The trouble with you smug, progressive fascists is that you can easily change your behavior to fit your conviction dejour but, you don't. Instead you spend all this time and energy trying to get others to force me to change my behavior.2001400ex said:
So let's just do nothing then.HoustonHusky said:There is so much wrong with the assumptions not sure where to start. Let's apply the same logic and Bruce Willis it. The planet has actually been hit by an asteroid before and destroyed most life on it...there is precedent for it.
If the threat is fake and we do nothing, we are fine.
If the threat is fake and we do something, we waste some money.
If the threat is real and we do nothing, humanity is in serious trouble.
If the threat is real and we do something, we give ourselves a chance.
Regardless of your beliefs it seems like trying to fix something is the preferable outcome. So we should be sinking a ton of money into spaceship, telescopes, space stations, etc.
You can make that logic game theory and always come out with the answer that you should spend a ton of money fixing any and every problem somebody might maybe be worried about just in case...the only problem is, nobody has a ton of money sitting around. -
Thanks Tom.AZDuck said:My Grandfather smoked his whole life. I was about 10 years old when my mother said to him, 'If you ever want to see your grandchildren graduate, you have to stop immediately.'. Tears welled up in his eyes when he realized what exactly was at stake. He gave it up immediately. Three years later he died of lung cancer. It was really sad and destroyed me. My mother said to me- 'Don't ever smoke. Please don't put your family through what your Grandfather put us through." I agreed. At 28, I have never touched a cigarette. I must say, I feel a very slight sense of regret for never having done it, because this fucking thread gave me cancer anyway.
And @dflea, you should read this.
It's a cautionary tale of how quitters never win. -
I don't have any desire to see any fucking grandkids. I quit to save money on insurance. And because I'm not a pussy that needs a chew or cigarette.salemcoog said:

I'd tell you to give it a try but I already know you're a huge pussy that can't get by without your smokes. -
I'm outside a bar, smoking a couple months ago. An LA liberal, save the world type was passing out flyers for an Environmental Protest.
He asked me what I was doing on Saturday. I said I had no plans. He asked if I was interested in coming to the march to learn more. I said no. He said I was kind of an asshole. I shrugged. Cool story. -
