Global temperature averages have increased about 1.5 degrees Fahrenheit. That's severe on a macro level, but that won't eliminate snow in Chicago or cause the unusual hot spells. Giving 'skeptics' easy goofs for them to slap down only entrenches them and delegitimizes scientific fact to people too inexperienced to…

Maher may believe the things he says, but he seems to care more about having his opinions heard than anything else. He wants Milo on so that people on the right will watch and go "I may not always agree, but I respect him." That's why he refused to attack his stupid comments as the asinine garbage they are (milo said…

Maher propagates the same hate speech with Muslims. He also likes to pretend he's above everyone with his "say it like it is" excuse for being an asshole, so that he can make the left look unreasonable and soft when they criticize him on stuff like his Muslim opinions. That's why the 2 of them were flirting over…

Obviously, crimes against humanity in any country are of great concern, which is why it's important to approach those situations with more nuance than "your culture is a poison that corrupts you". They need greater education, stability, a national identity, and strong economics among other things. Not to be vilified.…

Oh, alternative facts? I'd love to hear your counter. Are you saying that countries like North Korea and China don't commit crimes against humanity, that the crimes are incedental and have nothing to do with maintaining the national order, which includes culture, the Atheism of the nations isn't/wasn't an important…

Actually, the majority of Atheists in many Communist countries are okay with some or all of the barbaric tenets of Atheism, as verified by North Korea.

I'm glad you brought up Nazism! Most Nazi high command, including Hitler, were atheist nihilists who sought to wipe out religion and instill civic faith in Hitler and the party. Even if you argue that Jews were persecuted ethnically, many priests and homosexuals were killed in the holocaust. China's cultural…

Alright, Mr. I'm too cool for religion. Of the recognizable atheist countries (Cuba, China, North Korea, and USSR)-take a guess at how many women have led those countries. Want some help? 0. None. Meanwhile, 11 different Muslim nations have had female leaders. That's more than there are Sharia-dominated countries.

I'm going to take a shot in the dark and guess that you don't know any Muslims and haven't even attempted reading Islamic theology. Sharia is mostly familial law based on Islamic tenents. Israel officially integrates Sharia for Muslims who do wish. Only 10 of 50 Muslim nations fully base their legal code on it.

Ah, I thought you were talking about the whole set, not from 73 on. It certainly skews right in that subset.

You are mostly correct, but it does not skew right. It picks up a strong left tail as infant morality, accidental deaths, and other factors take a significant amount of people along the way, while the survival rates start dropping extremely quickly once you hit 90 and 100. Also apparently my numbers were off and the…

As they should. If she wants to go for it then I can't really blame her, but it would be foolish to let her anywhere near a chance. And underdog could just as easily be spun as backhanded elite cheating the system with establishment connections.

Well he lost in the primaries, so I'm not sure that you can say that no one was dissuaded. It certainly would be a factor for me. Age is still a concern. The average female in the US lives to 81, which (if Hillary is average) puts her at 50/50 to die before reaching 2 terms. That is on top of her being a scourge to…

And a 55 year old lasts longer than anyone in their mid-70s.

Plenty of people poked at Bernie's age, and he didn't even make past the primaries when the kid gloves come off. People on both sides were taking shots at Trump and Hillary for health.

Trump started at 70 though. You have to consider them as 8 years out from inauguration and 81 is a lot worse than 78.

"China declares war on US; Subsequently surrenders to love after stirring Rohrabacher folk song"

He was very dissapointed when he saw the White Sox roster.

At least he's been in politics I suppose.

Eh, Uncle Remus is awkward and it candy-coats race relations in Reconstruction, but I don't know if I'd go so far to call him a minstrel show. He's clever, kind, and obviously respected by the white people. Plus he's got a basis in black folklore and won a black man the Oscar for the first time. The crows are just a…
