Environmentalists caused the war
« on: February 26, 2004, 11:28:52 PM »

The FOE and Sierra Club caused the war in Iraq by keeping energy prices so high that people like Saddam Hussein would spring up and take over the middle eastern nations in their greed. If we`d been allowed to drill for oil in Alaska and off the coast of California and allowed to develop nuclear power there`d be no need to "protect the juglar" as the democraps call it. If you don`t believe me ask a Califonian after their next blackout. Hell, without the environmentalist whacko`s there`d be no OPEC.

Nothing like letting Limbaugh speak for you.  :roll:  B+ effort for trolling, but could have used more "Feminazi" references.

OPEC=Over Pricing Every Can.  :lol:

I rather liked his post.  It had everything... fun, fright, drama, tension.

I laughed.

I cried.

Okay, I cried a lot.

I'm still crying.




Okay, actually, I didn't read all of it.  He lost me at "Sierra Club".  What was this about again?

Nothing important.

And porcuswine, why the fuck are you using accents in place of apostrophes? </EnglishMajorGripe>

That'd be because he copied and pasted his whole post from whatever article he got that from.


Hm.

"Porcuswine".


Hey Porky... ever read any Harry Harrison?  Just curious.  :)

If have to bring ONE more apple to someone so they'll give me a saltshaker that might let me get into a castle, I'm going to go nuts.

Stupid item-based quests.

Hey, it's either that or you spend most of the game playing UPS running all over the bloody world delivering items to ungrateful NPCs.

1.No it wasn't a cut and paste job from an article.
2.I'm not a typist and thanks for pointing it out.
3.Rush Limbaugh should be so good as to think like me.
4.Can you deny that greed was the reason Saddam went into Kuwait?
5.Can you deny that oil prices would be lower if the drilling in Alaska and off the coast of California hadn`t been stopped?
6.Can you deny that demand for oil would be less with more nuclear power plants?
7.Reasonably?

Ok, which one of you is trolling incognito? Demo, you trying to raise my blood pressure?  :twisted:

In reply to:

4. Huh?
5. Prove it.
6. Prove that nuclear power is safe, including the disposal of all spent rods. Also prove that the security of nuclear power plants is a top priority that is being dealt with effectively right now (heh). Basically, prove that anyone at the DOE has their head anywhere but up their own ass.
7. And make sure to tie all this crapola back into direct and intented movements by those you accuse. Reasonably.

I am a Californian. We we fucked by Enron, PGE, Duke Power, and ultimately, an administration that refused to investigate it at the time, citing "market forces".

Anything else I can help you with?

Oh no. I think it absolutely can be done safely, but I don't think it is being done safely.

My beef is with the DOE, not nuclear power.

You were fucked by your refusal to allow construction of new power plants.
That's all you were fucked by.

Oh, grow up. If you can't have a debate without resorting to name calling or implying, go away.

Actually, you're wrong.  Big businesses and White Collar Crime is what is normally at fault for fucking up things.

Like the Savings and Loan scandal.  Did you know that because of that, every tax payer will have to pay the government $15000 until the government debt on that issue is covered?  And no one served anymore time in jail than a couple of years.

If you want something you can point your finger at if something fucks up things at a community-wide level and above, big businesses and the government and white collar crime are good people to blame.  Also people who aren't intelligent enough to see stuff like that and instead say, "Go back to the grassy knoll," out of ignorance.

The political forums will often generate debates and difference of opinions. Sensitive topics are often discussed in these forums. That's the point of having them. However, if a person can't debate in a civilised manner and not take things personally they should not participate in the political forums. If someone doesn't respect someone else because of frustrations generated by the discussion, someone could find themselves at the end of my ban stick +12.

It's the cesspool of teh intraweb!11! "Huuurrr, Liberals SUXoRz!" "Huuur, no you Conservative NAZIs SuX0R3s!!!11" The subject of the thread is "What did you have for lunch today?"  :lol:

porcuswine, I think you're a tad off. I'm as free capitalist as they come. Most times I would say it is the government screwing things up, not big business, but that was clearly an episode of attempting to tilt market forces for economic gain.

I had a chicken breast, yukon gold baked potato, and brussel sprouts.  :wink:
