The end times for religion - Freethought Now
racocn8 comments on Feb 7, 2022:
Yes, but... I recall research done on modernizing countries that showed the populace turned to conservatism as a rejection of technology. This was before the internet, so it may be harder to bury one's head in the sand. I believe this research received a pejorative award from Senator Proxmire, but it proved all too accurate in essentially predicting the revolution in Iran. In our own case, the US has been much more religious than other Western countries, so it has farther to go. My guess is we're approaching the sharpest slope in the change curve, and that's good. However, the shift could be jarring to many.

Sorry to hear of the estrangement from your family. That's a harm that cuts deep and keeps stinging.

Just know that you aren't the one doing the hurting, and that life is too short to waste time on on people who can't and won't ennoble your life.

racocn8 comments on Feb 6, 2022:
Maybe... Complete apart from CO2 and methane is the particulate pollution that comes from sulfur content. These sulfur particulates typically have a carbon coating that absorbs sunlight. When the particles settle on snow or ice, the sunlight converts to heat that melts the ice. I've never seen any discussion of trying to separate the effects of warming from particulates melting glacial ice.

racocn8 comments on Feb 6, 2022:
Hundred of studies have shown that cannabis compounds stop or kill cancer cells in many cases. Clinical trials cannot be conducted because of the cannabis Schedule 1 classification. People have reported thousands of successful anecdotal cases. Cannabinoids act together to cause cancer cells to undergo apoptosis (cell death) which would not otherwise occur. Cannabinoids can block activation of the vascular endothelial growth factor, and thus prevent vascularization of cancer cells, depriving them of oxygen and nutrients. Cannabidiol has been seen to increase levels of ceramide which suppresses tumor growth. CBD can also reduce tumor cell invasion and metastasis by increasing levels of intercellular adhesion molecule 1, which plays an important role in the immune system. It is a near certainty that cancer would nearly be cured except for cannabis being stigmatized. Biden's idiotic drug warrior stance prevented the research that would have saved his son. And still he is playing the drug warrior, firing WH aides who used cannabis, and refusing to pardon the hundreds of thousands of (mostly non-white) inmates convicted of cannabis possession. Nor has he done anything in a year to de-schedule cannabis or to voice support for decriminalization legislation, even though he promised to do so. Or, is Biden's initiative a ploy, an offering to Big Pharma in exchange for Manchin & Sinema to approve BBB? That need not stop him from making good on his cannabis promises.

racocn8 comments on Feb 5, 2022:
I do not believe the state should be in the business of killing citizens because 1) Way too many innocent people on Death Row; 2) Too easy to pervert for political purposes. On the other hand, some people perform acts of horror that do deserve removal, and allowing certain perpetrators to continue living is an affront to the victim's survivors. Thus, I believe additional protocols should be set up to only accommodate these conditions. Perhaps a friend or relative of the victim should be tasked with throwing the switch. Otherwise, life without parole.

In case you missed the Whoopi Goldberg kerfuffle.
racocn8 comments on Feb 5, 2022:
For Whoopi to say the Holocaust was not about race only demonstrates an unfortunate ignorance of Hitler and Nazism on her part. Hitler and the Nazis hijacked the concept of race and redefined it to justify their anti-Semitism and desire to kill 'undesirables'. Hitler and the Nazis made copious reference to the Aryan Race, except that this label has no real definition or defining characteristics. By defining Jews as non-Aryan, Goldberg should have understood that Blacks, Asians, and so many others did not qualify as members of the "Master Race". The Germans would treat these 'Others' the same as the Jews if the Germans had got the chance. Here's the actual segment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhITfM4bqO8

How Clarence Thomas represents the standard Uncle Tom: conscious but lacking any particular intellect; possibly the least competent justice ever (and all the rest, and his wife's psychotic partisanship). Gorsuch has revealed himself to be a selfish, partisan sociopath by refusing to wear a mask in Sotomayor's presence. Alito, Kavenaugh, and Barrett have shown themselves to be extreme right wing kooks, scarcely better than Bork if at all. These 'people' are really unfit to serve with their distorted mentality. Their presence on the Court, once again, make the US look like a giant clown car of morons, easily manipulated or apathetic voters who have no love for their own democracy.

The ACLU also had a significant hand in getting Trump elected in that prior to 2016, the ACLU promoted and largely got a policy of open borders. Much of ACLU's agenda was hijacked by La Raza. The ACLU's open border policy provided clear arguments to Trump and his racists, and bolstered Trump's rhetoric about building a wall. That created a huge amount of support for Trump. Thank you, ACLU.

racocn8 comments on Feb 2, 2022:
The presence of cannabis is a red herring. The intended implication is that the mother and her friend weren't paying attention. One cannot give children 100% attention. It's a reasonable assumption they didn't know about the gun until it was too late. That should put responsibility back on the father for not securing the gun. While cannabis drivers are generally safe, authorities continue to presume that using cannabis is the same as intoxication. Having children in a car while smoking is a bad idea because law enforcement will be hostile to that scene.

I would love to hear thoughts and opinions on Whoopi Goldberg's recent controversial comments ...
racocn8 comments on Feb 2, 2022:
The Nazis/Hitler contrived their own, new, notion of race, applying it to themselves and 'others'. They had no criteria, so it really was mainly a propaganda device. The use of the device sought to downplay the reality that the disparagement of Jews came from Christian anti-Semitism. Nazis also used their notion of racial purity to murder the sick and handicapped, supposedly under the auspices of eugenics. The problem again being that they whatever criteria they claimed was bogus, and applied the term 'science' the same way Christians used to use it in the term 'Scientific Creationism'; no real science being involved in either. It is bizarre that Goldberg, who identifies as Jewish by ancestry only, should then denounce the issue of race as a conflict within Whites. Plainly, Nazis considered Blacks to be an inferior race, along with all non-Aryans.

Trump is a profoundly malign actor in our culture on multiple levels. He continues to be a malignant metastasizing cancer on our culture, and an existential threat to our political system. And, his SOP is to delay legal proceedings and has accumulated expertise doing it. Given all that, Garland should find the most expeditiously proven crime that can be used to incarcerate Trump, and proceed QUICKLY. Doing anything else constitutes incompetence and threatens/dooms the country.

Political correctness, spare me. There are numerous forms of atheism. If anything, secularism is just one of them, that being the principle that the state should not support any particular belief. Belief can be tolerated as with free speech. However, the free speech of religion quickly becomes hate speech that is then leveraged into political abuse against each minority the religion doesn't like. It is this PERVASIVE abuse that motivate secularists and atheists to reign in religious psychosis wherever possible. As the 'Nones' become larger, the bigotry against them needs to be called out and the hypocrisy exposed. Religion should be and will be recognized as a public mental health issue akin to substance abuse.

"Helena" Amram had actually pulled a similar scam in New York before setting up in Westwood, CA. Somehow, the police services didn't care to follow-up or offer warnings. And apparently, came back to Florida in 2002 and ran her scam there and got sued. Googling, I found Helena died in early Dec 2020. Her husband said this: “For many years she suffered from lupus, and in recent years added epilepsy, lung cancer and terminal lung disease. She needed oxygen, could not function without it. She also had two fractures in her spine. Countless troubles befell her. Blow after blow. “Monday and Thursday we would take her in an ambulance to the hospital. Each time she had something different. " Few people die easily. I'm glad she wasn't one of them.

Religion teaches immorality and/or brainwashes people into beliefs that promote immoral behavior(slavery, bigotry, violence, genocide).

Former Washington State Trooper Fired For Refusing Vaccine Dies Of COVID-19 - BNO News
racocn8 comments on Jan 28, 2022:
The tragedy is that some of these people are genuinely stupid in the essential understanding of stupidity. Their being stupid could be suggested to not be their fault, exactly. They seem either incapable of the intelligence, or out of stupidity, reject the available information. Personality disorders (insecurity) compelled them to seek identification with GQP, and forgoing vaccination was seen as a loyalty test. It's sad and doesn't need to be this way, but the greed of Fox-news hucksters and its broadcast of loyalty testing is allowed.
Are homosexual natures created by nurture, nature, or God?
racocn8 comments on Jan 28, 2022:
Yes, by nurture, because crowding increases homosexuality. And that is still a natural process, so nature too. If God existed, then one could claim he caused it as much as anything else. And I believe some studies suggest homosexuality is associated with certain genes. One cannot answer or speculate on God's motivations meaningfully. If you must, you may suppose it is another manifestation of love.

The Greatest Technological Hurdle to Making Nuclear Fusion Possible – the Magnet – Just Powered ...
racocn8 comments on Jan 28, 2022:
Given the level of promise from this technology, whatever development can be made to speed it up or develop closely related technologies, these should by given priority. Perhaps it can be merged with the German mobius strip tokamak that uses topology to keep the plasma tightly focused?

To a Putin-owned fascist, anything left of conservative is radical.
