  1. Re:A first: We should follow Germany's lead on 'We the People' Petition To Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Scientology is not a religion. It's a mafia masquerading as a religion. No other religion thugs on its members and makes them slaves to pay for revelation.

    I am no friend of religion myself, but you have to understand Scientology is nothing like Judaism, Christianity, Islam, etc. in terms of behavior. No one forces you to pay to read the Quran. No one locks you up if you try to leave the Church. Contributions to Jewish congregation are voluntary, not compulsory. Of course there are fringe groups that do do these things. Amd they are rightly seem as cults far outside mainstream. Like Scientology is.

    My point is simply the case of Scientology and the case against religion in general are completely different topics and you can't segue from one to the other.

    exactly

    the age of burning oil from the ground is a burp in the timeline. it will never go away completely it will cease to dominate

    by the end of this century, feedstock for pharmaceuticals and plastic will be grown from genetically engineered biological sources and our transport will use batteries. truck won't run on batteries but large shipments will cease to dominate. everything will be continuously microdelivered (for those large shipments which can't/ won't go away, diesel engines will probably still dominate, but there's always biodiesel)

    notably, radical islam will also wither, since it is only saudi funding that drives that. bikinis in jeddah by 2100

    only oil wealth has allowed that society to be frozen in time. when asked to compete on its own merits, the medieval idiots will go back to being camel herders and the forward looking saudis will do what they have to do to be able to compete in the world

    this topic is political posturing against Cuomo. not that Cuomo doesn't do fucked up things. and he does deserve criticism. but not on this topic

    cutting taxes for ten years to grow start ups is a great idea

    do we point at pregnant women's bellies and give them our sympathies for their stillborn?

    do we point at elementary school kids and decry that they've become meth heads?

    to say this judgment is preliminary is beyond obvious. it's a weak lame shallow farcical smear attack on Cuomo

    believe me, Cuomo has done some ugly corrupt shit, like protect Silver (unsuccessfully) by shutting down the Moreland Commission

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M...

    there's plenty of good shots to take against Cuomo

    but if this lame way too early attack on a clearly great idea is the best Cuomo's opponents can do, it shows his opponents to be pathetic and weak and so Cuomo is doing pretty good
