    Whataboutisms are often demonstrations that cheap rhetorical points can be barfed out from any given perspective. They have a reasonable place in any discussion that is already entrenched in cheap rhetorical points.

    Dude, don't try and make out that I'm the one being a twat with cheap rhetorical points. It's you Americans (👀 ) electing these idiots, and they don't get much cheaper rhetorically than Margorie.

    I was only joking

      Too bad about all the earthquakes these past few days. Am sure there are rational geological explanations for their occurrence without having to resort to climate change zeitgeist or worse, the nonsense of Christian millennialism and superstition.

        Most likely cause

        1 Fat Cheerleaders
        2 God
        3 Climate Change
        4 Rational geological explanation

          I’ll stay with 4 although 1 is worth more investigation.

          Bin 2 & 3.

            You forgot fracking.

            Has somebody been fracking fat cheerleaders?

              Even I wouldn’t frack them.

              They’ll end up, after a lot of drama, with the same formula they use every time they have a trifecta: take away health care and food assistance from low income families and use the money to fund tax cuts for their donors.

                There was small quake/tremor in rural Alberta a week or so back.

                https://www.cbc.ca/amp/1.7156034

                They stopped fracking operations in the area. No obese cheerleaders in the region to my knowledge, but there are plenty of Natives. There may be a correlation.

                  You have to imagine though, if several hundred years ago the ground shook like that then a few days later the sun disappeared, we’d definitely be burning some witches.

                      The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                          As long as the tremor does not lead to the wrong thing getting snipped, I suppose it’s fine.

                                  Yeah I know they're kind of backsliding into normalcy but my point is, we consider primitive cultures so backward and stupid and look at the crazy shit we're having "debates" about today.

                                  Sure we have antiseptics and rockets now but on average, we're no more enlightened.

                                      You have to imagine though, if several hundred years ago the ground shook like that then a few days later the sun disappeared, we’d definitely be burning some witches.

                                      Yes because today we're far more enlightened.

                                      Yeah I know they're kind of backsliding into normalcy but my point is, we consider primitive cultures so backward and stupid and look at the crazy shit we're having "debates" about today.

                                      Sure we have antiseptics and rockets now but on average, we're no more enlightened.

                                      Hell, I think we’re less.

                                      I'd say so.
