Your #9:


Yes, in my experience, sexual relations is a necessary, mutually rewarding activity in which we still engage. Not as frequently as it was, once, but enough to be also mutually satisfying. I love her more today than on day one, and the fact that her hair is white instead of brunette, and that there are a few wrinkles we both have is no retraction. I do not discount that relative age makes a huge difference as long as both partners agree on undsestranding that difference in age does mean that activity for the older pruner will slow to a degree, and that more than sex is going to have to carry the load of continued compatibility.

 The fact that measured temperatures have remained relatively consistent over time is evidence that it's being measured accurately.


I did not invent the list of nine detailed questions in my post #6 to determine proper measurement standards of anything using measurement tools. That responsibility belongs to the American Society for Quality, developed over 50 years ago for the CSSBB [Certification for

Six Sigma Black Belt] Primer manual. Your commentary cited above in your post #8, and that statement denies, ignorantly, 8 of the 9 standards. Well done. Hint: accuracy does not happen without adherence to standards any more than manipulative math proves 1 + 1 ≠ 2.

Egypt? replaced? I seem to have an Egypt in my Nat Geo World Atlas. Granted, I''ve never been there, but I trust people I know who have, and one of them was my Egyptian grammar professor, and he confirmed it still bears that name, and that though it is now a different, modern culture, they respect their heritage, unlike what wokeness has done to America. But, thank goodness, woke is dead. It's just that dome refuse to bury the corpse.

Would it surprise you to learn that my 1-ft thick stone-walled 4,000 sq ft home in the Rockies is powered by a 39-panel array of solars panels?


Now you've stepped back from your claim that man is a primary cause of climate change once you realized that climate was worse long before

the appearance of Homo sapiens on Earth?


Who said I fear the future? You did, but you don't know squat about me and my thinking. According to you, I am wrong, but, your first two points, rebutted above, fail. So does this claim. Sorry, you do not inhabit my head, so worry about your own.


Despite nothing about me, all of which your opinion. so far , is what's buried in sand. At 7500 feet elevation, there is no sand around here.

lots of gneiss, shist, and granite, thanks. Take any geology in school?


Finally, a true statement. Catastrophic natural events do occur. Yes, man contributes to those events, but is not the root and primary cause. Just another of a number oft causes. Is there a better source oft energy than petroleum? of course. I have never-ending faith in man's ability for discovery. We are not just curious by design; there is cause and effect thereby.

I see successful marriages of your proposed age spread, and more, but I wouldn't discount closer to stour age, either. I've been married to my bride for 52 years; we are 377 days apart by birth; I am the older. More important than age, I think, is compatibility of interests, along with some differences that are still compatible. There is, for example, many artistic interested we share, and those not shared are mutually agreeable and compatible. Religion is the same. Moral behavior is the same. I'm west coast, she's east coast. We share love of cooking. Her forte is baked goods, primarily bread and pastries; mine is meats and deserts. She'll tell me flatly she doesn't like a shirt I've purchased, but even if I don't like some clothing she purchased, I tell her I like it, because I've learned she has a critical eye, and chooses carefully. It's usually a matter of color, not style, and she's adventurous that way.

Just worldwide average temperature? And what makes you think there is any consistency and accuracy in the measure of that temperature, worldwide? I happen to know a bit about measurement tech. Here are my questions which I spent a career in 30 countries asking and assessing the answers:


How many measurement stations are there? 

Are they all using the same measurement equipment for the same measurement need? 

Is the equipment used the optimum equipment for the measurements required? 

Is all measurement equipment used of an accuracy that is 10 times the required tolerance specified to assure data is valid within specified tolerances? 

How accurate and timely are all their calibrations performed and recorded on all specified measurement equipment? 

Are those who conduct the measurements all properly trained in the function of the measurement equipment used?

Are all who perform calibration of measurement equipment also adequately trained as above?  

Is the training verified as effective with follow up by the trainers? 

Do the measurement operators all use the same measurement process technique?


If any of these questions are not adequately answered, the accuracy of any measurement, temp, or otherwise, is in doubt. And, there foes the science: poof. Gone.

I'll take issue with the "primarily human caused" accusation, because the geographic record we see just in the Grand Canyon walls, and ice core samples, demonstrates a far worse environment at a time when mammals were first evolved 140M years ago, by their own record in geologic time. Volcanism, and its associated emission of toxic gasses into the atmospheres were far worse than our atmosphere today, and yet ancient mammals, which demonstrated physiology very similars to our own, survivied that toxic atmosphere without destroying the varied mammalian species, so, a human-caused catestrophic outcome for us is a bit of nonsense. We're smarter than those early mammals could ever be, and have means of adjustment to atmospheric conditions we have, such as indoor provisions. But, no. We are going to kill ourselves by A.I., or by sheer madness of anger against one another, long before our comparatively mild atmosphere does us in, which the Earth is able to cleans by itself, and without the money we insist on throwing at the clouds, which tends, instead, to line other people's non-deserving pockets, like that idiot, AlGore, who has yet to produce a teaspoon of AlGoreGooeyJuice to replace petroleum. What's hew waiting for? A catchy marketing routine? Net zero..... when??? ROFL.

Yes, language, but thy does not men no, it's art.

My Egyptian grammar textbook from college is a hardbound, 2" thick volume of 700 pages, so the language is as sophisticated as any modern language, not a primitive one by any measure.

Jesus never left his hometown or Israel.


You're mixing metaphors, so to speak. Hometown of Jesus = Bethlehem, in Judea. Then, after a brief sojourn in Egypt when his parents fled to escape the death of their new son, went to Nazareth in Galilee; Jiseph and Mary's home. While it is true that all of that, with the exception of Egypt, is Israel, "Israel" did not exist, yet. So, even if one accepts the current political entity of "Israel" in the first century C.E., Egypt never was part of Israel, nor vice versa.

Above is a sample from the ancient Egyptian "Spells for the Coming Forth by Day" plate I.

Never mind the translation, I've left that behind to contemplate merely the title's question:

is this art or written language?

Oh, yes I have. The argument, from the beginning, has been the incorrect interpretation of the word "fight" in the context of the speech transcript. I've said the words ha8 definitions in the OED, the premier English language dictionary on Earth. Only on of those definitions even implies a physical, "lip service to peace" by suggestion of physical violence. I've said this at least three times, but you totally ignore the context, which is everything in understanding what we say rot one another.

Get it, yet?

Then. you are wrong on two counts, because I took your "leader with cult-like power" to be Jesus Christ. I do believe Manson belonged in jail. He deserved to be executed, along with the followers of his who actually, blindly, committed the murders. Coincidentally, as a teen of about 16, I became acquainted with Sharon Tate and Roman Polanski, who lived in my immediate neighborhood, so her violent death, and her unborn child, hit me very hard. But you're talking about Trump. Typical, and, as always, with no justification. Ever. Somebody ought to figure out how to market that hatred stuff, because, as is, it has absolutely worthless value.

I prefer a fowlcage, and, consulting my OED, its definition of "fowl," the biblically-used term, refers only to the set of birds that are intended as provision of food, either by their flesh or their eggs. or both. Therefore, the suggestion that we were intended to be vegetarian by biblical decree is grounded.

Bullshit, you know damn well


Great demonstrated lack of cl clarity from credible sources, boyo, because Joseph Smith, himself, said he had zero understanding in any language, including beyond typical early 19th century education in English, which was less than we experience today in grade school, and certainly no scholastics whatsoever in the anceint Egyprtan language, so the figures drawn are amateurish, and Joseph admitted it. The other two are from papyri that he was given that have no relation to the Book of Abraham text by huis description. So "translation" is not an adequate word to describe how the Book of Abraham came about.

I see a huge lack of sufficient Description [the text box within Debate to offer the initiator opportunity to define terms [specifically, keywords of the Resolution], special initrctions, such as "No original argument in the last round," and whatever else the initiator wants to describe.
