According to my sister, there are two possible opinions people are capable of holding regarding global warming.

1) That humanity is causing the environment to quickly roast to death and should voluntarily go extinct to save the planet.

2) Gobal Warming is an evil evil liberal lie, the planet is not warming AT ALL. 

And if you don't believe that humanity is causing the environment to quickly roast to death and should voluntarily go extinct to save the planet, then you're evil evil neocon scum-sucking garbage who should be shot in the face a hundred times except you're so worthless that you aren't worth the cost of even a single bullet. 

And apparently, since my position is that yes, there is global climate change happening, but that there are a number of factors contributing to it besides human industrial activity, she feels I should be shot in the face a hundred times. 

Just point out to her her own place in HER grand scheme of things every time she rides in a car or bus, uses anything made of plastic, paper, rubber, or just about anything else. Don't forget to compare her to Barbra Streisand, who was accusing people of wasting energy, while living alone in a 26,000 sq. ft. air-conditioned home in Southern California.

Twenty five years ago, everybody wanted to see Micheal Jackson's head catch fire, but nobody got to.

Now, my morbid curiosity is satiated.

But, is it really necessary for EVERY entertainment show to put the same few seconds of footage on A-B Loop for ten minutes at a time, EVERY night?

Ha haaaa, , ,YES!

The local supermarket has a free snack giveaway for kids daily.  My son was PO'd about today's choice of Quaker Oats bars. After having one, I can't really blame him.

CafePress?

Yes!!!!!!!!

They rejected this picture because they thought the people on it were celebrities, and because the Olympic rings are trademarked.

Global warming is both.

I think we've had 5 ice ages, if the Earth didn't naturally warm up then we'd still be in one.
It warms up and then it gets cooler, the problem is mankind is speeding the process up. The Earth (and it's creatures) aren't able to adapt quick enough there's a natural equilibrium to things that's being destroyed by this...it would've happened anyway but we're making the problem worse.

You know those little cartons of milk you used to get in gradeschool? When I was in 1st grade, I believe the first day of school, I got one of those of chocolate milk and hated it. I went on drinking white milk until I was a senior, when one day they only had chocolate. I drank it and liked it, it didn't taste anything like what I had remembered it as. Then, near the end of my senior year, I got one and it tasted just like the one years ago: horrible, but this time I recognized it as being spoiled. I drank white milk at lunch for almost the entire time I was in school due to the fact that the first time I tried the school's chocolate milk, it was spoiled. Weird, eh?

Not really.  I mean, negative "first" experiences on something can affect our outlook on it for a loong time.

So, I'm at Barnes and Nobles the other day and I have to say, there are WAYY to many damn vampire/witch/werewolf books out there, and I can't blame Twilight either because it's been like that for awhile now...

I saw something where they talked about how the sun's output goes in cycles also, and how present global warming is following that trend exactly. The thing is, they spoke of the calculated number of degrees the earth has warmed up, and it was a very small number at it's worst. I just don't see how such a small number can make the difference some people claim, considering the variation from year to year is several times that at least.

All in all though, if we're changing the temperature, it's eventually going to start doing bad things, no denying that.

What frustrates me about the whole thing is many environmentalist's 'all or nothing' stance that gets in the way of progress. Try and build a nuke plant, and they start passing around flyers with pictures of people effected by Chernobyl (Which is a different situation altogether). Try and build windmill farms, and they complain that it uglys up the landscape, same with a solar power farm. They've already started rallying against geothermal power, stating the disastrous design flaws in systems that haven't even been designed yet (Yes, it's as stupid as that sounds). I deal with environmentalists on a regular basis, and their outlook is often incredibly stupid, and very much in the way of progress. I hike in a forest that is about 30 miles by 30 miles, and has a trail that is a couple miles ling and a foot wide, and these a***oles b***h if you step a one foot off the trail. They apparently aren't smart enough to know that grass grows back.

There was a guy trying to make a simple, inexpensive 'kit' to convert vehicles to natural gas or hydrogen, I don't remember exactly what, but it was MUCH cleaner than diesel of gas. Well these eco-terrorists destroyed the Hummer he was converting, despite it saying on the side of it that it was a green vehicle, ect. When confronted, they b***hed that he was working on such a big vehicle, not some little sub-compact. So, they want him to start with a vehicle that already gets 45 MPG, and NOT the one that gets 7. Not to mention that they added five tires and a windshield to the local landfill. One of their b***hes is that making a large truck that is green will make more people want to drive trucks. That's fine logic if your little sub-compact could tow a boat.

I know, but I feel kinda retarded for not recognizing it as being spoiled, or at least recognize it as not typical for chocolate milk. If not right away, I should have caught on within the decade.

I'm watching Sgt. Kabukiman solely for the purpose of seeing Susan Byun's boobies.

My wife insisted that I join a Harry Potter fan club board with her online friends.  I now know that geekiness has no boundries.
