  1. Climate Change

    I can't comment on anything of the above. I will only say that the Japanese are the quickest and best prepared workers in the world. And their engineers are nothing to scoff at either. Plus we don't know what the decision makers in the UK took under consideration before abandoning their nuclear power generation plans.

    If you go through @thelerner notes you will see that the book has some parts that are missing and can be taught only by a teacher.
  3. Yes, one way of looking at it is as a mix of both. It was advertised as the "third way" a century ago.

    I think it happened ~5 days ago. The next day that Sean came back. If the incidents are related i have no clue. Plus one can log via email not just username.
  5. Fascism isn't right wing despite what many claim or where they categorise it. It has many left wing elements built in it. Hitler became a favorite of the working class in Germany and it helped him rise to power. Also note that Nazi=national socialist. And Nazis made extensive campaigns against the "plutocrats". Many of their social beliefs if viewed in an ideological vacuum would resemble socialist ideals to the americans of today. PS i am not advocating fascism or nazism just playing devil's advocate.
  6. Climate Change

    Nuclear isn't safe by any means. The Japanese are the most careful and protocol dependent of all people in the world. And yet they had the Fukushima disaster. It is not by chance that talks about using nuclear power in the UK died out after that accident.

    There is no option for anonymous logging on my sign in page anymore. Not that i use it, it just felt strange to see it gone.
  8. The worse part isn't racism but denial of climate change. Racism is bad but it only affects one segment of humanity. Climate change denial prevents the needed legislation and way of life changes that will save the whole planet and all the humans that live and will live in the future!

    This is true. This isn't true. This can only happen if there is no competition between businesses of different countries with different wages. An employer in the US has to compete with Chinese, Indian and Bangladesh wages or he might go out of bilusiness. This is not to justify the use of illegal immigrants as a cheap workforce but to show that the jobs are not for granted and probably not available to legal american workers unwilling to work for lower wages.
  10. Trump talk

    What you are telling me is that your interference had no reason to happen. I applaud you for the effort you took but this proves nothing still. Laborers might not be willing to get paid the wages the employers are offering and instead of the employers increasing wages they might go out of business. That is what the economists are telling you. No one knows for certain and that is why you can't take for granted what anyone is claiming about immigrants.
  11. Angst????!!! Hahahaha! I have less than 60 pulses a minute right now. What makes you think i am anxious?
  12. Trump talk

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burden_of_proof_(philosophy) Read it. Then comment. As for your interest: i don't care. Should i?
  13. Absurd question require absurd answers don't you think?
  14. I have seen the complete opposite. And we are both looking at the same threads. We are different people from completely different cultural backgrounds and environments. Political talk won't unify us ever.
  15. Trump talk

    Again the burden of proof isn't on me, so whether i am interested or not has nothing to do with the conversation. What illegal, unregistered immigrants do in the US isn't provable and neither are projections based on what might happen if they weren't there.
  16. Trump talk

    The burden of proof is not on me. So tell me again as a european citizen why should i bother?
  17. You mean IF people are ready. "When" shows confidence it will happen. Guess what? It won't! We are going the opposite direction for millenia now. And people lack both the knowledge and self inquiry to understand. Those who do, don't bother anyway.
  18. Trump talk

    I don't care about searching because the numbers will be off however i try. Plus i have zero reason to do so not being actively involved in the US or paid to do so.
  19. Trump talk

    You really don't understand. It is basic economics. They might be or they might not depending on many factors. You are assuming the answer.
  20. Trump talk

    I don't care. Plus all these are approximations, neither specific facts nor numbers.
  21. Yes but a possible absence of it diminishes the worth of the conversation to that individual not to mention others who form wrong impressions Please consider again how many of those who hold "correct" opinions have the time, the capability and the willingness to put the effort to support their opinion?
  22. Trump talk

    Is it even possible to find facts and numbers regarding UNREGISTERED people flying under the radar in the US??? Seriously??
  23. Trump talk

    You don't understand. The burden of proof is on you, not me! I cannot deny it but since you cannot support it you should have never mentioned it in the first place.
