I have bicycled many miles in Denmark, mainly in the surrounds of
Viborg and of Odense. Very pleasant terrain for that. A bit in
Copenhagen, as well, but I prefer not biking around heavy car traffic.

When in Colorado Springs, your SUV contributes to "heavy car traffic."

So. Stupid.

This discussion is about your hypocrisy, peterson. If you think it is OK for a child to have just enough to get by, then it would be OK for a dried up boomer such as you to have just enough to get by. And when YOU were a child, you had MORE than enough to get by, so who the **** are YOU to preach?

As noted, clueless.

So you are refusing to engage in discussion, and resort to your usual empty insult, peterson?

I refuse to engage in a battle of wits with an unarmed person.

Don't complain about problems, such as traffic or AGW, to which you directly contribute, peterson.

That doesn't explain why you are afraid to engage in a battle of wits with me. Clearly, you are losing, peterson.

So, tell us about your privileged childhood, peterson.

Well, it is certainly relative in many respects.

Some people will say that it isn't legitimate to take relative poverty into
account, because that's just catering to the vice of envy.

However, they are forgetting one thing.

Some of the necessities of life are in limited supply, so that those who are
relatively poorer don't have a chance of getting them.

For men, finding a mate depends quite a bit on one's relative wealth. And
without a mate, one's genes are absent from the next generation - a form of
death.

So you're saying it's women who drive the demand for McMansions, SUVs and
other luxuries?

Some of the luxuries men buy, they buy for their own use and enjoyment. "The
only difference between men and boys is the price of their toys", as the saying
goes. But, yes, a lot of purchases by men are for purposes of the "bling" type,
for which the competition for mates is implicated.

Let's see. We already know about the sociopathy. We know about the
anger issues. We know about the paranoia. I guess we need to add some
kind of obsessive disorder to the list.

I hope scientists have the opportunity to dissect your brain when you
kick the bucket (which judging from how you look in your booking
photo, might not be that long).

Then you really should seek help, peterson, ASAP.

So the answer to that question is "yes."

Why? None of the conditions which you are alleging are likely to be visible in the
tissues of the brain.

We must pray that Liv 'iZombie' [Olivia Moore] never has to 'enjoy' such a meal.

One can hardly imagine the likely results. ;-)
