Topic	In case you haven't heard, apparently Trump is making up his own fake news now.
darkknight109 10/22/18 4:37:24 AM #23:	Zeus posted... Oh no! In 50-60 years, your property might have lost a little land.... or not. Given that I already get water under my house (which is raised on pilings) in the winter and climate change is already measurably affecting the weather around here, no, this isn't something that is having an impact years down the road - I get to live it here and now. I also find people grossly underestimate exactly what "a few inches" means in terms of tide levels. "A few inches" of sea height doesn't mean seaside properties lose a few inches of land; the grade of most oceanside properties is extremely shallow, so that few inches of height can translate to several hundred square feet of real estate now being underwater at high tide. Zeus posted... What?! They're getting rid of the electoral system?! They are indeed. More specifically, they want to get rid of it and replace it with a proportional one. Which is a pretty solid idea that I am completely behind. Zeus posted... His exact quote: That I already posted just seven posts ago, so I have no idea why you feel the need to restate it. Zeus posted... In recent years they've had repeated grenade deaths, stabbings in the middle of an Ikea by immigrants, young women murdered by refugees, etc. Literally none of which happened on the night Trump referenced in his lie. Zeus posted... Because widespread attacks with grenades aren't something I'd put in the realm of possibility. LOL! There have been 78 of them since 2010, or an average of about 10 a year nationwide (and this includes 2016, which was a significant outlier with 35 detonations - take that away and the numbers drop to just over five a year). For comparison, about 100 people are shot and killed every single day in the US. Adjusted for population levels, Sweden has one grenade detonation per million people per year, while the US has 121 shooting deaths per million people per year. Personally, I think I'd rather live in Sweden. It seems much safer. Zeus posted... The sky might not have fallen down in Sweden the night before he made his remarks In other words, he was lying. Thank you for proving my point. Zeus posted... I learned about both of them in Canadian schools. You went to a weird school, then, because neither of them are in any Canadian curriculum that I'm familiar with. Which makes sense, because there's no particular reason why either one would be considered figures of any great importance to anyone outside the American borders. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.
