Stopping global warming is easy enough: just reduce the population to sustainable levels. 99% of all people are soon to be rendered useless by automation anyway, so why postpone the inevitable?
Nah, stopping global warming doesn't need us to get rid of 99% of people, just the ones emitting most of the CO2.
Say 300 million from North America and 500 million from Europe. That should just about fix it.
Click through - the stances are quite firm and there is quite a lot of detail. On a number of issues I consider him more progressive than Hillary.
"Progressive"? Maybe. Insane, yes.
Look at his tax plans:
1. If you are single and earn less than $25,000, or married and jointly earn less than $50,000, you will not owe any income tax. That removes nearly 75 million households â" over 50% â" from the income tax rolls. They get a new one page form to send the IRS saying, âoeI win,â those who would otherwise owe income taxes will save an average of nearly $1,000 each.
2. All other Americans will get a simpler tax code with four brackets â" 0%, 10%, 20% and 25% â" instead of the current seven. This new tax code eliminates the marriage penalty and the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT) while providing the lowest tax rate since before World War II.
3. No business of any size, from a Fortune 500 to a mom and pop shop to a freelancer living job to job, will pay more than 15% of their business income in taxes. This lower rate makes corporate inversions unnecessary by making Americaâ(TM)s tax rate one of the best in the world.
4. No family will have to pay the death tax. You earned and saved that money for your family, not the government. You paid taxes on it when you earned it
And he claims "Doesn't add to our debt and deficit".
And just for reference, I've personally TRIED to get people on this forum to engage in intelligent debate about the issues in this election. We're supposed to be the smart people in the room
That's where you're going wrong. There is no evidence that slashdotters are anywhere near "the smart people in the room". The vast majority of them are opinionated ill-informed brats.
Surprise, asshole! I'm not planning on voting for any of them, Republican or Democrat. I'll vote for some 3rd-party candidate, just to give the finger to the whole process.
I don't want a 'revolution'; I just want them all to leave me the hell alone!
So you're planning to take the one action that ensures that they can and will ignore your wishes.
UK should shut the hell up if they pretend they get too many migrant. FFS even CH has by head more than UK.
Various right wing loonies in the UK like to whine about "immigrants", conflating immigration from the EU, immigration allowed from outside the EU by the UK government and refugees (who are always described as "economic migrants" even when they're clearly fleeing persecution).
What they don't like to talk about is the immigration from outside the EU, allowed by their own government, is the largest part of recent immigration. (And the UK lets in a ridiculously small number of refugees).
guestapoo claimed "in Buddhism, there is no 'martyr', that is they don't encourage for 'be ready to die for your religion'." This is obviously untrue. And it's not "one act", it's hundreds of similar cases.
As for "'mob justice' is also not terrorism." I don't call lynching "justice" and it clearly is terrorism -- use of violence for political ends.
Anyway, in summer Germany most likely requires less power from coal plants as we additionally will have more energy from solar power. Energy consumption is higher in winter.
In July 2016 Germany was generating around 15-17GW from brown coal almost continuously (except for 25/7 to 26/7 where it fell to 11GW). Pretty much the same story for August and September. (With one windy day in September where wind shot up to 20GW).
Basically Germany burns brown coal constantly, only reducing it if there happens to be a lot of wind on the week end, which seems to happen about once a month.
I don't think Germany can afford to shut down its coal plants -- it relies on them for up to 50% of its base load generation.

CVS might get brought up by the C-level who read about it in a magazine in the 90's and/or is a year or two from retirement.
Hey! I'm 8 years from retirement and I use SCCS!
If you want to talk about old fashioned junk bitkeeper uses the SCCS file format!

Makes no sense. Poor people produce almost no CO2.
Now, kill some rich people, that would work.

Wooooosh.
So you are apparently smart enough to read this article, but to dumb to notice the whole "Bay Area" part of BART.

This is madness.
It makes just as much sense as women saying they are going to vote for Hillary because she has a vagina.
That makes those women sexiest, but they will never admit it.
Personally I find women with vaginas to be the sexiest, that's true.

We were never a democracy, but a representative republic.
It's a desert topping and a floor wax.
Democracies can have many forms. Republics can have many forms.
On of those forms is a republican representative democracy, that's what you've got.
What kind of ill educated fool thinks there's some contradiction between being a democracy and a republic?

Smart.
There's a little bit of a difference between thermal decay generators and nuclear propulsion.
RTG's are not the only nuclear power sources -- look up RORSAT and the BES-5 reactor.
You can't build a wall because most of Florida is on porous rock -- the water just comes under your wall.

Instead, we quickly found out that the "European Parliament" is strictly ornamental
Which explains how the European Parliament threw out the Santer commission, rejected ACTA and chose the president of the Juncker commission.
the EU is ruled - very arbitrarily - by a bunch of "commissioners".
The commission is the equivalent of the UK cabinet. It is answerable to the Council and the Parliament.
Learn to read you idiot.

You must be joking. Just type "budhist imolation" into the search engine of your choice.

MITRE refused to allocate a CVE. It's not the number that's the problem, it's that they are refusing to do their job.
Yes, because another service is always the solution ... instead of fixing the existing one and improving it.
So, how do you do that exactly? Someone asks MITRE for a CVS number for a vulnerability they've found and MITRE replies:
What next?
I understand UK perfectly, they're on the giving end of EU, they're the ones that have to take the fall for Europes refugees
Nope, they take almost no refugees at all
and they're the ones with the most generous benefit rules and regulations.
What? Are you dreaming? They have nowhere near the most generous benefits.
You seem to have misread aaarrrgggh's post -- he wasn't talking about "modern turbines", he was talking about VAWTs

Which is, of course, totally irrelevant. Unless you eat coal.
