Don't exaggerate. That only happens if you fly into DFW.

Re: Trump has Covid :::: BREAKING NEWS

I know its a horrible thing to say but I really hoped he would suffer from it. Not because I wish him bad but because of the misinformation he will spout if he only has mild symptoms. I truly fear that the result of this will be the cost more lives and more economic hardship as his followers will g...

Re: Trump has Covid :::: BREAKING NEWS

You seem to be giving validity to this mistrust of science, Monocle. I am saying it is a very foolish reaction to the imperfections and the learning curves of Science (and of Man). Yes indeed, use your critical judgement - that's what science does about itself all the time. Science has that ^^ self...

Re: Trump has Covid :::: BREAKING NEWS

It seems in this brave new world more and more people believe there is no empirical truth. When did modern man loose his ability to discern "fake news" from actual reality? and just give up trying It is particularly worrying when this is applied to society and politics - particularly worr...

Re: First Presidential Debate Between TRUMP-BIDEN (Streaming Live)

I really tried to watch this debate, but after a while I just turned it off. I knew it was going to be like watching a divorced couple screaming at each other, but I really hoped there would be at least some genuine, factual policy content. All I saw was deflection and an immediate revert to "Y...

Re: American facing jail for negative reviews of Thai resort

The customer was probably a jerk, and wrote an unnecessarily vindictive review. But every business owner, hotel or otherwise, knows you have to deal with that. I have customers that leave unfair, crappy and downright false reviews all the time. Worse, satisfied customers don't leave reviews, so the ...

Re: Adults depending on their children - social criticism

Not sure what it is you don't understand. Everything you say is true from a Western perspective. But that is irrelevant here. From an Asian perspective, the parents supported the children up until they were old enough to work, and it is simply common sense that the children must now support the pare...

Re: How much gold is left to mine?

How much gold is left to mine? You are asking the wrong question. There are huge amounts remaining to be mined. There are even 9 mcgs of gold in every cubic meter of seawater. The tquestion is not how much is left, but how much is left to be mined at a particular price point and at a specified rate....

Re: Supreme Court Justice RGB Dies

The Supreme Court will most likely be called to declare the winner of this presidential election, as well as other contests. With a split court of 4-4, it will be impossible to decide the winner. That's not how it works. Each individual disputed result might end up in court, that court will make a ...
