An evolutionary dead-end, he is saying.
that’s such a negligable amount. even if the population was huge enough to make a noticable amount of difference, we’d starve as was mentioned earlier because the world could not support us.

We’re at a peak right now, and we’re still accelerating.
Also, fun short-term effects of pollution:

And proof that we contribute?

27.24 billion tons of gas a year is a lot, any way you look at it.
PS Yes, evolution for humans is all but over.
only since there is currently no natural selection
fix that, evolution continues
(population would drop too)
thanks to the magic of civilization natural selection doesn’t affect us humans, so we are done evolving now and forever
sarcasm, i detect?
no civilization really is stopping natural selection, we give everyone a chance to succeed and procreate…even retarded thickos like my brother
Medicine basically ended natural selection. We’ve still got just enough social selection to keep genetic diseases from becoming rampant, but we’re not going to really improve much from now on.
EDIT: I should specify, we’re not going to improve much through natural selection. Genetic engineering is the future bitches! H+ 4eva.
well yeah, but as long as money is just being shoved into the black void that is war debt there isn’t going to be much genetic enhancement going on
…
why do you have to repeat what i said?
Cause it’s so darned true?
works for me =]
also i missed the genetic engineering thing
so
AGREED
Everyone will become hippies and have sex with everything that moves.
THAT’s the future. Sex, wierd music and drugs.
I could live with a future like that
It would get boring, IMO.
I’m with the “Evolution=Not occurring in humans any more” people. As Tim said, we eliminated it with the onset of modern medicine. Civilization itself also played a part in it.
Global warming is real. Trying to deny it is like trying to deny that you breathe air. You may be able to deny it, but it’s still going on, whether you accept it or not.
I missed the end of the abortion argument, just one little nitpick I have to say.
Are you a woman? Have you ever been through labor? Somehow, I doubt it (Note: I am a man, but I was there when my sister was born. Not pleasant memories). In order to adopt a baby, of course, the woman putting said baby up for adoption has to go through labor, not only a potentially life killing process for the baby as well as the mother, but an excruciating process by any standard that men can’t even fathom. Not to mention that recovery from labor is never a full recovery. Nearly every woman has some form of physical mark (stretch marks, anyone?) that tells you she’s had a child.
My point is that abortion is a better solution than dumping that baby into an adoption agency. Not to mention that not everyone wants to adopt a baby. The baby would more than likely end up stuck in the adoption agency for a good portion of its childhood.
So yeah, that’s my little nitpick at the whole abortion thing.
Essentially, I agree with Tim on, like, everything.
's how I does.
as TIM said?!
<__________<
just cus he said it after you doesn’t mean he didn’t say it
also you fail at quoting!
Sorry, CMC. I was sorta using a direct quote there, though.
As CMC and Tim said, we eliminated evolution with the onset of modern medicine.
Yay for proper credit!
