laugh in itself. Donald doesn't give a crap about you or anybody else. I guess you believe in trickle down economy too.

Jolanta replies on Feb 15, 2019:

@KKGator There are times when anger is justifiable but most of the time it is not with well adjusted happy people. I know people who are constantly angry and they too think they are well adjusted and happy and then they wonder why they don't have many friends or why people avoid them.

@Freedompath I am sorry that you feel that way. I am just trying to help telling you that there are different ways to find what is happening in the world. If you want to block me then do so, but my intention is always to help.

@TashaGareth There was someone here on this site that had a go at people who did not cook "proper" food. I tried to explain the reasons but he was having none of that. Arrogant git he was.

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@bigpawbullets So are you happy with the crumbling infrastructure?

A good example of why I don't support "Free College for Everyone".

Jolanta comments on Feb 14, 2019:

What a lot of rubbish, we need both and education should be free, just like health care and affordable housing.

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@bigpawbullets Look at other countries who pay way more tax than they do in the US. The problem is that the rich folks there do not pay any taxes. You know there is a reason why Donald doesn't want to show his tax returns.

Seriously why I couldn’t be a demon.?

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@BD66 You know what, how about educating them instead of making them feel less than they already feel. Or how about people in the US get a living wage, that would help. By the way you are opening an opportunity for huge exploration here. Do you honesty think that it can be achievable. I can see some rich bastard taking advantage and getting concessions from the government just to be able to put that kind of labels on goods. Already companies are screaming about having to write what is in products.

I love you all.

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@KKGator Well for one thing, if you as you yourself say is generally happy and extremely well-adjusted person you would not be so angry. So there is something amiss there. And yes you still don't have to litter or any of the other things you mention.

Rosellas outside our beach house.

chucklesIII comments on Feb 14, 2019:

You got a beach house in Australia!? That's awesome beyond words!

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

I don't, but have friends that do. We go down now and then. I am not much of a beach person, I get bored sitting on the beach, trying to get a tan. Bad for your skin too. I could get a beach house but that means having to go there every week end and it is three hours away, would take up far too much of my time. This way it is much better I get to go now and then and I don't have all the upkeep and cleaning another house either.

Jolanta replies on Feb 14, 2019:

@BD66 Yes it is the fault of the capitalist as they do not educate people about nutrition or anything else. Why would they do that as it is more profitable for them to have a population who is dumb and don't ask any questions.
