How does everyone feel about the understanding that our global resources are finite?

Krish55 comments on Sep 2, 2018:

The fundamental problem is not population but Capitalist growth. Western populations consume much more than poor ones. Population growth would stabilize in poor countries if they had socialist governments with social services. But Western imperialist countries sabotage those socialist governments ...

Reason for life ?

Reasons to live? Maybe to see what happens next- You r dog dying is really sad and the tide often turns 'new' comes along - Youre raw at the moment - I live in a sheltered accommodation and someone in one of our flats had a dog named Butch, a collie who died tat a brave age; the owner was ...

July 4th 1970 I was at a protest rally (end the war and legalize Marijuana) headed by Pete Seeger. An opposing rally was headed by Bob Hope (honor America day). At the end of the day tear gas was flying and I was clubbed in the head.

Glad you walked the talk...Thanks for protesting!

The need for religion, not God came up today.

Krish55 comments on Aug 29, 2018:

Very insightful post. Many atheists/agnostics often make the mistake of throwing out the baby with the bathwater. Your comment points to the need to have secular replacements for the needs that religion fulfills.

Krish55 replies on Aug 29, 2018:

@GreatNani Yes! And as humanists we should try to understand religious people.

I'm not sure I make the connection between signaling sexual dominance and bullshit jobs. There's no connection between sexual dominance and MY bullshit job, I can tell you that.

Krish55 replies on Aug 27, 2018:

Yeah, I don't see it either. I guess the point is that the elite like Trump who exhibit that dominance give the rest of us BS jobs with little potential for such dominance, if that's what we want..

Median Age of This Website?

IamNobody comments on Aug 26, 2018:

Oh we can dwell on this one in so many ways. I am sure we can say the data is bounded by limits between 10 and 100 years old. I would like to believe the big chunk of data is somehow close to 30 but who knows......... I find more interesting to ask you, why do you ask?

PalacinkyPDX comments on Aug 26, 2018:

More importantly, are you asking a genuine question or making a statement? I'm guessing the latter. What is it you're trying to say?

Krish55 replies on Aug 27, 2018:

No statement. Honest question.

What has being a skeptic cost you?

Krish55 comments on Aug 22, 2018:

I think the problem is not your skepticism, which I strongly share, but your militancy and the lack of enough patience, compassion, and communication. One can be both confrontational and patient and understanding...

What did you learn today? (I learned not to eat salmon that's been in the fridge too long)

Oh that’s tough lesson. I learned that eating a whole hot fudge sundea at Jackson’s gives me a tummy ache. And all my users in Brazil insist on sending me emails in Portuguese.

Spelling: insightful

Krish55 replies on Aug 22, 2018:

@jlynn37 Yes, but as misspelled it had a meaning quite the opposite to the one intended. As such, it briefly conjured up an image contrary to the one the writer wanted, thereby temporarily impairing his message. With my having made the correction, Marc will better be able to catch this in the future…
