  1. I see, you are too lazy to do a bit of research. Here, I'll help you: "Coprophagy is the scientific term for eating feces. It can refer to eating one's own feces, or the feces of another animal or species. The word comes from the Greek words kópros ("feces") and phageîn ("to eat")." Australians punch well above their weight in medical research and science generally. The black box recorder on every aircraft was invented by an Australian. The label of intellectual is usually applied by non-intellectuals, as a form of reverse snobbery.
  2. AFAIK the only thing wrong with me is having the temerity to post facts, data and opinions, which offend a tribe of posters who hate having their delusions exposed.
  3. It would take a lot more than a measly million to get me into the American health and education system. What makes you think Greenlanders will want to give up their self-governing status?
  4. The art of comparison is not part of your education, obviously. I can explain it to you, I can't understand it for you.
  5. The real problem is the inequity gap between rich and poor, which has now expanded to cover the average person. That gap gets bigger every day. The average person is the most heavily taxed in most countries. The really rich pay teams of tax accountants and lawyers to minimize their taxes. There are any number of strategies, legal and illegal. Governments seem powerless to stop the march of oligarchy. I don't blame young people for getting angry, I had far more opportunity than they ever will, unless there is a revolution.
  6. I agree, it would be a sad existence if what you are asserting is true. There is a difference between getting angry , and not suffering fools gladly. As for banging out hatred, what did you just post? I trust you continue to enjoy my posts, IMO they are much more creative than yours.
  7. Did you fail English comprehension?
  8. Any funding for my degree was paid for by myself. The EV you are so proud of would not be possible without scientists and engineers. Thanks to science, you probably have a longer life expectancy, although it seems to be wasted on you.
  9. Russia became a pariah nation when it invaded Ukraine. Its only allies are Iran and North Korea. China is lukewarm. If the US takes Greenland by force, how is it any different to Russia? What people with more than two brain cells would want to be part of the American health and education system?
  10. I only insult people who have insulted me first. In your case, you insult my intelligence. I regret I cannot reciprocate.
  11. Really? The coprophagocytes are posting early this morning.
  12. Please tell us all about your own scientific qualifications.
  13. Goodness me, three posts in response to one of mine. Who is living rent-free in your head?
  14. Lies and lying are now accepted behavior from political leaders. Who remembers when John Profumo was forced to resign from the British ministry for lying to Parliament in 1963? How likely is that now? The response to facts on the internet is ad hominem attacks. Or assertions without evidence, which can be dismissed without evidence. Freedom of speech on the internet has resulted in some influencers being able to disseminate misinformation and hate, with no checks on them. Governments should do something about it? They are among the worst offenders.
  15. I'm sorry, Christmas has come and gone. Otherwise, I could buy you a sense of humor.
  16. Common decency says you don't open your fat gob to assign blame to whoever you fancy, for political purposes, when the bodies of the victims are not even cold. Trump has no decency, neither do some of the posters on this thread.
  17. Old, yes. Wrinkly, yes. Sagging, no. How many lemons did you suck before posting?
  18. I am too busy admiring my pecs and abs to be watching others.
  19. Don't be such a Cheap Charlie. Take a songthaew.
  20. What makes you think you will be able to afford it? Paul Krugman is a famed economist. He's predicting inflation will take off as mass deportations and tariff wars get implemented. Trump doesn't care, he's fixated on some Aryan white America fantasy. Taking over Greenland, Canada and the Panama Canal. What's deplorable is MAGA's and swing voters who were too dumb to see this coming.
  21. The "E" in DEI stands for EQUITY. I would like you to explain what is equitable about a triumvirate of multi-billionaires having more combined wealth than the bottom 150 million Americans, while paying minimal taxes. IMO most young people would like to hear/see your explanation too.
  22. The consensus seems to be the ATC was understaffed. As usual. Trump is very long on detail of who is to blame, and very short on saying how he is going to fix it. America is probably the busiest country in the world as far as domestic air travel goes, I can't see how gettiing rid of so-called diversity hires in ATC is going to help air safety.
  23. susanlea flambe, and bignok on a skewer.
  24. Valid point. However, the owner might sense desperation, and jack up the price accordingly. I've never been so attached to a place I have not been able to move on, but we all are different.
