Deadly Forecast: How Climate Change Could Claim 30 Million Lives by 2100
Chances are there will be 2 billion more people on the planet by then, maybe climate change should be connected to population control and the banning of people having more than 2 children in a family. That would help far more -

Day-to-day life in Myanmar
You have more guts than me... I have this nostalgia bug of Thailand 20 years ago that I think Myanmar would maybe realize, but it's just too risky. Not sure if i'm sensible or becoming cowardly as I get a bit older. From travelers I have heard Yangon is ok, but most of the country is risky. What is your assessment Simon? I do recollect you posting many years ago that you had enough of Thailand and was planning to move to Myanmar. Good to see you are still around and followed through with your plan. -

Trump wins on the Stormy case as sentencing delayed "indefinitely".
Sorry I must have misread the intention of your post. I don't think I have any argument with you. -

Trump wins on the Stormy case as sentencing delayed "indefinitely".
I made some lengthy posts and supported my thesis. If you are unwilling to do so please leave the grown up table. I will make another point. Bragg is trying to deprive Trump iof due processs which could xenorate Trump by not passing sentence and denying a right to respond through an appeal. Sometimes a sentencing hearing can be delayed but that is usually at the request of the defendant. -

JK Rowling Criticizes Edinburgh Council for Flying Trans Flag to Honor Violent Prisoner
Perhaps Ms Rowling could appraise herself of what Transgender Day of Remembrance is actually about, she might then avoid grandstanding on such an obvious false premise. Here’s what TDOR is actually about: “Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDOR) is an annual observance on November 20 that honors the memory of the transgender people whose lives were lost in acts of anti-transgender violence.” “Transgender Day of Remembrance seeks to highlight the losses we face due to anti-transgender bigotry and violence. I am no stranger to the need to fight for our rights, and the right to simply exist is first and foremost. With so many seeking to erase transgender people — sometimes in the most brutal ways possible — it is vitally important that those we lose are remembered, and that we continue to fight for justice.” Transgender Day of Remembrance founder Gwendolyn Ann Smith. https://glaad.org/tdor/ Oh and well done Edinburgh. -

Even if you were right and he remains convicted, so what, what's the big deal? -

Is this the "Little Surprise" of 47 and the Speaker?
The scary thing for me is that you and perhaps even the majority of my fellow citizens (USA) believe both socialism and communism have to be paired with authoritarianism. Socialism, communism, and capitalism are economic systems. Democracy, authoritarianism, monarchy, etc., are governmental systems. Economic systems can be paired with a variety (but not all) of governmental systems. Socialism, communism, and capitalism can all be paired with a democracy. Socialism and communism cannot be paired with a plutocracy like capitalism because, in socialism and communism, there are no people who have more wealth than others. The USA, like most countries, has a mixed economy with both socialistic and capitalistic aspects. Most services that start with "pubic" are socialistic services, like public libraries, public schools, public parks, public fire departments, etc. Services that start with "private" are capitalistic, like private hospitals, private schools, etc. The main arguments about the economy in the USA are not about whether or not there should only be capitalism or socialism; it's about the percentage of the mix. I hope you have learned something from the ooze above... 😉
