S@T@N Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 I would need 5.2 planets. This just goes to show that sooner or later, there will be another cataclysmic loss of life for humans. Maybe a plague or a natural disaster, but it always happens, which is why there isn't a different species dominating the planet. Oh well, when it hits, it hits.

Vanity Posted September 22, 2003 Share Posted September 22, 2003 Originally posted by 23578 hey guys, have you pledged to reduce? nope... i ranked very low in everything except food, and i really dont even eat much meat, but they said food w/ animal products, and that's pretty much every processed food... which is also bad, but, given my current income, i cant' exactly afford that $4 loaf of all natural locally baked whole wheat bread... instead it's the 80s cent loaf of white "bread".
