I think about as highly of your opinion as I do what my farts think, so I wouldn't hold your breath.

Ha! Like I thought you would.

Why does it matter so much to you what she makes? Making up a story about Hillary using a pizza shop as a child sex ring is the same as... what does Maddow do that's the same? Explain that one (Don't worry, I know you won't).

I know you have no idea what I'm talking about. It's like trying to teach physics to a kindergartner.

Maddow's certainly got her prime audience on her hook. There isn't one single way that you are ever going to be convinced that there was no Russian collusion. When that happens, you're all going to turn on Mueller... My prediction is that you'll accuse him of being a Putin puppet too.

And Maddow will keep getting her ratings.

The only thing we agree on is that Limbaugh is a piece of shit.

Here's one from over a year ago. Maybe I'll be bored enough to look for more one day.

Rapid Loss of Biodiversity Placing Global Food Supplies at Risk of 'Irreversible Collapse'
"This should be at the top of every news bulletin and every government's agenda around the world."
https://www.commondreams.org/news/2019/02/22/terrifying-rapid-loss-bio
diversity-placing-global-food-supplies-risk-irreversible

According to FAO's study of 91 countries around the world, the loss of thousands of plant and animal species is affecting air and water quality, tree and plant health, and worsening the spread of disease among livestock—all with dangerous implications for the human population and humans' food sources.

"Less biodiversity means that plants and animals are more vulnerable to pests and diseases. Compounded by our reliance on fewer and fewer species to feed ourselves, the increasing loss of biodiversity for food and agriculture puts food security and nutrition at risk," said Jose Graziano da Silva, FAO's director-general.

"Consider biodiversity as a global puzzle," Switzerland's secretary of state for agriculture, Bernard Lehmann, said Friday. "Losing too many pieces makes the picture incomplete. Thus, biodiversity loss for food and agriculture represents a big risk for food security."

Along with the report, FAO shared a video on Twitter outlining the dire implications of biodiversity loss.

"Today only nine crops account for 66 percent of total crop production," the organization said. "Our forests are shrinking. As they disappear so do the plants, insects, and animals they host...Now is the time to act."

There will be a tipping point. We're just about there.

The Earth will brush off all that "man" has to offer, like so much dandruff, smile and keep on spinning. We humans might not fare too well, but Mother Earth will keep on spinning.

For her this is a blip on the radar screen. I'm of the mind that a huge asteroid, the global killer, is out there lurking and well on it's way to
our little corner of the universe. We are but a pimple on the ass of the universe, a minor speck of dust in the vastness of space. So, all of this
bullshit doesn't mean a thing in the grand scheme of things.

Alongside this, the problem of malnutrition has gone from being a disease that affects those who don’t have enough to eat to one that affects those who eat more than they need. In 2006, the UN recognised the term ‘Type B malnutrition’ as a way of describing this phenomenon.

1/3 of Americans are overweight. Another 1/3 are obese.

This isn't an overpopulation problem though. It's really not a money issue either.

I eat extremely cheap compared to your average American, and I never go hungry. 2 years ago I ate like total crap and I was drinking beer by the tanker truck. By all means I should be dead right now. But with a physical job and a huge change in my diet I just got perfect blood work back and my BMI is good.... And that's even after putting on about 10 to 12 pounds I didn't have during the warm months when I was doing a lot of work outside on my days off.

This is really a lazy issue. People are lazy. People like fast food. People like the ease of eating processed and microwave food instead of cooking for themselves.

I don't really care much for cooking, or learning how to cook new things, so my diet is fairly limited right now, but if I were to learn there are many more things I could be adding to my diet that would be good for me that wouldn't break the bank. I make less than $15k per year and I eat better now than I've ever eaten in my life. It is possible, but it's work and a bit of self discipline thrown in for good measure.

And for the love of god, don't drink soda no matter what other crap you're putting in your body.

26 months ago at the peak of my drinking before I quit, I was nearly 225 lbs. A fat sack of shit that had pain all over just from doing nothing. During the summer last year, I was an extremely lean 150 lbs. During the cold months I've bounced around from between 158 and 166 lbs. I've gone from Obese to an athletic build the right way.

Red The Marching Moronz.

Not a great story. Not well ritten. Only the bare bonez idea uv a guy from the past saving the day in a world gon stoopid connects it to Idiocrasy.

It wuz orijinally published in 1951. Interesting that Kornbluth forsaw a future uv overpopulation and idiosy that far back. I gess he wuznt the first or only, but for wutever reazon hiz story wuz very influential.

Robocop also haz sum connecting elements. "I'd buy that for a dollar!" on a moronic TV show.

Not too surprising when you compare it to what Orwell predicted back in 1949. Pretty much the only thing in that book he was wrong about was having any chance of spotting the microphones that were always listening.

Maybe he would have predicted that too, but it would have destroyed some major plot points if Winston couldn't actually see them.

Your understanding of the rest of the world is sh*t too. Many of us have already said there may or may not be "collusion." We're not hanging on that. Certainly there was collusion of a kind, but is that kind prosecutable? Probably not. Obstruction though - he's got jail time coming as soon as he's not president. I don't know what Trump loyalists think collusion means. Maybe you can explain. Do you think we're expecting to find a check for his membership dues to Putin's Collusion Club? Do you even understand what it means to be an unwitting asset? I doubt it - prove me wrong. Use all of those iq points you think you have.

The Marching Morons story has a point: We are overclocked hairless apes who are simply not designed to think about or to willingly make significant sacrifices in service of a fuzzy, uncertain hazard that’s decades away. Why would anyone deny this? But unlike in the Marching Morons, it doesn’t necessarily follow that the smarter ape’s only solution is to either deliberately kill off most of the dumber apes or else nature haphazardly kills them. What is the third way?

The United States has reduced per-capita carbon emissions slightly more than Europe, and neither one has managed much reduction at all except when they’re forced to. Nearly all of the reduction since 2000 came during the five-year period when oil prices spiked and the Great Recession killed off economic activity.

In other words, it doesn’t seem as if either the Republican Party or America’s dysfunctional politics is really the problem. So what is? It must be something common to both Europe and the US, and the obvious answer is that we all live in democracies. Roughly speaking, our governments do what the public wants, and the public doesn’t have much interest in reducing carbon emissions. Oh, we say we do, and we’ll support minor things like ETS or CAFE that have a barely noticeable effect on us. We’ll support solar power — if it produces electricity nearly as cheaply as coal. We’ll all buy electric cars — but only when the price comes down and the batteries get better. We’ll check out the energy star rating the next time we buy a new refrigerator. And that’s about it.

A climate plan that requires significant sacrifice might work on planet Vulcan, but not on planet Earth. Assuming otherwise is nonserious. We need a plan that will work with only homo sapiens to carry it out, and that means a plan that takes into account human selfishness and shortsightedness. It means a plan that will appeal to China and India and Brazil and the rest of the world. It means a plan that will somehow reduce atmospheric carbon a lot even while most of us sit around fat, dumb, and happy.

The only such plan I can think of is one that increases global R&D spending on climate mitigation by, oh, 10x or so. Maybe 20x if it’s feasible. This money would be spent on developing new sources of clean energy and energy storage; reducing the price of current sources of clean energy; figuring out ways to remove carbon from the atmosphere; and pretty much anything else that seems remotely useful. The fruits of this research would be turned over to the private sector for free, and they would then compete to sell it all over the globe. This would harness human selfishness instead of fighting it. It’s not guaranteed to work, but unlike the Green New Deal and similar manifestos, at least it’s not guaranteed to fail.
