  1. A bold voice in Baltimore

    Thom Hartmann states the problem well. I stated similar thoughts earlier in this thread.
  2. A bold voice in Baltimore

    Accurate stats are difficult to come by given there is no Federal database. These are the best I can find at the moment which details several major cities on racial breakdown percentage regarding what race is most likely a target of police killings. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2014/08/24/1324132/-How-Often-are-Unarmed-Black-Men-Shot-Down-By-Police. Other stats are included in this lengthy article.
  3. A bold voice in Baltimore

    As always you seem to have all the answers, which by the way are talking points from media propagandists such as Fox News and so forth. Have you ever been to an inner city where minorities have been marginalized to the extreme? Poverty, homelessness are the norm. What you are doing is blaming the victim who has almost no control whatsoever. Birth control and reproductive education provided by the government would alleviate unwanted pregnancies. Here in the 21st century, that is frowned upon by right wing extremists and advocates of so called religious liberty. These problems are not isolated events, but are structural/endemic and are not separate from our society.
  4. A bold voice in Baltimore

    The problems are racism, low paying jobs, poverty, so called trickle down economics, neoliberalism, income inequality, poor education and so forth for starters. African Americans have been marginalized by this nation!
  5. Why not show for the Primordial Chaos forum an update on the right hand side as to the last post/topic. It only reads 'protected forum'.
  6. I seem to have misplaced my thread...

    The forums in question disappeared for some time today and now are back.
  7. Highlights of the full length movie posted here on Youtube link and is available streaming on Netflix. Just started watching and the treatment by adults to use these children for religious political purposes is alarming and sick. http://www.netflix.com/WiPlayer?movieid=70054721&trkid=13462100&tctx=-99%2C-99%2C176ad3d8-c3e0-4ea4-9817-3bde1d06498e-142231104
  8. Is quantum physics bunk?

    I agree that "in the mind" is an overarching view which leads to all sorts of complicated inferences/conjectures.
  9. Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gong - Complete Level 2

    What is the difference between the Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gung Level 1 and Bak Fu Sunn Yee Gung Complete Level 1? Two different videos teaching the same thing? Same for level two.
  10. The sticks the children are using is in preparation for the real thing.
  11. Exactly! The fear is densely somatized with few exceptions. Suppressed emotions when projected are dangerous to the society at large.
  12. I wrote the OP regarding the brainwashing of children by religious zealots described in the movie. The vaccination comments are off topic. Did you watch the movie or have a comment?
  13. Is quantum physics bunk?

    You keep referring to the wrong math. So far in all your writings you have not provided one well written practical application of the so called right math. Proof is required!
  14. Is quantum physics bunk?

    For anyone interested in furthering their understanding regarding the process of scientific models, Thomas Kuhn's, 'The Structure of Scientific Revolutions' classic work is highly recommended. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0226458083/ref=s9_psimh_gw_p14_d0_i2?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=desktop-1&pf_rd_r=14HG3HVWQS7TDZDSPT82&pf_rd_t=36701&pf_rd_p=1970559082&pf_rd_i=desktop
  15. Providing access to NVIC, which is a anti vaccination site, engages in so called research that is not peer reviewed, not factual, but is based on anecdotal evidence, not science. The quote below from your recent post denotes a broad generalization by using the terms 'they', 'people', which implies the unquestioning acceptance by whomever, which is insulting to persons who take time to think critically.
  16. The problem with your narrative is one of not understanding how science works. The purveyors of the anti vaccination movement focus on the small amount of uncertainty regarding side effects. There is always a small uncertainty regarding a particular vaccine, which may have an unexpected effect. E.g. if a lay person reads from the PDR regarding side effects of the measles virus vaccine, it may cause an alarming response, but the PDR is a reference and as far as I know does not contain a statistical base for each drug. The adverse reactions are always small in number relative to the general population. http://www.pdr.net/drug-summary/attenuvax?druglabelid=1350 I suppose it is much better for such diseases such as bubonic plague and small pox to run rampant, in your world view?
  17. What are you watching on Youtube?

    For all you Guillermo Del Toro fans, his latest movie 'Crimson Peak' is due to be released in October. However, I am looking forward to the second season of 'The Strain' due out in July.
  18. These are the type that want a theocracy in the U.S. They believe that the U.S. is a Christian nation founded on biblical principles and should return to such. Very dangerous ideology. I suppose that basic civics is not being taught in their schools regarding separation of church and state. Come to think of it these children probably don't go to school or are home schooled.
  19. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    San Paulo Brazil with a population of 20 million has been hit by a severe drought may run out of water by June. http://www.ryot.org/sao-paulo-south-americas-largest-city-will-run-water-june/924803
  20. Living Family Permaculture Vs Dead Cities

    I have been to Lake Mead several times over the last few years and the lake has reached a new low of 132.19 ft. below full pool level (41.1% of full pool). Crops, irrigation, hydroelectric power generation, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, parts of Mexico and Southern California are effected. The lake level is currently 15 ft. above the first level of rationing. http://lakemead.water-data.com/ http://www.arachnoid.com/NaturalResources/
  21. Would you please explain what categorizes evil thoughts?
  22. Super enzyme Serrapeptase and Lower dantian

    These enzymes may break off blood clots during the dissolution process which can lead to serious problems. As well as interfering with blood viscosity.
  23. You attribute all the above with no evidence, whatsoever! Scare tactics!
