It is still the third leading cause of death. Maybe even higher now.

So not the most important one to deal with. It's like putting out a
candle in the hall when your entire kitchen is on fire.

It is the most preventable of the three =E2=80=94 and still at third WITH
lots of
precautions.

But it's still a very small chance of you actually dying of it, lower than a
percent!

So what? And that makes it OK to risk the lives of others? That means it is OK
to have life-long health issues from it as 1/3 of those who get it likely
will? That makes it OK to deeply disrespect the medical community as they are
overrun?

You have such little compassion for others is an issue for you, and not one I
can solve.

Again, your lack of compassion is on you... a "bad trait" if you will.

And those without compassion are bad for society... so by your own standards
should you not be weeded out?

I'm not telling people to live "dangerously", I'm telling them not to
insist that I don't.

And insisting on a special entitlement to risk their lives =E2=80=94
showing a lack
of compassion on your part.

You changed the topic to a straw man. Not biting.



I'm not ripping off people's masks.

man-made global climate change,

It was 1C here in Scotland a few days ago, in spring. There is no global
warming.

Denial of the fact from you. That is what I mean.

I can see the temperature with my own eyes! It's on the thermometer over
there!

You use a local temperature to try to deny evidence of man-made global
climate
change. Your logic is flawed.

So magically my part of the world stays the same and the rest goes up?
Right.... Look, just move to the place that's the temperature you like, if
you're fussy enough to care about the alleged 2C change.

Selection bias

Stop using silly psychological labels you've read somewhere.

Do you even know what it is you are being called out on?

Yeah I looked it up and it's bull****.

By all means explain what you think it is.



is not a good way to look at climate. I say go with the
evidence.

I have plenty evidence right here, the weather outside my house is what it
always has been.

Likely untrue but also not relevant.

It's true and it's a good unbiassed data point.

A single data point is irrelevant to the big picture. Again, you are pushing a
claim that is contrary to the evidence... and doing so based on your faith.

You mock those with faith, even as you push your own.




And moving does not reduce man-made global climate change, nor its harm.

Of course it does. If it becomes too hot to grow crops where you live,
move further north, or grow more appropriate crops. The UK will be able
to grow oranges. Russia will become a huge farmland instead of frozen
wastes.

Food supplies will be harmed =E2=80=94 more than they are now.

What evidence do you have for this? At the moment we have food growing well
in some places and not at all in others. So they swap about, who cares?

Easy to find much more.

By the way, this ties into a past topic... the Services you can add on macOS.
If you did a few minutes of research and wanted to get the 20 URLs you found
copied for sharing, and have them indented and bracketed like that, how would
you do that?

I say increase the choice. Many who get an abortion would not have needed
one
if they had more choices -- this is based on the evidence of better
education,
free birth control, more access to Planned Parenthood and the like, etc.

It's not rocket science to use a condom. You don't need education for
something that simple. Even if you forget/were drunk, there's a morning
after pill.

Evidence shows education works.

You mean brainwash. Let people make their own decisions.


I mean what I said... not what you worked to twist it to. Being educated
allows people to make more informed decisions. THAT is what I am advocating.



and in some cases even things like evolution.

Evolution could take place if we let coronavirus kill off the weak.

Evolution IS taking place. And the more the virus spreads the more it
mutates
/ evolves.

I was obviously talking about the evolution of humans to fight it off.
Think
about Eskimos and the cold virus.

And we as a species have evolved the ability to make vaccines.

No, we've invented the ability to screw up our future evolution.

Evolution has no plan. It is not forward "thinking" -- it does not think at
all.

It doesn't have to. It works by simply deleting the failures. But
society is allowing those failures to breed, producing more failures.

People have not stopped you from breeding. True enough. Are you suggesting
you should have been sterilized?

I don't need to be, I'm clever enough to realise there are plenty of genes
better than mine so I would never pass mine on. I don't think I would even
if I was perfect, since the world is vastly overpopulated.

Fair enough.
