#678700 — Suppose everyone believed transgender blacks were an insurance risk.

Suppose everyone believed transgender blacks were an insurance risk;
truthy or not, insurance companies would gladly charge them more;
it's political, not scientific.

They're a dangerous "cult/religion/opiate", like communism, saying:

  Pay more (taxes), conform to our (onerous) regulations, 
  or die in our "ReEducation" camps.  We're the elite, the best;
  we decide for you, so you don't have to.

"Uppers" ( caffeine, cocaine, meth, adderall, and testosterone )
make us obnoxious and arrogant ( "Bow Down before me, you worm", style ).

"Do you believe in God" is a euphemism for "Do you believe in me".
"God is Great" is a euphemism for "I am Great".
"God hates fags" is a euphemism for "I hate fags".

God is obnoxious and arrogant ( "Bow Down before me, you worm", style ).

"What we chose" (consumption) has been programmed into us ( by nature ).
Ways to do it:

  1. Live Fast ( consume more now ), Die Fast.
  2. Live Slow, Die Later ( consume more later ).
  3. Sacrifice yourself ( so the tribe can consume more ).

Either way, the (PreProgrammed) objective is the same: consume.
We ( you, me, and the stars ) consume what we can, given our options;
we don't even -know- our future, much less control it.

Suicides, homicides, homelessness and war are bad PTSD/pain management.
Heroin and OxyContin were sold as safe opiates -- they aren't.
Likewise, communism is not a safe opiate/religion.

Everyone has a theory, no one has a solution.

Cuba is wrong.  North Korea is wrong.
Stop insisting that everyone "earns" the same income,
no matter his race, gender, age, competence, etc.

We _need_ losers, lots of them;
it's how we progress -- we select the best.
    
Stop pretending that we all need to drive Mercedes, 
dropping off kids for soccer practice.

Stop punishing sex workers and heroin addicts.
Stop saying:
    This ( my heavy hand ) is what you get, you degenerate.

Yeah, sometimes Relf gets diarrhea and instead of a mere Relf dropping 
you get a torrent of stuff like that.

The geography of Denmark
A field, a tree, a field, a forest, a field, a farm, a cow, a field…
That pretty much sums up the Danish landscape, especially seen from a
car. No mountains, no cliffs, not even a lot of hills. Really boring and
monotonous. Denmark is flat as a pancake,

Winter
Sure, the first day of snow is beautiful, but after a short while it
turns into annoying brown muck. If there isn’t any snow then it’s
raining, and it’s pitch dark when you go to school/work in the morning
and pitch dark when you go home again. Last winter,I felt like I was
permanently freezing cold from November to April.

Janteloven/the Law of Jante
There’s many positive sides to the Danish mentality, but one that
bothers me is ‘Janteloven’, the Law of Jante. Humility is a good thing,
at least in moderate doses, but in Denmark it’s seen as outright
appalling for a person to have succes and – god forbid – acknowledge it.
Influence from the US has improved the view on being successful, but
talking about it, bragging, is still a cardinal sin.

Denmark’s “failed” multiculturalism

Plain-spoken politics, participatory civic culture and generous social
security are advantages that come with drawbackshe generosity of the
country’s social-security net has made people quicker to accuse
immigrants of exploiting it. Meanwhile, a highly cohesive and demanding
civic culture, which was the basis of Denmark’s liberal social-welfare
policies, has alienated anyone who finds it hard to conform. This has
made the country fertile ground for Islamist recruitment. Over 100
Danish jihadists have gone to Syria and Iraq, one of the highest rates
per person in Europe.

Sci-Am = Journalist Pseudo-science. No real science at Sci-Am for years!

"Kensi" and "journalists" are still playing the fraud that increased 
storm damage is due to more severe weather rather than increased 
population in denser urban development. A total disingenuous 
misrepresentation.

"kensi", you need to understand the in science lies and deceptions 
unlike politics (especially leftist politics) are considered unethical 
behavior and reason to be kicked out of science.

Please post your actual name and address so we can inform your employer 
of your unacceptable internet behavior.

Rather than a misrepresentation, that emphasizes the double wammy
of the problem:
more people/property at risk.
greater chance of severe weather.
total--> Oh boy!

I think the actuaries are looking over the next few decades,
but I did not read the report that was the source for the article.
Certainly the MBA don't look centuries ahead. 6 months seems
a long timeframe to them. These insurance companies want to know
what to do now, in the next quarter or two.

It may be a little late, but it may be a good sign that businesses
are considering the effects on their own bottom line.

that's all I'm saying.

**Really? You sure about that?

Post your proof of your claim. While you are at it, tell us about these 
scientific journals. Are they also pseudo-science?

**"Fraud"? OK, I'll ask once more: Please submit your own scientific 
credentials as they relate to climate science, so that we may take your 
claims seriously.
