The boobs in the image should be added to the list of grotesque things added by modern fairy tales.

Oh, come on people, it's not that hard. Haven't you people been studying your Ancient?

The reason those individual birth rates were so high is because half or more of those children died in infancy. It wasn't a matter of them growing up and dying earlier than normal, they never grew up at all. It was the same in pre-industrial Europe and the U.S. The lowering of the individual birth rate and infant…

All I have to do is look at situations wherein this already has happened, only to a smaller degree. We do start acting like cavemen. We are not able to rebuild on our own, there's nothing to build with until the government starts shipping in aid and materials to do so. There aren't enough trees and stones in most…

Birth rates are not falling everywhere. If they were we wouldn't have created almost a billion people in the last decade years. The total world population was one billion in the year 1800. It was six billion in 1999. Now it is around 7 Billion.

I probably would be, and those creatures who would find me so would eat me with no guilt whatsoever. The problem isn't our eating these animals, the problem is the human population is far too large and growing out of control.

Take away the economic and scientific infrastructure I was talking about, and how exactly are we better? Thumbs? We still have to eat, we are still reliant on a stable environment, we still get diseases.

When they stop being delicious.

If we could be looking everywhere at once, I'd agree with you, but we don't. It's a big sky, and these objects move very, very fast.

Again... no.

Sorry, but no. We really haven't advanced at all in any way that matters in terms of large scale extinction. Animal behavior is natural. People are animals. Human behavior causes us to be favored or unfavored. Things like medicine don't have a positive impact, since they spare the environmentally unfavored, but…

That would work, too, with him like zipping into fast forward after the headbutt.

You'd have to adjust that also by whether or not birth control is covered under your nation's health care policy. I AM IN UR HEAD, POLITICIZIN YOUR FANTASIEZ.

I'm betting you could find far worse in the 60's and 70's, when there was half as much metal in the cars, still no crumple zones, exploding gas tanks, and they cruised at two or three times the speed. Think Pinto on the expressway.

Yeah, but this is a) supposed to be funny, and b) European. Correct me if I am wrong, but isn't it normally strange for anything funny and European to make sense? I am pretty sure even when I find European things funny it's probably not for the reasons they were intended to be funny, if they were intended to be…

I'm not sure I could grant him acknowledgement of the equipment to kick.

It would have to be a mannequin, sadly. You can't smack a target, and honestly there's no better reaction to Geoffrey. He doesn't really merit shooting, or even punching, it needs smacking like they whiny brat he is.

Erm, you tried to prove that Detroit doesn't suck by saying "white professionals" want to live there? As opposed to what, those slightly less attractive places where non-white professionals want to move, or *gasp* non-white, non-professionals?

I was thinking Nagel seemed to seep into everything made in the 80's

Well, I guess we'll have to light a few fires for them... it's all part of the urban relocation program. We'll call it the Top Dollar Detroit Works program. Tell T-Bird and his crew they're working tonight.
