Since cattle are being slaughtered because of the great drought of 2012, I think we've passed Peak Beef.
You never imagined
that fast food burger
as the height of luxury

Ruth is correct - many cattle on the ranches here are having to be slaughtered because the ranchers don't have food for them due to the drought conditions. Many are having to buy hay - usually they use their own hay - but now they have t buy it from others and have it transported here. We did get some rain yesterday and it looks like more rain today.

How many people can Earth support? How comfortable would you like to be?
How much potable water exists; enough for 7,000,000,000+ human beings? Nope.
How many fossil fuels can be easily available? Fossil Fuels are never 'easily available'.
How fast can we drive or fly? Didn't that X-15 hit 4000mph?
How much religion can we absorb before we dumb down the entire nation? Much, MUCH more.
How much ignorance can the world absorb before killing Earth's living organisms? Much, MUCH more.
How many chemicals can we use in agriculture before we kill the living organisms? Much, MUCH more.
How long before the topsoil has blown or eroded away? I give it about ... 5-years.

Joan,
I strongly share your concern about the population explosion and the unbearable strain it is causing on life's resources. I have heard some scientists that science and technology can still create conditions that can support more population. Perhaps yes, perhaps no. As I see it, the competion for life is gettinger tougher and although humanity continues to live, humanism is dying. What needs to be saved is humanism, not humanity.

Death of a family member

OK. I am venting. My mother died two weeks ago. She was a “god fearing christian.” Before her death she refused all medical treatment. She wanted to be left alone. She even refused to speak with my brother who is a methodist minister. He is a pip, let me tell you! I suspect she did not believe, but a woman born in her time could not and did not state her actual beliefs. This is the opening salvo to all christians; FUCK YOU! I had so many people come and tell…

This probably should not have shocked me as much as it did (especially since I am in Texas). I actually thought my coworkers were playing a joke on me because they know I am an atheist. Sadly, this was no joke. This actually happened.
I work in a psychiatric hospital. The doctors who admit patients are general MDs. (Psychiatrists see patients after admission) Yesterday evening we received several calls from irate parents. A new doctor who was doing admissions yesterday actually…

What do you think of this,
Nathan Young,
No Jason Torpy it is you that should be banned for promoting atheism, a belief that has no foundation in reality and zero proof behind it. The letter was a mockery of your atheist beliefs. I request to the board here that they remove Jason for his unverifiable beliefs in atheism for which he has no proof other than his arrogance. The letter was a mockery of atheism. Atheism is stupid and it should be mocked and it…
