Waaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit, wait, wait, wait. So are you saying Al Gore is blowing global warming out of proportion? So that must mean he's only doing this because he wants attention?!?!

Say it ain't so! I mean, hell, why would the man who created the internet need attention?

It's this simple:
God doesn't exist.

And, chemical interactions in the atmosphere cause global weather to change one way or the other.

There's a theory out there that says the global warming scenario is because of the natural course of the Earth's weather history. It's warmed up for some reasons, and cooled for some reasons.

But, an undeniable fact is that CO2 = bad.

High levels of it are worse, and China's failure to pay attention to well, the rest of the planet on industrial pollution standards + weather patterns = everyone is screwed.

Green=good.

On an unrelated topic...did anyone hear about the radio host that said that muslims should wear special armbands to identify themselves and crescent moons on their drivers licence, passports and other documents. Then people actually called in and agreed with him. Some disagreed with him though.
But some major ownage came later. He said it was a hoax and went down onto the people that called and agreed with him. He called the idea disgusting and the people should be ashamed at themsleves for agreeing with him.

i think thats a pretty hilarious idea. but i have quite a bit of hostility towards immigrants due to the fact that white people who were born in this country are now treated like second rate citizens and the immigrants think we owe them something and are extremely ignorant and disrespectful. flame me all you like for saying that but i have very valid arguments to back this up.

very very very true, and its the same here... they come over, dont work, get free food, places to live, healthcare etc, they get more than us, yet they contribute noting to us, and, yes they do treat us like sh*t... all of the asians think they are hard as nails but get smashed all the time...

They don't work? Every newspaper shop has Asian workers behind the counter. They work ridiculous hours into the morning for minimum pay. And treat us like shít? I've never once had trouble from them, not once. Some of them are the most polite and sincere human beings I've ever met. I worked as a waiter for a year in a busy restaurant and the three Asian chefs that I worked with made my life easier. In a high stress kitchen, they could have been díckheads like the white chef but they were the complete opposite. If I ever see them around these days, they're never too busy to see how I am and how I'm getting on.

The whole arguement of them taking our jobs is pathetic too. They have your jobs because your too lazy or thick to get them yourselves. Fine, I've heard stories about them but my opinions are based on my personal experience, which is the way it should be. My experience with them have been good ones.

i have occaisionally met immigrants (mostly arabs and blacks) who are nice because they act like normal people and they are have no problem with white people, they treat everyone the same. but most of whom i have met, have had nothing to say but slander of white people. after they have come to our country as immigrants or refugees. i treat them like i would treat any other person i really dont care. but they treat white people who obviously did not come to this country to escape oppression like they are second class citizens in their own country. im not going to respect anybody who tries to pull that with me.

A million percent agree with you there, mate. Every Asian person I have met has been kind, polite, and courteous. They don't have the same attitude as some white d*ckheads around here, and they think of other people aswell.

One of my closest friends is black. He looks out for me, and I look out for him.

Well said, I agree with everything in there.

I'm sorry (well I'm not really) but that is some of the most biggest bunch of balls I have ever heard in my life.

They treat us like sh*t? Dude, the only reason they came to this country was because they were discriminated so badly in their own country that they had to get away from it. Some could have been raped, abused, discriminated by their own families. I bet stuff like that will never happen to you, so you've got no right to say anything.

OK, so they don't work? Oh God, give me strength! Like Chookes said, they keep our streets clean from litter, they keep our corner shops running. They're basically the backbone of our working class.

They don't get free food. Neither do us. They don't get free places to live. I've got no idea where you're getting these crappy ''facts'' from because to be honest, they're bullsh*t.

And ''they contribute nothing''. Read the paragraph above and you'll see that they do everything that we don't. You need to see two sides of the coin in this matter. I would bet my house that you have never met a black person in your life.

And act hard as nails? Pah, don't be so ridiculous. It's the chavs of Britain that act hard as nails, and, quite frankly, are a bunch of d*ckheads.

Dude, you've really got to think before you speak. You come up here spurting rubbish, being totally racist and sexist and you think people will believe you?

Jesus, give me a break.

I have to agree on both counts!!

And there sure has been a lot of off-topic tripe posted in here after the original post!!!
People that are so heavy into "global warming" and believe that somehow our actions over the past 50-100 years "caused" it are plainly very short-hind-sighted fools.
There are places in the US that have been, at different times, under sea or under a glacier. Or neither. And that was NOT in the past 100 years and cannont be blamed on cars, power plants, Ghalos farting, pizzerias, etc.

lol, what a quote.

Your all getting very philosophical in here, your all becoming representitive realists, which basically states you dont take everything as it comes. You break everything down and see it for what it really is.

The thing is, your talking about things on here, conforming to rules, and such.....who says we have to ? Yes, the government bla bla bla, but if we do not want to live and abide by them, we don't have to, it just makes your lives **** loads harder.

Immigrants. touchy subject. Persoanlly, don;t really have a problem, except to many come into britain. The thing i depsise the most is the few extremists who try and force their religions upon us. There is a story in the paper today talking about how they are trying to ban christmas. They are going to re name it winterval. No decorations in offices because of ethnic minorities. Frankly, it is ridiulous, especially when Religion is based on faith, one of the most rediculous ideas known to man.

The big issue..is that..over thousands and thousands of years...the earth raises 3-7 degrees...then cools 3-7 degrees..

with that minor change...the world has "died" and "froze" time and time again....that's over hundreds of thousands of years...

We managed to have a 2-3 degree change in a matter of less than 1000 years..

i was sitting in science today being told about global warming and how drastically it is affecting the british climes and how hot it is getting. whilst this was going on it was raining out side and has been for days.
alas....
alot of people are worrying about the sea rising 8 feet with the melting of the polar ice caps when as a matter of fact it will go down 8 feet aswell.
this is due to heat evaparation and such.
0+8-8=0
