https://climatedataguide.ucar.edu/climate-data is one of the more complete and user friendly sites ive come across regarding climate

and...

Being the fastest growing city isn't directly related to the number of deaths or the temperature in the city. He's the one who made that assumption not bloomburg. I believe that's called a straw-man argument.

As far as deaths from extreme temps are concerned, it's telling that he didnt take the time to isolate extreme temperatures from the natural disasters chart. Here, let me isolate it for you using the same source. https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/number-of-deaths-from-natural-disasters?time=1936..2018&country=~Extreme%20temperature


Or, again using that same source: https://ourworldindata.org/grapher/natural-disasters-by-type focus on ONLY the extreme temperatures and it's clear that the natural disasters of that type are on an upward trend.

@newtboy,

Why do you insist on trying to contort things?

The stats I found showed 8% in mid 1930's....Before the war.
Provide a source then, I did and it's over 16% as of 1931.

You said the Palestinians stood alongside the Nazis....in 47?....so.....what Nazis?
I observed that the Arab revolt between 1936 and 1939 was led by the grand Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini. Who later found himself in Germany talking with Hitler and advocating a 'solution' for Palestine ala Italy and Germany. I didn't present an opinion for you to disagree with. I presented a statement of fact which stands regardless of whether you refuse to believe in it or not.

As for partition, stop trying to win points or something, it's inescapable that the partition agreement that the Jewish Palestinians accepted when they declared independence in 1948 was the 1947 UN Partition Plan, on account of the other partition agreements having not yet come into existence yet and all.

I didn't say the tensions didn't begin when Nazis existed, I said they were gone when the events you describe happened.
I think that was addressed earlier what with Arab uprising in the 30s, and the conflict between Arab and Jewish Palestinians continuing on from then all the way till it hit an all out civil war.

Nothing I'm saying here has to justify, forgive or declare Israel a saint and Arabs the sinners. I AM however pointing out some very basic facts that refute the argument that Jewish invaders just came in from Europe and seized Palestine from the Arabs as payback for the holocaust. That simply was not what happened.

Jews were unwelcome and persecuted in Europe long before WW2. Hitler wrote Mein Kampf in 1925, and he wasn't exactly putting pen to brand new ideas nobody had been circulating in Europe already. The Zionists for their part were also busy and in action long before WW2, in no small part for reasons above. The Zionists were absolutely looking to take back 'their' homeland and by invasion if need be. That doesn't mean every Jew in Palestine was a Zionist anymore than the above makes every European and Arab nazi sympathizers. The reality was a lot more muddled and complex.

In the end, the big events driving the Arab-Jewish civil war in Palestine was as you say, an inability of the immigrants to live together with the natives. So on that front we are well agreed. You seem content to place 100% of the blame on the immigrants(which I must insist we refer to as refugees given they are largely European Jews between 1940-1947). I disagree. I believe I've given adequate evidence to demonstrate that the inability to live together was as much to blame on the Arab Palestinians as it was on the Jewish. If we want to blame anyone in the whole mess, the strongest blame still lies with the Axis powers for creating the refugees in the first place.

I was a little surprised to see them use a woman as the driver in 1936. Perhaps I'm underestimating my grandparents' generation.

Something is fishy here.

Kipling died in 1936; Hoffman first synthesized LSD in 1938.

So if its the smoking part though, can we agree that vaporisers or perhaps eating marijuana would be safer?


Nope, your asshole catches fire if you do that stuff.

@Fusionaut: AFAIK, smoking pot can and does cause lung cancer, just like anything else that you burn and then inhale. It's not magic.
One study.

One study by the same government that outlaws marijuana use in practically all instances.
A lot of good money has been taken away from lung cancer research because of this kind of bias that tends to lump lung cancer with smoking. Smoking can lead to lung cancer, but it doesn't always and it certainly doesn't lead to all cases of it. Up to 15-20% of lung cancer cases are nonsmoking.


RARGH GOVERNMENTS BAD

Of course not all smoking leads to lung cancer. Of course not all lung cancer cases are caused by smoking. What point are you trying to make?

Maybe, but Mary jane doesn't cause cancer and it's not addictive. It just happened to be the drug of choice of Mexicans. I'm sure the American government would have made rice and beans illegal if it wasn't too obvious...>> ^direpickle:

But wait! I thought marijuana had terrible, permanent side-effects...

Don't go there. That's the same line of thinking that people use to defend tobacco. "But my grandfather smoked eighteen packs a day and lived until he was a hundred!"

@longde

Negotiation skill and knowing how to make people like you are part of performance in a free market. How to Win Friends and Influence People was published in 1936, so anyone who hasn't read it can blame themselves and the sub-culture they grew up in. It's not a coincidence that Hollywood's sometimes-highest paid actor is so smart about proactivity and likability.

If pay discrimination was really the case, wouldn't even modestly skilled business administrators fire all non-discriminated workers to cut down on their largest expense, labor costs?

From Wiki:
"The lodge was constructed between 1936 and 1938 as a Works Progress Administration (WPA) project during the Great Depression. Workers used large timbers and local stone, and placed intricately carved decorative elements throughout the building."

If you ever go there, I really recommend the tour. All these Old World craftspeople, out of work due to the Great Depression -- they poured all the love of their craft into this place.
