Carl Sagan testifying before Congress in 1985 on how the greenhouse effect will change the global climate system.
“I think what is essential for this problem is a global consciousness. A view that transcends our exclusive identifications”

@latwal_vivek@krupali_bhuvad I don't know whether sin exists or not. I don't even know what it means. You all have different definitions for the same thing.
And your argument(if you call it that) certainly hasn't budged me a bit, if anything I'm more adamant than ever.
@latwal_vivek@krupali_bhuvad ...but, what about that one good person who suffers because of the greed of others? Don't tell me God did not want him amidst the evil, so he took him away!
And the newborn baby? Why did she have to pay for her mother's sins?
@latwal_vivek@krupali_bhuvad Are you really serious? You can't be!!
How's one supposed to live without a roof over his head?
I couldn't agree more that the cause for most earthquakes and floods are humans. It's the greed that's killing the planet. But..

@latwal_vivek@krupali_bhuvad I'm not sure if you're being sarcastic but I do have a genuine question:
What's the justification for those who lose their lives through no faults of their own like in an earthquake or flood? A newborn child dies, why?
Today we remember Kofi Annan, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize alongside the @UN for his work for a better organised and more peaceful world.

@SemioticSapien@washingtonpost I agree but the problem was that no one anticipated the situation would get so worse so quickly. People weren't ready to leave the country until it was too late! They were foolishly hopeful!
@AmreekS07646492 There's no guarantee that a guilty put in jail comes out innocent. So, is there no point in jail then?
One must do one's part, no matter the results. One must try! Always!
@abdullah_0mar If the USA hadn't done what it'd been doing, the Taliban would only have gained confidence and tried expanding their territory. Someone had to spank their butts!
