Shouldn't the next CAT 5 be named DONALD JOHN in honor of the current prez? He certainly has a DEVASTATING EFFECT, does MUCH DAMAGE and possibly KILLS those that get in his way. Whaddaya say hey hey hey? He'd be honored. Anything with his name on it thrills delights ecstaticizes him. Anything bearing his moniker is a good good thing of course. The United States of Trump! The Trump Constitution! The Trump pledge of allegiance. The TRUMP FLAG! The TRUMP BASE. Trump truth. Trump justice. Trump honor. Trump currency. less

Why are some folks so negative 24/7 while others see the point you make and extrapolate?Does it have to do with level of intelligence or is it entirely due to being visionary creative inventive imaginative? Which brings up another question which I'm gonna ask. It's just really interesting to see what one question/assertion brings forth from folks. less

They get health insurance. They don't have to do diddly but attack "the other". Discuss and pass legislation that is beneficial to "we the people"? Why should they?If other "professions" were geared the way politics is well he** there'd be lazy leeches sucking up benefits without doing a dam* thing. Get paid for insulting attacking lying. That would make a fine ad for jobseekers wouldn't it? "Requirements? Insult attack lie. Get paid for it!" Who could resist a job like that? Sheesh. less

Let's let it all hang out. Why not? Those questions have as much to do with whether or not someone is a CITIZEN census-wise. The requirement is to COUNT ALL THE PEOPLE. Not citizens alone. Why anyone who is sane rational and NOT RACIST thinks that is a great idea is beyond me. Are YOU sane and rational or are you a white populist nationalist racist who has to know who the citizens are so you can punish them? less

The guy who once upon a time said "Jeff is a TERRIFIC guy" or the guy who sez "I was NEVER a fan"?They can't both be true. One of those statements IS A LIE. Do we get to choose which?

How do parents who work for the sb with DAUGJHTERS continue to work for a man whom they ought never trust to be alone with their daughters? What's wrong with them?
... moreHow long will life survive on planet Earth?
Life on Earth will surely be wiped out eventually. But how long does it have, and what will it take to sterilise the entire planet?
By Colin Barras
23 March 2015
All things must pass. That includes life on Earth, which will surely be wiped out eventually. But how long does it have?
The fossil record tells us that life on Earth has lasted at least 3.5 billion years. In that time it has survived being frozen, clobbered by rocks from space, mass poisoning, and even lethal radiation. Clearly, it's hard to completely sterilise the planet.
But there's no shortage of potential apocalypses. Which of them will finally render the Earth barren?

Volcanic apocalypse
Timeframe: 0-100 million years? Maybe?
Probably the nearest life has come to ultimate destruction was 250 million years ago, during the end-Permian mass extinction. The event obliterated perhaps 85% of all species living on land... less
