Actually it's very important for kjds to have the 10 commandments posted in classrooms. The prohibition against worshipping graven images should help keep them from turning into Hindus or Buddhists. Oddly enough, while a commandment prohibits coveting the wives of neighbors, it says nothing about husbands. So I guess that gives permission to little girls to covet their neighbors' husbands. Let the coveting begin!

Because in this situation someone has to have the deciding vote. Both parties make an equal genetic contribution but only one does all the work afterwards. Think of it like a business deal. 2 partners each contribute 50 percent of the capital but one is a passive investor and the other actually runs the business. Sweat equity counts.

Your claim was that "fully viable children" are being aborted. That is not the same thing as late term abortions being permitted.

In what locations are "fully viable children" being aborted?

Experts on hunger say that almost half a million people in Gaza face starvation. In March, the I.P.C. predicted that famine would likely occur in northern Gaza by the end of May. But on Tuesday, it said that the amount of food and other nutrition delivered there had increased in March and April. Those increases “appear to have temporarily alleviated conditions” in the north, the report said, adding, “In this context, the available evidence does not indicate that famine is currently occurring.” https://archive.ph/6HoVC

Had you bothered to read the report, or even skim it, you would know that it only referred to Northern Gaza where about 300,000 Gazans are located. 1.9 million are elsewhere.

I've got graphs and stats. You've got nothing.

That critique would be valid if in fact most of the other economically developed nations also hadn't experienced high inflation. In fact, the US is performing far better than the economies of other economically developed nations.

What you didn't note is this: The trend is coinciding with plunging sales of internal combustion engine vehicles as well as falling production. https://www.thaiexaminer.com/thai-news-foreigners/2024/04/26/sales-of-ev-cars-fell-in-thailand-in-february-and-march-2024/

Because the Arctic is warming at a faster pace than the world as a whole. which means that greenland is dumping huge amounts of water into the seas. And the arctic floating ice with a high albedo is decreasing and that means the seas get warmer faster.

Someone else who doesn't understand that it isn't about warming per se but the rate of warming.

Some confused thinking here from a self-proclaimed scientist. For one thing, as a scientist, you should understand that climate change isn't just about change per se, but rate of change. I don't see any evidence that you have taken that into account. Which omission is kind of odd for a scientist. Whatever do you mean by "The Earth is somewhat 'stronger' than our puny species and you can't change a climatic effect that has existed for millions of years." Because there are long term temperature changes that are caused by factors extraneous to greenhouse gas levels, that means that on a shorter term basis reversing the rise would be ineffective? On what scientific basis do you deny that the same surge which was caused by increased levels of greenhouse gases can't be reversed by lowering them?

Take it up with the DA's office. And what happened to your promise to stop replying? I guess it went the way of your promise to keep on producing videos every time I posted a reply to you.

Assange is an Australian.

But on the basis of video evidence, which is what you claimed?

Anyway, as I pointed out average temperatures have risen sharply in Saudi Arabia since then. I also went to wunderground.com to look to see if any July temperatures had risen to 50 C. in Riyadh. July is the hottest month. I couldn't find any but the records only go back to 1997.

I specifically noted "identifiable students"? I didn't see any that were identifiable from the that video. And you repeatedly claimed that being arrested by the police constituted evidence that these people committed crimes.

It was truly an amazing achievement that Russia and China signed on to. Now Iran is getting very close to having high quality nuclear material. Enough to make weapons. It's an entirely rational decision. If Ukraine hadn't given up its nuclear weapons, would Russia ever have invaded?

I never claimed that there was no valid evidence against all those people. You're the one who claimed that the police arrest is evidence that all of those arrested committed crimes. And you claimed to be ablle to show videos that proved that these people had committed crimes despite the fact that the DA's office said that the video evidence was poor. And the videos you linked to clearly supported the DA's office characterization.

"Manhattan district attorney's office told a court on Thursday that they would drop the charges against 31 protesters citing "prosecutorial discretion and lack of evidence". Apparently the Manhattan DA.s office, unlike you, understands that the fact that someone gets arrested does not, in itself, count as evidence.

Adaptation can only go so far. Except, of course that as the days get hotter, that means it's too hot for longer. There are only so many hours of daylight in which to get work done. Kidney disease is rising sharply among construction workers and agricultural laborers in countries where high heat is prevalent. In addition, nights, which is when humans and other creatures have the opportunity to cool down, are also getting warmer, with minimum temperatures rising, and making humans more vulnerable to the heat of the day. Still, adaptation is definitely essential. Like swapping out air conditioners and fossil fuel based heating systems for heat pumps. And by replacing energy producing systems which create greenhouse gases for affordable systems that don't.

Deadly Attack Revives Fears of the Return of Mass Terror in Russia A deadly assault in the southern region of Dagestan has put a spotlight on the failing of Russian security services amid the war in Ukraine. https://archive.ph/W7AsE#selection-489.0-493.140 Attacks in Russia’s Dagestan Region: What to Know Two bloody attacks in Dagestan, in southern Russia, on Sunday ignited fears of extremist violence on the home front, as the Kremlin pours resources and bodies into its sprawling war in Ukraine. https://archive.ph/SCrSq#selection-4447.0-4451.175

Since when do placards carried by demonstrators of any political stripe offer nuance and qualifications?

It could be that Islamic militants are taking advantage of the Russian focus on Ukraine. It's dubious that Russia has enough additional resources now to do to Dagestan what it did to its neighbor, Chechnya.
