war famine pestilence ..global warming...+...apathy = ?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
ok a little I need to go to work tomorrow and pay some bills

actually I'm bored spitless today which is why I decided to stir the cauldron a bit
when i was 15 i knew all the answers now i wish i could find my car keys
seriously, i don't know
maybe we've all just been living with imminent destruction (nukes biologics , terrorists) for so long we're desensitized
Do i think it's right to spend 10,000 bucks on a hip replacement for a dog when kids in other countries don't have basic health care?
Or think about the cost of organ transplants 1/2 a million?

By the same token, do I want to work extra days a year so some crack whore can stay home and have babies?

I totally don't know and can't even extricate my thought process from this
It's just too complicated.
Like ok if i got a roommate that would help my bills and the environment right? wrong it would lead to great discord
I'm selfish I need my space basically I'm set up so my house is a couple miles from my family so if i need them /they need me we're close enough

Ok and those lightbulbs Ok they would make me feel better like i was helping right? but how much difference would it make as opposed to no longer having my fish which i really ok for today somewhat enjoy
actually just energy deregulation in md is making me cut way back

Clean undies are nice, but if you have to choose between clean undies and a glass of clean water to drink which will it be? will you spend a little more to use a more ecologically friendly detergent?
water already costs more than gasoline

I am not sure, my undies are thirsty and so am I. I use the unfriendly detergent, it says it kills baby seals right on the bottle!
 
:)
that is a nasty warped sarcastic sense of humor
my favorite


oh if you become president will asian arrows be legal here?

Oh well
we'll probably have a pandemic or limited nuclear exchange before all that other annoying stuff

LOL this stuff can be such justification for being generally irresponsible in other ways
like hmm why plan for retirement
or pay off credit cards? huh
mow the lawn
umm i'm making habitat for suburban nature
and ok i'm too old but marriage and kids?
that's building for the future


ok except the marriage part anyone know any rich geezers?

I asked my boss but he laughed at me and told me i'd push him in front of a train for his money. i was like well not right awayyy


i mean if the infrastructure collapses i'm toast except i have useful medical skills
can't run, blind as a bat, have to be really provoked to fight and then it's no holds barred until i pass out or collapse...
 
undies...i think we do wat we do and that is it..our lives affect us..so live it like we want..cause the next day may be ur last...

does mankind have much of an effect on global warming or is it mostly a natural cycle ???

Johnptc....good point.

You know, an erupting volcano releases more crap into the air than mankind can produce in the last 300 years.

My own imaginatory theory is this: When you spin a top it wobbles. Earth is wobbling on its axis, hence the ice-age and facts of major climate change in different areas. I think these changes in climate can occur a lot quicker than the predicted 10,000 years. I say it can happen quicker...like in a 50 year period or so.
 
No doubt that humans contribute to changes in the earth's atmosphere. Warming and cooling are also a part of the earth's natural cycle.

Do not underestimate technological advances. 100 years ago people threw their garbage in the streets that were covered in horse manure from the buggies. Diseases were rampant because people did not know about disinfecting. Polio, tuberculosis, smallpox to name a few have all been controlled.

We continue to make cars, factories, and power plants cleaner and more efficient. This will drastically improve when we figure out cold fusion. The massive amount of people of course puts more of a strain on the environment. I would never deny that. I think in 20 years people of today will be shocked by the advances we have made. Technology is a blessing and a curse. I have a small child and have to have a little faith that things will improve.

By the way, global warming may kill the polar bears, but it will make it easier for the emperor penguins to breed and rear their young.

Sorry Tank but that is nonsense , Volcanoes actually help cool the Earth.
here is a link that will explain how.

this link may be better

Please explain what you think a couple Billion tonnes of CO2 put into the atmosphere each year by human activity does to the atmosphere?


I knew my high school chemistry teacher was smoking crack! I remember him telling us that back in the day.

I still think global climate change is inevitable and yes I do believe human emissions speed the process up. Why else would we have evidence of lush forests in desert lands, or sea shells and coral in central Texas? I do not have enough knowledge to debate on this but it is just my imaginatory opinion.
