i honestly don’t get why people come here to try and argue with other people about their posts. this is the real worlds problems we lose track of whats important and look at who we can criticize first to make our selves look better when all of this really does not solve any problem. and i think these quotes are funny and i believe they are only meant to be up here as something to amuse you not to start arguments about misquotes and other poppycock. and to that i bid you all good day.

Experts! Why on Earth do we give them the time of the day?
The more things change the more they remain the same.
No we have experts in Economics telling us how to get out the mess they created and getting bonuses for their expertise!

Interesting, though as stated before, probably taken out of context.

On another note, for those that do not believe in human activity in global warming, even if it is a natural process and we are spending money on things that we should find better possibilites for it, is it not better to be prepared against all possible threats that could wipe out all life on the planet, no matter how small of a percentage it is that it could actually happen?

“Nobody will pay money to wash their own clothes.”

This is what a banker told my father in 1952 when he attempted to get a loan for a coin operated laundromat outside the gate of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.

Gee,sounded like a good idea.

Yes we contributed to global warming. And maybe we can completely close up the ozone layer therefore stopping it (i might have it bit wrong) but if we do that we do not get some necessary things and we die anyway. So either way WE DIE but the earth lives (except it doesnt live)

@ Frogsmasher

I don’t think the issue of global warming is humans permanently harming the Earth. I think the issue is humans permanently harming humans. And as far as I’m concerned, getting us to reduce air pollution, for whatever reason (even if the reason is made up), is a good thing.

I would just like to say on the subject of Global warming that anyone who thinks that a creature as miserable and low as man could actually hurt something like the Earth on anything more than a temporary basis is and imbecile.

The Earth has been around for MILLIONS of years and somehow man can manage to permanently damage it in less than a thousand? I don’t think so. Look at the geological evidence global warming ,a lot like the ice age, is a naturally occurring event repeated over and over throughout the life of the Earth.

“Technically, that first prediction came true, computers don’t weigh more than 1.5 tons, they weigh extraordinarily less.” – Joel on Jun 26, 2008

I think it was the fact that he gave a really large number, I believe it would be the equivalent of telling a pregnant woman that her baby will come out weighing no more than an Elephant.

Honestly…

Great job criticizing The Voice of Reason. I bet your grammar usage really taught him a lesson. How many times did you go over your comment before you posted it to make sure you had no spelling mistakes yourself? I can spot at least five grammatical errors in those two sentences you typed. Your response to him was extremely childish. If I didn’t know any better (and I don’t), I would guess you have had some problems with spelling yourself, which is probably the reason you are so quick to use that as an insult. Either that or you couldn’t think of anything better to say, which is believable.

I thought that NASA was supposed to employ the most intellectual people possible? At least that is what I have been led to believe up until now. The whole 9-11 conspiracy theory is debatable, and I don’t criticize your position towards that. The same goes for your 10,000 years comment. But in regards to global warming, I have to say you are the finest example of an ignorant American. And I can say that being an American myself. I find it funny that you actually call yourself ‘NASA Engineer’ in your comment. It’s almost as if you did that to try to make your statements seem irrefutable, like if you had put your real name no one would have taken you seriously. Come on down from your cloud and help the rest of us solve the problem instead of being part of it.

Oh, and ‘greg’?
I hope you realize how foolish you have made yourself look. People like you are the reason that so many other countries hate America and the people that inhabit it.

There is only one comment for Americans:
So little to say, so much space…
