It is all related to the warming of the world. There are more and more cases of sporadic and severe weather conditions all over the world. Everything from record high temperatures in Australia to record rain falls in other countries to record snow falls elsewhere.

No it is NOT! Ice and snow are related to cold and NOT to warm!!!
Extreme weather (too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter) obviously has to do with climate changes caused by natural events such us the Sun, volcanoes, etc, and NOT by man-made global warming.

ââ¬ËGlobal warmingââ¬â¢ does not mean we are suddenly becoming tropical, it means there is a slight increase in the planet temperature which has side effects of extreme weather, (of which actually does not include volcanoes etc ) but would include snow, rain, hurricanes, tornadoes etc which are all weather related.
NO! Again, the side effects of extreme weather are due to climate change caused by natural Galactic/Sun/Earth macro cycles. This also includes more volcanic, sink holes and Earthquake activity as we're experiencing and not just extreme weathers. It will also include more potential impacts by cosmic bodies such as meteors, asteroids, etc, as we're also experiencing...seasidemike said:

Something else.
A good photograph of a charming subject can be ruined in photoshop.
You don't have too look through too many photographers sites to see gallery after gallery of photos where the eyes have been retouched until they look like glass, with plastic PERFECT skin, hair that doesn't exist in nature, and all that. And when its done, it looks totally fake.
If that's what you're after, why bother with a living person, as opposed to a mannequin or maybe a ROBOT, as a model to begin with.
For example, about half of the pictures on this page:

Now.... what did that have to do with the thread at hand?
My guess, Nothing. The spammer, who probably wasn't 'a living person' either just had something to get off their chest and did a bang up job of it.
