I'm not convinced by EITHER side of the argument to be honest. There is too much money involved behind both camps to be able to trust any of them. You're anti, you get those sexy oil company dollars, and you're pro and you get to sip cocktails with Al Gore and be the cool kids being handed cash to defeat the evil oil companies.
Saw the argument on Metafilter that stuff like this is local and global warming is really happening... It's just isolated pockets...
Except it's not. 60+ cold weather records set in the US in recent months, including snow in Vegas. Canada had its first white Christmas across the entire country in almost 40 years.
And remember folks, the Romans grew GRAPES in England. If that happened now, they'd say "Look, global warming!". So what is the explanation for that hundreds of years before the industrial revolution?
And what bugs me more than anything is how people who question global warming (not deny it, but question it, like any sensible person should), the arguments from the people who agree with it are getting so rabid and desperate that they're comparing them to creationists.
Yes, because believing some fictional being created all this 5000 years ago is exactly like questioning the hype about global warming as we all sit and freeze our asses off across the northern hemisphere...
Melissa: It's not the "views". It's the fact that the parents are clearly morons who shouldn't have been allowed to breed in the first place.
"J" up above has it spot on. Calling your kid that is setting them up for a lifetime of abuse, at least until they reach the age they can change their name.
Sloane: Maybe it was a "domestic dispute" but I bet the whole cake story popped them up on their radar.
This is beyond tacky. That's sickening. Of course it's only a matter of time until people start gaming the system and adding ten friends just to dump them for a free Whopper.
I used to lug my complete works of Shakespeare to work and read it. (Gas station cashier.) Customers would come in, see this HUGE book and go "Why are you reading THAT?" As if I was a freak for enjoying the bard.
Given the issues my wife has from her birth mother giving her up right after she was born, as well as close friend of hers suffering the same issues, ANY surrogacy is reprehensible IMO. Nobody EVER stops to think of the child or the effect it might have on it being taken away from it's biological mother.

But seriously, what the hell are BK thinking?
Said more about them than me IMO.
Given the movies I've had wrecked by idiots, I like the thought of just popping someone who won't shut up.
But then I'm torn as firing a gun and the inevitable commotion that would cause is even more disturbing.
Should have just punched the guy.
I feel so sorry for the babies that have to go through this.
