Just ugly.
But I'm not surprised.
Remem...Ugly. Just ugly.<br />But I'm not surprised.<br />Remember what happened to that fellow who dared to say the earth is not flat?<br /><br />I did a bit of research online as to what motivates a bully and its usually some sort of fear and insecurity.<br />I came across a lot of this sort of bullying from within my own family (most of whom I see as little as possible, these days) and it took a counselor to point out to me that they did it because in some way they felt threatened by me.<br /><br />I read the same thing on one of the bullying websites - bullies will often target someone who they feel threatened by.<br /><br />Then again it could be that the zombie apocalypse has begun and the climate change deniers are but the First Wave of Zed force.Quokkanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8596311792079889431.post-59458468536071593382010-02-21T18:52:58.239-08:002010-02-21T18:52:58.239-08:00Update: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2...Update: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/stories/s2826189.htm<br /><br />Yep, it's an orchestrated campaign.

I think it takes time for the popul...Yes, and yes.<br /><br />I think it takes time for the population to catch up to the facts. <br />I remember when I was 15 and I developed an interest in nutrition - and I didn't want to become another statistic in our cancer cluster family.<br /><br />My mother died of breast cancer 2 days shy of her 42nd BD.<br />I read about how rare it was in Japanese women and started reading about phyto-oestrogens and adjusted my diet accordingly.<br /><br />My grandfather - her father - was horrified that I would want to nix the red meat x 3 meals a day from my diet. He was a physician, of some note, on Wickham Terrace here in Brisvagus.<br /><br />He explained to me with utter sincerity that he thought my mother had developed breast cancer from playing hockey as a teenager. <br />'She must have had a knock,' he assured me.<br /><br />The woman lived on scotch on the rocks and corned FKN beef.<br />But that wouldn't do it, nooooo.....<br /><br />My interest in nutrition is still Witchcraft to that part of the family, but I choose to stay clear of The Earth Is Flat sector of my gene pool and stick to saner company. <br /><br />RE your concerns, I think that there will be a change in attitude over the next few years because climate change is already In Our Faces.<br /><br />How you get the selfish overconsuming lard butts out of their bloody BMW4WDs though I really couldn't say.Quokkanoreply@blogger.com
