Comfort myself? More like not get worked up over an unproven theory.

It's proven.

there's evidence to support everything depending how you skew it.

Granted, you're right about the government. And I said before, I'm all for reducing emissions, finding better energy sources, etc. in order to protect the environment. I am quite sure you don't realize the extent to which my family and I are actually involved in trying to help the environment in whatever way we can. That said, a lot of what people are using in the "global warming" spiel is in fact not proven.

P.S. "etc."

About evidence:
There are way more hurricanes, the icecaps are melting, Australia...well Australia speaks for itself, there are way more floods, etc. etc. etc. etc. Evidence is not hard to find.

Everybody needs to always keep in mind one thing when reading scientific articles that have been passed through the mainstream media:
Correlation does not imply causation.

I'm not going to talk about this whole Global Warming thing.

But Chup is right about "et cetera", it gets REALLY annoying when people spell it as "ect." EVEN AFTER the person is corrected.

It looks like you're intentionally doing it to get under peoples' skin. Stop.

Oh, sorry about that. I didn't realize. I'll edit it if it annoys you that much.

Global warming is caused by a lack of pirates, people! Geez, get it together, already!

Hey, I'll start supporting that theory!

I hate spring. I'm all sick from the farming activity and stuff. And spring may not be to blame, but my lips have been really chapped.

Ah yes,

A good brass instrument player always has lip balm on hand. I've got 2 on my desk I can reach for whenever my lips get chapped.

I've got two loaded Nerf guns on my desk that I can reach for should anyone sneak up on me.

I refute that statement.

Chupperson Weird · « **Reply #4347 on:** April 12, 2008, 11:58:35 AM »

Come to think of it, I know a lot of really really good brass players. I don't think they need lip balm.
Wouldn't that kind of mess up your lips vibrating on the mouthpiece?

Vidgmchtr · « **Reply #4348 on:** April 12, 2008, 12:13:00 PM »

Not necessarily that, but if your lips are chapped, the possibility of damaging your lips and making them bleed while playing is much higher (It's happened to me a few times). Application should be done as soon as possible, not right before playing.

LD's refuting for no reason. And he's making me want to leave this place more and more.

Shyguy92 · « **Reply #4349 on:** April 12, 2008, 01:31:10 PM »

There are still pirates.

And LD had a reason to refute.
