    I agree with Farmboy. If Bush goes to the ceremony then he's got his priorities wrong.

    Of course the cost of "labor" brought the mouse up to 10 million. haha. Also, talk about the worst photograph ever, her skin looks so yellow I wouldn't doubt that she was made of solid gold as well.

    Yes she is very pale. Why is it that most of the J-gals that are models as shown on JT are always on the lighter side of skin tones? I see most of they guys they are with are very dark, but the women are always light.

    I can see why many people would say "its not for me" but I don't see why someone would say it is "dishonorable" to commit suicide. I'm sure we'd all agree that if the person had enough self restraint to stop their bad behavior and then reform and help do good deeds with the time they have left in their life then that would be even better than suicide. I also feel it could be possible to think that based on your own temptations and past behavior that you know that you could never do these nice things, and that in a single moment of clear thought and sobriety you decide to force yourself to stop doing evil things the only way you can.

    I personally couldn't ever commit suicide, but I do feel it is honorable. Taking my own life is one thing, but I feel this same "self sacrificing honor" in other aspects of life. Admitting to your transgressions or faults and doing all you can to stop them feels great, and if you can better others by your own death, then why not?

    At worst I see McCain at the end of his term looking like Pope John Paul II in the Oval Office. I can see him vetoing bills all hunched over and practically disabled. At best I see a senior citizen that is already older than 90% of the population and just a grouchy old man that has lost touch with the views and lifestyle of the average American.

    Jerseyboy... I don't believe that anyone really thinks their life through that much, and thank you for the compliment, but most of society doesn't work towards a well defined "end" so to speak. I think that when people go childless on purpose, its in exchange for "control, freedom, and independence". No late nights bottle feeding, no soccer practice on Saturdays, no constraints hampering job-growth potential etc. A less than rosey childhood is a leading factor in not wanting to have children and I think that most people would agree that having no kids is better than raising bad ones.

    This all assumes that there is an "inherent good" in having children (which is a very 1950s Western religious notion as MichaelJP points out). I want to have children in the future, but will gladly take the back seat and be the "stay at home dad" if my wife can make more money than me. If one person HAS to play the roll of money-maker and the other of home-maker than whomever makes the most money should keep their job and the other take care of the kid.

    I think a lot of personal responsibility needs to be taken on the part of individuals if they want to raise children, and this obviously isn't happening.

    Another solution is just hand out lots of monetary incentives to families so their quality of living doesn't decrease in an expensive society when they have children. Cost is almost 100% of the determinant of voluntary childbirth which is evident in the disparity in the birthrates of developing and modern countries. If you have nothing to spend money on except food like in a developing country, you might as well have more kids. However if you want your children to be successful in a modern society it takes a lot of time and money. So even if you are a good parent and want more kids you feel obligated to not have more than you can "take proper care of" i.e. afford.

    Good point Everton2.

    Its the job of governments to keep the peace in international politics, not the individual oppinionated citizens, so in this light the governments should let the players play. To China's credit, their own security details sent to most foreign countries to assist in protecting the torch have not gone overboard on any of the protesters as far as I know. I wish I could say the same for the Chinese squads in Tibet. If people want to loudly protest China's treatment of human rights then they should do so anytime and anyplace they want. Most countries that had the torch travel through them have a "right" to protest which is more than we can say for a lot of other people around the world.

    Rainrain I think you miss the point. The Tibetans are culturally and linguistically different than their Eastern Chinese counterparts, so if they want independence then you should support them. Besides, its China's obligation as an imperialistic power to develop its holdings as much as possible, so no act of "benevolence" is truly unselfish. You ask "how grateful is that?" with regards to Tibet's requests, and I would say that its very grateful considering that Tibet hasn't resorted to the same kind of violence and scare tactics that the Chinese are already using.

    Damn I like me some tall asians there. Anyone know how tall the captain is? Most volleyball players are really tall and the chinese olympic female team last time averaged about 1.8m tall. Only that third one in green looks to be above average... sigh...

    Brainiac you have a good point. Being vague about the sacrifices makes it seem too easy to give up. I'm sure no one would want to give up any sacrifices you mention, except maybe change to CF light bulbs or no shopping bags. What would be a better question is would businesses be able to accept higher corporate costs for these resources. When I go to sleep I turn out the lights, but I see all to many companies watering the streets with automatic timers, keeping lights on all nights, or even worse not having any of the computers go into some kind of "sleep mode" after a period of not being used. How much paper is used around the office and how much gets recycled?

    Why do a lot of you think global warming isn't happening? What scientific evidence supports that all variables of the earth remain static? If global warming isn't happening now then its naive to think that it will never happen, especially with the rise of China and India as global powers and an increasing demand for consumer and oil goods around the developing world. It doesn't matter if man is causing change or if its a "natural" climate shift, the source is irrelevant.

    We as humans can only prove the world works for us in this kind of environment that we live in today. If climate shifts in any direction we would have a completely new planet to deal with and the costs to humanity would be enormous. Many people could die if they are uninformed or too poor to prepare for an uncertain future and even if you have the money the costs to ready ourselves could be enormous. If weather patterns change even just slightly then ideal farming locations could shift in such a way that we no longer have enough farm land in the right places to be able to grow enough food to eat. We can only prove the world works in one way, and that's the way it is right now, so if any force, whether man or nature, tries to change the way that the planet is set up then we should use the power of the human mind to reverse these changes to keep the planet in as static an environment as possible.
