Hmmm.... Apparently Kool-Aid, Swiss Rolls, Oatmeal Pies or some form of junkfood are a bare necessity / staple of the Atlanta diet, as they appear in just about every picture....

 

Maybe that's all that was left in the stores? I know every time they utter the word Hurricane down here, all the milk, bread and batteries disappear overnight.

 

The concerning thing to me about this debate is how science is often disregarded. The overwhelming majority of scientists around the world, who are experts in this field, and have no political motive, agree that climate change is a real phenomenon and is most likely due to man-made pollutions. And it's a dangerous precedence, as an evolved society, to begin disregarding science.

Yes, I know that you can find a few scientists who state that climate change is not real, just like there were doctors and scientist in the 60's who stated that smoking cigarettes doesn't cause cancer. And there are a few "scientists" who don't subscribe to known facts such as evolution, dinosaurs, theoretical physics, etc...

The reason this debate becomes political is because religious prejudices are often underlying in peoples thoughts. I think conservatives on the right don't believe that it's possible for man to actually cause changes to weather patterns in the world.

 

I think that's a bit of a stretch there Ed. The contrast to that perspective is that democrats on the left believe that man "only" is to blame for changes in the weather patterns.

As with all things, I expect the truth lies somewhere in the middle from a much more moderate perspective. The far radical opinions from either side inhibit mature, respective, logical discussion of the subject.

 

We all know that there is proof dinosaurs never existed.

 

My deepest sympathies.

 

WRT climate change: I do my part to consolidate trips with the wife, don't drive when I don't need to (saves money too)... but otherwise, I really don't care. I will be dead in 50 years, so I don't GAS. There. I said it. Nuke all the unborn baby whales too while we're at it, and Bald Eagle tastes like chicken but if you use a nice wine sauce, it takes the gamey part away. Nothing we do here will have the tiniest effect compared to what the Chinese are doing to counter us. Period.

What I find interesting is that neither of these two stories have gotten any traction on these boards.

This one: or this one

 

I can't believe that anyone let this go by for close to 12 hours.

What did you eat to get the sharts?

 

Have you guys ever heard of the Cincinnati Creation Museum?

 

Anybody else read that nonsense about backpacks?

I thought backpacks were banned in the FOM.
