  1. Legality is objective, morality subjective. People will always heed their morals (their real ones, not the fake bullshit they put up for show for the other idiots to show off what "morally integer" person they are), whether they heed laws depends on the old "reward vs risk*punishment".

  2. Considering the recent record, this can only lead to an improvement of the legal system.

    Well, at least they're honest about being selfish bastards. That's one notch up from the two airheads that are currently blaring at each other in every debate.

  5. For you, certainly.

    For me, no, I don't know him and I cannot verify your claim that your brother has cancer, actually, I cannot even verify his existence.

  6. Ah, but if you look closely you'll notice that the heat only starts when we start measuring it with satellites. Conclusion: Satellites cause global warming, we have to stop funding NASA. If we can't measure it, it doesn't happen.

    Plants also need freshwater and fertile soil to grow. Otherwise deserts would be forests.

    If it was at least a viscous cycle we could pour it down on the fires.

  9. True, but that's only part of the story. Every time the climate shifts big time, the top dogs of the food chains got fucked big time.

    Guess who this is this time around.

    Well, he's not entirely wrong. More people use more fossil fuels, so fewer people would mean less introduction of CO2 to the atmosphere.

    We should start with the biggest polluters, though. Nuke the US.

  11. Damn right, everyone's talking about our forests dying, but if I veer off the road just once, rest assured there's some damn suicidal tree hopping in front of me!

  12. Hey! We're not even sure whether it's man made as long as it's climate related, now you come with an argument that is certainly man made but not climate related. Stop introducing new variables, we're trying to have a sensible bickering here!

  13. Some people just want to see the world burn...

  14. Same kind of loudmouths as on the other side of the fence, just different flavor.

  15. In Rod we trust!

  16. So you found the one thing they are at least comparable at.

    Quite frankly, when facing the question whether HFCS or Marijuana should be scheduled, the former would make way more sense.
