I thought * would be the blame for the world's ills.

[purji]

1. I thouht it was smokers?n/t

[Ellen Forradalom]

5. No, it's mothers

[nadinbrzezinski]

2. Sorry to say it, exaggerate much? The Lancet made a good point

and yes, we do have a crisis in our hands... not that many folks are getting it... and yes I am technically fat... so what?

On the bright side... if that one is one... once the age of oil passes obese people will be the least of our social problems.

Can you say black death death rates across the world? Those are the cheerful ones.

3. When the next famine comes, they'll be the ones who survive. NT

[Psephos]

4. Why stop there? Kill everyone and oil use will plummet and there will be no food shortages.

This is the kind of talk that went on in Nazi Germany in the 30s.

If only the whole world was full of genetically excellent, physically robust, nonsmoking, nonobese, nondrinking, hard-working, emotionally balanced young people, then all our problems would be solved forever and ever, amen.

[pleah]

6. Well, I guess I would be one of the first to go!

I smoke, drink, cuss, am a little over weight, and I'm a mother!
