Well, this thread turned out to be as interesting as I thought it would be.

We are all very opinionated about what we think is happening. I'm sure there were similar conversations just like this one, about smoking. Take the below quotes, and change them a bit...

But I just watched Thank You For Smoking....and this movie almost made me want to go to the store and buy a carton of Luckys. Just watch the first 10 minutes of it, and you will see what I mean!
So, you see what I am getting at here. This thread perfectly illustrates what I was originally writing about. I know this was a really odd thread, and probably both pointless and stupid, but...

I don't know what is true. I don't really know if smoking causes lung cancer or if greenhouse gasses really do cause climate change. But what I DO KNOW, is that there are consequences to human activity, and I don't think we as a species have the brain power, or the collective will to fix it before its to late.
