Oromagi: Technology is improving rapidly, I will make a post with a huge list of technology improvements that occurred in the 30s.
Singularity: So your theory is that technology will never increase.
Yet another indication that singularity is trolling and this thread is not meant to be taken seriously.

Okay I already showed you a link in post 51 demonstrating that United States birth rates in the 30s dropped about 25% from what they were in the 20s (which are obviously the actual relevant decades) so the fact that you are still speculating "well idk what the birth rates between the 20s and 30s were but maaaybe they went up because... something about other countries birth rates or something hurr dee hurr hurr durr" indicates that you are 100% guaranteed to be trolling at this point and there is no need for this conversation to continue.

The same method that gives us 8.6 million deaths between 2010 and 2020 also says there were 3.18 million deaths from 2010 to 2015 and 1.32 million from 2015 to 2020.
I see no flaws in this whatsoever.

@oromagi
Population in 2010 - 309.3mil
Population in 2015 - 320.7mil
Population in 2020 - 331 mil
Growth reduction - about .4%
Deaths by famine between 2015 and 2020 - about 1.3mil

I understand that you say the birth rate went up in the 30s because people are more likely to want to have expensive children during an economic depression. That is fine, you are allowed to think that... Do you have any statistics to back it up though?
By the way I calculated the number of deaths in the great famine of 2010-2020 as about 8.6 million.

@Singularity
Given the expected increase in births as a result if a depression and bad record keeping of more rural areas, changes in population is fair. Quite frankly the way I suggested to determine deaths should be accepted without a counter plan from oro.
If you think the methodology described in post 36 is reliable that's fine, you may think that if you wish. I won't argue against it. In fact would you like to know how many people died in the great famine of 2010-2020 as calculated using that methodology?

@Singularity
I believe it is true if memory serves correct
Now I must ask my next question, though it might not be my last.
Do you think taking the difference in population growth between two consecutive decades and using no other factors is an accurate method for determining whether a mass famime occurred in a country or do you think that is an innaccurate method to use?
Created:

@Singularity
Oromagi says a change in population growth rate was the sole justification used for that claim. Neither of you directly link the paper in question which is why I must ask you this question:
Is what oromagi said a truth or a lie?

Yeah good point, the U.S. is definitely the center of it so they could conceivably just be limiting visitors from the U.S. specifically.

It is more curious because its inverse from the US to China, CA820 is not scheduled.
I believe China isn't allowing flights into their country at the moment. Something about a pandemic.

I must have misunderstood. I thought when you said public prayer was outlawed that you were saying that it was made illegal.
Created:
The actual name Lucifer comes from the Bible but is not used in the Bible as a name for the devil. The idea that Lucifer is the name of the devil is purely an invention of Christian pop culture.

@fauxlaw
After telling us we essentially have liberty to say whatever we damn well please, accepting all consequence of such speech, as is prudent, we interpret by back-up and say, arbitrarily, and incorrectly, that our freedom of speech is curtailed in the public practice of religion - any religion. Prayer, in public is taboo.
I must have missed that one, when was public prayer outlawed?

@User_2006
I was on the fence regarding this topic but now that everyone who came out against worker-owned companies (except for Trent) has been challenged to back up their assertions and have all failed to do (such as WPs assertion that worker-owned companies don't and can't exist or user_2006s assertion that they are inherently unfair) so I am more inclined to be in favor of worker-owned companies.

Then that's idiotic. You are fully capable of functioning is society. A judge would not rule in favor of them. Your stuff is questionable and out there, but you certainly can take care of yourself and live on your own.
While it is possible for normal-functioning people to make... "Out-there" posts (understatement much?)... Unless you have access to some information about Alec that the rest of us do not then you have no basis for claiming that such is necessarily the case here.

@fauxlaw
However, theirs is the burden of proof that your condition and actions merit the judgment of conservatorship.
Pretty easy burden to bear in this case if we assume Alec's posts on the subject of money are not jokes on his part especially considering his parents are fairly wealthy.

You are correct that this is considered out-of-the norm nn America. I was not aware this was common in Europe. About how often does it happen over in Britian? (correct me if I am wrong but iirc that is where you are from).

the answer is not digital contraceptives; it is abstinence. Those who do their part in social distancing, including just staying home, have a high percentage to 100% chance of avoiding infection, thus curtailing spread of the virus.
I would argue that the chances of Supas idea spreading the coronavirus is actually zero percent, not just a low chance. You seem to disagree. Would you agree to a debate on the topic?

@Dr.Franklin
that has everything to do with the name, search debating website on a new search engine and is it the first choich but DART is on 2nd or 3rd page
That is a good thing and something the owner should arrive to keep the same. It is likely the primary reason for why the majority of spam bots target DDO and not DART. (I know a few have come here in the last few months but still not even as many as DDO had back at it's lowest spam bots period).

@User_2006
Before saying "DDO IS TRASH", please take some seconds to acknowledge that DDO was once more glory than present-day DArt.
Okay. I acknowledge that past DDO was once superior to present DART. That said...
DDO IS TRASH
By which I mean this... How is it you are just now leaving a website that has had a population of over 99% spam bots for over a year? If you didn't notice all the accounts are spam bots then that says something about your bar for content quality doesn't it?

I suppose the better question would be, are Satan, Lucifer and the Devil all regarded as one entity by Christians?
Yes, most do. Seeing these three as one and the same is not based on the Bible obviously (the name Lucifer is in the Bible but not as a synonym for the devil and it is debatable whether Satan is the devil) but there are other things believed by many Christians not based on the Bible as well so it isn't that big a deal.

I am not sure whether any English translations use the word snake. It was probably a snake though. I am not sure there are any other types of serpents that match the description. It is quite possible the original language did not make the distinction.

So anyway now you know the claim you made in post 40:
Yeah, you are the worker who packs paper(or scientific equipment, whatever) every single day, PLUS co-manager, PLUS regional salesman.
is a false claim (because you now know it is possible for a paper packer to not have to do the job of a co-manager and regional salesman).
I am curious what your new response to the OP is now that you know this.
