Collapse of Society/Environment Pt. 2(merged)

The fact that they are confirmed atheists does not mean they have no intention of performing their duties. It just means they don't believe they'll ever have to. I'm sure that if they find the rapture happening, they'll do what they've committed to do.
You just need to have a little faith.

What about good christian peoples with pet ferrets?

Or, atheists with pet ferrets?

They're not offering a cookbook, are they? This group should be filed in the "Let the Buyer Beware" circular file.

Come on, this is supposed to be the lighter side...

No jokes???

[Keith_McClary]

Lots of lighter side here: deesillustration
More like black humour, but what can you expect.

Chile will fight energy inflation by 'EXTENDING SUMMER BY 3 WEEKS'.

http://www.zerohedge.com/article/chile- ... hree-weeks

Chile will delay the end of its summer time for three weeks as the country faces an energy squeeze because of drought and high demand, the government said Wednesday.

...

the Chairman is now forcing governments to rise up defiantly against the rotation of the earth around the sun.

What can one say but pure unadulterated brilliance

An American organization claiming to defend the rights of mermaids is threatening to appeal to the International Court of Justice in The Hague against the Israeli city of Kiryat Yam, after its municipality offered a $1 million prize to whoever could provide proof for the existence of a mermaid off the northern city's shores

Does drinking human breast milk make you a cannibal?

Meh. Back when wife was nursing, I once used some on a Saturday morning for my coffee since we were out of creamer & milk that morning. Didn't have to add sugar to it, either.

I dont think I would have necessarily done that in that situation..... but that is awesome

I don't mean to be personal, but did you take it directly from the tap?

She just aimed down at my cup of coffee and sprayed. Higher sugar content than cow's milk, too.

After a night pondering the collapse of civilization due to the methane bomb currently going off in the East Siberian Arctic Shelf, having read Cid yama's writings too much. And the sleepless night of nightmares which followed, I thought I needed some humor to restore my sence of priorities.

While I'm loosing sleep worrying if my kids will survive catastrophic climate change, here's what people are really thinking about:

Village head Ida Bagus Legawa told the Jakarta Globe that a villager, identified as Gusti Ngurah Dinar, caught Alit committing bestiality “when he was standing naked and holding the cow’s ass.” He was standing on a mud terrace between two rice paddy fields.

A shocked Dinar escorted Alit to the village office for questioning, where he stated that he believed the cow, owned by Wayan Yasa, was a young and beautiful girl.

“She was calling to me, making flattering comments, then I had sex with her,” Alit told local officials.

The punishment is equally as absurd. The cow will find herself drowned at sea (which is the ritual for the animal half of any sexing) in an effort to rid the village of “dirty behavior.” Alit will be cleansed in the ocean and fined 2,000 Balinese coins.

This is also not the first time a cow has been boned in Bali; in 2008, a 70-year-old old man was found having sex with a cow whom he said tempted him by claiming to be a virgin girl. Villagers drowned that cow out of fear the man had impregnated it.

It’s easy to mock other cultures, but any time your biggest concern in a situation where a 70-year-old had sex with a cow because he thought it was a virgin girl, whether if the cow is or isn’t pregnant, you might want to reprioritize!

We're doomed!

[Newfie]

Repent,

Cid might be right or he might be wrong, but as long as we keep going in the direction we are heading we are doomed.

The species has been Doomed since its first 2001 Space Odyssey moment. So now we talk about it more than we once did. Certainly it doesn't appear to be happening any more often than it used to.

The process of industrial civilization's collapse only happens once, not sure what your point is 'happening often'?

Collapse/Doom happen all the time.

Mayans, Romans, Easter Islanders, and so on and so forth. Certainly industrial civilization isn't anything special, just another one in a series.

Much of what you posted so far is stereotypical for a peak oil newbie. This particular comment is in the bargaining stage.
