If you’re going to believe in a creator anyway, why not decide they have arbitrarily chosen to favor one group over another?

This comment equates to saying “I don’t care what you think”, and is a perfect example of something that is literally never justified to say on a forum where you have no requirement to interact with them.

If you don’t care what individual people think then simply don’t talk to them.

This doesn’t contradict or respond to the comment you are replying to in any way.

> Regarding bad weather; if winter is bad enough for bicycles to fail, then certainly it is not safe to drive either, and lethality is orders of magnitude higher. Generally though people here ride bike paths that are shovelled and brined just as the roadways are.

Extreme hot weather and pollution are both a much bigger health risk for bikes than cars.

Many places build dedicated bus lanes, and a few places build roads specifically dedicated to buses, like the Queensland Busway system

Yes, they have. And they found it to be correct.

Iran's leadership seems to be a solid rebuttal of that argument.

Bro. You cannot “always tell”. Get over yourself and whatever you are citing to support that ridiculous claim.

One might equally insightfully consider that psychopaths get married.

This is like saying that of course people could tell Ted Bundy was a psychopath, it always shows.

It’ll quiet down once we make it illegal and/or justification to be committed to an asylum to have opinions we don’t like - the way it was in the old, tolerant days.

Yes but when they’re not, they choose politics. See: Catholics right now.

If you’re genuinely wondering; it’s because cake is not a nutritionally complete food and will also not cure cancer.

That’s the logic Keynes used to suggest that we’d all be working 15 hour weeks by now, with computers doing all the work.

Needless to say, we have discovered that productivity gains are not consistently converted into reduced costs and work hours.

Well, dropping bombs and threatening to end a civilization certainly made me think the temperature had gone up. I’m not sure I think a single attempted act against some guy is worth being worried by against that backdrop.
