Off, The outcome might be lives lost due to a collision, or attempted rescue after collision, all because these chumps ignored common sense (not to mention rules of the sea). I've spent enough time on the water and at the helm to know it's a lot more of a physical risk than it might look in a photo.

quote: The harm Greenpeace offers is financial and public relations, not physical. Hey Off, Now you know better. You have enough life experience to know how provocative those boats might seem if they were crossing your bow. That's physical jousting, man.

Will the population control measure be imposed on each country equally, from a random population sample? Who will be deciding all this? You? Dr. Flash, The beauty of my plan is that it is simple, involves positive incentives to the nations in question, and leaves them to the details of getting it done. Kind of like empowering states to do their own governing.

Beaver Joe. Lessee, is that a vocation, or an avocation?

Iain, I have just completed a rapid but thorough study of the effect of termite flatus on global temperature. The detail of the reading is dry and in many languages, over the heads of most of the environmentalists here. But suffice it to say we got a big problem, boys and girls! We're going to need worldwide cooperation and an assload of DDT to fix this one fast.

Iain, here is an example of a nation struggling to cap its gaseous sheep emmissions... [ 10-23-2002, 10:43 AM: Message edited by: RobBob ]

Dr. Flashdance, this problem will come about mainly because we will have 385 million people in the US within 40 years or so. Perhaps you should reconsider my idea, which you so rudely dismissed weeks ago, for worldwide population control.

I think what pisses most of us off about the environmentalists is that they seek to control others' behavior without doing shit themselves. Authority requires the willingness to take on the associated responsibilities.

And so you are...

Hey Trask, you edited your pic out. Chicken.

Nice try, Good Dr., but I cannot be recruited. Trask, kiss it.

Thanks fern!

Duh, how do you work this Commodore 64? Pardon my pc...someday maybe I'll learn to edit these things.

Error messages... MattP, responding to your troll, I'll take the heat sinks, and the rest of you guys can cuddle.

Weird...I posted a reply, saw my name as the most recent poster, but no post. Okay, responding predictably to MattP's troll, give me the heat-sinks, and you guys can cuddle all you want!
