And before the consensus is science crowd pipes up, it was at one time consensus scientists believed the sun orbited the earth until Copernicus expounded his heliocentrism theory and was ridiculed for it. Whenever I read something like this I feel the need to correct the writer. First, Copernicus ...

You forgot to mention the bull was slapped with a stick because it came into their house uninvited and started breaking everything.

So here ya go: https://apps.fs.usda.gov/r6_decaid/views/mountain_pine_beetle.html Thanks for supplying a good link, I found it informative. If I remember correctly, you studied Zoology in college?

Then why does he refuse to step down from the race? He might still drop out. He's not staying in for power and glory.

Because it significantly reduces your chance of serious illness and the less sick everyone is the better for people who can't get vaccinated.

Yes and republicans are pushing granny over a cliff too. Granny will literally die if Republicans manage to take control and privatize critical healthcare services.

The bigger question is how did this kid get up on the roof with a rifle and not be observed by Secret Service agents? The answer is also the answer to 9/11. The government is collectively incompetent more often than not but there is an illusion of competence, and that illusion is necessary to ...

However... I agree with most of your post(s) so I'm not going to argue against any. We can't nationalize anything until we have a government working in the interest of the people. A system other than FPTP would be great. To add to your point regarding term limits, I believe we should consider the ...

...you don't consider them left enough. Vander beat me to it, but Bernie Sanders is a progressive Democrat, not a "leftist". Media bias sites do things like put MSNBC on the far-left end of the spectrum, yet MSNBC doesn't advocate for things like nationalizing industries instead of using tax ...

All news outlets are "reliable". Idiotic, enlightened centrist post. I feel it's time to remind the board there are no major left wing news services in the US, just the anarcho-capitalist right and the capitalist left.

...just what news outlets do you think are not garbage? This has been answered over and over again. Check AP News first since it's closest to the source. Reuters, The Hill, BBC all make great efforts to reduce media bias. You can use a news aggregator like Ground News to get a good overview of a ...

Trump getting voted in again is the end of the world. It really does feel like that in a real sense. It's not just that Trump is an obviously terrible person, but he's surrounded by some of the most selfish people imaginable.

Going to point out something everyone seems to have forgotten. Mitt Romney trounced Barack Obama in their first debate and everyone freaked out. Then Obama got it together and thoroughly mopped the floor with Romney in the following debates. Debate is a skill that goes out of practice, and ...

I'll say this: I'm glad I took the time to learn Linux in 2011, starting with Mint. Nice, I also switched to Mint in 2011 after fumbling with Ubuntu a year earlier, all thanks to WinXP end of life announcement. I always seem to have at least one device using Mint at all times (two currently ...

To what end? A two-state solution that recognizes the 1967 borders, which is where the peace process left off before Israel's right wing decided to invest in Hamas. It's a good a starting point as any. This would signal that Israel wants to be a good neighbor and that would go a long way toward ...
