Attention US/World Populace: Prepare To Run For Your Lives

[budious]

Yeah... I know things were good for me back in the old days

 

I've taken a step backwards and installed NT4 on VPC 2007 just for sh*ts and giggles lately...

 

BTW... whoopty freaking doo! The ocean will be five wider by the time I die.... whoopty freaking doo! consequently it will be home to %30 less species also... whoopty freaking doo! did I mention I won't be around to worry about consequences caused by actions today... let tomorrow's assholes deal with the problems caused by assholes like me today...

 

Ted Turner tried to warn us... back before I had that shiny 14.4k modem and some Windows for Workgroups I was watching this little known environmentalist wacko show for kids called Captian Planet! but even at an early age it proved to me that conservatism was breed into me and that liberials would never be able to squash my sensible side. Sorry Ted... you failed and consequently damned the planet in the process. I think you can still catch reruns of the show on Cartoon Network at early morning hours, it's a pretty lame ass show. No wonder no one wants to save the planet

Found an interesting article to support my attitude on the given subject:

 

"Thus, the global warming movement seeks to repress guyhood in order to perpetuate itself. If a guy is shown a picture of a sad-looking polar bear adrift on an ice floe, his first thought will be something like, "I've heard that bear steaks are tough, but maybe if you marinated them in beer, they'd turn out all right." At that point, the alarmists' emotional ploy is foiled. In a world without guy stuff, however, his vacant mind may be invaded by irrationalities like, "Who will take care of the polar bears' children?" "

A fellow believer and member of the "latter" crowd.

 

" At the leading edge of climate pessimism, the prognoses were frankly apocalyptic. "Before this century is over, billions of us will die and the few breeding pairs of people that survive will be in the Arctic," predicted James Lovelock, a renowned environmental scientist. "

Note: I disagree on two things... the timeline and location of his conclusion. My opinion we are going to remain in the clear for at least the upcoming century and by the time this apocolypse does come the only people screwing will the ones in bio-dome structured colonies existing on Earth or Mars.

Vermont legislators call in "experts" to testify on global warning.

 

"In Montpelier earlier this year, Bill Burrell's sixth-grade students testified before legislative committees about global warming and what Vermont can do about it."

I feel bad for the polar bears that, for the very first time in recorded history, are actually drowning because the space between ice-islands have become to large to traverse. Sure, polar bears have drowned before, but polar bears are damn good swimmers. They are drowning because the warming of the earth is melting the Arctic ice. I'll feel really rotten when in 2010 there is no summer ice at the North Pole. Plus, I'll likely have to buy my beach house in the Appalachian Mountains.

[budious]

I feel bad for the 3rd and 6th graders who are being forced to be activist on an issue they are far too young to be concerning themselves with. The liberial education agenda in this nation is completely out of hand. You have schools full of activist teachers who think they are know it alls because they have a their precious Bachelors of Liberial Arts degree and a teachers certification. You don't see college kids who just finished their general education science requirement rushing off to the state and federal legislators to make pleas on behalf of our doomed planet. The reason being college students will take an environmentals course taught by a Ph.D. who is embedded in facts and not issues. It's easy for liberials to infiltrate elementary and middle schools and start to brainwash children into these needless worries and so far unproven science of global warning. It would be an entirely different issue if global warning had been proven beyond a reasonable doubt to educate children about it but it hasn't. For all the lame your far too young to be exposed to this topic but were going to tell you about it anyways (sex, STDs, global warming, "Why Sarah has two daddies?") topics they should go ahead and include a discussion on abortion and not from the Women's Rights and Movements: A Basic Introduction Course to Feminism texts. How about explaing to little Sally or Jason about how that older brother he/she wanted came along a little earlier in their parent's lives but they opted to run them through a meat grinder. Oh, Yea, Feel the Love! Hand meets face and next thing you know you're bitch slapped into reality like Rosie O'Donnell on a conservative talk show.

Right, i'm stepping back from all this anti-global warming/anyone concerned is a far-left liberal bollocks, because it's rapidly making this site an unattractive place to come to.

 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend.

Welcome to safari adventure abroad, today's show brings us to what remains of the former air america network headquarters. There is no power nor water here yet there is the rather distinctive scent of body oder and ganja in the air. Hopefully we will be able to ascertain the prowless of the liberial in his natural environment. Here, look, under the desk. Notice how, when agitated, that the beast backs himself into a corner and hisses obsessively. Further more, when confronted with fact and logic, the liberial will seek to preserve his own likeness and cut and run. He's a quick little fellow but his mobility has been hampered by placing my thumb within his buttox. We can now safely capture and relocate the speciman to a hip urban metrosexual habitat. This my friends, has been another safari adventure abroad.

 

Sorry Jahled... I'll go easier on the liberials from now on. My rants were specifically against the positions and not the people hold those positions but do not defend them. Enjoy your weekend.

Well I´m neither a lefty, a conservative, liberal nor green. But I´m old enough to know that we hadn´t had here a real summer, like it was used to be before, since 1994. In that year the climate began to change. The summers since `94 were either too cold and too rainy or much too hot with lots of heavy rain and thunderstorms. And it seems that it won´t return to that climate that we had before `94. Edited March 22, 2007 by Eagle

I am inclined to agree with my British brother.

I'll quote myself again to try and help you understand what everybody else understood, Budious!

It's not rocket science

 

I've said previously i'm no scientist or expert on the subject, and I very much doubt you are, and if I could be arsed could undoubtably post loads of links 'proving' what i'm more or less inclined to believe to be the case (global warming is real, and humans are almost certainly to have been the cause for it), or links discrediting the arguments I disagree with.

 

Oddly enough, given the volume of your anti-liberal rhetoric concerning the subject, I can't be arsed, because it's ultimately pointless, and certainly can't be arsed to invest the time. But it is ultimately this use of the term liberal which turns me off to any further interest trying to discuss the subject around here.

 

Why am I a liberal for having a concern for global warming, and coming to the conclusion humanity is ultimately responsible? The majority of the world scientific community have come to the conclusion global warming is real, and that humans in some aspect are more or less responsible; how does proscribing to that belief make me liberal? Use of the word brakes down into meaninglessness in this context.

 

I'm not, and I very much doubt SOCL, is some long haired anarchist hippy smoking dope 'appreciating,' woodland as some kind of 'cosmic experience.' I simply enjoy wildlife, and I guess you do as well dude! On a personal note, I get my kicks out of spending my lunch hour watching London Zoo's animals and their antics; the Otters are my favourite, and never fail to please!

 

But on a wider note, you're average Joe family man, perhaps life long Republican voter, more directly appreciating North-America's wilderness and wildlife with his kids, perhaps bonding with kids shooting at some of it, is still going to be pissed if none of it is there because of climate change, or some industrial development destroys large swathes of his rural backyard he grew up with (and btw, I recently read in a journal we get, USA, Canada, Europe, and surprisingly China, are at the moment taking the lead in protecting forest reserves); but with your argument, would he be a liberal to protest against the destruction of a habitat his own father might have taught him how to shoot in as a kid?

 

Ultimately: 'conservation'/'concern' for gloabl-warming doesn't = left wing politics

 

..sort of thing

[budious]

Yeah I know... it's like standing in an elevator and pressing the buttons for all the floors then stepping out. I don't know why I do it, but I do, and it pisses everyone off.

[SOCL]

Yeah I know... it's like standing in an elevator and pressing the buttons for all the floors then stepping out. I don't know why I do it, but I do, and it pisses everyone off.

Which, if you're keep doing, can be considered flaming, budious, which entails consequences.

 

 

In any event, something I don't quite understand is why being concerned for the environment is increasingly become a "bad thing." Then again, this might have a lot to do with the politicization of the environment so that what one party rallies around, the other party must, out of political spite, rally against. That may be the reason and, I hope, is the only reason. I can't see why any decent, educated person would think it alright to destroy the earth's natural environments. It has nothing to do with global warming, either, just with the fact that it's a good idea to conserve and preserve the environment. It's the only one we have, and when it's gone, we won't have another one. Well, that's the way I see it. Politically, nothing drastic will likely be done, but can't everyone agree that we should progress towards helping the environment? I know there will be people who will say "No", if only out of spite, so take it as utterly rhetorical.

 

Oh, and Jahled, you are quite right. No long hair or smoking dope here. And, like you, I too spend my spare time watching the animals. Otters, I agree, are fun, but I personally find the Red Pandas more amusing. They always seem on the verge of falling from great heights to their deaths, but still somehow always manage to get out of it safely. One day you should come see the National Zoo, and I'll go see the London Zoo sometime, too.

[budious]

I don't see how pushing buttons in an elevator is flaming? A waste of direct current maybe, my small contribution to global whining. If you don't like my political opinions, lock the topic.

 

Back to my original position. I agree that global warming may be occuring, or at least we have altered our environment to such a state that ecological diversity will suffer. I also stated that while all this is happening and emissions can be cut as per capita, short of castrating half of the population, the world population will continue to expand at an exponential rate of growth. In 1850, the world surpassed 1 billion humans, by 1930, we had 2 billion. At the millenium's end we had 6 billion and growing. Where does it stop? How can enforcing sanctions on developed nations while allowing developing nations to operate unrestricted have any agenda to help our planet. It doesn't, it simply ties one hand of the US behind our back to make the rest of the World feel better about itself.

It has nothing to do with your political opinion, budious. I would never lock a topic over political opinion, and I believe you know as well as I do that the elevator comment had nothing to do with my warning. You mentioned that what you type is "like" standing in an elevator and pressing all the buttons because it "pisses everyone off." Action that is made in order to intentionally provoke anger or annoyance is considered flaming, budious. I took what you said at face value. I am merely asking you to refrain from, as you put it yourself, purposefully pissing users off.

[budious]

Ok, well can I redeem my Mulligans for the elevator comment? Clean slate to continue the former conservation and taunting without eluding to flaming.

I'm pretty sure if you asked Bill he'd tell ya his life's "... been a living hell since I married that old witch..."

That would have been some sight to see

 

Oh, and Jahled, you are quite right. No long hair or smoking dope here.

Dang, it's now confirmed, my hopes are crushed

 

I understand what you're saying J. I think part of the problem is the way the word "liberal" is used at each location (London vs US). Over here, I believe that too many (political) people are more worried about making a "name" for themselves than really worrying about whatever topic they're harping on. Some times, correction, most of the time politics suck. And over here we get a LARGE dose of it every 4 years.

 

Unfortunately, we (the US) don't have anyone person to rise about the "crap" and just speak on the issues (without lots of secret political manueverings). I'm just waiting for that one person that's NOT part of a political machine to run (more than likely as an independent), that really has a solid chance to win

 

So, I'll sit back, watch the antelope play (or just the deer), watch the tumbleweeds roll on by, and stare at the sunset until it's time ...

 

PS J gets to see otters everyday, SOCL gets to see Red Pandas everyday, I get to see deer everyday

Does this mean SOCL, that you got a job at the Smithsonian National Zoo? Well done dude! The Duke of Edinburgh (the Queen's other half) will be opening our new Gorilla Kingdom exhibit at the end of the month, with the usual very small chance he'll want to visit the library.. (actually, perhaps that's why I had two detectives interview me a while ago over some minor incident with a visitor, I remember thinking it was a bit of an overkill at the time.. )

Emm.. a proxy? I wouldn't know where to begin Tex. If it's something I can do via my web space at jahled.co.uk, then feel free to present some instructions (a genuine idiot could follow) and i'll give it a go..

Well, I don't think an old coot like me would be able to provide any helpful instructions. Heaven only knows what damage I could do

 

(*** taps on computer screen ***)

 

Hey! You young whipper-snappers out there! Can any of you lend a hand? There's got to be a couple of computer savy folks out there that should know about proxy servers and such If not, well ... nevermind Just a thought
