No that was Boulder. CSU used to be Colorado A&M. Plus, the same types of transport have been built all over the metro suburbs surrounding Denver proper. It’s a feel good liberal movement all over USA cities. Fort Collins is but one example of hundreds of small to medium sized cities spending ridiculous money on these projects.

Girl friend in mid 80’ was from Cheyanne, stopped Fort Collins a lot. Seemed like Austin to me at the time and not College Station. And you say Bolder is worse. I will pass on living in Colorado

What consequences does the Reform party gains in Great Britain’s elections have on the direction GB has been heading? Good or bad?

We’ll have to strongly agree to strongly disagree

if you want to be incorrect go for it

I hope you were being sarcastic and making fun of fundamentalists with Earth and the universe being 6,000 years old. At one time, Church thought the Earth was flat as well.

I was not. Also, flat earth has never been a mainstream view in Christianity. Always on the fringe and really took off in the 19th century with a revival in the 20th. Has gained steam on the fringe recently. Look it up. I’m no flat earther and you will not hear that theory taught in the absolutely overwhelming majority of churches. I’ve never even heard it argued by anyone but lunatics on the internet

Hmmm, thought Canada stated it would be doing better in US trade war with the pivot towards EU and China.

You honestly believe this? Across all species and life, or just Homo Sapiens?

Yes. I take Genesis literally. There’s no room for macro evolution or millions of years in the Bible. So, macro evolution no. Micro, yes.

the question is.. what is Canada going to do about it?

Carney has a love affair with China.. thats well documented and well known..

The EU economy is stagnant, while the US economy is growing.. and the US economy is a full 50% larger than the entire economy of all EU nations combined.. the EU, no matter how much emotion is tied to the equation, simply doesnt have the ability to replace the US as a prime trading partner (unless youre prepared to see your trade reduced by 50%).. ..

China was the only real hope.. and who in the last 50 years has truly benefitted by snuggling up closely to the Chinese?

I think the answer to the question of what is Canada going to do about it is... nothing at all..

Carney will remain in office.. and Carney will continue to do the things Carney does.. and Canadians will sit on the sidelines and watch it happen..

Trudeau was horrible for Canada.. and all but the extreme far left knew it... and he sat in the PM seat for almost 9 and a half years..

Carney will likely be the PM for a long while.. and nothing will change..

Many Christian eschatologists have tried to calculate the end time by using mathematical formulas based on numbers and timelines from the Bible and the course of events in history.

Only one entity knows when that will happen.

Galileo would disagree as Catholic Church deemed his views heresy.

In regard to biblical 6,000 year age of the universe. You really believe that despite all the evidence to the contrary? If so, I would agree with Karl Marx who said “Religion is the opium of the people.”

All true. That’s a vain and pointless pursuit IMHO. My only point is that there IS a well defined end.

Evolution is incompatible with science, among other things, entropy.

In just our lifetimes we have seen evolution result in new species. There is a mosquito in the London tube system that has evolved and is unique. It can breed without a blood feed, something that its common ancestor cannot do.

That occurred in less than one human lifetime.

Galileo was not a flat earther….. Actually look it up and get back to me.

I do believe it. I know you’re a secular person. You don’t have to tell me

No, the Church was.

How do you reconcile that belief with all the scientific evidence to the contrary? Blind faith?
