Oh my god, me too. Some of the folks in Alabama also think my last name is a common "Thai" last name---I shit you not.



Some people pronounce my name 'Foxy' and interact with me here for 3 or 4 years in the belief that I'm a Thai ladyboy go-go dancer. disbelief

People who think Thais come from Taiwan. This has happened more often than you'd imagine, especially when I was back in the UK temping.



Yeah, and I've got some that are similar... people who think Sweden is spelled Sweeden and consequently spells Sweedish, Sweede and so on wrong... and who think that Sweden is part of Switzerland, or that they're one and the same. "Oh yes, Sweeden. I know you make good watches!" they'll say all happily and I go "No, that's Switzerland." and so on. neutral


rolleyes everyone knows sweden is the capital of switzerland

Where does all the crap we put into the air GO?. There is no release valve to let that shit out into outerspace. It's scary that people are so wedded to corporate welfare that they would rather kill the entire planet than have corporations spend one single cent in cleaning up their act. Frightening, scary, horrific and insane. I can't believe you don't believe global warming isn't happening.

It's one thing for people to take conservative stances on abortion--that's a moral argument. But to attribute global warming to strictly natural cycles? falloff That's funny.

That really isn't the point. confused Nobody claims that there isn't a cyclical nature to warming and cooling. But the arctic ice shelves are melting and the last century has been an industrial boom complete with pollutants and chemicals harmful to humans. Why wouldn't that be harmful to the atmosphere? Conservatives want to keep a fucking corpse alive (Terry Schiavo) just to side on the side of life but don't want to side on all our lives, including THEIR OWN and have no problem whatsoever in allowing polluters to pollute to their hearts content.....anything for $$$$. Why wouldn't you want to side on the side of caution on this subject. We only have one earth and our pumping crap into the air has to have an effect. When I come into Downtown LA and can't even see the city from a few miles away because of all the smog, how does that not affect us.

i'll stop you right there. while the area of the ice shelves has shrunk, the ice mass has gotten thicker.

Tell that to the polar bears who have less space to hunt on or the native people who have relied on the ice being in place for a certain amount of time during the year.

Actually, this year saw a large number of young walrus drownings because the ice has receded so much they're unable to make reach them, and they're abandonned by their mothers.

I'm not saying that we're not in some type of natural cycle which also attributes to it, but this doesn't mean that global warming theories are just "mad science finction stories".

And since we only have one planet why nnot err on the side of caution!? We are supposed to err on the side of caution when it comes to pregnancy, comatose vegetables and all other personal matters but not this? Why the switch. You'd think people who are constantly so "cautious" would actually care that we are contributing to the problem.

I'm not saying global warming doesn't exist either. But until there's some evidence that it ISN'T a man-made problem, it's only slavish devotion akin to a sort of religion that the people who believe in it are holding onto.

I'm all for doing everything we can to cut down on pollution. But at the same time, let's all cut down on the political rhetoric about it on both sides until we know.

And keep in mind that the Earth has undergone much more catastrophic changes in the last several billion years than we could EVER do to it. The planet is going to be fine. It'll keep on rotating whether we're here lobbing nukes at each other or driving our SUV's to go pick up a gallon of milk. It's only the status quo for ourselves that we want to save, independent of "saving the planet" that doesn't need saving.

Point taken on all the natural events but we have never had a century of industrialization either.

So what does it say that a majority, SIGNIFICANT MAJORITY of the scientific community believes this is a real issue and you can SEE ice shelves melting before our very eyes, yet people don't want to acknowledge science? The question is WHY?. Corporate whoredom is one. Any others?

"significant majority of the scientific community" doesn't mean anything, because that's extremely vague and doesn't say anything about what their scientific backgrounds, qualifications, or area of expertise are. the significant majority of the scientific community are not climatologists, nor do they study anything relating to it.
