Re: A Couple Clarifications
Then maybe you find it ironic how the poorest people also happen to be the fattest people.
Data please?
Also, you are familiar with the term "food desert" aren't you?

If your viewpoint has merits and facts to back it up why would you have to lie?

Re: some less painful steps the US could take.
What problems are they going to cause? Cancer?

Re: Wind and Solar problems.
They fly into the turbines and they get fried by the intense heat rising from the solar panels when they fly over them. One of our extinction problems is the bird population.
Yes birds fly into turbines, but magnitudes more die from the effects of burning fossil fuels.
Your second point is laughable and shows your complete utter ignorance. Solar panels do not create intense heat. I have them on my house an just last week I saw a bird perched on the edge of a panel.
You really should research before you say stupid things.

Re: Yikes, CATS are the biggest killer of birds
That is different than solar panels. That is a totally different way of harnessing solar power. There are very installations like that and the number of birds killed from them miniscule.

Re: Wind and Solar problems.
The vast majority of solar farms use solar panels. They do not produce extreme heat. There are some facilities that use mirrors to heat a substrate, like salts, but they are a very small percentage of solar facilities. The heat is pinpointed and yes there is potential for birds to be killed but it is an extremely small number compared to total bird mortality.
I would love to see your source on wind farms killing more birds than fossil fuels. Did they actually use science?

Re: Chris Pinto's film on the American Founders
I believe that the US was maintained through the morals of a largely Christian population who were not overly greedy or materialistic until after WWII, when we fell off the rails.
Again you insert your preaching in a place where it is not on topic. Your comment has nothing to do with the current conversation. We know your beliefs, you do not have to spout them willy nilly. Do you have anything to contribute to the actual conversation going on?

Re: Why people like JAR should be ignored.
Bullshit. Who do you think is responsible for the genocide against the natives in the Norths America? Hindus?

Re: Why people like JAR should be ignored.
Maybe you should read more of the history of the Plymouth and Massachusetts colonies.
Massasoit's son, Metacomet, would disagree with your ignorant beliefs.
Genocide of indigenous peoples - Wikipedia

Re: There is nothing in Protestantism to compare to the RCC Inquisition
Like Theodorix you must be calling English settlers Protestants.
Are you claiming colonial settlers to the North America were not Protestant? What the hell do you think they were? Sikh? Taoists?

Re: There is nothing in Protestantism to compare to the RCC Inquisition
Ahh and now we get the strawman.
I'm sorry, cultural or religious clashes are not at all the same thing as an official religious agency intended for the punishment, torture and murder of heretics.

Re: There is nothing in Protestantism to compare to the RCC Inquisition
Is all you and Faith have are strawman arguments? How about you argue against what people are actually saying not try to divert it into some other argument.
Misrepresentation of your opponents arguments shows you have nothing to contribute.
