I'm ashamed to be of the same nationality as you in fact.

Dude, tell me, when did you lose your marbles? I've been on this forum for more than 10 years and not once I claimed to be a kangaroo.

Well thank God for that! Thank you, I mean thank you. What a relief to know.
No I don't know what you are or where you're from mp, and if you yourself thought the knowledge was important you'd have restated it wouldn't you? But you don't want to "Set me straight" though you've had plenty of opportunity, very strange... Almost like you're ashamed of the facts. Or assume I'll treat you like a neighbor and ask?

I spend my time here researching information and posting it up, not keeping track of posters who may vanish for a year. I did waste some time though going back to see your thoughts, back in the day when you expressed them rationally.

It seems you're a cornucopian, though you make out like you're in the middle ground, the grey.

What some people call "collapse" is simply "change" for others.
So I won't even try to define collapse.
Maybe that's the right way of looking at it? It's just change. And you have to change with it?

I guess an example would be when Elizabeth Holmes was sentenced to 11 Years and her company Theranos went out the back door. She certainly experienced change, as did all the investors in Theranos, but the reality was it collapsed, the only people coming out even or ahead being the Lawyers the competition and shorts.

This is the problem when you try to get philosophical about reality, when you view the world as a rainbow, or grey. One day you may end up at the wrong end of a pointy stick and don't know how you got there. One day you're listening to the Proconsul's plan to reinvigorate the local baths when the Goths march in and you lose it all. Or perhaps you're sitting on a wall in Hiroshima reading about the Empires plans to thwart the American invasion when you're suddenly surrounded by a blinding light. There are times in life to lift your head above the newspaper and figure it out for yourself but you'll never do that while you're head is full of futuristic hopium. The destruction or Rome or of Japan was obvious in the lead up to it, but everyone was invested in the old system and couldn't leave town so to speak. No one, or very few, had a plan B

Preparing for evil times is no different than going to the dentist. Take action as soon as you see a problem and all's well, but put it off and off and you'll be getting painful extractions. I know this from personal experience, but luckily all-on-4 dental tech came along and saved the day. More than that, better than before. But just because tech can solve some problems doesn't mean it can solve all, though many believe just that. Trump and IT will make America great again is one such fallacy. Once again, thank you mp, it's comforting to know your not Australian. I mean that sincerely.

shut up adam, the adults are talking

Well, one is. I'll let you guess which one it is...oh wait....that would require you think. Sorry. You might be adult in age, but carrying around the education of a 12 year old rules out you being an adult in the mental sense.

And we can tell from your posting history you aren't a cretin.

I did find it amusing as well, this asshat doesn't even know where you have claimed to be from in the past....just makes shit up.

At least as a parrot he looks things up, posts a quote presenting only one side, not having the brains to understand the bias is explicit in the way he discusses OTHER people's thoughts. Because he can't have any on his own.

He is interesting in that he resembles a larger share of the clientel around here from yesteryear. Doomers looking for a place to doom with others of similar mindsets, all quoting the same sources and not bothering to ask basic questions, even when I would provide hints. It isn't as though the science disputing a bad idea wasn't already out in the open.

And this halfwit is just repeating all of THAT nonsense as though it is new to anyone but him.

yes Australia is the lucky country adam, never forget that!

Boulder has one of the highest crime rates in America compared to all communities of all sizes - from the smallest towns to the very largest cities. One's chance of becoming a victim of either violent or property crime here is one in 26. Within Colorado, more than 89% of the communities have a lower crime rate than Boulder.

Importantly, when you compare Boulder to other communities of similar population, then Boulder crime rate (violent and property crimes combined) is quite a bit higher than average. Regardless of how Boulder does relative to all communities in America of all sizes, when NeighborhoodScout compared it to communities of similar population size, its crime rate per thousand residents stands out as higher than most.

Why the high rate of crime? It only has a population of 100k. Ahhh well, ours is not to reason why, ours is but to move or die hey.

Neighbor of yours adam?

Lucky how? Because your countries insignifcance means that China hasn't chosen to take you over for your mineral resources and inability to defend yourself against anything other than unarmed aborigines?

Lucky indeed...just remember...if you stay on your knees and keep making your King happy, he might decide to help you out.

Interesting. Good thing I don't live in Boulder I guess?

Interestingly, here is a list of Top 10 US cities and crime, normalized for population size.

Boulder isn't on the list. Wait! I get it! The man-child parrot is making stuff up again! Silly me...forgetting I'm dealing with someone who ranks up there with Army, lacking any ability to know the difference between what IS true, and stuff they want to imagine is true.
