Retarded people are in fact more clever than you'd think. Don't compare them to yourself. There is absolutely nothing wrong with retarded folk.

All summed up into how an urban kid would say it; "Don't diss retards!", though I don't approve of saying things like that. 'Diss' gets on my nerves.

when petrol goes we recycle to oil rigs into buildings and use alchohol instead

there we are a non pollutant way to the rise above petrol

People will always 'diss' others, especialy retards. Duh. Anyway I think we'll fuss abit, then try to find different sources of fuel, then global warming will kill us all.

Think it through, Laser. If we start using alchohol, the price of it goes up, prompting all other items that are alchohol-based or use alchohol in their recipe to also raise their prices. This will prompt other items that use the alchohol-dependant items to raise their prices as all, and so on and so on.

Nope, I say reknewable resources are the way to go.

Because mentally disabled people usually act funny, lack friends and don't fit in with the 'cool' crowd. Big people have to pick on little people to prove themselves screwy enough to their peers. At least that's what happned to me.

Hey, we got along without it from: pick one

1. When that nasty old snake polished up the apple.

2. We crawled out of the primordial ooze on our fins.

Till around 150 years ago. We`ll get along.

Some geo-political shake-ups for sure, but man will go on using up every thing
there is to use, then we die.

If we manage to perfect nuclear fusion, we could have a near-endless supply of energy.

I've never understood why today's youth think a mentally disabled person as to behave in a 'funny' fashion. I myself find them difficult to pick out from the rest of us screw-ups. 'Big' people don't have to pick on 'little' people (though I understand what you mean - I understand you didn't mean 'have' in the context I am speaking in). The ones who do are just plain ignorant. They are generally known as 'scum'.

My best friend is retarded. I've stuck up for him since high-school. Mentally disabled people have feelings.

Today's youth's attitude and behavior can be indeed deplorable. I detest the stereotypes of teenagers and high-schoolers.

Please understand that this post isn't hostile - I'm simply making a point.

If we started using alchohol instead of petrol people will actually stop using alchohol in perfumes and beers and stuff to get more money from it as a fuel
and then because alchohol doesn't give out as much energy as petrol we could also use renewable resourses as well like a solar panel on an alchohol run car

Not true. The sources of alcohol for drinks (eg grapes, hops, etc) are quite different to the sources of alcohol for energy (sugar cane, other sugary plants). I'm not sure about perfume but I doubt it will be affected.

I know, I just hate bullies, I think they bugged me because I wasn't friends with them or something, and I saw people take advantage of an autistic boy in my school to manipulate and make fun of him. People are sick. Sorry if I didn't make my point clearly or something, I can screw up with words.

True, I have feelings.

New fuel is already available. It has been for years but since it would mean big trouble for the oil industry and thus for the biggest part of the worlds economy, governments everywhere are trying to pospone the use of those fuels as long as they posibly can. When oil does finaly run out, new sources will automaticaly be used. No problems anywhere... except that we won't have anymore plastic. That might be a problem.
You hit the nail on the head with that post. The oil companies sure as hell arent giving up until we are completely dry.

Less dangerous than Nuclear Splicing (the current form of atomic energy).
Fusion won't generate as much radiation as Splicing, though you need a pretty high temperature. But when you manage to get to that temperature, the process is self sustaining. As long as there is fuel, of course.

Scientists have been able to get the startup process (getting that high temp, under the high pressure) to, like, 75-80 %, for a couple of milliseconds, So we're getting close ,

Perhaps, but it's more than just an issue of turning up the heat. It's basic physical laws on which they they are running aground, not simply a matter of a thermostat that doesn't turn up that high.

i just hope fusion energy scientist get a move on with all the pouring electrons into atoms and what not.
But i fear it is too late for renewable energy because Oil is a multi-bilion pound industry and the oil barons of america and arabia arn't going to stop until there is none left

I know, I know, but you NEED that high temperature and pressure to get the chainreaction going. It'll generate its own heat after that.
