News / 1.3% birth rate = Poland's slow death [221]

There is also coal,

There's a lot more work to be done figuring out how to keep it from burning so dirty. Also, it is hard to get. Ever seen the way they top mountains to get it?

Nuclear energy has a lot of potential - just needs some tweaking.

Mining just one medium sized asteroid from the belt between Mars and Jupiter could provide more minerals than we have mined in all human history.

But not oil, That is why the technology is more important. You would need to find a planet that has some kind of life on it in order to find oil and you would need a planet lacking any kind of life capable of utilizing the oil and even then you would be considered an invasive species harming the delicate evolution of that planet. You would deprive future souls of using their own oil. Would that be just and ethical?

Getting oil on the ocean floor? Deep sea drilling? You do know it's easier for men to walk on the moon than it is this?

o Exist? Why it would be a problem?

Well, most importantly people need water. You would be surprised at how water is treated around the planet. So much of it is polluted and then what little is left they put a huge price tag on. Water challenges will be paramount in the coming years.

Huge oil fields are discovered all the time, it is simply as of now not profitable to develop them. It may change in 20 years or it may not, but oil IS there.

You know, in Canada they are converting oil sands to oil which is very costly. If they are going to that much trouble, it should be a heads up on the situation and you should realize there isn't a lot of oil left. No one knows how much there is because to find out, one has to drill and hope they get an active well. Many times wells are drilled then nothing. No oil comes out of it. If it were so easy to get this mysterious oil you claim exists, they would have gotten it before converting oil sands. It would take more energy to get the oil than the amount of oil produced.

Whether its cheap oil or electric propelled tools doesnt matter.

Solar panels are the best option.

Birth rate reduction = greater % of non-workers.

It's not a matter of "workers" more like, "people requiring resources to exist."

We can have unlimited energy from sun or geothermal sources.

This is true and the technology should be enhanced. Human species should devote a lot of time and energy toward this.

World resources ARE more or less unlimited.

How can you honestly believe this about oil? There is only so much oil in the mantle. After it is extracted, it is gone forever. It will not be there after it is used and it is being rapidly depleted now. Doesn't matter how much oil is under the oceans because it will be used just as quickly. Then after that -nothing- unless new technology is developed.

Then what should happen, Lodz? Should people just continually have children to the point there's billions of people living on one continent? Should they keep having more children than the generation before just to care for the previous generation? How is that going to be sustainable?

I just don't understand the mentality that the earth has to have such a huge population density or the human species is somehow in decline. Some people will not be satisfied until every square kilometer has a thousand people living on it and even then they will insist more needs to be added.

all the "examples" they chose to represent the different races looked horribly ugly

Humans are generally ugly.

Why is everyone always so concerned with people's reproductive choices? There will always be Poles in Poland. Just leave them alone and let them do it their way. They know what they can handle. The younger generation cannot constantly care for the older one. People are going to have to find a better way to do things.

Life / What's the deal with Polish Piracy? [27]

Its not in googles best interests to remove search results form their engines, but what it does stringently search and remove is YouTube (because they own it) content especially musical content. Ive uploaded many vids that have not made it past the verification process, or revisited older vids that have been silenced under copyright laws.

I bet the music industry puts the clamp on Google over copyright laws so Google tries to do more to stop copyrighted music from being aired. Google sees government as the enemy and might be more reluctant to cooperate with it.

These agencies would, most likely, appeal to as many search engines as possible so they wouldn't see something on one search engine that isn't on another.

I found it quite amusing that the Polish govs request had been turned down.

I skimmed through your link and found that Google turns down many requests.

I misunderstood, WB. I thought you were implying Jason was somehow involved in getting the attention of these agencies with his accounts and posts and it showed up on Google. I thought how can you know it's him when there's so many other people it could be.

Do you think those have something to do with Jason? It's doubtful because there are millions of other people who could be responsible.

Life / Polish vs British vs American - Clash of cultures [390]

Like molesting little kids and allowing them to do it again and again.

Yes, there were crimes committed and cover ups but the Church has learned from this experience and doesn't do things the same way. In fact, there are so many scandals and accusations of wrongdoing in the recent past, this is the best time to be a Catholic because everyone will be doing their best to behave.

Travel / Warsaw city bikes [14]

We have bikes for rent here as well. It would be more fun riding around Poland as I am sure the weather is much better in the summer there than it is here.

It's not just a British oddity.

I haven't seen a double tap sink in quite a while but my friend did see a lot of them in Britain where she lived as a foreign exchange student. She made friends and went back to stay a while so the double taps didn't bother her too much.

Off-Topic / I am a Pariah: My Horror Story [44]

Back then, lots of people with very ethnic sounding names changed them to ones that would fit in with Americans. It was common.

My Polish genes seem to be dominant as well.

USA, Canada / USA time zones [6]

Actually, it's not really an hour behind since it's the same time here just different numbers. When it's seven pm here, it's eight on the east coast so they see the programming at eight, we see it at seven but we are actually seeing it the same time they are.

But, mountain and pacific time zones are not seeing it at the same time. They have to wait until their clocks say seven to see it. So, it's kind of like the folks on the East coast see everything first but not really, lol. Gets confusing, don't it?
