I wonder if the Buddhists in the GOP will tell the party that “Change must come from within” !!

Unseen – there are problems with “cultural specificity” in many IQ tests. But they can be helpful too. See this article.  Personally, I know many adults with IQ’s over 150 on the Mensa scale. While about 75% are white, this would probably reflect the % they are in the society in England and Ireland. I have personal knowledge of some children…[Read more]

Have a great week everyone!

@theEncogitationer:

I think you might enjoy this video: Weekend at Jesus’s.

German? VW couldn’t meet emission requirements and so cheated. Requirements other manufacturers were meeting

Yes, but emissions are not going to be an issue with electric power.

In no particular order;

Yes, I do sometimes take a THC lozenge instead but I find they can be a bit of a wipe out unless my tolerance is “high”. But I don’t consume enough weed to build up my tolerance. I probably only “use” about once a week, Friday or Saturday night mostly (especially “movie nights”) but sometimes I don’t bother for weeks. The…[Read more]

Once a big player like VW, BMW or maybe Nissan improve their batteries they will take the fight to Tesla.

Tesla have been innovators and even “disrupters” in the game but their share value is unrealistic, given that it will not take too long for the competition to catch up. I would be cashing in Tesla stock and playing with some of the house’s…[Read more]

@TheEncogitationer. Thanks for the links.

I think many of these laws are restrictive of personal freedom and the pursuit of happiness. What one does, either alone or with other consenting adults, in the privacy of their own “castle” should be no-ones concern.

But conservative Christians can’t bear to think that what they consider to be “vices”…[Read more]

@Robert, Yes for someone who can be so lucidly insightful (incite-ful ??) at times, I recall having cringed at some of the (almost) “anti-VAX” statements in the past. It does also diminish his credibility points tally for me.

@Strega – You are most welcome, as always 🙂

Have a great week everyone!

I recall someone not so long ago talking about how the Catholic school board in Vancouver was the first board in the region to have an official policy supporting transgender kids. I don’t know if that is true or not (or as much of an accomplishment as they seem to think), but I reminded them the reason they had to form a policy was because a h…[Read more]

@Kristina – Yes, that is true. They are also masters of revisionism. I constantly hear apologists claim how the Catholic Church was a beacon of light in the Dark Ages when it came to Education, Science, Cosmology, Abolition of Slavery, etc. In most cases this is completely untrue.

In a generation or two we will hear them claim to have been…[Read more]

Catholics live in an alternative reality created by their Church. Their apologists are in denial over how bad the problem is. They are making excuses for the Church that they grovel on their knees to.  They were easily herded into a state of denial about the severity of the crimes against humanity  committed by the men they held in reverence. Y…[Read more]

@theencogitationer – of this decades-or-even-centuries-long horror!

That is what I say. It has been going on for centuries. It would be naive or even plain stupid to think otherwise. That is why it is taking so long for the Vatican to get the problem sorted. The entire Catholic Church should be proscribed and outlawed. Why do people still allow…[Read more]
