For hundreds of millions of years, the earth has being going in and out of ice ages. At one point, maybe 300 million years ago there was an event called "Ice ball earth" in which the entire earth was covered by ice. There have been 100 theories to explain ice ages, but none have been proven to be correct.

Therefore, while I believe global warming should be studied and monitored, I fail to see how we can be certain that this warming is not part of the earth's natural cycle of going in and out of ice ages.

At present, the normal state of the earth is in an ice age. The dates very, but we generally we spend 100,000 years in an ice age and then pop out into a warming period of 10,000 to 20,000 years that we are in now.

I use the analogy of the mayfly that only lives one day above ground to breed. One may mayfly says to another: "The day is getting warmer and warmer. The end is near." After it is eaten by a toad, the toad says, "The earth heats and cools every 24 hrs."

haven't we had enough fun by now? i know our old habbits are hard to break, and how extremely funny it can be to watch all the sillyness around us...

But shouldn't we tell them the truth by now? Or at least set a date to tell them the truth? We can't do this forever, now can we? It wouldn't be fair...

Everytime that cute stud winks or smiles at me, I have to remind myself that he probably does that to every girl. How to stop noticing players and train my eye to see REAL men?

(1) Federer vs. (2) Nadal

Predict what you think the final score will be?

10 pts. to the person who guesses the correct winner and the # of sets they win in.

If necessary, the tiebreaker will be determined by who guesses closest to the score in the FINAL set.
If there's still a tie, then the above rule will apply to the second-last set, and will continue to move backwards until a winner is determind.

I have a cousin (by marriage) who is in her late 20's that used to be like a sister to me when I was 16. We stopped talking and hanging out with each other; we haven't really been close for almost 2.5 yrs. now. In 2004, she found out she had Bipolar disorder, and now that we see each other often again, she is acting funny towards me. I have given her the benefit of the doubt and blamed it on her disorder, but should I still try to talk it over with her and see if she's upset with me about something? Or just leave it alone?

I've felt this on the 12" Powerbook G4 and my 15" MacBook Pro. You can't feel the vibration until you start dragging your finger around the way you would on a track pad.

What do you think about men in their 20s dating and marrying women in their late 40s or 50s? Why do so many people disaprove of them having true feelings of love towards women of that age?

Some people are old-fashioned and they think that it is better to be married correctly as the church says, than to be living with someone you really love and have a family.... What is what really matters?

if you dont bother to do any of the things your religion asks you to? why do you bother beleiving in it? is it just something that you can get worked up about when you hear someone decrying your religion somewhere? do you treat your religion as a sort of club that you belong to?
