Possible to check this out. Society is polarizing and smart people are now tending to associate with other smart people to an extent that did not occur earlier. How are their progeny performing?

Can we stop these generalizations? Elsewhere in these comments we have a 'society that thinks'. Now we have the views of 'everybody'. Thanks but no.

There is no such thing as society. There are individuals who have views which may or may not be properly or partially informed. So whose view shall we take on fairness? Whatever let's stop talking about 'what society thinks'.

Each to their own. I find it depressing to watch yet another clueless director desperately trying to make his reputation as a 'fresh talent in opera' with a stage littered with the paraphernalia of modern life and a cast dressed in track and business suits. We can look forward to space suits I suppose or maybe no clothes at all. Are we too dumb to look beyond our own era?

This is its JS port.

I'm 'people' as well and am not alienated. Nothing to stop you offering a mini-lecture on PR but for myself, rather you didn't. I can make up my own mind on Kaya as presented.

If Google 'should' pay taxes and have not, why haven't they been taken to court? That's tax evasion. Tax avoidance is what sensible people do. You look at the rules, follow them and minimize your tax bill. Google's shareholders also expect no less.

No one can stop them (Google)? Of course they can. It's up to countries to change their tax laws if they think they are not fit for the job.

It's terrible at night when there's no wind and during the day when there's cloud cover and no wind. So you run the capital intensive parallel generators - and that's called running fully on renewable, is it?

You are notes in Markdown? What Sir, a mere note?

What a load of begging questions. I wonder what you have to be, to be special according to the flavor of meaning you just happen to prefer?

Implosion Sphere for Fat Man nearly assembled and about to be placed inside it's casing.

"Its casing". Why do people have such a problem with it's and its?

If Putin is indeed immensely rich then it's difficult to see how he could accumulate such wealth other than by corrruption. If corruption is responsible for some folk's wealth in the US, the appropropriate agencies should get to work and nail them and one has a reasonable expectation that due process will occur. Dream on with Putin. Isn't that the difference between Russia and the US?

'With industrial society, on the other hand, we work as much as possible because it is labor that gives us money. '.

Labor doesn't give us money. Creation of value in goods or sevices (as perceived by others) which may or may be accompanied by proportionate labor provides us with money. Marx, a clever man, nevertheless made this fundamental mistake.

But this scenario doesn't seem to have convinced the governments of the world does it? Maybe they've taken on the argument in http://topher.com.au/50-to-1-video-project/

Your test for integrity? You have a sense of humor.

How about David Lindsay's Arcturians (Voyage to Arcturus) who were able to see two extra colors namely jale and ulfire. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/A_Voyage_to_Arcturus

'the body can make Vitamin D by itself'. Sorry for underlining the obvious but no, it can't. It needs sunlight and the prevalence of rickets (as a result of vit D deficiency) in women who by custom, habitually cover themselves and live in somewhat sun-free England is a demonstration of this.

Not true. They will once they understand the significance of the Westminster parliament losing 52 Scottish Labour MPs which would leave the rest of the UK with a strong Tory majority.

If the vote is YES the Prime Minister in office when independence takes effect (most likely to be Labour) would certainly have to resign.

'Is it possible alcohol could just be killing bacteria enough to reduce the effect?' Answer: 'yes it is possible'.

The strawman of 'association and causation' is introduced by you. Congratulations on knocking it down!

Why "technology" in inverted commas? That's an unwarranted sneer.

That may be your belief but there are plenty of people who think otherwise. http://biasedbbc.org/

Maybe I've missed something but where is the exaggeration in the headline 'Methylphenidate Exposure Induces Dopamine Neuron Loss in Mice '? You mean it doesn't and they're wrong?

I don't know about 'unfriendly' but these appear to be the numbers:

"The French consulate in London estimates between 300,000 and 400,000 French citizens live in the British capital" which compares to city populations as follows:

    Paris - 2.3m
    Marseille - 859,000
    Lyon - 488,000
    Toulouse - 447,000
    Nice - 344,000

whereas "20,500 of the 135,000 expat Brits in the country live in or close to Paris".

In that case the UK is in an even worse predicament:

Main thing is to keep the show (and funding) ticking along nicely. I'm sure it will.

Nice to know you're sure of the cause. Nothing to do with anything other factors of course. Meawhile this https://www.taxpayers.org.au/tophers-latest-the-true-cost-of... - a cost/benefit analysis - suggests re-evaluation of those other issues which <can> be fixed.

I think you mean 'subject to further studies, we think that .... x and y levels of these substances are safe'.

You can make your own projections: they are likely to be as accurate as any others taking into account the success rate of climate modellers.

Sociologist Hector Vera has called the metric system “more popular than Jesus.”. I'd rather not have my name associated with such a crass comment.
