this sure sounds plausible and not like some made up bullshit for scientists to get funding
Yes, geologists and geophysicists are well-known for being greedy and money-grubbing. After all, everyone knows they selected those fields just to make a quick buck.
Pope, even though I'm a leftist I have to point out that after reading this whole thread I feel that you are being overly uncivil toward Strat.
You caught that, did you? Wow, nothing gets by you, does it?
You may not have noticed, but the time for civil discourse ended when a black man became president and we were treated to eight years of the most over-the-top racism and hatred.
Apparently, like budget deficits, angry rhetoric is only acceptable when Republicans do it.
On Netflix, watch Altered Carbon, Hap & Leonard and Into the Badlands. They're pretty good. Black Mirror is completely overrated. Imagine the Twilight Zone with all the subtlety removed. Each episode is one joke, hammered over and over again because the creators of the show think its viewers are really really stupid. It's a dumb person's idea of what a smart show should be like. Oh yeah, Altered Carbon has some nize tiddies in it, so start there.
On Amazon Prime, Mozart in the Jungle is good, Sneaky Pete is good and you can catch up on all those BBC mystery shows about a big city detective from (London, Glasgow, Dublin) who moved to some small town on the coast of (Scotland, Ireland, Wales) and solves crimes. My wife loves that shit and I confess I enjoy a good rural Scottish accent.
See, you got all those good recommendations for free and I won't sell your personal data to anyone or track you when you pause the movie to go pee.
They should just do away with time zones and make everyplace the same time. I don't like the fact that where I live Monday Night Football comes on at 5pm and Saturday Night Live starts at like 8:30. When I go online a 10pm to fuck around with my friends back in the Midwest or East Coast, they're all like, "Oh, we're sleeping because it's one in the morning." Fuck that.
Starting Sunday at 2am, the entire world has to go on Pacific Standard Time. No, make that, Pacific Daylight Time.
And put Saturday morning cartoons back on the networks. I mean, what the fuck is wrong with whoever decided to take cartoons off Saturday morning? Motherfucker, do I come over there and mess with your life?
Now excuse me, I gotta go get a refill and go pee. Save my spot.
You have stated above that you think that distinction between the two is "artificial".
No, the distinction is artificial when it comes to these two specific cases. As I've said. Marriage and homosexuality are both biological impulses and both have been integrated into societal structures, and have been since long before the bible was written.
So is there any reason why you're conflating biological urges and societal structures?
I'm not. Your distinction is artificial. You started this by trying to imply that marriage and homosexuality are in some fundamental way different, as if one is a biological urge and the other is a social structure. They are both both.
Both of them are biological urges and not societal structures by definition.
No, dummy. I'm saying that homosexuality and transgenderism have been part of societies' structures since well before the bible and before the societal institution of marriage.
he ended up working part-time as a DJ in a Roller-Rink...
That actually sounds kind of awesome. I could see myself spinning some roller-disco bangers in a rink. My concern would be that the West Virginia skaters would want to hear country-rap and I'd have to burn the place down.
Here is a dream sequence of me spinning records at a roller rink:
The vast, vast majority of civilian-owned rifles -- of all sorts -- have never killed any school kids. Most of them have never killed anything at all, and never will.
In United States history, guns in the hands of civilians have been used far more often to oppress people, to suppress liberty, than they have been used to preserve or promote liberty. Civilian-owned firearms have become a tool for tyrants, not a guarantee against them.
Most of them have never killed anything at all, and never will.
So then, what is their purpose and why should anyone miss them?
The effect of such games cannot be viewed outside the context of single-parent families, SSRI use, general lack of faith in society, and the failure of our civilization to have any kind of meaningful social order.
Don't forget the breakdown of institutions like marriage.
We should expect social order to break down when Biblical marriage (which is defined as a marriage between a man, his third wife and a porn star with a non-disclosure agreement) is under attack.
What's that now? You have found ideologies that exist in the absence of people?
And in California men marry men and women marry women
You may not have seen the news, but same-sex marriage is now the law of the land in all 50 states. Men marry men and women marry women in every one of them.
Besides, that's not really fair as few places still have laws allowing marriage that young, and many are old laws left over from as far back as the Reconstruction era.
And the places that allowed marriage that young still had cases of families giving away child brides. When you say these are "old laws", why do you think those "old laws" have been changed in other places but places liike Kentucky held on to them so fiercely?
The States you referenced were also States for many decades prior to many of the more liberal Western States
That's a weak excuse. Massachusetts and New York have been states at least as long as Kentucky, but don't allow 13 year olds to be "given away" by their families.
Can't we find things, like this proposed Act where we share common ground, that we can come together on and stop demonizing each other on and trying to "win" by any means, even destroying innocent people's lives?
The irony is thick when a conservative in the Age of Trump asks for civility and "common ground".
Come now, that's not fair. People in different regions of this huge nation are...different.
That's true. Some regions like to marry 13 year-olds and some vote Democratic.
Don't worry too much about politics as politics is fleeting and mostly just a show for the masses
Your statement would be more convincing if your signature line didn't accuse all liberals of wanting a police state. Don't bullshit man. I like you just fine the way you are and you don't have to pretend with me.
It's principles that really count, the good news being that most of us share far, far more principles than we differ on.
Is colluding with a non-friendly foreign government in order to tamper with a US election one of the principles that count for you?
If you're participating in a debate/conversation, you should care about facts.
And if you're participating in a debate about preventing school kids from being shot up, you should care at least as much about the school kids as you do about whether someone is using the proper terminology for the killing appliance that was used to slaughter them.
You can modify an AR-15 to be full auto, but it's tricky and probably won't work. The AR-15 tends to jam when fired at full-auto rates.
The "AR" in AR-15 stands for "The Actually Rifle 15" because any time someone gets some inconsequential fact wrong about it, 15 idiots will appear out of thin air to "actually,,," you with some boring nonsense about their stupid murder machine.
Nobody really cares except other potential school shooters.

In the case of homosexuality and marriage, yes.
Are you suggesting that homosexuality has not been integrated into the structure of society throughout human history?
When I drink a lot of rum, I become a streaming pirate.
I'm not. Your distinction is artificial. You started this by trying to imply that marriage and homosexuality are in some fundamental way different, as if one is a biological urge and the other is a social structure. They are both both.

I'm not. Homosexuality and transgenderism both were part of social structures in pre-blblical times.

Homosexuality also predates the bible. I mean, as long as you're listing the things that predate the bible that must not be messed with.
Thanks, mom.

True. Semi-automatic rifles can kill tons of school kids, whereas fully automatic rifles can kill shit tons of school kids.
It's an important distinction to make if you really need to kill a shit-ton of school kids and simple tons of school kids just won't do.
Well, at least one of us started out with teeth.
