Politicians usually don't commit many crimes, they just go for the really big ones.

Are you seriously telling me that the place where the dead body fell to the ground, isn't the crime scene?

YES! 1000 times Yes. If I murder someone in London and drop the dead body in New York, where do you think the crime scene is ?
(Hint: It's not New York.)

If it's clever and fuel efficient enough, people will buy it.

It's called innovation, and it happens. Just look at wingtips - those went into most commercial planes almost overnight (relatively speaking, of course) despite the dramatic costs to retrofit, yet it was worth it for the significant fuel savings such a simple design change provided.

You're obviously a German historian.

Seen on a brass plaque in Berlin "On this spot, between 1939 and 1945, nothing at all happened".

Bad guys like China? Aren't they a government of some sort in South America or Australia?

Have you ever been to England ??

Have you been to Howick or Pakuranga recently ?

But it is unequivocal that we are poisoning the earth. Pollution is destroying our food and water supply. It is giving our children asthma. It's wiping out some species and mutating others.

Whoa! Hold on there cowboy. Them's fighting words. You went from some almost rational points to complete incomprehensible babbling without stopping to pick up a shred of evidence on the way. You even managed to slip in a "think of the children" plea. Were you trying for extra credit from other AGW lemmings ?

In one breath you say "no one knows what will happen" and then, without pausing to stop and think, say "our current liefstyle is not sustainable". Well which one is it ? Either you know our current lifestyle is not sustainable or you don't know anything about our current lifestyle.

Maybe some remedial classes in critical thinking are in order.

OK, where do I sign up for the booze-n-hookers job ?

There, fixed that for you.

So you're suggesting that this cotton swab factory employs only one and only one woman who packs every cotton swab on the assembly line ??!!

If not, why didn't the test pick up DNA from every other employee packing cotton swabs ? What is special about this one individual that has allowed her to contaminate every single cotton swab to be produced ?

What sort of hoops did this person supposedly go through to Google a site which charges for OpenOffice.org ??

Going to www.google.de and searching for "openoffice" goes straight to the official de.openoffice.org web-site. Similarly for 4 of the first 5 results are OpenOffice.org sites and the top 10 results all appear to be legitimate.

I wager it would be very difficult even for a n00b to get to a scam site accidentally therefore I call this story BS.

With an attitude like this, it's amazing to me that your ancestors ever decided to crawl out of the primordial slime.
