Does São Paulo have more cars than people even if you include children? Surely there must also be an underclass of very poor or homeless people who do not own cars. What accounts for the fact that there are more cars than people? Is it c

I believe trailer trucks require a special license to drive -- and they also tend to drive more slowly, especially in cities. Plus, they don't have incredible acceleration.

If you get 95% of your calories from hunting you will spend a lot of time chewing tough pieces of meat. Kids who grow up chewing meat and gnawing on bones develop larger and wider jaws (and more attractive faces) and they have space for wi

You’re just wrong and determined, apparently. I just don’t know what to say to someone who doesn’t think it is possible to empirically verify that some people have a homosexual orientation.

Yes, I believe transgender people exist if you define the condition as people who wish they were of the opposite sex or mistakenly think they are of the opposite sex. They definitely really have mental conditions that result in wishes and

It is already clear to me that Luka is going to win more championships than LeBron. Luka is still 5-6 years away from hitting his peak as a player. He won’t even be 30 six years from now.

Jordan never lost in the NBA finals and he has more championships than LeBron. LeBron has lost the finals more often than he has won the finals. What kind of great player is that?

There is no empirical way to verify if someone is actually transgender. In fact, there really is no theoretical way that a person could even be transgender unless one accepts the idea of a non-material soul that is somehow gendered. Wheth
