When a weighted average of all other gasses with a green house effect with the percentage of that gas that's put in the atmosphere by humans is turns out only 0.38% of the green house effect is caused by humans. If there is a warming trend it's for all practical purposes natural and there's nothing we can do about it.

The end

hmmm, well is it not green house gasses that is the difference between the temperature being absolute zero and what it is across the world. so .38% of that being manmade sounds fairly significant imo...

first of all, when a population is larger then the enviroment can support, you dont see extinction of the population, you just see a sharp drop off. the idea that humans are going to become extinct because of the large population is unlikely.

2nd, i never said that technology will fix the problem with overpopulation, but that it can. you're the man with some kind of fucked up faith. not faith that we will succeed, but faith that we will fail...  where is your crystal ball? with the insane rate technology has been increasing the last 50 odd years im amazed at your confidence that technology cant get far enough soon enough....

Fokker used to want to be a girl? that explains alot!

yeah, i state the obvious, because the obvious is where you fail....

"The only alternative to Obama was McCain, in which case he would have been cast the 'New Bush' or
Bush 2.0!"

first of all, McCain wasnt the only option, there was a large array of democrats and republicans that ran for president; with the media's assistance, any of them could of probably become president... also, McCain did not have to be cast as Bush 2.0; it was your media's decision to do so and it was your media's gamble of the security of the world to do so... I would say the person most responsible for Obama becoming president is probably Bush. because Bush created such a hostility towards his party by the moderates that enabled such a liberal to win. so if anyone deserves the nobel prize for the change in direction, its Bush

"*Obama has actually IMPLICITLY contributed in some way to the global peace efforts*"

in what way? he doesnt have the power to silence and or shape the media. the media alone is responsible for image they portray of him to populations...

"I'm not the average person. "

no one is the average person... my posts were not directed to the average person...

"
No, the media generally masks the feelings of another countries population. Which is probably
why you never realised the growing resentment towards the Bush administration and U.S.
government."

hmmm, i remember since before the election where Bush won against Gore, the media emphisizing the unpopularity of Bush in other countries. and i remember that message being repeated several times in the media. i also remember in the media many reports of the Bush administration and the US government's popularity throughout the world plummeting.  there were several studies showing the outlook towards the US being at historic lows... so, no, that was never masked to americans... just keep talking out your ass though, its amusing...

Actually read my post and you'll realise i covered the fact that:

A) Bush/McCain don't have to be puppets. Its all about public image.
B) Obama didn't have to explicitly do anything. Its all about public image.
C) I don't need to know Bush/McCain. Its all about public image.

Now i know you might not be able to comprehend that -- having a double digit IQ and
all -- but at the very least please try not to dribble on the keyboard!

/facepalm

your argument is that Obama does not need to explicity do anything to deserve a nobel prize...

public image is the product of the media. if anyone deserves a nobel prize for obama's image, it should be them. but then again, the nobel prize has lost its meaning and is just become another tool of the media, but giving it to themselves would just be masturbation. and people that change their respect for the US as a country because the media has made the image of their president more favorable, are just puppets of the media; and i have no respect for them. now whats so idiotic about that?

lmao.... we're the stupid ones? thats rich. you provide no support for your arguments other then flaming. Bush wouldnt of been president right now if Obama never existed. Obama has no credit for Bush not being president. maybe Bush would still be president if the american people supported it, but his approval rating was low and they wouldnt of supported it. if Obama hadnt won either Clinton of McCain would be president.  not only do you think you know someone that you dont and know that he wouldnt of done a better job gaining national support then Obama has, you claim to know the future and what methods will reduce the chances of another attack against the US on US soil in the longterm...

i am at the very least of gifted intelligence. you calling me stupid is really only discrediting yourself. your intolerance and insistence that people sharing different views then your own, only makes you look like a close-minded fool.

i have no respect for the people in the world that respect the US more now that Obama is president...

i agree with yell, that if he didnt accept the reward, it would of degraded it no more then it has already been degraded by his winning the reward.... and if it degraded it more, maybe it deserves to be degraded more considering the circumstances...

hell, if he didnt accept the reward, my respect for him would of increased dramatically.

i find it hard to believe that God created everything, he is just part of a religion that was made up, like many other religions out there that were made up, many have their own gods, maybe they created everything, i think not.

many of the greatest minds in history were religious people; while you may not beleive in a god, dont delude yourself into believing that the reason you dont beleive in a god is a result of your intelligence, IQ, education, or ability to think for yourself...

i think the earliest the US and N Korea can face each other is the semi-finals... that would be damn impressive for both.... significantly more so for N Korea. well, not that impressive for US, after progressing through their group they would just need to beat Ghana or Germany and then Argentina or France.... probably...
