Where is your discussion, or is cut and paste all you can do, spamming
shit head?

Have you ever wondered what your life might have been like if you had
the competence to do more than just copy the words of others, spamming
piece of shit?

   Name callers like you, jimp, can greatly benefit from these anger
   management classes. Give them a try--improve your behavior on
   USENET.

Still no discussion, spamming shit head?

Have you ever wondered why you are the only person who thinks I am
angry with them, spamming piece of shit?

Have you ever wondered what your life might have been like if you had
the competence to do more than just copy the words of others, spamming
piece of shit?

I agree, by using solar energy to convert CO2 into solid Carbon and 
pooping it out on the ground, we will remove CO2 from the atmosphere, 
strangling Plants, Trees and grasses, and creating huge piles of 
flammable Carbon dust, which can blow and dispurse intot he upper 
atmosphere further reducing sunlight and killing off our little plant 
buddies, but CURING Global Wormingley.
