Don’t know why you hate to tell me that. I point out in another comment that’s the most bs argument. It’s like if you were 100K in debt, with 16K of that in credit card debt and going - meh, I’m just gonna ignore my credit card debt and let it grow because even if I paid those off, I’ll still be 84% in debt.

Yep, that’s another feasible way of “adapting” - pretty much set path to follow - more R&D and engineering research into renewable energy sources pays dividends. Investment into magic fixes has a far lower likelihood of success.

Well, your 401k is not more important than everything in the world - but more important than backing out of a lucrative trade deal for the sake of kicking some polish janitors out of your country.

Well, my specific example was based on the Pro-Leave politicians, claiming 350m a week was being spent on the EU and they would be able to spend this on the NHS instead. This was a major impetus and campaigning point for the vote. It was widely publicised that pro-leave politicians walked back from this claim almost…

Not really unless you consider it a zero-sum game. This is the mindset that allowed dirt poor immigrants to slowly build up intergenerational wealth and enter the middle classes. Like I pointed out, it’s lashing out against a mindset of thinking ahead to the next generations that actually keeps the rich rich, by…

Just letting you know that the lack of responses to your rantings doesn’t mean you “won,” it means you’re the crazy guy yelling on the corner that people actively avoid.

I’m not sure that’s actually what was advocated by the “Green movement”. Rather, the argument that “China is polluting more than we are! Stop them first!” is nearly always a right wing argument.

Meh, I don’t think I need to respond substantively to that. Rephrase without needless pejoratives and hyperbole and I’ll be happy to.

Cuz they lose far more customers from price uncertainty. If we take your example, and everything in America were priced in terms of yen, how easy do you think it would be to advertise to customers and draw them in, to say the new iPhone - on sale now for 189,000,000 Yen* vs. New Galaxy S7 - $499.99!

They understood that they were voting to leave the EU but did not understand the consequences of that.

I like how causing an economic crisis and losing your retirement savings is your definition of not being a “coward or an idiot”. You should demonstrate your bravery and smarts by emptying out your 401k and setting fire to it.

Ha! Was that created before or after the Trump candidacy?

though tbh, being allowed to “borrow” a car for all of your needs isn’t that different from being “given” a car for all of of your needs. Just a matter of semantics at that point.

Yea, I agree it’s cultural. It’s probably considered that you’re not a real man providing for your family until you have kids and throw out a six figure sum at their first home.

Psh. You ain’t seen shit yet.

Why do you think that reducing energy usage isn’t adaptation? It does not necessarily require starving half of humanity of energy. If it can be solved by people “adapting” to solar panels, high mpg cars, energy efficient light bulbs and appliances etc., that’s a lot cheaper than “adapting” by mass relocating the…

I think it’s more of a $10 billion incentive to figure out a fix fast.

I think, blonde hair is a recessive gene and dark hair is dominant. So not literally that kids hair follows their father (just happened to be the case that the baratheon hair color genes are dominant). For example, that’s why some of Ned’s kids (Sansa, Robb) took after their mother’s hair color. I assume silver hair…

Hm, interesting debate. I think it boils down to both of us looking at the same fact - that a 16 year old killed a man over $400, and came out with two different conclusions.
