The government should just give people money — Pfhorrest
This is what's wrong with it. Read for comprehension, Frank, as many time as it takes for you to get the gist. — 180 Proof
Estimates of the number killed by the Spanish Inquisition, which Sixtus IV authorised in a papal bull in 1478, have ranged from 30,000 to 300,000. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
I was referring to Haidt`s research, not teachings. I suppose you are blissfully unaware of it and unwilling to check it.That is not Haidt's teachings and you are too bigoted for me to bother with a guy who would make all women second class citizens. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
What does Cleopatra have to do with anything? And no, I do not hate women, I just state that as a group (not every single one of course) have a terrible level of knowledge and terrible voting record. It is quite understandable from an evolutionary biology point of view, but I dont assume you are willing to look into that.You stupidly forget Cleopatra. Your mother must have been a real bitch for you to hate women so much and think they do not protect their offspring's. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
More lies. Just the Cathar inquisition murdered more than what you put. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Prove this please. What you're saying is fallacious, and it's just one of potentially many ways of measuring or framing demographics and trends. — IvoryBlackBishop
I do not know what your argument is here, and neither do you apparently. India was British colony, yes, but what does that have to do with birth rates? A more relevant example would be how e.g. the population of Kosovo turned from Greek Orthodox to muslim. Hint: Not by mass conversion.If your equating birth rates with turning into an "Islamic" or any other continent, this is fallacious, for example, India used to be a "British" territory, despite people of Indian descent being the "majority" demographic. — IvoryBlackBishop
Inquisitions and Jihads dominated the past — Gnostic Christian Bishop
No need, but I can link you to the appropriate scholars if you want to take better than on hour educating yourself. Warning, it is a boring process. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Thanks for showing us why women should rule.
They like to gather consensus while that seems to offend you.
Women unite, men divide.
Sure, men have ruined many to make them like you, but most are too intelligent.. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
What? Christianity is 5000 years old? In what universe?As compared to our last 5,000 years of disastrous male driven war history. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Can you give us an overview over this 20,000 years of history that you claim to know so well, as well as these goddesses?You might wonder, after clearing the garbage, why the 20,000 years prior to our disgusting history, we had peace under the goddesses. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Not infinitum; very rapidly indeed, seeing that human life span is about 80 years. And yes, this has been happening before, and is happening now. Use the calculator site that I referenced to see how the math works out.Either give me an estimate on how long, or please stop wasting time. Plus this is assuming that it continues that way ad infinitum, when in reality that hasn't been the case historically. — IvoryBlackBishop
What the heck are you talking about? For better or worse, we live in nation states, and the national birthrate determines what happens to them. And yes, of course, there are differences between communities; i.e. the orthodox Jews in Israel with their massive birth rates produce the children that the secular Jews do not produce, In the same way that muslim immigrants produce the children in Europe that the native Europeans do not produce, which will turn Europe into an islamic continent within the century.Much as how "nationwide" or "global" population is just one of many ways of measuring things, and obviously doesn't take into account population within the context of smaller communities, and so on and so forth. — IvoryBlackBishop
Women should rule the world and not men. It would make future negotiations for the huge problems coming our world way a lot easier to find solutions to. — Gnostic Christian Bishop
Besides the VP is going to be a WOMAN because Biden is WOKE. — StreetlightX
And... how long would that take for the population to "disappear", assuming that it stays fixed at this rate and never fluctuates? — IvoryBlackBishop
Yes, of course, because much of the industries were obliterated during the raids. — Zehir
It is simple, Wars are good for the economy of the victorious. — Zehir
However, think for a moment... Did nazi economy recovered from the war? the short answer is no, Nazi economy ceased to exist (indeed it was transformed, but no more slaves, no more military oriented economy). Industries? gone, manpower? gone, finances? gone. — Zehir
How low "is" the birthrate actually, and likely to fluctuate.
You're talking about fantasy scenarios which simply aren't. — IvoryBlackBishop
How long will it actually take, in theory, for the population of China, India, Europe, etc to disappear, assuming that it "stays" at whatever birth rate your referencing ad infinitum, and doesn't fluctuate at all, which I believe is very unlikely to happen in practice, as opposed to abstract theory. — IvoryBlackBishop
So hypothetically, if China lost 1 person per year, and assuming that the rate continued fixed at this with never fluctuating.
Then, China's population should be nonexisting in about... err... 2,000,000,000 years from now... lmao... — IvoryBlackBishop
I'm 83. Hardly a boomer. — Frank Apisa
Nothing whatever wrong with my reading comprehension. — Frank Apisa
YOU...have been trying to explain to me that "If the position of an atheist is "creator DOES NOT exist", then the assertion is an assumption????"
Never in million years. Make that a billion years. — Frank Apisa
Look at both your statements here, they are really saying the same thing aren't they? So I certainly do see it. — Antidote
Would be interesting to meet some people like that... I never had that experience. Where I live people are generally happy with "there are things we don´t know", so that situation never comes up.Now, having made the assumption, and therefore incorporated the error, what influence has that error had on the people you know, the way you have chosen to lead your life, and the conversations you have had with others who you have also convincingly told that there is "no creator"? — Antidote
As I said before, introducing a "creator" does not answer any question. I am curious why as a scientist you do not see that.I say this as the scientist still, because we started from the position of "knowing nothing" which allowed us to remain "open" to the possibility of "maybe there is a creator" and so far, we could not prove it either way so although I say the above, it's still very much from the position that neither have been proved. — Antidote
To conclude morality is a real phemonenon which consists of a moral way that you can neglect. — xyzmix
As you saw, we didn't positively assert anything, because we already identified the flaw if we did so. There is not positive assertion of "a creator does exist", only a positive assertion that "we couldn't prove a creator doesn't exist". If the position of an atheist is "creator DOES NOT exist", then the assertion is an assumption and therefore in error. — Antidote
Keep in mind, that the listed price does not mean someone is buying or selling, only that there is (usually a substantial) offer at that price. — boethius
You are looking at this back to front. We cannot prove there is a creator, only to prove if there isn't one. Of which, we have not been able to do. — Antidote
So to categorically say, there is not a creator is to assume that whatever lies in growth or its opposite is not a creator, and yet scientifically, we were unable to prove that. — Antidote
In a dream lastnight, death walked into the room, as I was staring to see him — Punshhh
These figures don't show the true figure, firstly some of the infected people who are going to die, haven't died yet, they're still in life support. Secondly the Hospitals haven't been overwhelmed yet. — Punshhh
I tried looking up how Justin actually catches objects but it drew a blank on the www. However, I'm somewhat confident that Justin's catching ability involves actual mathematical calculations of a thrown object's trajectory and velocity and its own movements. — TheMadFool
Based on your reading of the article, how lethal do you think it is? — petrichor
Not of this magnitude! — Shawn
And, since the market has fallen so drastically, and such a drop has never occurred in the past, then I suppose the point is that people are really irrational... — Shawn
