Comment Big diffirence between evolution and climate chang (Score 1) 591

Its good that a scientific fact such as evolution is learned at school. Evolution is a scientific fact. There is no scientist that disagrees with it. The only people who disagree with it are radical religious people because it contradicts with their religion. Climate change is something totally different. That is if with that they mean man made global warming. Because climate change is normal, it has always been changing (ice ages, warm periods). Whether the earth is heating upp is up to debate. Scientists disagree about this. The last 15 years it has not gotten any warmer. Even among scientists who believe that there is a warming they disagree in the cause. Whether its natural or there is a human cause. Of those that believe there is a human factor they disagree how big the human factor is. From slightly helping a natural phenomenon to causing in. Global warming believers ignore natural factors such as the activity of the sun. Or other facts. Facts are that humans produce less then 4% of all CO2. CO2 has never driven climate in the past. In fact, information from ice drills proved that there was a link between climate and CO2 but its the other way around. When the temperature rises CO2 rises, when the temperature drops CO2 levels drop. But CO2 lags behind 500 years. This is because oceans let go CO2 when they heat and take it in when they cool down. But they take a very long time to heat or cool.

Comment Interesting, but... (Score 1) 755

Interesting experiment. I do have moral problems in giving away money to people who do not need it. Or who simply don't want to work. For instance people who are handicapped should receive more money then healthy people because they are not able to work or are not able to work the same amount of hours that a healthy person can, or receive lower wage because their handicap makes them slower. So I think for those people the basic income should be higher. Also how high would it be? Just enough to pay for basic needs (so same as welfare)? Or higher? Whether or not people work depends in part to how high it will be. What happens if you work? If you keep the minimum income regardless of what you do that might trigger some people who have welfare to work because they keep the money they earn whereas today in most countries if you can't earn more then the welfare they cut your welfare (so you profit nothing). So today it doesn't make sense to work unless you can earn more then welfare. I am worried that a minimum income will cause huge inflation. Rising costs like rent, prices of products etc.. Which would make it useless (or making it rise endlessly). Won't this just benefit the rich? People who currently get a lot of support will probably get the sum of that support (welfare, rent support, health support etc.) as basic income. Whereas rich people will have their current income plus the basic income.

Comment Hacking is worse then cheating (Score 1) 446

Off course cheating is immoral. But so is hacking and publishing personal information. Actually that is worse. Cheating is just immoral, but not a crime. Hacking and violation of privacy is immoral AND a crime punishable by law. Besides who says the account info is correct? What is people make accounts using someone elses name? I would asume that if you want to start an affair you won't use your own name and address. People who don't cheat can get in trouble because people use their names on this site.
