As I was driving to work (bad bad Jayney) and thinking about this. We are really going to have to make changes. I recycle everything, I rarely buy new clothes, we only rarely eat out but I KNOW my carbon footprint is way too big. I think, although my efforts are a little way forward but we need to make massive changes. The cars will have to go, as will our reliance on oil and plastic. I think we have the brains and creativity to make things better but it will take investment from the top down. My Dad says the Earth isn't at risk at all, as humans will die out way before the globe does. It is us that is endangered.

Jacar everyone of the responses here have already debunked your fallaecious islamaphobic nonsense. If I were to spout an unpopular opinion and everyone disagreed, I think I would start to wonder why I think in a certain way and try to challenge my own perceptions and prejudices. You don't. You just continue to hold these views directed largely at one religious group. The facts are not with you. Yes there are a number of radical extremists in Islam as there are in lots of other religions. In fact, having researched it the only 'group' who do no have radical extremists are atheists...mainly because they are not a group, have no charismatic leader and do not protylise. However most Muslims are kind and caring people, as are most Christians and most Jews. Most Buddhists aren't torturing Muslims, Most Hindus aren't rioting with axes. Your enemy is radicalised disenphranchised youth with poverty and empty bellies. Cure that and we'll see an end to extremism. The best way to that is to give them more money.

Amisja comments on May 30, 2019:

You talk about the American way of life but I would suggest that the way of life expected in most western countries views personal acquisition of wealth and status as the focus for happiness. In other societies and other times, we viewed contentment as our contribution to society and care for each other. I would suggest that makes far far more sense.

We have forgotten the good old, patient friendly methods.

Amisja comments on Jun 14, 2019:

The problem is Jacar that you are misinformed and place your hatred of religion soley at the feet of one faith...Islam. in fact all religions have extreme ideas. Jewish women shave their heads and wear wigs. Some ultra ultra orthodox women wear an extreme full head and facial covering. Head covering is endemic amongst lots of separatist christian groups. Extreme cruelty to women is common in JWs and groups like the Plymouth Brethern. FGM (of which I am trained to recognise, record and treat) is a completely non religious activity and is entirely based in African countries. It was widely wiped out with the influx of EU Christians but has returned mostly to NE African countries. As for head coverings in the desert. Well where should I start?

Yes, I am terrified. I think governments are just going to have to be very firm, no more single use plastic, no unnecessary air travel, hugely improve rail and public transport. Then encourage repopulation of bees, fish etc. We can do it but not until the population stops seeing this as lead by a fringe group of dreadlocked hippies and start realising this is REAL.

Amisja comments on Jun 29, 2019:

You have clearly thought about this a great deal and that is commendable. I think the key is evolutionary biology is time...time beyond our ability to imagine. Millions and millions of years. However, we see evolution in real terms every day. Sit a group of 20 years olds in front of a 30 page academic paper and they have no idea how to get through it. Bullet point the same paper on PPt or better still condense into a 'twitter' sized paragraph and they've got it. Time and miniscule changes through each generation (even cellular and molecular generations) gives us what we have today. We know it wasn't a god or intelligent design because of the errors. We would not accept the amount of flaws if the human body was a car. We are an evolutionary work in progess. The majority of adults 40+ have some problems with eyesight. Backs are notoriously dodgy. The upright thing was never meant to be permanent. If you see evolution as a straight line from A-B. From the primodial soup to you, then with respect, you will get in a muddle. Teaching anatomy and physiology reminds me daily how complex the human body is but also how flawed it is. Let me put it this way. I sew, I buy bits of fabric, needles, pins, zips, etc etc..then I make a pattern. Its invariably wrong. I remake it. Then I cut out...might make a mistake, back to the drawing board, lots in the bin. Then I make something up. First fitting, lots of alterations. Back to my sewing table...more alterations. Finally I create something wearable. Except, I am never quite sure. Will it hold up...will the fabric take the first wash, etc etc... Given time the process of creating the flawed muddled disasterous life we have is possible and certainly not requiring divine intervention. If it was, I want my money back!

A "perfect world" is theoretically possible, is it not?

Amisja comments on Jul 13, 2019:

Hitler waa not alone. He had enablers and was encouraged in his activities by his base. He rounded up people and sent them, initially overseas but then into concentration camps. The Nazis had a plan which was excecuted to precision. I don't see this with Trump. In a way, it is almost worst. It was my country who invented concentration camps. During the Boer War we incarerated 45, 000 Afrikaans and basically left them to starve to death. Some of that was intentional but most of it was down to poor management decisions. There was a huge outcry at the time but it still happened. 1000s of white Afrikaans and their black neighbours were killed, many by disease and malnutrition. It was sold to the Brits at home as a battle for Britishness and those complaining were called 'pro-Boer'. Companies were encouraged to distribute union jacks and people were reminded that this was how the empire became great. It did untold damage to SA and the UK. Many british guys were killed too. As a small child I met a vet from the Boer war but had been bayonted through his skull. This, to me is where the similarity lies. To me this is not an ocastrated plan of mass extermination. It is more like they are walking into a situation where people will just starve to death. I have to say though, rounding up illegals does sound a little like, kristallnacht.
