    This week was a great example - They recieved the three dvd's Monday Morning. They "shipped" one dvd Monday (which didn't arrive yesterday) they "Shipped" the second movie yesterday, and they'll "Ship" one movie today.

    During the sign up period it was three movies recieved on Monday, Three movies Shipped on Monday, and three Movies recieved on Tuesday.

    Screw em.

    Did they also include a patent for slowing shipping down because you rent too many movies from them?

    After all, Unlimited isn't really unlimited with netflix.

    I'm leaving netflix To go to blockbuster - I guess people like me defecting is what really prompted the lawsuit. Instead of living up to the "Unlimited Rentals" they are going to sue everyone else out of existance.

    So if I take a billion gallon bottle of Evian, and put in one tenth of a molecule of red dye - You'd be able to tell the difference?

    GOOD GOD MAN - It's THE SCOPE of the matter - RUN THE MATH! You're looking at .0000000179 (using your numbers) as man's contribution to the atmosphere. That's it - That's all.

    The head in the sand is YOURS.

    Yes, we need to clean up the environment, Yes we need to cut back on air pollution, but the sheer arrogance of thinking man can speed up, slow down, or stop global warming is mind numbing.

    umm - man made has no proof yet - I'll note with considerable amusement that the portion that would make your post completely meaningless was ignored by you -

    HOW MUCH AIR IS THERE? Get the square inches of the earth, and multiply by 14.1 = then divide by 2000 to get the tonnage. Then talk to me about scope, and how insignificant man kinds emissions really are...

    P.S. global warming is real, Man can't do anything to slow or stop it. Wasting time on Kyoto accords and other "Punish the polluters" plans just turn the focus away from what it should be - and that is preppping for the inevitable effects that global Climate change entails.

    For instance, When the global conveyer finishes shutting down - what's the plan to help Europe in the ice age it'll find itself in.

    Global Warming By Man proponents really don't understand the damage they are doing to our future. They're too busy thinking that by lighting 100 matches in their house that obviously, the homeowners halfway across the world would notice instead of prepping for an entirely natural event, and it's ramifications.

  8. Re:The real issue on Americans Gearing up to Fight Global Warming · · Score: 1

    Man cannot influence weather on a global scale. You take the opposite as a given.

    Here's a little thought experiment for you. Post the amount of tonnage of pollutants man dumps in the atmosphere in a year.

    then using the 14 psi model - find the tonnage of air we have on the earth and get back to me.

    Data seems to point to a combination of the two.

    You forgot that the moon is moving farther away, and that the earth's magnetic field is weakening. While the moon has ALWAYS been moving away, it would seem from the data that that the combination of global warming and the magnetic field weakening prove the point.

    Would you like me to start drawing fallacious comparisons between obesity and global warming, Bird flu and global warming, nuclear proliferation and global warming????

    like anyone's gonna keep on looking for something after they've found it?

    Try it sometime - I've done it a few times and peoples reactions are hilarious.

    I worked security in a casino one time, and the customer that asked me to find their keys came up and asked me "How was it going" - I kept looking around and said "Fine" and showed the key. They asked me what I was doing and and I said "Looking for the key" //cue their puzzled look - then they asked why - And I said " Well, they always say it's in the last place you look, and I just wanted to prove them wrong"...

    Also, if you drive up to an ATM with Braille, keep your eyes staring sightlessly and start yelling about the braille being worn off. You get a lot of startled looks cause they think you're driving blind.

    This person sounds just like the person where I work where when an internal app crashes, she fires off 10 angry e-mails, won't follow steps to troubleshoot it with repeated "I already did that" protestations, Then e-mails back with "Bob the magnificent fixed it".

    It wasn't the app, it was her freaking customized browser settings.

    But of course, it's the IT's fault. Because like, She really isn't a corporate suckup bimbo who maintains her job not by competance, but by gossip, intrigue, and florishes of Drama Queen explosions..
