Hypothetically, even if Jesus came back from the dead, what does that have to do with his self described “followers” being child molesters? What does that have to do with non believers being outraged at the various denominations reluctant at confronting the molesters?

The religious do not have a monopoly on morality, ethics or the social contract. If they did, the secular people wouldn’t be outraged whenever a religious leader got caught diddling a kid.

Or worried that the site would be crushed up and used for road fill.

We had easy solutions to covid, but people decided that “their way of life” was more important then other people’s lives.

I hate Hollywood.

I doubt they’d be a net increase. So much CO2 is from industry and average people aren’t going to know how or were to get their own coal or oil.

It means industry and industrial pollution stops.

I don’t see how this is anything but shooting themselves in the foot in the long run.

I mean, that’s been Russia’s MO for the past three years.

Considering the economies of areas with clean, modern hygiene vs a lack of hygiene, I’d say yes, yes it is.

This is more stubborn, cultural issues. Russia has poor areas because the wealthy don’t feel rich without poor people to look down on and poor people in those areas view themselves as more rugged and strong without modern conveniences(although once a rural Russian tries some modern living while in school, they don’t go home). Similar circumstances with rural Americans.

Well, yes, but in both cases, it’s manufactured poverty. It’s really not hard to make basic cesspit and keep it away from water sources. This is a solved problem.

You know, there’s a hook worm epidemic in the southern US that’s effecting children’s mental development is being cause by a lack of proper waste management. Explains a lot of things about both communities.

From how understand it, they have toilets in the sticks, but they don’t automatically fill themselves. They have a bucket of water that they pour into the toilet to flush it. It’s also not so much that they don’t have automatic toilets, but that they didn’t even know they exist. The poor, wilderness communities that Putin is pulling from are that isolated from the rest of the word. The American equivalent would be the Appalachian people.

Here’s a clip of Zelenskyy referencing the toilet situation.

There were reports of Russian soldiers in Ukraine not knowing what an “Automatic Toilet” was. They’re grabbing people from so far in the boonies, that they bring in buckets of water to flush their toilets. That also means that either Russian barracks don’t have toilets or they’re shipping their forces to the front lines without any training.

I’m explaining their rational for the theater. Not mine.

Lol. All this is performance anyway. If Harris voiced her disagreement with Biden, the right wing media would have a field day with how disorganized the Dems are and how they can’t be trusted to lead.

Cause his VP isn’t.

That’s close to the original Space Battleship Yamato. By the time earthlings got FTL travel and super weapons, they ran out of proper shipyards and material. They did have enough to retrofit the sunken battleship Yamato from the underside(they already had underground cities to escape the orbital bombings).

He’s a fucking parody of being rich. If you wrote Trump from scratch for fiction, it’s be discarded as ridiculous. Hell, I know people who don’t like Captain Planet for unrealistic villains, but here we are.

Education is only as valuable as what motivates it. In America, we’re taught to only care about future employment opportunities(and the big game). You will get pushed down if you try to get out of the lane you were assigned. Trump supporters work backwards and have retroactively decided that Trump is smart because he’s rich(who knows how rich really) even thought he talks like a child.

Considering what has become of Russia and Ukraine since the fall of the USSR, I’d say that Ukraine was just getting sucked dry by the elites in Moscow while they were a part of it.
