I'm not that creative. I would think overpopulation could lead to food shortage. Loss of topsoil to erosion, desertification, loss of Rain Forest might contribute to food problems. Reduction of fossil fuels will make transport of food more problematic. Let's face it...we're doing more to harm the planet than help it. I'm constantly amazed at how I can go somewhere that I think nobody has ever been before in the remote forest...and find beer cans. I've read that if we had to start over; we couldn't. The ores and minerals that were within reach of men with shovels have been mined. We now need heavy equipment that had to be built from the ores that were in the surface. It means we can't start from scratch anymore. That's concerning. It means we have to be smart. We aren't always smart. BTW...I love being a moderate. It means most everyone argues with me because I'm not far enough in their camp for their tastes. lol I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet.. But do you think it would be appropriate to just remove all of the warning labels and let nature take its course.

I'm not convinced that CO2 is going to bring down the atmosphere any time soon. If that is the only thing this discussion is about, then I probably shouldn't have posted at all. I just consider the issue of AGW a subset of polution in general. Living in Europe has hilighted to me how wasteful Americans are. We ARE burning our fossil fuels at an incredible rate. Next time you are stuck in traffic, take a look around. All running on fossil fuel. Most carrying one person. Going nowhere. Kind of poetic. Nuclear waste is piled up at (and around) a facility in the US that never even got certified to store it. Do you know when that waste is going to be safe? Me neither. Just seems like a bad idea, doesn't it? I DO NOT believe the end is near. But we pretend to be intelligent creatures. Can't we look forward and see that there MUST be an end? Shouldn't we act accordingly? I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Excellent point. Follow the money. It often leads to the truth. Funny, since so much deception revolves around money. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

I didn't say I supported anyone's agenda. I just said we can do better and starting sooner rather than later is a good idea.

I've always maintained that hate and love are not opposites. They have a great deal in common. They will both occupy your thoughts and focus them on one person. They will both motivate you to action. They are very intense. I've always maintained that the opposite of love is apathy. It is not intense; does not motivate you, and; requires no action or thought. So, it isn't terribly surprising that people can go from love to hate so easily. How many love affairs end with intense negative feelings / hate? How many relationships start out with crazy love and end up with four rounds to the head and chest? (News story today about 'Bladerunner') Humans are a funny animal.

Why? The total point of a denier (to use a term thrown around here often) is that the supposed effects are nowhere near the Armageddon type predictions that were made and are not coming true. Lawrocket rightly points out that nothing predicted has come to pass Time to look at it again As for the 98% thingy? A talking point. Wishful thinking at best Nothing more than that Fair question. 1. Don't shit where you eat. We only have one planet. We should probably take care of it. 2. I don't think we are near the end. But why get closer? 3. The air? I'm breathing that stuff. I want the best I can get. The water? Drinking it. Eating fish out of it. SCUBA in it. Better is just better. 4. I'm not onboard with the scientists who say we are approaching the end. But that means I don't really trust them to predict the tipping point, either. I'm concerned that we will surpass the planet's ability to deal with our crap and not know it until it is too late. See #1. 5. Population is booming. We will go too far. We've done so much to thwart disease, malnutrition and poverty that even the weak of the herd are thriving. 6. The Rain Forest isn't expanding. The Sahara isn't shrinking. Seems like a bad trend. 7. Fossil fuels are finite. We're burning them when we need them for durable functions such as polymers. Sunlight is about as infinite as we're going to get. Shouldn't we balance our use of the two better? 8. Sometimes, I look at how we treat the planet and I feel all 'locust'. I'd like to feel a bit more 'Avatar'. 9. Soylent Green, man. Soylent Green. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Nike ad saying "I am the bullet in the chamber" has been removed from his website. Shot four times in the head and chest. You have to work hard to get me that mad at 4am.

I certainly question it. Take a look at her picture. I'm sure at 4am, she looks like a 6ft 5in, 240lb guy with a baseball bat, but....nah.

Good morning everyone! Last night, I got 'Skyfall' on DVD, hooked up an additional set of speakers so I ended up with surround sound, connected the DVD player and had a great theater experience. Having a good evening usually leeds to me having a good morning. So, I'm wishing everyone else a good morning as well. Bottoms up! (coffee mugs. Not...well...you know) I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Why can't it just be aimed at preventing domestic abuse? Men get abused as well. The name just doesn't sit well with me. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Just as many firearms owners have been motivated by fear of a gun ban, some people have set their hair on fire regarding invisible firearms. I was the first cop in my department to carry the 'invisible' Glock 17. Soon after I started carrying it, an X-Ray tech at the ER asked to take an X-Ray of it. It was so clearly a Glock 17 with high cap and filled magazine that it was laughable. Physics make it very difficult to have a truly invisible firearm. The projectile requires mass and the ability to withstand great pressure without disintegrating. The barrel needs to be able to resist great pressure without distorting or breaking. Some parts of the weapon can be made of polymers...some can't. That may change one day, but it is not today. I know it just wouldnt be right to kill all the stupid people that we meet..

Violence Against Women Act - Who Voted Against It? Shouldn't everyone vote against it? I mean, it's an act that requires violence against women, right? Maybe the name isn't really all that helpful.
