    "I don't think it works like that. Crimes like this are reported to and investigated by local police..."

    I get that locally, since it is California, handled as a local case the penalty might be light. Yet seeing as how police generally lose their shit and become damn near homicidal when someone kills one of there own I really can't see them soft-balling someone who caused an officer to kill an innocent person. I would think they would do everything they could to bring the maximum amount of retribution to this man, and honestly I think they really need to do so. The punishment for attempting this sort of thing needs to be absolutely severe, and if the death of an officer or civilian is the result they really should be looking at the death penalty.

    "They have a point, these are major protests and it took CNN 2 days or call it 3 days before they reported on it..."

    The fact that CNN is reporting it after only two or three days speaks to the severity of the protests really. I've watched them remain blind to human plight for over a week when EVERYONE, even the UN, was reporting something they didn't seem to want to lend credence to. That is why I get my news anywhere and everywhere else.

    "And something that is only in style for about 6 months... I have a Tag from 2001. I have a Rolex from 1966. A 4 year old iWatch is trash... Not a good investment or accessory."

    As someone who is wearing the latest watch from apple I would trade it with this gentleman for his Tag in a heartbeat. I have this watch knowing full well it will be shit in 2 years. The next watch I buy is a Tag or something that has old school gears in it. There is something timeless about a device built to precision that is nothing more than metal gears synchronized to perfection.

  9. You stress Russia as a propaganda source and contrast it against China who seems self involved. I find it humorous that our people, as someone in the US, complains about "Russian interference" while living in a country that absolutely spent decades interfering with other countries. The history of attempts to kill Castro are a great source of humor, but you would have to be blind to think we don't do the same thing to other countries as has been alleged of Russia. After all, we can't really prove any of this. I can't prove US manipulation of other countries. Well, beyond the declassified. Attempts to overthrow governments, manipulation of their people and black ops designed to change the shape of the world are just par for the course.

    Still... it is no surprise to me that the governments of this world are playing a sick game playing fast and loose with the truth. I think we need to keep in mind that old saying that we should believe none of what we hear and only half of what we see.

    "I know it may come as a shock to you but a lot of people are skeptical when you come out of the woodwork on the eve of an election and make claims with forged or no proof of some illicit activity decades ago. Some people might not believe you. Imagine that."

    Honestly the real problem now is that, after the world record tantrum that we have seen since the election of Chump, that I can't believe a word that a democrat speaks. One year of the "resistance" where it would seem that there is no depth of depravity that they will not sink into to somehow damage this asshat. How do we respect or believe what they have to say at this point?

    Rationalism is fucking GONE. These people are going to attack this president no matter what. They will say anything. Do anything and run fast and loose with the facts until the day he leaves office. While I deeply loathe Chump I really hope he gets a full eight year term just so that these crazy left wing nutters suffer for eight years.

    It likely doesn't help that their liberal policies are welcoming to people who want nothing to do with being productive members of society. When I talk to friends who aren't doing well economically I tend to suggest ways they can get ahead of things that are hurting them. Mostly it is telling them to get out and then stay out of debt. I'll not elaborate, but there are people in this world who gave up on working to better their lot. It is really sad, but when we facilitate failure we can't be surprised when people continue to fail as adults. While it is hurtful to society that there are places like SF where their irresponsible radical liberal views hold people down; what is so much worse is the cultural beliefs held by some that because that are X they will never amount to anything. That "the man" is holding them down. That the world conspires somehow against them.

    I am deeply disgusted by people who persist these discouraging lies. The hopeless and broken wretches who seek to bring those around them down as an excuse for their own failures in life. These are truly worthless human beings who are nothing but a determent to mankind.

    OMG, I need some steel wool and some borax soap. I must... wash... the liberal stink....

    I understand the point you want to make here, and in some ways it has merit. It is actually close to some of my own thoughts on the subject. One thing I need to impress upon you is the type of Conservative I am. In short that the bill of rights is an awesome document, I want a smaller less expensive government, I don't want my resources wasted by the government and I'm not a big fan of social programs.

    I'm pro-not-my-choice, because it isn't my choice. At the same time it is the murder of a human being so I would prefer people didn't do it, and I want it stopped after the first trimester.

    I voted no on prop 8 in California. The "defense of marriage act" I believe they called it. It bothers me that anyone feels it is their place to get involved in someone else's marriage, and that in the end it is only to "protect" the word "marriage". Some called me liberal for that. I pointed out that over reaching "demandy" government is a liberal thing. They couldn't counter cause it is true. :P

    I don't think you should be able to force anyone to make a cake or provide services to someone they do not wish to provide services too. I don't care how stupid their reason is... slavery is slavery. The democrat party was pro-slavery long ago, facilitate illegally migrated labor that pays slave wages and want to enslave us all in a socialist nightmare. Thus the democrat party is, was and will continue to be the party of slavery for many decades to come! I could never vote democrat, but the party isn't really liberal in a true sense, are they?

    I could go on, but the fact is my wife makes as much as I do, is about to clear her doctorate and was always my equal. I'm not some new age feminist. That opinion is pretty basic to many conservative types already, and often driven by religion (definitely not Mormons). Honestly I think the world really started to change in the 1920s and later that really started moving us here, and true sexism is pretty rare these days; in at least the circles I dwell. Maybe you need better company to keep?

    I may share some liberal values, but this doesn't make me feel as much a liberal as it makes me think you might have a little conservative in you. ;)

    You really should post non-anonymously as you are a fun read.

    I'm a big fan of reuse myself. I also don't care much for buying the latest and greatest just for the sake of having the latest and greatest. I do live in California, and they try to force us to use those nasty reusable burlap bags. I always just pay ten cents and whenever they suggest I buy the burlap ones I tell them that I am saving the plastic bags to build an effigy of liberal voters to burn in protest of the law requiring them to charge for bags.

    Most laugh it off as the joke it was intended to be, and I'm just glad I can still either use them as bags for small trash cans or eventually return the surplus to be recycled.

    As for that flamebait poster, go get em. My wife was a math major and is closing on her doctorate so I'm not someone who will even take the time to reply to someone like that.

    Actually you can't build a single greenhouse and compare temperatures over time given various atmospheric conditions as you would need multiple instances in the same and varied conditions to truly determine anything meaningful.

    Boatload? Is that a metric boatload???

    The world averages temperatures are going up at an alarming rate by who's opinion. I'm not alarmed.

    Recently they found that increased geologic stresses were causing ice shelves to move at a higher rate in Antarctica. ...but you say this is all 100% settled with such precision?!?!?! :P

    All in all however I found your post an interesting read and quite honest. I'm definitely not saying that man caused climate change isn't possible. I just don't think it is as critical as some make it, and that improvements we will make over the upcoming decades will prevent us from ever getting close to a real problem. If a real problem was ever even possible in the first place. As you said the starfish "themselves promoted by warmer water"; so are plants promoted by CO2. We live in a world of balance that didn't really need you to come along and meddle with it, and this planet will still be thriving long after you are dead.

    The starfish have had population booms before, and they will have them again. This planet is a massive collection of cycles that I sincerely doubt we are capable of factoring completely, and as such nothing will ever be settled. We will continue to be born , live, discover and die. The sky really isn't falling.

    As for the article suggesting that physics could be technology controlled by some alien life I was referring to a recent article here. Likely pure fantasy, but I can't say with 100% certainty that it is untrue. However I do like to use religion as an example of something that can't be proven, but is often fervently believed. Typically I use this to show how much some of the most confident of the climate change crowd seem to have almost a religious reverence for the subject and are devout believers who will attack heretics to something in which they merely believe deeply. Yet they are unable to actually ever prove, and likely will never as they would need many earths under the exact same base conditions to accomplish proving it out completely. Something that is entirely impossible.

    Before you start please don't try to explain computer simulations this and test gas chamber that... it is just ridiculous to think we can ever actually prove something out completely with so few factors or computer simulation. All you prove in those cases is that a gas in a chamber will do x when you apply y, and that when you program a computer to do something it does it.

    That of course is not to say that we shouldn't consider the possibility and move responsibly in the appropriate direction. Most even might agree with that statement. Unfortunately the "move responsibly" is completely subjective, and I don't feel either political party is apt to facilitate such a move.

    I should apologize to you that I might somehow link you, an old school hippie, to the antifa garbage that has taken your place. That I would link you to someone who fervently believes that solar panels are the way while they completely disregard the fact that massive pollution was caused creating them.

    I do see what is happening in the field. I see cities as a cancer upon this planet, and I see that the majority of people in those cities tend to be liberals. Another cancer upon this planet. Do you remember sir, decades ago, when we had a deposit on bottles? When we returned bottles to be cleaned and reused? Glass bottles once actually held a value. Today they are broken upon a beach.

    Obama was a Wall Street guy. So are the Clinton family and so was Bernie when he got paid off with cash and an airplane.
