Really?


PrometheusMFD

Recommended Posts

Here in the magical world I like to call the American Midwest, we have these magical buildings full of books and computers called a Library (notice the first r)

In these "libraries" a person may take home a book, compact disc, or video cassete home for a predetermined amount of time simply by showing a preset "library card" or a photo identification.

Most people have one, most have the other.

And then there is the "special" few who try to cheat the system by simply showing a picture of themselves.

I am not kidding.

This actually happened to me about two minutes ago.

 

Discuss times when someone did something that made you think "Really?"

 

...

Also, to set the record straight, I was the person behind the check-out desk, not the person trying to use a picture of myself as a library card.

When I was at Disney' date=' some family with like 6 or 7 people in it went to one of the busiest restaurants on the entire property expecting to get in without a reservation, and then they got disgusted when they couldn't get in.

Speaking of Disney, my friend was telling me about her cousin who's father, apparently, acts mentally challenged at Disney World so the family (of like 20) can cut lines on rides.

 

No joke.

 

Also: I've shown my ID instead of a library card to check things out before... >_>;;

I've seen it happen as well.

Epcot Japan for the win. XP

 

The library has a lot of retards...really.

Just say that you are only in Epcot for the food.

Free Admission for the win.

Acting is hard. Pretend to only eat is better.

Yeah, an ID is fine. Tells me who you are. But a photograph?

Florida doesn't give sheet. I go there all the time and you can go on there beaches that you "have to pay for" in Pensacola and Tampa for free. All the time.

 

Unless you're a tourist. :P

But I do say Global Warming doesn't exist

And if you can prove to me that it does' date=' I will say the completely true fact that it would be beneficial to all life on Earth, including humanity.

Global Warming makes the glaciers melt, including the Greenland glacier. If he melts completely it will disrupt the gulf stream making most of Europe inhabitable.

 

How is that beneficial for humans and animals?

Meh.

 

The glaciers melting has a LOT to do with natural disruptions as well.

In order for the glaciers to melt, the surrounding area would have to have an increase in average tempurature for that specific area of above freezing (around 35 degrees F, depending on the altitude) for decads (because glaciers are packed, dense, and hard to melt). In order for the arctic circle to melt (average of -50 degrees F), the equator has to heat up by 85 degrees. This would bring that tempurature up to around 175 degrees F.

 

And a (relatively) small amount of fresh water in the ocean is not going to disrupt the gulf stream, and even if it did, Europe wouldn't become inhabitable.

 

Warmer tempuratures is good for plants, good for farming, makes it so alot of animals don't freeze to death (and they wont burn up either).

 

Global Warming is like thinking your house is going to burn down because you are lying on the couch with a blanket.

No.

 

Warmer temperatures will cause moisture to evaporate more and faster, increasing the number and strength of all storms. Next the areas sucked dry of moisture will suffer from drought, killing crops, animals, and eventually turning the whole area into desert. Thus, some areas of the world will suffer from floods and hurricanes, others will be desert, and only a few people will live in the slightly improved areas you have suggested.

 

Oh, and even the slightest change will affect many life forms anyways, for example in the ocean millions of fish will die from a single degree of change in average temperature.

And millions of crops will die, as well as people (as a result of the crops dieing), if the tempurature goes down a few degrees.

 

The whole "Global Warming" thing is bassically "Humans don't derserve to live" basis of mind.

And people who fall for that makes me think "Really?"

Tourettes beats your friend's dad's way.
