You make them without hesitation, at least as long as you get to

Well, apply for sainthood. You still drive more than many people around 
the world, you eat more than most people around the world, you use more 
energy than people in other parts of the world, and so on.

Yes, aren't we fortunate. Thank God for air-conditioning and modern 
conveniences. You can go live in a mud hut if it really bothers you. I 
bet the mud hut people would gladly trade places with you.

You're duplicitous. You say you're not biased, yet you whine about how 
bad humans are and that there are too many people. Surely you have some 
ideas where you'd like to make some population cuts. You still haven't 
told us if you have more than two children. Come on, are you part of the 
over-population problem?

Not at all. Everyone else is the problem in your little world, yet you 
engage in the same behaviors with the same consequences.

I've only called you a misanthrope (for obvious reason) and a negative 
nabob, which is apropos given your doomsday attitude about your fellow 
man. I asked you some *very* fair questions, but I suspect those 
questions hit the nail on the head in comparing your rhetoric to your 
reality. It's easier to shoot the messenger, isn't it.

So is yours.
