    You are implying that masturbation arises from a partner with poor bedroom skills, that masturbation is a sign of a troubled relationship and that ideally no one would ever masturbate. You poor, deluded sap. You are part of the problem. PS - I hope you feel really guilty when you masturbate.

    The "risk" involves death or permanent disability. And you are advocating that this risk is acceptable for something as simple as travel. Dear sir, where were you when they were handing out ethics? You are prepared to actually kill people to support your crackpot idea. You're just as bad as the terrorists.

    Yeah because there are NO complications involved with sedation. You know, anyone can do it. You don't need any skill or equipment. Doctors are just lying to everyone else about the risks to prevent others from cashing in on their lucrative business.... /sarcasm

    These would be very uncomfortable, perhaps enough such that behavioral indicators (how one bends or sits down) can be used effectively to narrow the profile of such people without resorting to physically checking everyone for scars.

    Right. Proper climate science works with periods of at least 30 years, preferably 100. These show a hefty upward trend.

    Your definition of "proper climate science" being "only looking at the window of data that supports my posit". How about broadening the window a little - say the last 2 million years? Yeah, the trend is quite evident - we're in a warming phase. Oh shit, wait, people were causing global warming 1 million years ago?

    Growing trees fix a lot of CO2 from the atmosphere. Mature trees only need enough carbon to replace losses due to falling leaves/branches, etc. Growth is not exponential, at one point you get diminishing returns as the optimal size/girth for the species is approached. GP is correct, trees not only fix carbon from atmospheric CO2 via photosynthesis but they also respire, re-releasing CO2 into the atmosphere. The difference between the two is only a few kg/hectare per year in a mature forest.

    Yeah it's a classic example of post hoc rationalization. Current data has departed from the predicted doomsday scenario, so scapegoats are looked for to explain why the original theory is inaccurate - instead of accepting that perhaps the original theory was BS to start with. Best yet is that now the end of the world has been delayed, but somehow it's going to be worse. Send more dollars please!

    Sure, if it makes you happy. By the way I have a coin that I say is worth 10 million dollars in my right pocket. And in my left pocket I wrote myself an IOU for 10 million dollars. Should I tell everyone how rich I am? Do you think this will improve my credit rating, or are they just going to look at my debts to third parties?
