I've noticed you have something to say on just about every post Garcia. What do you do during the day? Is this your entire life? You just read and post on slashdot all day?
Slashdot sucks by the way. There is never anything interesting here anymore. Just a bunch of stupid news, stuff that doesn't matter, and a bunch of wacky prophesying by know-it-all's like yourself. You need to lay off the x-files re-runs dude.
What's even more absurd is the same scientists would rather enforce a policy of prevention, rather than study the effects of global warming. I live in an area where temperatures go subzero every winter, which could potentially kill a man in minutes, but somehow we survive.
I think temperatures in the 120 to 130 range would be harder to deal with than subzero temperatures, but life will go on as normal, maybe we'll all go live in caves, heh heh.
Anyways, that's the thing that bothers me is their science is meant to promote a political agenda. I say keep the air clean of pollutants, CO2 is not a pollutant in my book, and until some OVERWHELMING evidence is presented that it is going to destroy the earth, for example "CO2 levels are too high and we're running out of oxygen", I'll ignore it.
I'll tell you it's those gosh darn HOLES in the OZONE layer! They're lazering the gosh darn icebergs to death.
I'll tell you what I'm doing. I'm gonna build me a bomb shelter so that when the earth blows up from global warming, I'll still be alive and kickin! I think I'll go out and buy me some bullets, now that I think about it!
I said this back when they sued that guy who leaked the beta developer version of their OS. They must have a team of lawyers looking for something to do, looking to make a name for themselves, or something. They need to fire all these lawyers and ramp up their public relations efforts.

I agree completely, alcohol is a gateway drug, it may lead to getting stoned, smoking cigarettes, whatever.
I don't think cannabis is considered gateway because it introduces people to getting high, they may have gotten high at the dentist. It introduces them to illegal trafficking networks where they obtain access to other drugs.
Your belief that people will tend to stick with one drug is complete nonsense, it has no foundation. You are speaking from your own experience, your use of the word "preference" makes it sound as though it is an addiction. You typically move on to something else for the same reason you started using marijuana in the first place.

Actually, I don't think opiates are inherently evil; alcohol and tobacco do immeasurably more harm. Unfortunately, opiate's illegality drives users into a criminal lifestyle, without that it might be more manageable.
Well here you have stated my point quite well, that Marijuana truly is a "gateway drug". It drives people into a criminal lifestyle. Your experience with Marijuana isn't the same as mine. You have seen it at parties simply because of it's widespread use, but the people bringing it to the parties probably smoke it every day. Ask them how many times they've tried to quit. The parties I went to revolved around Marijuana, roll a few joints and play some music and you have a party. Eventually I stopped smoking it at parties because I decided I would rather be alert, socially active, pot would give me couch-lock and slow my brain down at parties.
You feel alcohol and tobacco do immeasurably more harm, which may be true, but they are also connected to this gateway system. You go to a party and get drunk, and next thing you know you're smoking pot, because it's fun and cool and all that. It is irrational for you to believe that the buck just stops dead at anything beyond Marijuana.
So why use it then?
That is a very good question. There is plenty of reason *not* to use it. I think peer presure and pop culture are the two greatest influences.
Why am I wrong? Because you don't want to accept any personal responsibility?
I didn't smoke pot to be cool at parties, I smoked it by myself because I liked it. What you are saying is a lie made up by the anti-drug war types who think legalizing marijuana is the right thing to do. They may use phony statistics to make their point but I think it really boils down to common sense. The gateway drug argument has a lot of weight. I was young at the time, willpower grows stronger with age and as greater responsibility amounts. So I *did* take responsibility at some point. I don't know where you put yourself. Perhaps you intend to use it in moderation your whole life, like I drink alcohol in moderation. I don't know how old you are either, or what your family situation is. Pot these days is strong, I used to smoke one little tiny piece, maybe the size of an m&m, and it would bake me for the whole night after I got off work. If I did that right now I would be a stoned idiot around my wife and kid, all the time as far as they could tell. Back when I was young, I had nothing to do after work.

The whole concept of an addictive personality is subjective, and thus irrelevant. I experimented in my youth but eventually I decided there were more important things in life. If you are saying that I am rare in that I sought out so-called "harder" drugs after becoming accustomed to pot, and that it is more natural for people to find pot and stick with it, you are wrong. I think that for the most part, it is a matter of supply and demand, the demand is there but the supply isn't. The punishment for smuggling opiates can be life in prison. Some people are detered by the legal penalties, some are afraid of a stigma that exists in their circle of friends, or their family. I visited a friend in california and smoked pot with some of his friends and I noticed that they looked down on so-called "harder" drugs, like opium, yet pot was perfectly fine to them as it is to most potheads, even though opium has the same effect on one's life (amotivational syndrome). In my circle there was no stigma at all, I knew guys who were addicted to cocaine, I could care less about that but to each his own. Some people simply can't afford anything but pot, which is dirt cheap in comparison to everything else. You'll notice that the rich and famous are more likely to gravitate toward the so-called "harder" drugs. The only reason people think like you do is because pot is everywhere, it is legal in Amsterdam, abundant in south/central America, in the mass media, movies, music and other pop-culture. It is socially acceptible for someone to smoke pot, but anything else and they've crossed some made-up threshold, into the deep dark realm of the "harder" drug. It's bullshit I tell you. Opium and pot are almost the same damn thing, they give you a body sensation and relax you, one clears up your mind the other clouds up your mind.
Hipocritical of you to sit there and say I have an addictive personality, I'm assuming you are addicted to something. I still think about pot sometimes, but I cant say I've ever had a serious addiction to it. When it was gone, it was gone. When my internet connection goes down, I go find something else to do. Some people would call the cable company and start screaming because they can't read the news and shit. Some might call their friend and ask if they can borrow their AOL account or something. Addictive personality, or abnormal socialization?
Explain the guy who is addicted to sleep. I'm an insomniac, does that mean I am addicted to being awake?

There are other ways to fight the destructive effects of various addictions on society, such as information campaigns to eliminate smoking among youth.
I had a discussion with someone else in this thread about addiction, everyone is vulnerable to addiction, period. It's a matter of will-power. The only difference between me and the next guy is I'll call it an addiction he calls it a hobby, or something. You may be addicted to the internet by my standards. (I definately am) Some people claim they can use heroin in moderation, while by my standards if you've done heroin and you liked it, and you continue to do it you are an addict.
So to clarify what you're saying, I dropped the habit of looking at porn entirely, therefore my will-power is verifiably stronger than the guy who continues to look at it, even if in moderation, until he chooses to drop it completely his cannot be verified.

Dopamine is the end-all addiction. Opium or heroin addiction is much like a porn addiction. Everyone is a potential addict, what determines if one is capable of becoming an addict is mainly willpower, I think. Willpower is something you have to find deep inside yourself, sometimes people use tricks to get it, like you say, running. Run run run, don't stop, tired don't stop, willpower. Right?

Get this, I'm quoting this from another post I made in response to someone else who thinks pornography is all good and wholesome.
True story, believe me or don't.
When I was moving into my first house, I went through some local dumpsters looking for the cardboard only type for usable boxes to pack things in, I went behind some superstore and peeked over the edge of a dumpster and it was empty except for one box full of porno mags. Funny how I look in a dumpster and in the back of my mind I am expecting to find some porno mags. My curiousity got the best of me and I picked it up out of the dumpster. After looking through all the smutty mags I determined there was nothing I liked, all wierd fetish stuff like fat women. Underneath the porno mags was a bunch of mail, already opened, I looked through it and it was pretty much an entire persons life in a nutshell, forclosure notices, lawsuit notices, divorce proceedings, gigantic phone bill (900# calls) apparently billed to some company account. He probably got fired for it and ended up losing his house. It was as if I was reading this guys life story, and he came to the conclusion that he had to dump the porn and get his life on track. Maybe he was dumping all the shameful evidence before he killed himself, who knows. I decided right then and there that I would never seek out pornography again, and that was an awful, damned awful habit to kick, but now its a thing of the past, it exists in the same region as smoking, something in my brain that I find disgusting, the taste of cigarettes, the smell of a porno mag.
So in response to you parent, I warn you that you may feel it's all fine and dandy to mutually watch porno with your wife, but who's idea was it to start with? Yours I'd bet. How can you be sure it doesn't hurt her feelings to see you gawk at other women on the screen? Perhaps she's just bottling her true feelings. What if your wife is actually having the opposite reaction and she feels you are not good enough for her, and she wants to live out her own pool-boy scene? Oh sure you'd probably go for that, but where is the love in your marriage if you start fantasizing about other people? Just a warning to you. Me, I kicked the porno habit shortly after I got married because it was hurting the wife's feelings.

So if you honestly think there is nothing wrong with pornography, then just wait. Eventually it will become such a problem in society that you see ads on TV like you see anti-smoking ads. "Don't look at smut" says McGriff. So you call a society fucked up that tries its best to prevent kids from getting hooked on cigarettes. It's the same thing, in fact the sexual sensation deals with the same pathways in the brain. Kids will get hooked on pornography and that will be the end of them.
You don't take action to prevent a problem that you don't know exists. Besides, the simple response to this virtual problem is to plant more trees. Plant more trees and you fix the problem. Deforestation is by far the biggest environmental disaster we face today, look at what is going on in Haiti. We dont need a bunch of fuck nuts going berzerk over the kyoto protocol.
OK I'm a scientist and I'm telling you this has f### all to do with El Nino.
Hahaha, you're a scientist. Ok sure. El Nino has EVERYTHING to do with hurricanes, moron. Where the f### did you study?
La Niña is one of many factors that goes into the summer hurricane forecast. When and how rapidly La Niña fades in the Pacific, and then how quickly the next El Niño forms, could have an effect on the number and intensity of hurricanes in the Atlantic this year.
During an El Niño event, energy from warm water in the Pacific is transferred high into the atmosphere and funneled, in the form of strong winds, eastward, where it settles over hurricane-forming regions of the Atlantic, thousands of miles away. The settling of this air tends to choke hurricanes in their infancy.
La Niña, on the other hand, allows Atlantic hurricanes to develop their potential with less inhibition. For more information, go to the MAWS Hurricane Page and MAWS Hurricane News Page.
Intensity of the storms is normal. I'll pay attention when they come up with a new category 6 hurricane rating. Andrew was just as bad as this Katrina, but Katrina hit a more vulnerable area of the continent, slightly more vulnerable, the devastation was just as bad.
So you wasted all that space, repeating yourself, and then you contradict yourself? What the fuck is wrong with you man? Your brain is mush. You're a tentacle of the global warming political machine.
Like I said, build stronger houses, and ignore self-proclaimed "scientists" like yourself.
I'm talking about surface temperatures. The temperatures in yellowstone are higher than other parts because there is magma veins under the surface. If you thought little was known about the atmospheric systems of the earth, check out how little we know about volcanic activity.
these aren't going to suddenly start dumping warm water at the poles (which would reduce ice-pack density and lower the amount of light and heat reflected back into space).
I'm not talking about ice at the poles. Most of the atmospheric activity, hurricanes and all that is caused by ocean currents, as ocean temperatures rise each year it causes increased hurricane activity. We are at the peak of that cycle right now, so perhaps that could account for any higher temperature readings (combined with other cycles being at their peak, as in the sun spot cycle)
# Atmospheric cycles
such as?
Oh I don't know, I'm sure there are dozens of them. Natural CO2 fluxuations is probably the biggest one. This has so much to do with everything else we're talking about right now though, it's real hard to get a big picture of the entire system, that's the point I'm trying to make.
irrelevant because our climate record can be implied over 100,000 years through ice-cores and millions of years implied through sedimentary and fossil record data
Yes, and remarkably that data doesn't represent anything meaningful to the supposed global climate change experts, because the temperature, CO2 concentrations and just about everything else has naturally fluctuated all through history, even to the point of killing off most life on the planet.
# Human error
10s of thousands of scientists are clearly wrong if it means paying more the gas.
Oh if you think each of these 10,000 scientists scattered around the globe has done their own research think again. Many of them will point to evidence gathered by one man, Dr. Dobson, that the ozone hole at the south pole didn't exist 50 years ago. Read for yourself and take note of all the instances of data that was not and can never be independently verified by another person.
BINGO - why drive political interests through science when the public can be bought
Someone else pointed out that funding for research into the danger of CFC gasses was made by the same company who owned the Freon patent, toward the end of the patents life. After it was discovered and CFCs were banned across the globe, the same company came up with and patented a replacement HFC gas. I can't verify that though you could probably find out for certain. But my point being that the corrupt political interests exist on both sides of the isle, the left gets a lot of what they want, emissions have been reduced to a fraction of what they were decades ago, but it seems they always want more legislation. I think we have a good balance right now, the free market is working to find alternative sources of energy as we speak. Look for innovations coming in the next 10 years or so.
Oh, I didn't read the article, I am aware of the CO2 levels fluctuating in the past. If we're headed for another ice age so be it, humans survived the last one. Another reason to build a backyard bomb shelter:-D

Deforestation is by far the biggest environmental disaster we face today, look at what is going on in Haiti. We dont need a bunch of fuck nuts going berzerk over the kyoto protocol.
Hahaha, you're a scientist. Ok sure. El Nino has EVERYTHING to do with hurricanes, moron. Where the f### did you study?
Intensity of the storms is normal. I'll pay attention when they come up with a new category 6 hurricane rating. Andrew was just as bad as this Katrina, but Katrina hit a more vulnerable area of the continent, slightly more vulnerable, the devastation was just as bad.
So you wasted all that space, repeating yourself, and then you contradict yourself? What the fuck is wrong with you man? Your brain is mush. You're a tentacle of the global warming political machine.
Like I said, build stronger houses, and ignore self-proclaimed "scientists" like yourself.
these cycles are in the range of 10s of thousands of years, not a couple of hundred, irrelevant

about 1% of atmospheric carbon, irrelevant
I'm talking about surface temperatures. The temperatures in yellowstone are higher than other parts because there is magma veins under the surface. If you thought little was known about the atmospheric systems of the earth, check out how little we know about volcanic activity.
these aren't going to suddenly start dumping warm water at the poles (which would reduce ice-pack density and lower the amount of light and heat reflected back into space).
I'm not talking about ice at the poles. Most of the atmospheric activity, hurricanes and all that is caused by ocean currents, as ocean temperatures rise each year it causes increased hurricane activity. We are at the peak of that cycle right now, so perhaps that could account for any higher temperature readings (combined with other cycles being at their peak, as in the sun spot cycle)
# Atmospheric cycles
such as?
Oh I don't know, I'm sure there are dozens of them. Natural CO2 fluxuations is probably the biggest one. This has so much to do with everything else we're talking about right now though, it's real hard to get a big picture of the entire system, that's the point I'm trying to make.
irrelevant because our climate record can be implied over 100,000 years through ice-cores and millions of years implied through sedimentary and fossil record data
Yes, and remarkably that data doesn't represent anything meaningful to the supposed global climate change experts, because the temperature, CO2 concentrations and just about everything else has naturally fluctuated all through history, even to the point of killing off most life on the planet.
# Human error
10s of thousands of scientists are clearly wrong if it means paying more the gas.
Oh if you think each of these 10,000 scientists scattered around the globe has done their own research think again. Many of them will point to evidence gathered by one man, Dr. Dobson, that the ozone hole at the south pole didn't exist 50 years ago. Read for yourself and take note of all the instances of data that was not and can never be independently verified by another person.
BINGO - why drive political interests through science when the public can be bought
Someone else pointed out that funding for research into the danger of CFC gasses was made by the same company who owned the Freon patent, toward the end of the patents life. After it was discovered and CFCs were banned across the globe, the same company came up with and patented a replacement HFC gas. I can't verify that though you could probably find out for certain. But my point being that the corrupt political interests exist on both sides of the isle, the left gets a lot of what they want, emissions have been reduced to a fraction of what they were decades ago, but it seems they always want more legislation. I think we have a good balance right now, the free market is working to find alternative sources of energy as we speak. Look for innovations coming in the next 10 years or so.
Oh, I didn't read the article, I am aware of the CO2 levels fluctuating in the past. If we're headed for another ice age so be it, humans survived the last one. Another reason to build a backyard bomb shelter :-D
