people go to and away from religion because of illness and traumatic events

I see the pattern here now. If you don't like Dr.Franklin so much then just ignore him.

Where it's from is immaterial in this context. Rather, I am concerned with how it is being used in this thread. In the context of this thread (how it is being used here), it is certainly not nonsensical.

the happier RM's spirit will be ;)

is ultimately my job to decide.

In this case, to the extent that there is a clear purpose to the content, it is not nonsensical.

To the extent that everyone keeps their "press F" posts to a minimum, then the repetitiveness is not excessive, because each post conveys a unique message of support (i.e. a message of support specific to an individual person).

There is obviously room for disagreement

Posting or bumping spam threads,

Which part of the CoC does that violate?

people go to and away from religion because of illness and traumatic events, which is why I find this article so silly and anyone who would accept it as fact overly naive.

This is not a spam thread. It's borderline

but there is a clear purpose to it

I hope that it's true but I can't say I believe it to be so.

you are free to thing whatever you will, read my posts in the religion forum so you can make an informed opinion.

you know more than I about him, seemed a pretty good call out by you, I got some enjoyment out of it anyway.

hahahaha, ouch, well played

just stimulating discussion/debate

When you have magic on your side literally anything you can think of is possible.

sure however the argument is that the climate change "solutions" would restrict what people can do and would make their lives not as enjoyable

For me not having my own vehicle and being forced to take public transportation is a big one.

would hamper my enjoyment and freedom to do what I want, when I want.

My Dad has a friend, few storms back they had to evacuate Florida, his friend has a Tesla.  The range on it couldn't get him out of Florida before it need a recharge which takes about an hour.  Just an example of what I don't want.

you could be right, but I haven't heard any such predictions, but again if there is a life after this one then who cares, if there isn't and life is basically meaningless then who cares, you see it just doesn't even matter.  As a Nihillist I would think you'd understand that :)

so long as you end first wgaf?

Can you buy morality, though?

Nobody wants the planet to get hotter. But is preventing such an outcome worth the astonishing cost that it would require us all to pay?

If man is natural, then man made machines must also be natural.

Green hardliners are not more moral than everyone else because they act on their desires to live comfortably as everyone else does, which results in carbon emissions. They might be willing to pay a little extra to lower their carbon footprint, but overall it's a drop in the bucket, and it's also a luxury that many lower-class Americans couldn't afford.

Solar and wind energy are faced with the problems of storage and slow capture, which makes them an unsuitable replacement for conventional fuels on an industrial scale with current technologies. A full transition would cost tens of trillions of dollars and devastate the economy, undoing a whole decade or two of GDP growth (if not more). The new jobs created by this transition would not be enough to justify its enormous cost, and even after the transition was finished we'd be faced with chronic energy shortages (or at least compared to the energy we're able to use daily as of the present).

The only way forward is a slow transition, which'll be completed by the end of the century. It entails gradual phasing in of stricter emissions and waste standards. Trump's probably going in the wrong direction by deregulating dirty industries to the extent that he has, and perhaps in withdrawing from the Paris Agreement, though I don't know how tolerable the provisions of that agreement were.

Dr. Franklin IS cool.

dude, please never make a thread like this again. It doesn't move the conversation anywhere; it only starts a flame war.

Nothing that can't be fixed by the Earth and the Sun.

My measure to prevent this is to ban smash and dash.

The husband can find a better job that doesn't require a college degree

 It can be achieved and according to the University of Georgetown, there are 30 million jobs that pay $55000 or more per year in the US that don´t require a college degree.

They just need to do research on high paying jobs that don´t require a college degree and pick a better job.  Work smart, not inherently hard.  The husband picks a job he likes, gets paid way more than working at McDonalds, they can afford the costs of pregnancy.  Then they can set the kid up for adoption if they want.

DATA.  YOU NEED DATA.  FIND SOME DATA.

What do you mean "most poor people are bad with money"?  Based on what?

Paul Niehaus, one of GiveDirectly's founders, does think cash can have long-lasting effects. He points to a similar study in Uganda where the government gave people money and people's incomes went up — and stayed up, even years later. People had used the money to start small businesses, like metal working or tailoring clothes.

Niehaus says for him, the most interesting results from the new research were the improvements in mental health. Getting money made people happier, less stressed out. [LINK]

UNICEF provided the equivalent of $1 million to the pilot, and Davala and Standing gave the local government regular updates on the success of the pilot every three months.

Their research showed that the vast majority of those who took part in the study used the additional income to invest in other income-generating opportunities, like livestock.

The money also allowed children to pursue their education, instead of working to help make ends meet at home. The overall indication of the pilot, was that it could give people the ability to bring themselves out of poverty, and raise a healthier, better-educated populace. [LINK]

Climate change is natural. We have no control over it.

What if the mother automatically received $20,000.00 per year per-child.

The husband/boyfriend isn't pregnant, and since they shouldn't be allowed to commit smash and dash

 they would be providing an income for the pregnant woman and the child in the event that the pregnant woman can´t work.

Why are you pro choice?  If you don’t want the kid, you can set the kid up for adoption.

T-Series is a corporation, YouTube music is a corporation, YouTube Music hit 100 mill before T-Series, T-Series didn't break any records. Pewds did.
