Yes, parents being allowed to raise their children is a problem. Let's confiscate all children at birth, then have parenting tests and assign babies to the prospective parents to score highest on the test. We can add a bidding process too to ensure that kids go to families with the resources to look after them so they'll never be a drain on society.
Depends on your tap water. Where I live, the tap water tastes and looks great. In the city 30 miles away, tap water is oddly white and fizzy and tastes weird. People who live there can benefit from buying my bottled tap water.
Fascists were never sweet and reasonable-sounding, nor did they try to be. The people don't want sweet and reasonable, the people want safety and order to put a halt to the chaos they perceive around them.
Actually, when I hold the coin in the northern hemisphere it simply slides down and falls off from around the equator. All we need to do for northern launches is allow the rocket to slide along the ocean first and cushion it against the forces involved, which shouldn't be too hard since even a coin manages the trip without damage.
If an electric car were cheaper than a gas car, I and a lot of other people wouldn't care if I could never charge at home and had to drive to the nearest charging station and leave it there for hours. I know there's one at the library, I could just read a book while I wait.
The trouble is that "arbitrary" can be arbitrarily interpreted to mean anything. A declaration that spells out the exact circumstances in which interference with privacy is acceptable or not is more useful in framing the narrative, even if it'd be frequently violated.
If we'd listened to the global cooling warnings, we'd have the Montreal protocol banning CFCs and we'd have greatly reduced atmospheric aerosols and halted the expansion of the ozone hole. Oh wait, we did.
Global cooling wasn't an objection to the science of global warming, it was a human action of releasing aerosols which if continued at the rates of the time would've caused anthropogenic global cooling.
Nobody has ever seriously proposed sending anything the size of the ISS to Mars. Maybe the size of Mir (which people proved capable of living in for a year), but probably smaller than that.
The only one of those things Bernie Sanders could possibly do any better is not starting more wars in the middle east. Everything else you mentioned is controlled by congress, and Obama tried to change each of those things but found congress would not let him. Presidents are not dictators.
And my grandpa was slapped whenever he tried to write with his left hand at Catholic school. How is it news that traditional societies hate anything non-conformist?
Out of all the Christians I've met, not one of them has apologized for the Lord's Resistance Army's atrocities. The monsters! If Christians would just come out against and hold marches disavowing it and saying it doesn't represent Christianity then maybe I could respect them.
Intelligence has evolved on Earth in several very different ways, in humans and birds and dolphins. Only humans build advanced tools, but it seems that intelligence itself isn't such an infrequent outcome of evolution and that there's possibility for tool use to re-evolve in different ways.
Interesting, but if all the dry ice in the polar caps only causes a 2x increase it's hard to believe that there's enough dry ice on the rest of the planet to cause a 50x increase (considering one wouldn't expect carbon dioxide to be in solid form that often away from the poles). Source please?
According to some quick internet research: 1) A 30x increase in atmosphere would be required in order to walk around with an oxygen tank unprotected without your blood boiling. 2) Melting the polar ice caps completely would approximately double the atmospheric pressure.
So it's unclear to me what advantage the nukes would bring.
I've in the past said,"It'd be great if I could order and pay for my groceries before I get to the store and have a stock person have them in a cart for me.", but I was criticized that this takes a stock person's time.
Raley's and Bel-Air have an e-cart option for that, here in northern California.

That's like saying Catholics know Latin. Very few Afghans know Arabic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

Actually, we call the most genocidal years of Christianity "the enlightenment".

It has helped less desperately poor by making it easier to qualify for that coverage.
Trash collection is a smell, undesirable job. If you're doing a make-work program, why not make it something pleasant?
Preventing rewinds is a way to encourage people to return their rentals instead of stealing them.

The official name of Syria is the Syrian Arab Republic. Ask them to stop calling themselves arab before you ask other people to stop.
Did any major country in the ancient world have true freedom of religion? Freedom of religion seems a very modern development.
How is ~2 billion the majority of 3 trillion?

Puerto Ricans have been allowed to vote on whether they'd like to remain associated with the USA or not. That's why they don't have the same problems.
