Hmmm...according to Wikipedia, something like 3,300,000 board feet of wood was used in the construction, and most of the exterior utilized pine.

Even if it were all fake, the area was cleared of heaps of shag ark trees before an endangered species of Indiana bats could migrate there to nest. So much habitat loss for the sake of pseudoscience.

Ok, maybe you are right, but it looked fake because the construction insulation paneling was exposed in the pick I saw, just like you'd see on any new house or new business. That would also make it a waste of trees too.

Kentucky is a reliable red state.  If the fuckers don't like the way it is going it is up to them to change it.  Clearly, fucking jesus is not coming through for them.

Minn, there is very little you say that upsets me.

But when it comes to empathetic people, I could give a shit what state or what country they live in.

Is Atlass full of shit on claims of Allah? Sure, but I am no more worried about him booking a one way flight into a skyscraper than I am Hillbilly Atheist shooting me with his shotgun. 

Liberals are our allies, and to abandon them and ignore them, is wrong. If they feel written off, that wont give them the motivation to try. 

I have another online friend in Pakistan, who is an atheist, and hates Trump and bigotry as much as you and I do. 

Liberals and even atheists exist in even Kentucky. I refuse to write off any human who values empathy, no matter where they live.

I am with you in fighting fear and conservatives. But no, I will not write off my best friend just because he lives in a red state.

That is just a couple of groups in Kentucky 

Wanna try Oklahoma?

That is just a small sample, but we exist in all 50 states. And so do our liberal theist friends.

You really do need to learn how political power is exercised, Brian.

What does that have to do with my friend  in Oklahoma or my friend in Pakistan whom are on our side?

Wealth equals power, and those powers know how to convince the locals to support them, that does not mean all locals are convinced. 

Sorry, but I have known HB for 16 years, longer than I have known you. 

Minn, even if all 7 billion of us were atheists, we'd still have divisions, different economic views, different social norms and wealth above us trying to convince us to support them so they can keep their power.

If you want more allies you cant simply say "fuck you" to the minorities in the world who live under majorities you don't like.

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL I just saw an ad on tv for this place. They even said "Think bigger" at the end I'm dying.

Let me know when they reach sufficient numbers to actually change something.

That's power.  Which is not to be confused with whining.
