Hi, I'm Lindsay. I'm a 54 year old Twitter runaway who likes reading, chess, current affairs, science, sport, education, writing and learning about interesting stuff. I loved having access to people a lot smarter and more interesting than I am!

Christians are fucking liars. Their own book tells the story…Life Begins At Birth

"Life begins at birth - with

the first breath (Gen 2:7).

Fetuses are not persons

(Ex 21:22-25). Fetuses

should be aborted as proof

of adultery (Numbers 5:11-

31). Life is not sacred

(Deuteronomy 28: 18-24).

God will rip open pregnant

mothers-to-be (2 Kings

8:12). Israelite King

Menahem ripped open

pregnant women (2 Kings

15:16). God will kill unborn

fetuses (Isaiah 13:18). God

will destroy fetuses in

utero (Hosea 9:10-16). God

will dash infants in pieces

and rip open pregnant

women (Hosea 13:16. In

I don't believe starting an unjustified war that most Americans don't want is the best way to avoid electoral consequences for being a paedophile President whose promises about improving the economy and reducing costs for ordinary people have exploded as much as those bombs.

I'm sick of seeing all these 'impeach' posts and '25th' posts and asking Republicans to show morals posts. Not because impeachment isn't justified but because it's not going to happen. I'd like to win the lottery too but it's a poor financial plan! Voting and protesting is the way.

So powerful in his straightforward reporting of the facts. And this is just one area in which the government of the United States is being dictatorial. I expect this in China, I expect it in Russia, I expect it in North Korea. Yet, here it is, in the United States.

Nine Important Facts
• Number 9 - Death is the number 1 killer in the world
• Number 8 - Life is sexually transmitted.
• Number 7 - Good health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.
• Number 6 - Men have two emotions: hungry and horny, and they can't tell them apart. If you see a gleam in his eyes, make him a sandwich.
• Number 5 - Give a person a fish and you feed them for a day. Teach a person to use the Internet and they won't bother you for weeks, months, maybe years.
• Number 4 - Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in the hospital, dying of nothing.
• Number 3 - All of us could take a lesson from the weather. It pays no attention to criticism.
• Number 2 - In the 60's, people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is weird, and people take Prozac to make it normal.
• Number 1 - Life is like a jar of jalapeno peppers.

Congrats, Liverpool. You perfected a style of play that had the best of Arsenal's discipline and stoicism without the dull its and some of Nottingham's feral wildness but mostly you just played highly skilled, imaginative, consistent football through a grueling schedule.
tons of quotes saying Liverpool's coach would never amount to a hill of beans.

And a 50% reduction wouldn't delay that topping out by any significant amount on a geological scale. Only cold turkey does that. I think we were doomed for a climate change catastrophe once we developed industrial methods of mining and using fossil fuels.

I think it's because most of us aren't truly willing to make the sacrifices either. Fossil fuels have been the backbone of our changed lifestyles and to demand our societies go cold turkey and stop using them forever is hard. Even a 50% cut in our annual use would simply delay the topping out.

The reason I'm not getting worked up over Trump's appalling policies is that he made it extremely fucking clear that this is is precisely what he would be doing in office. For a man who lies as often as he breathes, he didn't bullshit us about his policy goals. Maybe people should have listened.
