Global Warming

Global Warming: Is it real or is it propaganda? I see no reason for such widespread effort to deceive on something like the climate. It makes perfect sense that things we do affect the climate, just as the climate can affect us. There are things that promote a healthier climate (for us, which is what the concern really is), and things that promote a climate that is not as healthy. That seems like logic, with no need for propoganda. |

How will Mankind recover from all of this? From The Hill: "Global coronavirus death toll passes 100,000" Yes, Pandemic 2020 is getting worse. Except for social distancing, nothing is making the situation better. Fake solutions have proven to be the fakes that they are. So, how are people to cope with the mass deaths? How are people to cope with the shortages due to hoarding? How are people to cope with a lack of employment as a result of Pandemic 2020? We recover by changing the way our societies are construed... It is not getting worse, we are just not over the peak. China is. Took them 3 months too. Mass deaths? Where? I don't see them piled up in the streets. 7.7 billion people on the planet, 108.000 dead in a pandemic is really not that many. Cope with hoarding? What hoarding? There is no hoarding here, plenty of food and supplies and well stocked supermarket. There are no shortages. Lack of employment is not really the case either. Most people who work at an office now do the same work at home. The joy of internet that this is possible! Many companies are adapting their services for instance by delivering food and now providing take-away. The only ones who might get in a tight spot are companies who cannot make a living at all like hotels, campings etc. Most have done well enough to get through 2 months without income, meaning it might get critical by now for them. Many others can still work their jobs as they work alone. My son in law is welder, he still works. Garages are still open and so on. I don't understand why people think up these doom scenarios that do not exist. To shed some light, personal experiences often trump what might be the big picture. Here in the US, there is indeed hoarding, lack of resources, and skyrocketing unemployment. Much of our work force is in the industries of sales (personal interactions) and customer service(also personal interactions) that cannot be done from home. I would say most of our jobs that are not 'high level' office, are also NOT set up to allow people to work from home. They want their 'proprietary' software in their own locations and not scattered in personal homes. So, here in America, the sudden changes are very real and more challenging than what most of the population has ever lived through. I agree it is not Dooms day, so to speak, but it may be a serious change of life 'as we know it', in terms of how society and economies conduct themselves. |

The Great Biden Deception

let's face it ! we expecting for someone who runs his mouth and bash or argue with Trump , but based in my experience , I'll preferred some that is smart and don't run his mouth as Trump does . I think the key is ignore whatever Trump says or do and show to the voters a real leadership and offer what we waiting for all this 4 years a REAL PRESIDENT . I did like what Regan said about immigration though... "I think the time has come that United States and our neighbors, particularly our neighbor to the south, should have a better understanding and a better relationship than we've ever had. And I think we haven't been sensitive enough to our size and our power. They have a problem with 40 to 50% unemployment. Now, this cannot arise without the possibility arising -with regard to that other country that we talked about, of Cuba and what it is stirring up- of the possibility of trouble below the border and we could have a hostile and strange neighbor on our border. Rather than making them-or talking about putting up a fence- why don't we work out some recognition of our mutual problems, make it possible for them to come here legally, with a work permit, and then while they're working and earning here, they pay taxes? And when they wanna go back, they can go back, and they can cross and open the borders both ways. " I like that he spoke about humans as humans, and not some demographic monster to be kept out. |

J.B should grab a seat and relax for the young candidates to run the race. Too late, what's left but two old guys and some crazy that won't drop out. Joe's the anti tRump. That's why he's running & will win. People are sick of this everyday drama we currently live with. I just miss the calm, educated, diplomatic, respectful leadership of Obama. I would love to have another one like him. But 'anti Obama' hatred and underappreciation/hypercritical double standard by which his leadership is branded by so many of the Trump era may keep such a person from being a front runner. Biden nor Trump come that close to his style of leadership, but Biden probably comes CLOSER. |

Since 'interracial' means it can also be viewed from a Caucasian's point of view... How do African American people in general feel when their adult child turns up with a Caucasian partner? Because I never have gotten the impressive they in general are going to jump for joy about it. How open, warm, accepting, welcoming would an Afr. American family be towards a white person? Can we get that perspective in? I've never heard anyone open up about that. My parents grew up in a country where 'white's had been very racist, unjust, and discriminatory towards them. And they were raising us in times along side the children of white families who they understandably associated with those previous values and beliefs and that previous treatment. So they were not thrilled when I dated a white male. However, my family, and it has been my experience with most families ( I mean parents, not the gen pop, which is a different thing) love people easily, whatever race, when they see that they are good people. They always were civil and polite to people, regardless. But they came around to respecting my choice in the men I dated, and caring for them on the level they witnessed the men care about me, regardless, as well. This first paragraph was exactly my and my parents experience when I was a child. The only difference is that they didn't want me to have English friends because you couldn't trust them. I married a Welsh man. I can totally relate. |

All Answers are acceptable, Just tell me your own opinion regarding this two. 🥰 I am personally more of a spoiler. Although, I can buckle down and discipline when something is dangerous or critical. I think the ideal parenting for children is a balance of at least one discipliner and one 'nurturer', also called a spoiler. I feel that partnership is best for the child and I feel it is often met with the mother/father dynamic. However, being single, I have to seek that complementary discipline to my nurturing from other family like older sibling and grandparent. Too much spoiling though, and you get a brat. Too much discipline, and you may create a very cold and detached adult, acting out in unwanted ways to get much needed attention. |

of course it will work. In LDR, on both ends there is flexibility to understand eachother then arguments. There is more trust on eachother and more caring just not to hurt by any foul expression. I believe they exist, yes. I believe it is very RARE for one to work long term without at some point becoming no longer 'long distance'. |

How dare you think you or anybody has the right to abuse a child. They rely on us to nourish and protect them. No matter what they do, they never deserve to be hit by a brutal adult who lost control. Go and beat yourself up or flagellate yourself with a barbed cat of nine tails and feel the pain you inflict on innocent children. The question was puerile and offensive. Nobody deserves any kind of a beating. Treat kids with respect and dignity. I'm disgusted with some so called adults who lack empathy for children. I was a child. No one 'flaggelated' me with a barbed cat of nine tails. I am not sure where they do that. Where I came from, swats on the behind was the extent of 'pain' inflicted. IT was never from losing control. IT is not necessarily any more empathetic to withhold a spanking than it is to give one. There is significant difference in spanking and BEATING. I am not disgusted by any parent choosing what is working with THEIR child in a BALANCED environment of support and discipline, excepting those things that would reasonably cause LONG TERM physical harm, and which do more bad than good. |

IF we use this definition of DUTY: a moral or legal obligation; a responsibility.
"it's my duty to uphold the law" than just 'being' is not fulfilling any duty as it is something that is not really a choice (except in cases of suicide) |

Hmm? Isn't that like trying to defend rape & murder by saying it has been around since mankind existed? Its strange how humans will justify and defend things which are bad for us or make absolutely no sense. I see it as collective insanity. No. Because I am not defending anything. I am just pointing out how difficult it is to pin down a 'why', when it has occurred under so many different circumstances, with so many different nations, regardless of any predictive factors. It would be like asking why do people rape or murder? I imagine if it can be answered, it is more multiple choice (many factors) than any one definitive reason. |

hi  i just want to know how do you think of spanking IMO i think its work sometimes I feel the same. We were spanked, like many in my demographic and my culture, and were better prepared in life because of it, in my opinion. We, for certain, came to have better 'coping' skills about things not always going our way or not always being able to do whatever makes us 'happy'. I do not think it works if it does not come from love and is not part of a balanced upbringing of discipline AND support/encouragement. |

So, the banking system Practically every country is in debt You pay that debt off , even though, it's not your debt Yet, the debt, continues to grow bigger, as does the amount you pay, to pay it off Is this capitalism or socialism, or some other 'ism' national debt IS our debt though It takes money to maintain a country, and 'countrymen' have the 'patriotism' to contribute to those 'debts' incurred .... at least that is how I see it. Okay but how much sense does it make to spend money you don't have or can't quickly pay back? What sense does it make for a nation with a set asset level to pay on loans that accumulate interest? Governments have a set revenue potential (barring catastrophes). Loan repayment and the interest on the outstanding balance must be included in the budget of the nation. That money owed prevents that nation from using the revenue to accommodate that nations needs. It generates a need to either reduce payment on the loan (causing a longer repayment period and longer/higher interest and/or penalties) or borrow even more money to meet its needs. Often at even higher interest rates. A government should never be permitted to spend more money than its revenue stream. Individual people should not be permitted to spend more money than their revenue stream. The whole concept of debt/credit is insanity. It inflates the actual value of goods and services causing more credit/debt to be needed for things where credit/debt should not be needed. While I can understand a persons willingness to live beyond their means with credit and debt, I can't understand why a nation would do so? It makes ABSOLUTELY no sense to me. I do not know Tom. Seems to me though that there has been 'debt' since before the country was founded. I imagine many things and many costs cannot be predicted. Wars and unexpected recessions or disasters and any number of other costs, for example, are not something we know until they have come and gone, which raises debt and money owed. |

I'm not racist but this seems like a bad situation: This is right from the CDC website and the most recent figures (2017): Chlamydia - Negro women are 5 X more likely to have it than whites Negro men are 6.6 X more likely Gonorrhea - Negro women are 7.6 X more likely to have it than whites Negro men are 8.9 X more likely than whites Syphilis - Negro women are 5.2 X more likely than whites to have it than whites Negro men are 4.5 X more likely than white men Of course these figures are for the US and I have no idea what they'd be in ahh England for example. But why is this? Looked at another way, Chlamydia rates for BW are 1.4% and for BM 0.9 percent Gonorrhea rates for BW are .044% and for BM .066% Syphillis rates for BW are .006% and for BM .03% ...so chances of catching it are still very low Some reasons for the disparities are listed here https://www.cdc.gov/std/health-disparities/default.htm |
