Again you are confusing social causes with left wing politics. Cuban communist are leftwing economically but are quite socially conservative. By your metrics, Cuban communist would be conservatives and a socially liberal tech corporation would be leftist. Up is down and left is right now.

Just to set the record straight, getting their info from a climate report. So if the teacher truly said that, other than taking my word for it, look up what the studies have said and tell him "the world won't end in 12 years. The study says corrective action is needed by 2030" or whatever the accurate wording is.

Honestly, I'm trying to just provide a suggestion at this point. Send him this link. At no point does it say the world ends in 12 years, but it is a very serious report.

I'll say this, I'd make sure that's actually a thing he said, otherwise perhaps a conversation will help you understand what actually said.
I think that's a fair post.

Yep. All this kind of stuff probably used to work back in the day. I may not be Christian, but it's clear how left leaning posters feel about them in every post. They try to deny it.

This is something that people should look into, but not only for the left, but also for the right as well. Like I said before academia, media, publishing, social media, entertainment and tech are all controlled within the leftist echo chamber. Or such companies virtue signal left. If you don't want your kids going to a certain public school. Move you and yourself to a conservative neighborhood, or fork of the money and send your kids to parochial school, or a all male or all female prep school. The same rules also applies to the left. If you don't want to send your kids to a school in a conservative area, move to a more liberal area that is gay friendly and diverse. Try to see what media fits your identity. At the end of the day, we are all going to have to come to the middle. The middle is worth fighting and dying for it allows everyone to have a chance and a say, instead of either side trying to silence one another.

No @@@@ sherlock. Tell me something new. Also you are confusing me. I'm not talking about social causes, or Communism. This is not a political compass test. All I listed was a list of industries that virtue signal left and where far left has clout in that's it. Now you go on this tangent You are the one that is confusing. I'm not talking about left wing economic policies. Do you want me to send you a political compass test? Where I can point left to socialism and communism, or right towards corporatism, or down to Anarchy, or up to Authoritarian?

Natural climate change is due to variations in solar input. Want me to explain how we measure that?

Its only hoax because you chose to believe it to be.

They are talking about the point of no return. When there is no going back no matter if you fund and start the green new deal today. One of the first things will notice is the price of coffee.

You will need to wait a while for the Rapture.

The problem is everything is a conspiracy. Like there is a hidden lair where a legion of scientists are laughing maniacally about their scheme to take over the world..

I AM a Christian. And I'm left leaning. I don't think the Bible should be used for teaching purposes in public schools. Nor should the Quran, the Satanic Bible, or any other religious texts. I would not try to get a teacher terminated, however, for doing such a thing. I would expect them to be informed of their error and for them to stop doing it, which would be a rational response.

"Every post," really? Deny it? I'm saying in this post that I AM a Christian... it's because I was born in the Midwest, rather than the Middle East. My belief system is no more "right" than anyone else's. I respect the beliefs of others.
