    lets examine that statement for a second.

    how employable do you think someone is going to be if they go into the workforce having never used windows?

    yes, thats right, you just hurt their chances at getting a job all in the name of your own pet crusade.

    schools are not the place for politics of any kind.

    correct me if i'm wrong but in most countries it's ILLEGAL not to accept legal tender as payment. the reason being that refusing the local money devalues it. not sure if the USA has similar laws, i'd be suprised if they didn't.

    besides, i hate places like this, they try tell me how and with who i use my property. now the fuckers want to choose how i pay for it as well?

    Do you need a high school science lesson? well ok then....

    Simple version for simple minds.

    The sun heats the oceans which forms water vapour, which reflects heat. this heat is exchanged and interacts to create our weather (aka cold and warm fronts). other gases including C02 play a role in our atmosphere, but they aren't what cause the greenhouse effect and they don't control our weather.

    please tell me your intelligent enough to understand this, or my faith in humanities intelligence just slipped a notch.

    "Free CO2 in the air is gonna cost somebody a lot of money someday"

    like all global warming cult memebers, you have no facts to back that up, just retoric and some thin links to data that's not credible.

    the hard fact is, C02 doesn't dictate climate on earth, why is it suddenly doctrine that's it's warming the earth?

    you just confirmed everything i said - they are nothing but a anti corperate group without any sense of responsibility.

    If they really gave a shit about the environment they would be trying to HELP big business develop cleaner ways to deliever their products. Instead they do nothing but go on the attack, achieving zero gain for the environment.

    it's also very telling that they ignore any issue that doesn't involve big business.

    Fuck i wish i could put you in a picture and frame it.

    On the one hand you say greenpeace is great, but then you say they don't tackle any important environmental issues. WTF? how can they be great if they don't meet their primary function?

    you then go on to say we have too many people in the world (put your hand up if you think your one of those "too many" ?). finally you confirm my previous statments about greenpeace types by putting a link to an anti globalisation website in you sig.
