(Note from Florien: Since I’m a capitalist, this does not reflect my views.)
I saw this video a few years back and was thinking about it today; it’s basically a mathematics lecture which proves that capitalism cannot work for very much longer as the dominant socio-economic system and why if it does we’re all [...]
A few years ago, I was debating the “peak oil” theory with a friend, and I remember wondering if parts of the earth would cave in due to all the oil we extract.

When you turn away from God and religion, Glenn Beck says you put your hope and trust in Barack Obama instead:
He also says that the US became a powerful country because we acknowledged God (unlike, you know, all those other countries), and now it will decline as people turn into evil atheists.

The 30 largest airports in the country, with the help of the airlines, create enough waste to equal [...]
Rep. John Shimkus, an IL representative, knows that global warming is a hoax because “God’s Word” says that God will be the one to destroy the earth, not man. There’s no need to worry about global flooding, because God promised he wouldn’t do that anymore:
