Guys, 1) I'm already dead. So it's not like you can lynch me. 2) Either way, I'm not an AI. <_<

If he's right, I totally said it first.

Very nicely summed up Octopuppy! Since everything has pretty much already been said, I'm just going to clarify one thing. Octopuppy was demonstrating how God may have just planted all the evidence and led us to believe we are evolving, well, this is known as Intelligent Design, and is *the most* annoying theistic argument ever. Complete bollocks. Watch out for it, 'cos it comes up a fair amount in debates, and knowing some of the weaknesses in it (such as how unlikely it is that God(s) placed everything a peculiar way so we could be deceived into thinking we're such clever beings for "figuring it all out") really helps. This is unrelated, but about 2 years ago one of my best friends came up with a selective breeding plan that would create humans with tails, or rather, give humans back their tails. I'm not so sure on the details, but I can ask him about it if anyone's interested. Mental and physical, in my opinion. Earlier this year, Eli (he's registered on here but never comes on )and I were going for a walk, and created our Theory Hypothesis of Superhuman Evolution. This wasn't referring to the way humans are already evolving on their own, but rather how we could make them evolve. It has to do with being capable of using more of our mind and muscles during life-threatening situations. In spite of adrenaline having quite a bit to do this with, I think the more often you are exposed to situations that challenge you physically and mentally, the easier they will be to overcome. We thought that if perhaps we had a hundred or so infants, who were completely contributed to science, we could perform a few trials ("experiment on" seems like such a bad term to use in this case >_>) on them and look at the results. If our hypothesis is correct, that the infants grow and are capable of using much more of their brain and muscle than generations before them, a superhuman race is in the breeding, and the geniuses of today will not even compare to the dumb people of tomorrow. That's one rather large step for mankind methinks, albeit an important one.

You, not good at judging what the difference between a right choice and a wrong one is. *Where the hell is Mekal?

Hey, no offense, but you've been wrong about every single person you've tried getting lynched so far. I'm pretty sure I'm dead anyway, but either way, I AM NOT AN AI.

Jrod, there is plenty of proof the evolution happened. Google them.

I'm doing some on-the-side research for my science teacher, and Global Warming is one of the topics I'm looking into. This has got to be the shortest essay I've ever written, but it covers CO2. I'll eventually write another one to cover some of the other theories. Please pardon mistakes, it's late, I've just finished, and it hasn't been properly looked over yet. Global warming is in no way a new thing. Throughout history, there have been periods of time when it has been a lot colder than it is now (the series of ice ages definitely being some of our foremost evidence, as we didn't have much documentation way back when), but also a lot warmer. During the Cenozoic era 65 million years ago (began when the dinosaurs died out, also the beginning of mammals), Earth was about 18° - 27° Fahrenheit hotter than it is now. Clearly humans weren't alive back then, so I can say without a doubt that this was not our fault. Earth's temperature shot up even further after this period, leveled off, went down for a while, we had a few ice ages, and now the temperature is rising again. (Details can be found here: http://math.ucr.edu/home/baez/temperature/) There are many theories on what caused all this climate change, the Greenhouse Gas Effect most common among these. Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere make the atmosphere retain more of the heat from the sun, as it traps and re-directs the heat as it reflects back off the Earth. Contrary to common belief, green house gases are actually good for us. If we had no greenhouse gases in the air then we'd all be dead, because it'd be very, very, very cold. We are certainly putting more of these, CO2, SO2 and so on into the air, but the effect of that is dwarfed by the two main greenhouse gases, which are water vapor and methane. Though we have significantly added to the amount of methane through cattle ranches, flooded rice fields, and other things, all these gas emissions combined are still behind termites when it comes to the biggest producers of the stuff worldwide. Human production of CO2 and SO2 also doesn't amount to much. A day, the average size volcano can emit anywhere from 20 tons to 10 million tons of S02, depending on volcanic activity, type, and the volume of magma involved. For example, the large explosive eruption of Mount Pinatubo on 15 June 1991 expelled 3-5 km3 of dacite magma and injected about 17 million tons of SO2 into the stratosphere. Along with this, volcanoes release more than 130 millions of tons of C02 into the atmosphere every year. Don't forget that there are thousands of volcanoes! C02 typically does not pose a direct hazard to life because it becomes diluted to low concentrations very quickly. But in certain circumstances, C02 may become concentrated at levels lethal to people, especially in volcanic areas where C02 emissions occur. The point is, volcanoes and termites combined, in one year, produce way more SO2 and CO2 than the human race has in its entire history. Volcanoes came before us, volcanoes will stay pretty much long after we're gone. The planet is going to be fine pretty much fine whatever we do, but we stand some chance of wiping out a fair amount of life. So to conclude, it's mostly a natural process (heh, actually it's kind of arrogant to actually think we have so much affect on our planet), but we are doing something to make it worse, and being natural doesn't mean it'll be good for us.

Oops, sorry. He. Rainthinker is male. Got it now. Dunno. Mekal still hasn't posted it.

Real psychopaths feel no guilt. ..That's why I can kill anyone and be perfectly happy the next day.

Heh, we're both optimistic.

...Mekal went offline and we still don't know who is dead... I think it's me and Star Tiger. Definitely Star Tiger. Maybe Junior didn't suck all of my blood?

Yo, did I die? Again?

Heh. Facebook is blocked at school. Matazone = Brainden > Debating > Math and Science > Hot/awesome people > Facebook > Everything else > Myspace.

Okay, I've been re-re-reading through the thread, and I'm pretty convinced Star_Tiger and Rainthinker are baddies! Think about it. ST's pretty much been accused this entire time. RT's probably a baddie with her, and since she's pretty sure the spy person has died, she's just vouching for ST because she knows no one can say anything about it. That leaves a third person..

Thanks. But you can't really call what I made a piece of art.

Well I think this has all gotten a bit confusing during the last 5 or so pages!

Quit manipulating! I don't know whether you're an AI or not, but I'm not! Why can't you guys see that?!

GUYS I'M NOT AN AI. IMPERVIOUS, STOP TELLING THEM TO KILL ME. Okay, here's how I see things right now. Apparently ST isn't an AI. I'm not an AI (I swear. Guys, I don't know what Blade was playing at, but I'm not an AI. RainThinker, spy on me tonight. Vouch for me. You'll see I'm not an AI. Whoever else has any roles that would let them see what I'm doing. LOOK AT ME. You've lynched me dumbly once, you've lynched Neptune because of a joke. You guys aren't very good lynchers. (Myself included on the Neptune part..). But now instead of just trying to lynch, you're trying to have the killing roles kill me, while they should be busy killing the real AIs. At this point, I'm confused. Very confused. So I don't have a possible AI list. However, I think Rainkthinker and Star Tiger might both be AIs. Just tryin' to save each other..

Stepping away from the debating, The God Delusion came in the mail today! Yaaay!!! :D

I'm pretty sure everyone is suspicious of you. I haven't trusted you from the start. I dunno what Blade was getting at, but it's some sort of sabotage. Guys, if you lynch me again, you'll regret it, again. Tex, Wyoming, kill her.

When I said I couldn't draw... I meant it.
