You think that thought is ridiculous, check this one out- I finally watched "An Inconvenient Truth," and Gore said that you can tell WHAT YEAR WE PASSED THE CLEAN AIR ACT BY LOOKING AT ICE SAMPLES IN THE ANTARCTIC. I swear I spit beer everywhere when he rolled off with THAT one.

While the author does make some really good points, I'm not sure I agree with him, especially in regards to the two-party system being impossible to break out of. I believe that all it would take would be a charismatic leader who could speak to people like a human being. If a fucking flake...

Med, I'm not calling you "paranoid", I'm just sayin that I think the term "poor" gets used VERY loosely in this country, and that it needs to be put in perspective. I'm lower middle class myself, and while I don't feel particularly picked on, I do agree with you that the government is not being...

Hey Wav, I posted this on another thread, but it is certainly worth posting again...enjoy, it doesn't get much better thank this- Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. There are ominous signs that the Earth’s weather patterns have...

here is an interesting article for the Evangelical Environmentalists to groove on... it's a Newsweek cover story from 1975... warning about global cooling! Here is the text of Newsweek’s 1975 story on the trend toward global cooling. There are ominous signs that the Earth’s...

You can take the top and let the rest of the plant ripen, but I have found that bud that is dried when it has been chopped from the plant like that is a little harsher than bud dried ON the plant. Personally, I choose to let the cola go a little longer and wait for the rest of the plant to catch...

I would like to see impeachment, but for different reasons than Med. I think a long and drawn out impeachment process would help people see that there is no significant difference between the "two" parties, and that they are just locked in a power struggle that has nothing to do with trying to...

I just went and saw "Apocalypto," the latest Mel Gibson picture. It was easily one of the two best non-indie films I have seen all year (the other being Scorcese's "Departed.") Though the film has gotten plenty of good reviews, it has also gotten some extremely negative ones from liberal...

I'll try not to use words with more than one syllable next time, so you'll be able to understand better. Is there a thread where we can write in crayon? :hump:

BTW, how does one manage to get "banned?" I'm hoping it was the run-on sentences...

The whole "we went to war for oil" thing kind of pisses me off, because it is so clearly UNTRUE, coupled with the fact that it SHOULD BE. Where is all the cheap gas we were supposed to get by going to war for oil? I don't think we should have gone into Iraq to begin with, but WE ARE THERE...

I remember a quote from St. Augustine, where he said something to the effect of "Lord, please make me pure... but not yet." He was having an awful lot of fun sinning, and he didn't want to straighten up right away. Which is sort of how I feel about pot legalization. On a political/philosophical...

So why is the goverment so protective of legalizing marjuana Because they would lose a LOT of money if it were to become legal. Pot can be grown at home VERY EASILY by anybody, so the government would not make very much money by legalizing its sale and then taxing it; people would simply...

It's WAY to soon to make a judgement on that... but I would vote for "sucks pretty bad."

You have reached the zenith of mongoloid reasoning.

Straight up.

I'm not a cigarette smoker, but "cheers" to anyone who is able to stop any sort of anti-tobacco funding. This country would not even exist if it weren't for tobacco. Our "representatives" are hipocritical fuckwads for turning on the tobacco industry. I like the occasional cigar...and I fully...

My kid has nothing to worry about. My belief that second hand smoke is harmless has nothing to do with how I feel about smoking- I DON'T SMOKE, AND I THINK IT STINKS. It's just that after checking out the science, I have concluded that the second hand smoke propoganda is designed to A) procure...

I'm glad the movie was rejected... it was a piece of religious tripe masquerading as science. It was bad enough having my kid come home talking about "second hand smoke" dangers...

Wavels, I think you are really onto something there. The whole Evangelical Environmental movement is gaining new adherents all the time. I really think that as the traditional religions become harder to retain faith in, cultures look for something to replace it... people really do have a need to...
