Hummmmm... Three questions, the answer to which may improve this discussion: 1) Are you a gardener? I don't mean you stuck a shrub in the ground two years ago, and that's about it.

Then, it seems odd that you are having difficulty understanding how one person's observations of a plant, in one location, can be so different from yours.

You know what that means, right?- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Ah, I am a gardener, more of an outdoorsman, but alas, not a schooled botanist so I guess my opinion is probably moot when it comes to PI or GW for that matter.

Then you could explain to me what level of education, experience, or general knowledge a person must have to have what you would consider a legitimate opinion on these subjects, or do they simply have to agree with you to qualify? ;) - High school biology, enough to understand the difference between two different "strains", and two genetically identical plants behaving differently for reasons related to growing conditions.

Although it would seem there is some basis in fact on this solar cycle thing. http://tinyurl.com/262px5 I've already read that article series, perhaps you have posted that link before? The simple truth is this - man does change and affect his environment. Has since the first time humanoids began to walk upright. However what is missing with the Global Warming contingent is a sense of history and, to tell the truth, basic knowledge of science. That's what you get when you elect lawyers who only took "Science for Liberal Arts" in college. I mean think about Nancy Pelosi who said after visiting Greeland "I have seen Global Warming". Has she never heard of the Vikings who discovered Tibet and colonized Mexico and established a trading colony in Greenland (around 960 CE)? And think about this - there are, as of now, six different solar cycles of varying lengths. Each of them affects the climate of the Earth differently - there is sound, scientific proof of these changes - some drastic, some minor. What I find interesting about this global warming thing, is how little we really understand the mechanisms of our climate. Clearly, it is a very, very, complex system, and I suspect much of what we are now hearing will not hold up in the coming years. I'm willing to let the scientists hash it out. Until the science is set, I'll continue to filter through my generally skeptical nature. However, you'll have to admit, there is far too much picking of the "science" needed to back ones' own preconceived notions. Do we need to do something about smog and green house gas? Yes. Of course, but just from personal observations, I think we have. That brown haze that was an almost daily occurrence in the 60's seems to be rare these days. I sure wouldn't mind the air being cleaner, but I do think it has improved. I know our waterways (NJ) are cleaner than they were. Is it the sole cause of climate change? Not even close. I tend to agree, but there is the question of how much curtailing greenhouse gases would ameliorate future changes. |

ups.com... Sounds like someone needs a time out. You have now covered the gambit of internet troll behavior. Starting with not reading my posts, through insults, off topic tangents, threats, and now foul language, sorry kid, I don't argue with spoiled little brats. I read every word of your posts, sometimes twice. Yes, but did you read it backwards too ? I am I Don Quixote, man of LaMancha. Hey, I just flew in from Holland and boy are my airfoils tired! Yuk, yuk. You are a load of laughs, but I am certain folks are getting tired of this so maybe I will tell a joke. Hummmmm, thinking. Ahhhhh, OK, here it is: Santa Clause, the Easter Bunny, Big Foot, and Global Warming walk into a bar....... From Dat Phan, very funny young Vietnamese-American comedian: Two Asians walk into a bar. Next day, they own it. |

A very old couple goes to their lawyer. The husband says "We want a divorce". The lawyer looks at them and asks "A divorce? How old are you two". Husband says "I'm 96, she's 94. We're married 75 years. The marriage has been terrible since day one." The lawyer asks "Why'd you wait so long to get divorced?" The wife says "We wanted to wait till the children were dead!" |

Last year, I was in Long Island for a business thing, and decided to stop at what had been my favorite bagel place when I lived in the area 20 years ago. No more old Jewish couple running it. Now, it's owned by a young Asian couple. I think the comedian's observations were somewhat accurate. His jokes about his mother's cooking exactly match what I've heard from a Vietnamese friend of my son's. You know those really dark hot peppers you find in Chinese food? The ones that are there for flavor, but you're not supposed to eat them? This kid's mother eats them. Nobody else in the family can get near them. The comedian says he asks his mother what's for dinner: "Fire!" OK, ma. How about dessert? "Lava!" |

The comedian says he asks his mother what's for dinner: "Fire!" OK, ma. How about dessert? "Lava!"- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - I eat them. The first time was with my Lao friends many years ago working in the furniture shop, they used to flip out. I would eat them late in the afternoon, better than caffine. Add a little sticky rice and burnt meat juice (wrapped in foil of course) and you are good to go. I have great memories of those days. Sitting in their circle, we all put our baskets in the middle and ate what we wanted. I was single back then and mimicked their eating and cooking habits, they welcomed me into their circle. I ate no more than a half pound of meat a week, all steamed vegies and sticky for lunch and rice, vegies and a couple of pieces of jerky with dinner, and went through about a gallon of dairy per week. It was the early 80's and it cost me about 25 dollars a week to eat, and I was in better shape than any of my friends, My friends got busted shooting pidgeons once so I knew what I was in for when I shared, so I just didn't ask. Daphet used to always say to me "you can not die till you eat dog", I used to laugh. One day as luck would have it I asked what the meat was in the stew. He would not tell me just joked that it was "people meat". Well anyway, at the end of the day at the clock he looked at me and said "hey whi guy", I turned and asked him what he wanted. He replied simply as he walked away, "whi guy can die now, have a ****ty day" His mother was a trained cook but lost everything including grandpa when they swam out of Laos. They used so much around them to cook, I an amazing stew once with a stock base of fresh water algae (the long green hair looking stuff that grows off rocks here in the NE), fresh water snails, and cow bone marrow. I turned them on to several local fruits like wild berries and sourgrass, they would come by in a van full and take all the blueberries out of the fields behind the shop. They really appreciated that stuff, once in a while my dad would come by the shop and brng a bag of oranges and corn on the cob or other F +V, (he worked in produce) you would have thought you gave them a million dollars. My kids still love sticky rice and fish sauce, shark brand only, and they love the stories of me and the "little brown guys". But anyway, this is much more fun than fighting, would you not agree? Got to go work on the pool and water the garden (oh ****, did I mention I keep gardens??) before it gets to hot. |
