Zactly.

Folks will say we're mean but I've argued with these numbskulls. One poisoned my dog, stole my Obama signs, and put a glass bottle neck in our driveway. Tell me how I'm supposed to give people like this a pass. They have a net connections, access to the same info we do.

They are MEAN. And fuck them!

Classical Displaced Anger

There's the classical psychology's displaced ANGER issue which the MAGATS* are too ignorant to understand.

They must aim all the blame for their problems at a target most distance from them.

Yep and the root of that?

#1
For Christian fundamentalists, being taught to suppress critical thinking begins at a very early age.
It is the combination of the brain’s vulnerability to believing unsupported facts and aggressive indoctrination that create the perfect storm for gullibility. Due to the brain’s neuroplasticity, or ability to be sculpted by lived experiences, evangelicals literally become hardwired to believe far-fetched statements.

Every human has a carbon footprint.

In developed countries that footprint is great no matter how much we try to conserve. So logically, is making more humans hunky-dory?

Bravo, Hermit.

Thank you!

Only fools are blinded to the fact that the GOP hates women, rallies around racists, tears children from their parents, ignores GW, and hurts society in general. It's as simple as that. Yet they claim to be "moral" and humane. BULLCRAP! I despise them with a red hot passion at this point.

The process turns out a mass of cells, not a living, sensient

Animals, so why would Greenpeace, Union of Concerned Scientists, etc. object? It would seem a good way to cut pollution and stop "murders."

I'd be happy if society stopped killing living, feeling critters. I abhor killing anything but viruses, bacteria, and bad insects. Not crazy about some poisonous snakes either.

Quote - The best way to cheapen our lives...

"The best way to cheapen our lives on earth is to pretend they are insignificant compared to what comes next."


Works for me.
