Drake because 1) He's fresh and already has a lot of harder-hitting singles. 2) He got into the Songwriter's Hall of Fame within two years of hitting the mainstream. 3) He puts more heart into his lyrics. 4) A wide variety of audiences are raving over his music.
I know. I didn't state that overpopulation is caused by a drop in standard of living. I stated that overpopulation leads to a significant drop of standard in living; they are hand-in-hand. I think we are stating the same thing, but are just confusing each other because we are wording it differently.
Yes, it definitely is a very valid argument. It shows the contradiction of the idea of God. If one is omnipotent (all-powerful), omniscient (all-knowing), and benevolent (all-loving), ideally, that person, or in this case, deity, is perfect and will have perfection.
God is described as having all of these qualities, and because of this, His existence is disproved for many reasons.
For example, one could bring up the topic of natural disasters. God is benevolent, meaning that He would not want people to be harmed by these disasters. Seeing that He is omnipotent and omniscient, He knows that they will occur and has the power to prevent them, or to not create them in the first place. But why do they still occur? For natural disasters to occur, He has to have an absence of one of those qualities. He could be both omnipotent and benevolent, and just not know when they will occur. Or He could be benevolent and omniscient, and not have any power over the disasters. Or He could be omniscient and omnipotent, and not feel any remorse for those that die in those disasters.
This is just one example as to why "The Problem of Evil" is a valid argument. It can be applied to many aspects of life. If need be, I can post other examples to show how, in other ways, it is a good argument.
I agree with you that the standard of living will definitely drop once a state of overpopulation is achieved. The point that I am trying to explain, and probably have not effectively placed in my preceding posts, is that, once a general state of overpopulation is achieved, then yes, the standard of living will drop, whether it is significant or insignificant.
If it is a significant drop in the average, that means that a large percentage of the families that were already struggling before the drop will now be at more risk to possibly die off, and the mortality rate would go up. With a significant drop in standard of living, there is a significant drop in population, and it could take many years to finally bring the average standard of living up.
I believe humans are, indeed, a pretty crappy species. Yes, we are very intelligent, but that seems to be more of a negative than a positive. There are so many reasons why humans suck, and they seem to outweigh the reasons why humans are great. I can't list all of them off of my head, but once someone inevitably disputes this, I can start listing some.
Which language was the first one you learned as a child? Based on proven psychology, humans learn languages easier when they are children. If you learned English as a child, then you can't say that English isn't harder, because you don't have the experience of learning it after learning your first language. It's harder to transition to a second language than it is to learn it first as a child.
It most definitely is not above 70% in all of America. In certain cities, however, it could be; they would be the ones where the population is very, very low.
Guns really aren't causing large amounts of deaths; in fact, they're very random. I advise you kindly to not make assumptions because you seem to be frightening yourself over what you think might be true, based on narrow observation.
It's fine. But still, getting a salad at a fast food restaurant isn't healthy, either. A majority of the time the produce is processed and they give a lot of dressing. Plus, the calories in those salads are usually really high.
I disputed to support myself.
Fast foods, in my opinion, is used stereotypically to brand a food as unhealthy if it comes out of a restaurant. Fast food is not always bad for you, but it rarely is good. I've yet to find a restaurant that makes food fast, but also makes it healthy, while keeping a lower price for it.
Here's a very good reason as to why this is happening:
In this era of American history, more Latinos are immigrating into the country. This may sound like a stereotype, but it truly isn't: Many are coming into the country looking for a better life, and the majority of those Latinos don't have a lot of money. Because of this, they are forced to buy cheaper foods, which usually means from fast food restaurants, and have to work extra long to get as much money as they can to support their families, taking time out of their home life.
Cheaper foods such as McDonald's and Taco Bell usually are usually the only option for those with less money. For example, the vast majority of Native Americans on reservations are forced to get fast food because they are living in impoverished areas. This is similar to immigrating Latinos. Latino families come to America with a small amount of money and have to find jobs quickly; if they can't, they will become broke and could possibly starve to death. That's why cheap foods are usually their best and only option.
When it comes to occupation, they usually can't find a very good job fast and have to resort to very low-paying jobs. That's why many usually stay more towards the border; the further north they travel to find a place to settle, the more money they have to spend.
Since both parents usually have to spend time working long hours to provide for their families, Latinos don't have a lot of leisure time to do things such as exercising. As for the gym part that you mentioned in the description, many can't afford to pay monthly fees, and even if they did, the harder-working families usually cannot go often, proving that a membership would be a waste of money.
It seems like you don't have much confidence. When you try to meet a girl, you can't just be friendly. Most "average" guys think they can't get their "dream girl", and they won't be able to because they have doubt. The thing that separates "extraordinary" and "average" guys is that level of confidence.
Extraordinary guys usually have a certain strength in them, whether its their charisma, wealth, or looks; this causes them to have a higher level of confidence because they believe that they can get the girl they want. Average guys, like yourself, have this doubt that causes a lower level of confidence, and it shows during social interaction.
My advice is to build up your confidence, and be genuine about yourself; usually these pretty girls are smart and have adjusted to be paranoid. They get tons of fake guys that only want them for sex. Show that you really want to be with them, and not use them.
Yeah, definitely. Match.com or eHarmony.com
And it also sounds like you're not confident in yourself. If you want to put your main focus on finding a suitable lady in their 30s, you need to show that you have confidence in yourself, otherwise you won't find many because many are waiting to be found. Believe in yourself every day, and you will definitely find someone soon.
