Importantly, update your time zone in your user settings so the calendar shows the correct time and day. Pass the Hat Stays on the list. Just as a general thing. It's not a big deal, but I don't mind having it on there. There's no intention to harp on it, but it should remain there. There are items for the community that do require more than elbow grease to obtain. This should just stay on each week's list. The Landing Page Should stay on the list until it's resolved. That thing is a giant wall of rhetoric. Immigration Is on the list. We are waiting for Wulfgard to clarify assertions on crime rates and immigrants. Specifically it was asserted that the majority of violent crimes committed over some length of time in Denmark were perpetrated by immigrants (as opposed to the native population). It was a really high number that was asserted as well. Iran We were going to try to find out what kinds of missiles and airstrikes Iran used such that no US personnel were harmed. The consensus seemed to be that we all wondered where Iran managed to get the ability to drop precision bombs in the middle of populated areas without killing anyone (seemingly on purpose). This was my homework, I believe. Quote:
What percentage of people (presumably US only) do not currently have health care? This was supposed to be researched. It's currently estimated at 8.5%, which is up .5% over the previous year. This is about on par with the increase from 2018. This number had not increased since the passage of the Affordable Care Act until 2018. Brain Differences Someone wanted to see studies on the differences between a "liberal" and a "conservative" brain. Last edited by Publius; 01-23-2020 at 12:09 AM. |

New location!
Denny's on 285 3580 S Wadsworth Blvd, Lakewood, CO 80235 Next meeting: Thursday, 30 January, 2020 at 6:30 PM MST.

Other: Oddly, we closed more topics than we opened. I wouldn't count on that happening a lot in our future. I have random questions if we run short of topics. I suspect that will not be the case, however. Last edited by Publius; 01-25-2020 at 09:35 PM. |

Hey gang.
I just wanted to post this in case someone was looking for the event on the calendar. For the third week in a row, it was me and one other person that were present. When others are present it's one or two people at the most, and it just seems like this is something that while interesting and something most people support, it's just not something most of us have time for. It's probably not worth trying to hold a regular weekly event at this point, however most of the people on here have my contact info. If someone wants to get together I am always interested. If there seems to be more interest or demand in the future, we can always start it back up. Thanks so much to those that did attend. It was a lot of fun for me, and I learned things. It was definitely worthwhile to me, and for that you have my most sincere thanks. |
