Kinda startling to think about. Unless you dont believe in climate change. Or evolution.

At least some people don't hide behind aliases when they speak their mind.

But yeah, that's crazy about the birds.

Please tell me your kidding.. That wasnt an alias, it was another account because he banned my main account (for satirically saying how smart he was.)  I guess you have to agree with Rowan with the fact that smaller birds is the end of the world, and if you dont discuss nor care about the topic then you only a step above senile, and should be banned.

This will probably get banned too, rowans a little pissy tonight.

QUOTE:Now because of pollution, and overfishing, they are extremely rare. You'd be lucky to see one after 50 dives (years for some people).

I believe that is what i was referring to!

So I aint wrong on shit. And fuck google, they aint the wise one. im not arguing science just involving myself in a conversation. In like to point out inconsistencies in peoples arguments.

p.s Your wrong or prove me right!

Despite, this is for you because I know you're checking this thread.

I'm not unbanning you. I'm done dealing with your flaming and 'snide remarks'. You were originally banned for the night. For each amazing spam email you sign my business email account up for, I'm pushing that ban further. Right now you're at a week. Next is month. After that its a permaban.

Seriously dude, you are over the fucking line. Insulting me and being a whiney bitch on NS is one thing, fucking with my job is another.

on NS, intelligent conversation seems similar to a lost set of car keys. If you set out looking for it, its hard to find. Your best bet is to stop looking and it will just fall into your lap eventually.

China just passed the US for the worst polluting nation, so don't say that they are a lot worse than you.

My Rooster (O.D.B) kept me up last night. I wish he was getting smaller. But his voice keeps changing, hes getting more throaty, I think hes going through puberty. But once we get meat birds it will all be worth it.

Well, it is a fact that animals become smaller when there is a warmer temperature. For example the reindeers(or elks?) in Alaska are a lot bigger than the ones in Norway. That's because it's easier to hold on the temperature when you're bigger (not because big=more fat).

So, warmer temperature/climate = smaller animals. BUT, smaller animals does not mean that they have a worse life.


Now we do know for a fact that the earth is becoming warmer, but we do not know if it is because of CO2, China, weed, the US or maybe just mother earth herself.

false. i just talked to a guy whose been taking measurements for birds for a long time, and the methods they use to collect data are the same as they were 50 years ago.

what you were thinking was the first thing i though too.

and an argument i heard recently
if we come from nature, is what we do natural? and if so, why do we worry about it's impact?

this is some philosophical stuff right hurr.

yes, it can be considered natural, but that doesn't mean it won't destroy our, and other creature's, species. although this has been naturally happening since the beginning of life, most humans do not want their race to be destroyed. therefore, we do worry about our impact. i personally think humans are special, extremely intelligent, creatures (some of us anyway). i think it would be irresponsible for us, the smartest creatures, to let ourselves commit mass suicide.

its when your pokemon evolve to the next level of awesomeness, at level 16 and 36 generally.
ex:
charmander-> charmeleon-> charizard (fire type)

or

squirtle-> wartortle-> blastoise (water type)

hope that answers your question!!
