Pavlov, Lemmings, BS, & Strawberries

well the point of politics is to make the best decisions, bot submit to whatever happens because you are too weak to have a position or oppose the majority.

so i was correct, you refuse to answer. dude wins a nobel prize on the topic we are discussing, drives the national debate, but you cant say whether you agree with him or not. i happen to disagree with almost all of his proposals. do you? no answer?

well, obviously, you keep your views secret for fear of having to defend them.

of course. you can put words in your mouth if you like. but you do not answer. do you agree with findings and suggestions proposed by al gore, and the science behind his conclusions? no answer?

if you say so, man, i am just trying to get you to take a position. but like i said, you perceive both sides to be extreme and therefore cannot agree with either because you have crafted a wise and moderate persona for yourself.

 

Pretty demanding for someone who claims to have all the answers.

 

just as long as there are no real questions.

i prefer to seemingly have all the answers, not really make a position, then claim im somewhere in the middle --you know, where its good and safe.

 

no i havent. and unlike you, i have been very clear about it. i am impossibly wise and i like to really consider everything and not accept the words of extremists. you cant possibly imagine how moderate i am. i refuse anything that anyone thinks is extreme.

just as a starting point, do you agree with the assertion that we are dealing with an urgent and unprecedented threat to human civilization? this is his premise. he mostly quotes the IPCC, and i believe you have said you trust them.

other points:

do you agree with carbon cap and trade programs?

federal investment in ethanol and other alternative energies?

trade restrictions or other punishments for poor countries with pollution-heavy industries.

should we sign something like the kyoto protocol, like virtually every other developed country?

i do, i keep up. do you keep up with newsmakers and politicians?

you should keep yourself educated on these things if you want to discuss them. yunno al gore was vice president and he won a nobel prize for his incredibly important work on the very topic we are discussing.

true.

me, i am a partisan, blindly follow the right wing christians.

 

huh? its not al gore. its any of you hogwash saloon people on their global warming high-horse telling everyone we must do something.

include any conservative you want and i feel the same. i doubt i mentioned al bore because hes such a joke that i try to forget so many idiots actually fall for his agenda.

 

well, to be fair i was simply asking if you agree with his findings. i was kinda surprised that you dont know where he stands.

al gore and many like him propose worldwide limits to carbon emissions. do you agree with this policy?

i do not, i think this would:

a. be ignored in the third world, resulting in no real reduction in emissions.
b. when not ignored, be crippling to developing countries.
c. hurt the economy of everywhere, which is most damaging to those at the bottom of the scale, causing more misery that it prevented.
d. divert attention from atual problems.

see, i have a position. it isnt that hard.
