The claim of GENOCIDE is just silly ;
wikipedia (the source of all wisdom and truth, I know) states an annual 2.225% growth rate for the population.
This has to be the slowest, counterproductive, genocide the world has ever seen.
QUOTE "Why the hostility? Well as a non-believer, I had people trying to ram religion down my throat for most of my life-- it generated a lot of hostility on my part. I just wanted to be left alone to live my life."
Well my story is just the opposite. All my life I've heard people "preaching" about evolution because some guy with glasses and a lab coat told them so. Personally I just cannot take "the leap of faith" about the origins of life ; it seems so incredibly unlikely that one day a cell just "plopped" into existence with the ability to procreate, and then against all odds survived everything the galaxy will throwed at it for 6 billion years.
Is it not perfectly sane to refuse a theory that has no PROOF about it's vital premises ?
Could it be that the spaghetti monster's meatballs, actually evolved on the flying mass of dough ?
It seems to me that given enough time life with the ability to reproduce will pop up, and evolve into savory tasty meatballs.
So what are you going to do when one monkey violates another monkey's rights ?
Are you going to arrest the alpha male for serial-raping, or killing a monkey from another race/tribe ?
Or will you allow IT that right ? While punishing humans for violating those ?
QOUTE:
And the ad hominem isn't helping your case.
ANSWER:
And it certainly won't help your case; you won't believe him because he is just "some person"...you just made an "ad hominem" argument.
The matter of contention is not if global warming is happening at all, but if it caused by humanity. Humans emit 1/2 percent of the total co2 emissions globally.
Is it so strange to look at the media circus and the pc-crowd and doubt their "noble intentions" ?

Girl : the chance that we'll ever go out is a million to one.
Guy: so.....wait a minute.... you're telling me there IS a chance.

Why won't you let him try an 100% h2o "atmosphere".Let us now draw the conclusion that water is a pollutant and it should be banned.
