    He may have a point. All that effort into making airplanes reliable and not prone to droping out of the sky as heavy metal objects are wont to do, does seem to have worked.

    Perhaps the world should just stop reproducing

    YES Count the number of people on this planet. The world has somewhere in the region of 6.75 to 6.92 billion people. That's to many.

    Experts say wireless routers come with encryption software, but setting it up means a trip to the manual.

    Where did he steal anything, all he did was to play a game with much improved odds of him winning. The casinos made these machines freely available to be used and what he did was adopt a scheme of play which rewards him for his investment of hundreds to thousands of dollars, with even more money. If someone offers to play a broken game where you are guaranteed by playing in such a way, to make a profit, is playing in such a way stealing from the person runing the game? No.

    Here's a great example of just how amazing Americans are! Watch 6:16 onwards.

    This is horrifying. That a child has been brought up and taught that the conversion rate for American lives too an entire country is; a few Americans at risk, (after first attempt fails) KILL THEM ALL, because yeah who cares?

    Yes he's only a child and may not have a better understanding of the sanctity of human life, but someone taught him this!

    Your post sneakily mocks the global warming crowd. This makes your post better.

    By global warming crowd do you mean the people who belive that enough scientific evidence can warrent a response to stop the events which would most likely happen without change?

    By threat to Earth I meant an event which would cause the Earth to lose its identity as a planet. One way woud be falling into a gas giant, sun, black hole or another astronomical object large enough that the Earth would become part of the object. Or a collision which splits the planet near in half, where neither of the resulting objects could be labled the Earth while still being planet sized.

    The phrase "threat to the Earth", when used by a human, means "theat to the Earth's suitablity as our home".

    I agree that the term threat to the Earth is typicaly used in relation to us. This is why I said it was pedantic to interpret it the way I did, though maybe picky would have been a better term to describe how I chose to read the article.

    ...we wouldn't.There is no possible threat to the Earth which humans could ever make even the smallest abount of diffence about. Instead there is a threat to civilisation. Pedantic, I know but the only threat to the earth is crashing into a star or another planet. Humanity compared is much more fragile, threatened by a mere mile wide rock or similar.
