Well global warming hype is lame.

Read a book.

But not unfounded. Whether you want to think of it in terms of world destruction or not, people still ought to be conscious of the environment. There's a particularly big wave of green going around down here because we're running out of water, but as annoying and meaningless as it can get at times, it's certainly not a bad thing.

I'm not saying it's a bad thing to be more 'green'. I feel I've presented more than enough evidence in the Global Warming debate to support my side of the debate.


Regardless, Nate, I've done plenty of research on that issue in particular. You telling me to go read a book is like me telling you to go wash a dish.

Reading is belittling now?

Do you honestly believe that global warming is a myth?

:sigh:
Go read the global warming topic before you start accusing me of thinking global warming is a myth. Also the response I used wasn't w/ intent of belittling his job, as belittling as it may be.

No no, the reason I was asking was because I don't want to read that topic, because quite frankly science bores me. Which is not to say that I'm ignorant concerning global warming, but I don't particularly want to read any more on it than I need to.

Ohh. Basically my stance is that yes, it's happening. Yes, we contributed. No, we were not by any means a deciding factor. We haven't done anything that significantly effected global warming. For instance, Mt Pinatubo exploded in the 80s releasing more particles/co2 into the atmosphere than we have since the start of the industrial revolution. Just a funfact. Anyways, I know this isn't the place for it so I'll stop :)

You know there has been scientists who have come out with proof that global warming is a lie, but they get discredited for it? Same with a few weather people. Anyone who knows that it's a scam and has the proof to back it up gets called a liar. I'll never understand it.

As for liberals... If there was one I could agree with on most issues, I'd vote for em. Same goes with republicans. It's all a matter of picking who is going to be less of an a-hole to the people. Doesn't really matter what party it is.

Can we please implement grammar-based exclusivity?

Um, the terms "liberal" and "Republican" don't really parallel. Generally, Republicans are conservative and Democrats are liberal, but that statement about the party not mattering doesn't really work, seeing as there is no such thing as the liberal party. And of course you should vote based on the issues, but parties represent general ideologies, so unless you're just completely moderate, you're more than likely going to lean towards one party. That's hard, though, because moderate candidates generally don't do very well in elections. But still, there tends to be enough of a dichotomy between the parties it's hard to be as independent of a voter as would be ideal.

It's also really hard to say who would be more of an "a-hole to the people," when you consider that people have different ideas of what the government can do that would be offensive. IE, conservatives could consider a politician to be an a-hole if he votes for higher taxes (and I'll leave it there and avoid snide comments), whereas a liberal could find him or her to be an a-hole if they support anti-gay legislature. It's all still completely subjective, so uh, your post basically says nothing.

It's all good. Stephen Colbert announced he was considering running for presidency in South Carolina. We'll be just fine. Also, Global Warming arguing person, I hate repeating myself so if you want to argue that go to the Global Warming thread and I'll gladly bring up quotes that I've already posted of responses to yours.

Nikki, I agree with the whole political party thing. It's unfortunate, really, regarding the moderate candidates. Sometimes, however, you get a conservative democrat (our representative is), which I'm always surprised by.

That you haven't done research wasn't my implication.
If you haven't noticed, I share your stance concerning global warming - and I have, for years.

Well by picking the one that is going to be less of an a-hole, you're picking the one who actually gives a damn about the issues.

I think we need a new party. We can call it PWDGAF which is "People Who Don't Give A f**k". Sound good?
