Obama Wants To Raise Your Electric Bill

i dont believe in god and i oppose global warming legislation. also i do not deny that the globe is warming. although i think it is possible it isnt and in fact it is now cooling. in fact i think over the last 10 years or so, we have cooled. but i am aware that 10 years is nothing. of course a million years is also not much in terms of the earth.

but anways, it makes sense. religious folks dont need environmentalism. they already have a religion. they already have their reason to feel guilty. they already have their original sin, their reason to seek salvation. the leftys dont have that, but they find it in the environmental movement.

 

i wonder why their cross to bear isnt abortion?

 

see i don't believe in any deity, i am for legislation on global warming as long as it does not cost the taxpayer. I think that we should be looking at some alternative fuels, and affordable technology to free our dependance on foreign oil, namely saudi arabia, it pisses me off, that some saudi prince is having a big breasted woman feed him grapes every time i fill my tank.

as far as the religious people, the only reason i wondered that is because you know that there are people out there that think we cannot harm the earth and it will go boom when god wants it to.

 

when you buy something, you should remember that you are the one who bought it. if you dont want to that dude to have the grapes or the slut, then buy a bicycle and move closer to work. it is weird that you would hate stuffing money in the saudi pockets, and yet you continue doing it.

perhaps if we change our own lives on our own, we would not push the government so much to force us to change our lives.

i agree about the harming the earth part. we can certainly change the earth a little. but to call that change "harm" is weird. as far as i can tell, we humans have made the earth a zillion times more livable for ourselves. and the most important way we can continue to raise everyone's standard of living is by making them rich. that means not restricting the economy.

 

We've had this discussion (you and I) before. Gaia, the rituals are legion, the dogma is on TV every day, all day. There are heretics. There are priests. It's adherents have religious fervor, even though the vast majority of them follow the dogma based purely on faith. blah. blah. blah. You don't agree. I get it. It's too bad. I like you better when you're right.

Sigh. I know what a theory is. I know in great detail how peer review works. I also know that assumptions are made where data does not provide conclusions. I also know that data, universally accepted, is often later found to laughably WRONG. You spent a lot of words on a concept we both agree on (theories are theories) and no words on my point (scientific theories are often used for political purposes, significantly so in this case).

I thought you owned woodlands, that you exploit for future revenue? In order to make this profitable, I'm guessing you conserve that resource. You're a conservationist.

The true distinction is that Conservationists are pragmatic and Environmentalists are idealogues. Just like other religious fanatics.

Wow. Did I touch a nerve? :lol: I believe I called it an "image", which would by default basically make it a stereotype. And stereotypes are useful, largely because they are generally 90% correct!

:grin:

 

What are you doin' diggin' around in martin's closet? :nope: Bad idea.

 

Welcome to Tiger Forum.

 

Why is global warming even a major point of politics to begin with? It's hot. Go buy a pair of shorts and a tshirt, go swimming, buy a window unit or a fan and get over it.

Fix the economy. This is like fighting over what color to paint the neighbor's freaking walls while your own house doesn't even have a roof on it.
