You make plenty of mistakes, and your version of "looking things up"
often amounts to having a recollection of reading something once upon a
time.

However, you spend so much time surgically editing the messages you are
replying to in order to create the impression that people are saying
different things from what they actually were, that you are frequently
able to declare victory to your own satisfaction. To onlookers it
appears ridiculous, but I think there's a certain lack of self-awareness
at work here.



Or perhaps it is due to Aspergers Syndrome.


The last description someone posted of that sounded very, very like
Mixi. Is it another trait to not want to seek treatment?

I think that constitutes a personal attack, so he won't reply to you.

Mainly? It seems to me you consider air con the sole means of dealing
with heat.


Ultimately, it is.


What about putting your feet in a bucket of cold water, and switching
a fan on?


What about him putting his head in a bucket of cold water?

Indeed, if they had been properly educated about how to deal with the
heat, they needn't have died from it.



An education would not have helped without the actual tools, such as
air conditioning.


Nonsense. There are plenty of ways to not die if it gets as hot as it
was in Paris.

Yes, you were. Then you googled, hoping to find that you were right
and I was wrong. Then you discovered that you were wrong, but you
tried to extract anything you could from the page you mention that
would allow you to save face somehow.


I googled what? I found a statement that matched the high school lab
experiment that I suspect millions of Americans are familiar with.

If they aren't skilled enough to find employment with benefits while
working for someone else, are they really skilled enough to do it on
their own?


That's my point. Most people who **** and moan about their wages and
benefits don't have the ability to do better on their own.

I think you missed a chunk yourself.

Note that I can own 3 cars and a lot of stuff that I want (never mind
if *you* or someone else thinks it's useless)


what you probably don't get is that that lifestyle isnt
supportable. We need to consume less, work less and pollute less,


Who are you to decide what others need to do?

And yes my lifestyle is completely supportable. People have been saying
the US lifestyle isn't supportable for over half a century and we keep
improving.


Any lifestyle is supportable if the population is not allowed to
expand out of control.


to support the US lifestyle across the globe population will have
to start falling fast.


Funny, but a lot of those people have been coming across the globe to the US
to work, and be part of that lifestyle. Sounds like it's the thrid world and
socialist lifestyles that aren't sustainable.

The US also surpasses all of Europe put together for aggression.


You forgetting your European buddies Hitler and Stalin?

A lot of people have a vested interest in an underclass that speaks no
English.


Mainly left-of-center politicians...

Odd that. No matter what type of government you live under, the
innovative will find a way to get along better than anyone else.
