If you need to B*tch about something... this is the place — Page 93

Most of yous feckers. Arguing and sniping and contradicting one another! I come here to read fun things about entertainment but every other feckin post is a "correction", a "witty" retort or some Sheldon wannabe instructing those beneath Him in all the ways their knowledge or appreciation of something is wrong. Feck off, yous are on my ignore list until somebody says something nice. and would it kill any of you to actually agree with another person once in a while?! Reading YouTube comments is actually looking like a preferable option, and that's a feckin fate worse than death!

Touché! A display of real wit from a real Brit that means I'm no longer ignoring your posts Ryan. Which I'm sure will thrill you no end. I'm still dark on most of the rest of you though. Feckin whingers.

I hate weighing 300 pounds but I hate what I have to do in order to lose weight even more.  Why do our bodies even put on fat? That is a huge design flaw! I want my money back because this body is stupid and it smells funny!!!

 Now just picture that guy with a gut that sticks out to mexico and you have me any given day.

How about climate change/ global warming? It will drive humanity to extinction decades from now (along with countless plant and animal species), and yet we will do nothing about it, or even deny it's existence. It sucks that our species has to end like this, and I feel cheated that I won't have a long and healthy life due to the enviornment being now unsuitable for life. The reports coming in are just getting worse and worse; what scientists are predicting 100 years from now could happen on a much more amplified scale 20 years from now! I blame the politicians for wiping out humanity like this, with their ties to big oil and climate change deniers. I'm pissed off that we're going extinct this way.

I guess you don't believe in global warming then. Even if the Eastern seaboard was underwater, global warming would still be considered a hoax by half the country. This is why the human species' number is up.

I'm with you generalfrievous, but the upshot of the denial/ignorance of that portion of the populous is that they will likely be the ones to perish first, leaving a bit more space for those with common sense like you to hopefully solve the problem or survive in the changing environment.

Warbler, I actually had a bit of respect for you and I deliberately left you off my ignore list. I'm speaking my opinion about what I'm seeing here on this fantastic site and the best response you give me is *sigh*? Get feckin sententious or get the feck out brother. Don't make me ignore somebody I used to think highly of.

 Nah, if it happened to the middle of the country or the west coast, maybe.  But hurray for East Coast Bias!

If global warming really is going to kill everyone then why are you using a computer?  Using electricity helps create greenhouse gasses(Heck pretty much everything modern humans do creates greenhouse gasses)so why are you using it to post on a message board?  Aren't you just as guilty as anyone of adding to the problem? If we really are on a two decade ticking clock that is going to kill everyone why aren't you doing everything in your power to avoid these problems like unplugging your computer and no longer driving a car? Shouldn't you do everything in your power to avoid this before you complain about other people not doing the same?

Why do you get a free pass to create all the greenhouse gasses you want but everyone else on the face of planet earth is a monster?

 Global Warming? possible.  Do I believe that humanity will be extinct in 20 or 100 years? no.

It will still be the most important event in human history, and it will be infuriating that nothing was done sooner to stop the destruction of the environment, thanks to politicians and corporations. I didn't deserve to be born into the last years of humanity.

It takes a real ego to think that you have all the answers to the extent that you can be 100% sure of what is going to happen decades from now. It take an even bigger ego to think that you can bring about the end of the world or that if your words are not heeded it will be the end of the world.  In my and my parent's life time alone there have been at least three end of the world scares and none of them came to pass.

Of course it take the biggest ego of all to call out other people for not doing enough while you refuse to do what little you can.  I think you need to stop looking at the specks in other people's eyes and pay attention to the giant plank in your own.

Imagine your car has fallen off a cliff, and have no hope of saving yourself, therefore facing imminent death. You have no choice but to mope about your fate. This is what has happened with mankind and global warming; even if we start doing the most drastic actions to alter course, our race has been checkmated. Excuse me for sulking over something that I can no longer change.

Or just let yourself and the people around you enjoy what time they have left.  if everyone is doomed and there is nothing that can be done to change that fact then why complain and preach at people,what good will it do?  If as you say it can't be changed so your changing would be pointless then just enjoy the here and now.

Still given that global warming is a contested subject(And anyone who tells you everyone in any field of science agrees on anything and that everyone who doesn't conform is a tool has no idea what they are talking about or how real science works)and what we have been through in the past I think it will take a lot more then that to wipe out us or the planet.  Even if these are our last day and there is nothing we can do to change that then why go around pointing fingers instead of enjoying life?

Still I would rather look on the bright side of life.

It would be a shame that we would never get to explore the universe and make contact with other intelligent life forms and colonize other planets. I'm pissed off that we are going to end so soon, and in this way.

generalfrevious is the King Mope.  There's no point in trying to talk him out of it.

You know, I only mope because of outside factors. It's not my fault the world is messed up ten ways to kingdom come. How would any of you feel if your life and future was taken from you in front of your eyes? Forgive me for acting like an Emo.

Shit, dude, my daughter died seven years ago.  Her future was taken from me right in front of my eyes.  It was fucking terrible, and still is, but I got/get through it.

When the uncontrollable happens, we are not defined by what happens to us, but how we choose to react to it.

 You do know that some of these global warming people predicted that by the December of the futurist year 2013 the area I live in would be several feet under water and we have not reduced carbon emissions to the degree they said we needed to in order to avoid that right?  My yard is bone dry and looks to remain that way,I would say these people are not perfect and things are not as bad as some would lead you to believe.

Just two weeks ago the doctors gave my dad no hope and called the family in to say good bye to him,but today he is home recovering and hoping to head back to work next week and the doctors can't explain how he got better.  Predicting the future is a very risky business and things never turn out as bad as the doomsday people think they will.  Remember that less then a decade after Jews were being sent into death camps by the millions they had their own country to live in,something they had been trying to get back for nearly 2000 years and yes that came with new problems but everything does in this fallen world of ours.  Everyone is born and everyone dies,the bit in between is call life. You want the world to become a better place?  Then focus on how you are going to live your life instead of how you think you are going to die.

Remember even the word hopeless has hope in it.
