When did he say they were inefficient in their messaging?

Also it requires shipping oil to fuel the mining operations needed to produce full scale renewable energy. But if we wait a little bit the quality of power output from the same mining inputs will improve which means renewable later requires less total mining than full scale renewable now, and so you will use less fuel to do that smaller amount of mining.

What people don't realize is that the expense of renewable technology mostly is fuel. Fuel to mine it, fuel to move the raw materials, fuel to refine it, fuel to manufacture it, fuel to ship it to you. The total labor is quite small. So if taken on a specific case the financial perspective alone of a particular application of renewable vs conventional energy the numbers don't add up then likely the renewable is less green. If you wait a little bit for the green cost to come down that indicates improved efficiencies and now it actually is green.

So the answer to make the world more green is not to shift our calculations to spend money on green solutions beyond financial sense. It's to work on technology to lower green costs until it naturally makes sense and thereby also make it more green at the same time.

What if I told you 90% of humans do that.

This is why pirating is justified. If you want your shows to last forever, torrent them, and keep them seeded.

Any cause benefited by stupidity is not a good cause. And that does apply to both sides.

It also doesn't make much sense in the particular context considering on a genetic level Palestinians are as Semitic as modern Ashkenazi jews. And it doesn't make much sense from a religious stand point because modern Judaism differs from ancient Judaism by about the same amount as Christianity or Islam does. Modern Judaism just has this dogma that Ancient Judaism was secretly observing their form of it even though if we don't take them at their word there isn't a lot of evidence of that.

So from a religious standpoint it doesn't make a lot of sense. And from an ethnic standpoint it makes even less sense.

And also we don't let Europeans say "these are our ethnic lands" without calling them racist. So then why would we let people who are like 2% ethnic ancient jewish retroactively claim ethnic ownership of some land without calling them racist? They will claim it's not about race and about religion. Ok, which is worse, a group of highly militant ethno-nationalists, or a group of highly militant theo-nationalists? Zionists are always one of two bad things and they will use arguments to play wackamole about which one to deflect the claims of one. Apparently if you are two bad things at once and it is unclear if you are both or just one of those things you get unlimited license to be both of those bad things.

If you think Rust has zero rough edges you might have drunk too much kool aid.

So then animal sacrifice is meant to be continued by Christians? The "did not come to abolish but fulfill" thing is really an explanation for abolishment. He didn't destroy the law but completed it, so it's done. And by law we basically mean Leviticus. So yes, Leviticus pretty much is irrelevant. By your argument and the argument embedded in OPs post Christians should still be stoning women and not eating pork.

How can you know which chapter of Matthew starts the sermon on the mount and not know pretty much the most core concept in Christian theology? Like that is almost the whole central point of Jesus is that he abolished the law by fulfilling it. That and salvation. That's like the two things.

Of course then why doesn't Israel do this?

 
 

These larger polls do seem to get better results. I hope you all can also make it on Saturday.

Also a similar thread on my own site went into the future of these movie nights and my site if interested: https://matrix.gvid.tv/c/Announcements/9KG4tTH1iV

 

I know. It's a big poll.

More details are here:
