For some unknown reason gendao is never suspended for personal attacks. On many occasions I have been the subject of such attacks.

Can't wait for this new but short reboot of the X-Files which will begin showing in January. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_1SmJUBT5q0

What does this post have to do with the subject at hand?

Wormhole entry in the movie 'Interstellar'. Couldn't find a clear clip of the Interstellar black hole entry. https://www.youtube.com/watch?annotation_id=annotation_433277387&feature=iv&src_vid=6VPEtUgNJj4&v=bGj03F6AgtI Dr. Leonard Susskind lectures on black holes.

According to what research I have read, we are already in the 6th mass extinction. The extinction of keystone species will rapidly collapse ecosystems. Pollinators being threatened with mass die off with neonicotinoids can rapidly collapse food supplies and thus starvation en masse.

Nuclear? Fukushima is a disaster and will be for decades.

Which groups?

The Grand Canyon is becoming a commercial enterprise with homes, shopping and a tramway to transport tourists down to the river which will all be constructed on the East rim. This is absolutely preposterous that one of the great earthly treasures is being exploited for profit! http://www.nytimes.com/2014/12/04/us/where-2-rivers-meet-visions-for-grand-canyon-clash.html?_r=0 http://grandcanyonescalade.com/

Your fractured narrative regarding global warming is completely flawed. 97% of all climatologists agree that humans are the cause for AGW. Have you read any of the research or are you listening to the corporate shills that are paid to spew propaganda? For a further understanding of the earth's complex biosphere, a primer in complex non-linear dynamics is appropriate. Dr. Oreskes is a climate historian at Harvard University. She discusses the propaganda model that big tobacco companies used to deceive the public regarding cigarette smoking. The same model is being used by global warming deniers to deceive the public.

In your entire narrative here, you have failed to mentioned the problems of human nature. Avarice, sociopathology, psychopathology, dishonesty, war and the failure to respect others boundaries. That is where government is necessary so that rules are instituted to prevent chaos. History is replete with examples of the lowest of human behavior.

Also I am tired of hearing about British royalty!

I believe that law applies most everywhere that I know of. I always stop for a bus in that situation. Err on the side of caution.

How fast were you driving? Which state?

I could find nothing on tensile strength and load bearing properties which are two important considerations before using this material. Out here in the SW straw bale houses were all the rage for a period of time. However, when I inquired as to the potential of mold within the walls, no one could answer such a basic question except that the straw is dry and completely sealed which gave me a non answer. I have never seen a straw bale that was completely dry.

This is clearly off topic and should be moved to the pit.

You should read more as opposed to believing the propaganda regarding his birth certificate. The state of Hawaii presented his birth certificate for all to see. End of story. I started this thread and persons such as yourself have derailed it. From your study of Buddhism, what have you learned besides fundamentalist blather which condemns sinners, espouses judgement days and so forth. Sinners? That sounds like fundamentalist Christian ideology.

Yeah your posts are replete with assumptions about me when I was critiquing your suppositions.

Obviously you have not read Herbert Spencers revisionism of Darwin. Spencer posited a survival of the fittest supposition which was a popular theme in the early to mid 1900's. Species do not survive as individuals, but as a group via altruism and cooperation, which Darwin's work proves. Darwin has been revised by advocates of Spencer, Leo Strauss et al. Amazon's page for Spencer. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias%3Dstripbooks&field-keywords=herbert+spencer

Your cynical worldview reminds me of one who believes that the state is watching your every move.

Your narrative is based more on the unfounded belief of 'Social Darwinism' than logic. "The state makes all decisions"? Where did you come up with that notion?

His so called logic is hardly such.

People are a dwindling resource? Population is not dwindling, but increasing. Fossil fuel resources are on the decline unless you believe in abiotic oil pseudoscience. Top soil loss worldwide translates to lesser amounts of food crops which translates to food shortages. Drought and drinking water being polluted. Deforestation etc. There is much more, but I doubt you want your worldview disturbed . http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2006/03/slow-insidious-soil-erosion-threatens-human-health-and-welfare

Then your street should be bought by a corporation and said corporation can charge a toll every time you come and go. I seriously doubt you have thought about that one.

Well said! Actually, Somalia has virtually no government and virtually anyone with a few guns can become a warlord.
