    The natives won't accept a Nice every couple of months.

    So either the security services prevent it from happening by any means possible, or the natives will do so through ethnic cleansing.

    Sure, in the same way as Japan ... if no one wants to have it just put it on the Federal reserves balance sheet and forget about it.

    Absolutely nothing, the same thing TPP would have done to China's trading position.

    Even if demand was increasing we would run into ecological issues.

    Alt-right was used by a very small fringe.

    The adoption by the mainstream far right like Breitbart, some of the Reddit crowd and Youtube e-celebs did seem to lag the media's use of the term from my point of view. Not that it matters, the media likes to use it and Breitbart&Co don't really care. The media thinking up a new term and then trying to slowly transform it into Nazi in the sheep's mind doesn't really hurt them worse than the media just starting off with Nazi.

    "What leads so many people to say that investigative journalism is a sham?"

    The bias of the media towards the status quo. They will make some token gestures about shit which doesn't matter, but when something important to the establishment like TPP or immigration or undeniable Social Justice TRUTHS are concerned the media exposes itself.

    "If there is no free media, how do we trust any news."

    We pick out whatever suits our prejudices ... for a lot of us this leads to more racist views than if we had a media we could trust, but alas.

  18. With HIV rates between 15-20% the gay community is giving it a really good try, fortunately for them drugs saved them.

  19. Guess god really does hate them then, because 1 in 5 have AIDS in the US.

    Or maybe common sense should prevail. OK Cupid results should be taken with a pinch of salt considering the many historical research papers on gay number of partners into account, as well as the AIDS numbers.

    PS. also I said average, not median ... with 2% of gay men having 23% of the sex on OK Cupid with no mention of similar numbers for heterosexuals, it's likely the average is a fair bit higher.

  20. Very rarely with 100s of partners a year, yet this is "not uncommon" in the gay male community.

    They are on average promiscuous on a level heterosexuals just don't get close to.

    Lets say we just keep shoveling food aid at the third world and they keep procreating. What will you do when their populations become unsustainable where they are? Do you then propose to spread them out all over the rest of the world? With the inevitable ethnic strive that will cause because the native population will have vast advantages economically and will be resented for it, while the third world immigrants take over control of the nations through the ballot box.

    Do you see good things coming from this? Your way leads to a world drowning in blood.

    Unless the singularity comes to save us first, which I kinda doubt.

  24. Luckily most of it is covered by water which is pretty good at evening things out.

  25. The predictions of pretty much every climate model from 20 years ago have been wildly pessimistic though.

    Was there significant warming last century? Yes. Are climate scientists any good at predicting the climate lately? No.
