I can't see any logical reason for you to introduce the racist slur here. I'm reporting your uncalled for insult.

Who was this racist slur directed at? I have no idea where that quote originated.

Post #171 above. I thought is was about Jazzrule's comment on AOC above that. Couldn't see any comment it was relevant to. Jazzrule's comment was entirely about ideas expressed by AOC.

Perhaps you'd suppress your snickers a bit if I got your experts to describe their calculations.

hmmmm….

This is only the Arctic, with nothing about the Antarctic here. 3800 cubic miles of sea ice in the Arctic Ocean.

Melting ice already in the ocean will do very little to raise the sea level, possibly nothing.

hmmm..... what am I thinking.....

water expands when it freezes, breaks rocks and pipes.... ice displaces a volume of water of equal weight. I was imagining that the 10% or so showing above the surface meant it would increase the ocean volume when it melts.... but no.

after melting, it will have the volume of water it displaces when floating.

Exactly. It's only the water that's currently on land, or attached to such, that will cause significant sea level changes.

I think you are mistaken here.

Progressives don't want power. Or money. They want lollypops and roses, and an ice cream man on every neighborhood street.

Progressives are simpletons, stupid as rocks.

But there are some clever folks who call the tunes.... they hire drum beaters like media talking shirts with empty heads. And agenda pushers whom they flatter and lead to do social media dominance exercises to shout down thoughtful comments and realistic opinions.....

But a lot of idealistic "believers" in Statist religions will throw in their work for free, too.

Well, actually, in my experience, most dedicated Marxists I've known are actually the heirs of pretty impressive and important "Capitalists"..... well, you know, there are two forms of Capitalists. The first to emerge is a sort of grub. Someone who works hard, saves money, and invests in new businesses..... But then when it gets fat, it secreets a sort of mud around itself, while it tries to become acceptable to "Old Money" by joining the Council of Foreign Relations.

If this is blessed by approval of Old Money, and properly lubricated with payola, it will hatch out and take flight as a Moth.

This Moth phase of the Capitalist is especially voracious. It becomes politically active in building the hive of the Old Money Fagocyte.…. I think that must be the correct spelling but in human blood it is spelled Phagocyte, because it eats everything that is not esteemed to be compliant with the Host.

I prefer to term this life stage "State Capitalist". Well, in Latin terminology, it could be termed "fascist" describing the essential connections it must maintain.

I stand corrected on all progressives. I was referring to those behind the scenes being smart in controlling the media. Of course they have a fallen angel giving them inspiration. May I share this small bit of wisdom with you. When Jesus was baptised his Father spoke from heaven. Sorry I don't think Jesus was a ventriloquist trying to impress John the Baptist and John's followers. The the Holy Ghost descended on Jesus, and with the Holy Ghost being a spirit he came in the form of a dove (the dove is a symbol of peace). So there you have it they are separate, but the 3 are one in purpose. I have had sacred experiences in my life, that I will not share on jazzfanz. I know the earth will be renewed at Christ return, so there is nothing we can do to affect what is to transpire. You have my respect Sir.

You know what would be "progressive"? Banning an agricultural chemical known to damage the brains of children. But not Trump's EPA. No, not his EPA. Trump's EPA backs industry over human health, be it farm workers, or be it children.

Washington, D.C. —

Today, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) announced the brain-damaging pesticide chlorpyrifos can still be used on food, although mainstream science says this pesticide is unsafe for children and farmworkers. This decision meets the deadline ordered by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals for the EPA to make a final decision on a petition to ban chlorpyrifos on food.

"By allowing chlorpyrifos to stay in our fruits and vegetables, Trump’s EPA is breaking the law and neglecting the overwhelming scientific evidence that this pesticide harms children’s brains,” said Patti Goldman, Earthjustice attorney. “It is a tragedy that this administration sides with corporations instead of children’s health. But this is only a setback. Lawmakers in states like Hawai'i and New York are now showing the rest of the country that banning this dreadful pesticide is not only possible, but inevitable.”

You said "overwhelming scientific evidence that this pesticide harms children’s brains," You may be 100% correct, but after seeing what scientist said about climate change who knows. What is your stance on teenagers smoking marijuana? There is scientific evidence coming out teenagers smoking marijuana
harms their brains as well.

Well, you're speaking to an old head. it was always a question of experimenting with other states of consciousness in order to explore other ways of interfacing with reality, with the universe. I support my own cognitive liberty: "Cognitive liberty, or the "right to mental self-determination", is the freedom of an individual to control his or her own mental processes, cognition, and consciousness. It has been argued to be both an extension of, and the principle underlying, the right to freedom of thought". (That's Wikipedia of course)

But, not everyone can be mature, and curious about consciousness, as I was. Some just wanna get stoned. Haha. Me too. Haha. So, go easy, and don't abuse it. Everything in moderation.

Someone, I wonder who, is gonna tell me the president of Brazil is the best thing to happen since Donald Trump, and this is a wonderful thing he's doing. But I'll still call it madness....

I absolutely reject your thesis that any good sense is "progressive", because of the political hijacking of our language to couple tyrannical feudalism and totalitarian governance to any facts whatsoever. Facts can never justify injustice and the demolition of human liberty.

The power of Monsanto and other corporates, and in this case the Dow Chemical public relations makeover, Ag whatever, to wield inordinate influence with any government, Trumpist or Globalist, is the absolute essence of the fascism I am in here deploring, amongst such a crew of mindless enthusiasts for centralized planning, centralized authority, and elitist management.

Yeah, whatever, @babe. Most of the time I can't follow your reasoning anyway. Why should now be any different? Reject any "thesis" of mine to your heart's content. I just want a better future for humanity. I have never sat down and asked myself "what is my political philosophy? What is my social philosophy". I just go about life being myself. I recall a Native American leader once said, I'm sure a paraphrase here, "the white man thinks with his head, the red man thinks with his heart". I do my best to think and listen with my heart, so that I might understand the right and wrong of any situation I encounter. That's my whole approach, to listen with, and think with, my heart. Life is a morality play, and I am in this world but a short time. I do the best that I can do....
