Of course I agree with those sentiments and fully support them. For me a fundamental is that people are generally happy and the way to achieve it is fully understood.Brian Peacock wrote:Again, the point here is that evidence seems to suggest that reducing working hours reduces carbon footprints, makes people more productive, and enhances individual happiness. Now surely that's something you can discuss and comment on without simply criticising and dismissing it on nothing more than the nationality of who's saying it?

It is certainly preferable. I would have thought that was logic 101.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
We all do opinions and feelings. It's how we're made.
What I'd like to see is more positive opinions and emotions being expressed around the issue of climate change. Often it seems more important, not to mention easier, to express our frustration and anger at--and our low opinions of--science deniers and climate sceptics than to represent more positive feelings and opinions about our ability to meet the challenge we face. The fact that it sometimes appears completely hopeless is no reason to give up, but exactly why we should make the extra effort regardless.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
Yeah but Scot does them to the exclusion of facts. That's the difference. It's his Anglo-Dutch mindset..Brian Peacock wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 6:29 amWe all do opinions and feelings. It's how we're made.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
There are facts and very questionable facts. Some people tend to always use the latter to score points but I dont.pErvinalia wrote: ↑Sat Jun 22, 2019 12:12 amScot doesn't do facts. He does opinions and feelings. Dutch mindset..
Your lack of knowledge of the "Dutch mindset" is one of your many blind spots.

That's just your Anglo-Dutch mindset talking. We forgive you.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
Angloism
1. A belief or doctrine that one's own country or nationality is superior to England and the English people and because of that one has the right to rule over English people.
2. A policy, system of government, etc., based upon or fostering such an anti-English doctrine; discrimination against the English.
3. Hatred, predjudism or intolerance of England and the English people.
Angloism can be seen easily in analogies about sport and racism.

Re: Extinction Rebellion
The Dutch, being "low countries", have a lot to lose with rising sea levels. But not to worry, Space Emperor Trump will send you engineers, expert wall building engineers, the best. And then all your cheese belong us.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
Re: Extinction Rebellion
Or the Dutch, having some experience in these things, will send their engineers to save NYC from the rising water. Of course, they will require we change the name back to New Amsterdam.
