Have you seen the insurance ad that claims Americans on average live in eleven different places?

Moravian comments on May 13, 2019:

Since I bought my first house at the age of 33, I have lived in 9 different places. If I include rented flats and houses prior to this I could add a further 12, a total of 21. This is probably quite unusual for the UK where people don't tend to move so much.

Why "awe inspiring" photo of mom-daughter pilot team is "good for aviation"

Moravian comments on May 13, 2019:

Maybe good for aviation, but aviation is not good for us. Trains,buses and cars can be electric but planes rely on jet fuel pumping out megatonnes of CO2 each year. the only alternative is biofuels which are just as damaging to the environment.

Am I the only atheist that doesn’t smoke pot?

Moravian comments on May 12, 2019:

Yes. what's the matter with you ?

Religion and tradition repressed people and kept them stupid.

Moravian comments on May 12, 2019:

I think i see what you are saying. For one thing the dark ages when the Roman catholic church was dominating Europe scientific advancement virtually stopped but The USA which is by far the most religious country is at the forefront of the destruction of the world we live. Our only hope is that the science that is causing the damage will also reverse it.

Only in the good old US of A. In the UK it is much safer, something like -- man-- "I had to walk two mile to school in any weather"--Kid-- . My mum drives me to school and I am obese because of lack of exercise and my asthma is bad because of the traffic fumes

So been here about two months, disappointed not to see more Brits but no big deal.

Moravian comments on May 12, 2019:

Journalist John Soper has written a book called "if only they didn't speak English". It talks about the cultural differences between the UK and the USA.The attitude to religion is one big difference. As you say it is really no big deal here.

Atheism is too dull, too barren and too bland to be appealing for me.

Moravian comments on May 12, 2019:

Philosophy is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat. Metaphysics is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there. Theology is like being in a dark room and looking for a black cat that isn't there, and shouting "I found it!" Science is like being in a dark room looking for a black cat while using a flashlight. Hope you have fun looking for that black cat

Moravian comments on May 11, 2019:

We are making progress. But is it fast enough ?.I read book recently on climate change written in 2006 and the author was bemoaning the fact that in the UK we only produce 2% of our electricity from renewable resources. Earlier this year it up to 40% and for a week none was produced from coal powered stations. My hope is that those lunatics don't try any of those mad geoengineering projects that are being talked about. The results could be disasterous.

The first onslaught for tariffs has already taken place.

Moravian comments on May 11, 2019:

I know it is not his intention but transporting goods and farm produce from continent to continent is a major contributor to climate change so to go back to more locally produced stuff can only be a good thing.

My father could just about make a cup of tea, but that was not uncommon back then i left home at 16 and after living in bed sits and sharing flats i learnt the basics. I enjoy cooking especially when it is appreciated and I think it is a bit pathetic if anyone cannot cook, male or female.

No. it is a barbaric practice and totally unnecessary apart from a few cases. It is not so common in the UK apart from religious reasons but seems to be common practice in the USA. Probably just a habit but the medical profession should counsel against it.. With privatised health care it probably makes them some money. Normal hygiene is all that is required for health reasons.

Trump said to her" That man is better off than me. He has $8 million more than I have".Meaning that he had debts of $8 million. She thought this was very amusing. what an appalling family

Could you stay isolated for five days in total isolation as an asocial experiment?

Moravian comments on May 8, 2019:

Depends what you mean by total isolation. I wouldn't fancy being locked in a cell for five days but to spend five days without seeing another person would be no big deal. for example living in a remote cabin with a few good books. There was a an early pop song with the words "people who need people are the luckiest people in the world". Absolute nonsense. People who are self contained and can live without human contact are the lucky ones.
