We should continue to develo all and we should have more nukes. But we should not increase the cost of other fuels just to encourage it I agree totally there
Id argue the problem is both sides crying wolf is the problem... Its hard to trust the AWG champions like al gore when they think the world is literally ending in our generation and its our fault. At the same time the hardcore anti GW people who want to stick their fingers in their ears and ignore the research that is out there (the stuff thats been vetted, not the stuff that groups like this push out with all the fear mongering)
I personally dont believe in AGW, i believe that we are in a normal warming period and the earth is a big girl and can take care of herself. but at the same time i am not against making changes that will allow us to continue living our way of life*
*as long as that does not include things like killing our most stable energy sources while we do not have a better, cost effective alternative at this time
i dont know about everyone else, but I welcome the end of the hashtag. I cant stand reading news on other pages and people use twitspeak. There is no need for it, it makes it difficult to try and read. I think twitspeak is borderline the most annoying speech out there today
I dont agree with that tactic, When I mod, I dont even look at user names i mod based on the content of the post. I cant stand when people start to mod down people because of who said it, rather than what was said
in 1999 1 US dollar went for 1.30 canadian.(i only know this because I worked on the NYS thruway and we had to know this being that we would deal with canadians) not quite 5-1, and in the past few years the canadian dollar was actually stronger than ours.
and not one piece of what you said has anything to do with what I said.
Im not arguing for no taxes, im not some anarchist. I simply want the states to handle the brunt of governmental duties and the federal government to stick to its constitutional duties.
thats how it is now, If we have 50 states, all run mainly by themselves, as intended when this country was founded. Its much easier to get things done on a smaller scale that is a net benifit for the people who actually live there. for example, my taxes in NY should in no way be linked to say the schools in texas.
Our state tax burden would indeed rise, but our federal taxes would drop 10 fold
and I cant tell if you are just a troll or you just like to look for an argument where there really is none. I in no way was trying to be offensive, if you were offended by my use of the word in the context I used it, well that says more about you than it does me. I understand exactly what you said, you have done nothing but insult me and talk down to me in this entire thread without realizing that nothing i said was factually wrong, OR intended to be offensive.
as I said you are looking too deep into my comments (which Ive noticed you doing quite often lately)
I dont think you have any idea what you are talking about. all im saying is I want to follow the 10th amendment. If it is not written in the constitution, the feds have no authority on the issue. If they dont like it, make an amendment to the constitution but stop abusing things like the interstate commerce clause
Only on/. will I get modded down for wishing people get to keep what they earn
personally I want to see taxes get slashed accross the board and spending at a federal level cut by a drastic number as well. Let the people and states keep their money
Clearly you didnt read the 2nd part of my comment. I was simply making the argument that being born that way is not a good enough reason to say something is ok. No homophobia here, I have no irrational fear of gay people
I guess it all depends on where we draw the line. We are "ALL" related, in the fact that we are all nothing but stardust, I guess the question is where do we draw the line. Do we consider a labrador the same as a chiuaha? They are both dogs but they are different types of dogs. Perhaps race is the wrong word, but yes we are all humans, but asians are not the same as the irish or the african
the problem with the "born that way" argument is we can also say serial killers are "born that way" sociopaths are "born that way" Just because someone is "born that way" doesnt make it right or normal*
I am not saying it is wrong to be gay, only that the argument you are using has holes in it
Actually Genetics say YOU are the one who is wrong JMC. Years and years ago different hominids did procreate, Some of us are more neanderthal than we are erectus and viceversa.
no it really isnt. I can support homosexuals having equal rights (not special rights) but that doesnt mean I have to agree with their lifestyle choices. One can fully be a "live and let live" type of person

to the person who modded this post. Troll != i disagree

actually the majority of the world doesnt pay attention because they are living on pennies a day

no, i mean the opposite of expecting everyone else to pay for all the stuff I use. Im for personal responsibility, not a handout

I have no idea how you got that response to what I said. I said nothing about workers and corps.

Only on
care to explain??
personally I want to see taxes get slashed accross the board and spending at a federal level cut by a drastic number as well. Let the people and states keep their money
im sorry if you are offended at me using actual words. I dont care for political correctness, If we are talking about the word, its ok to say the word
Example
It is ok to discuss the reasons one should not say "nigger"
It is not ok to call someone a dumb nigger
If you cant see the difference between saying a word in a debate manor, and using it as an insult is just sad drinkypoo.
You are reading too much into my comments my friend

so, maybe you should learn to code and bring that product out. If there is a want for it, be the one to get paid on it!
The fact that you said "the N-word" instead of "nigger" but had no trouble saying "fag" says answers your own question
the problem with the "born that way" argument is we can also say serial killers are "born that way" sociopaths are "born that way"
Just because someone is "born that way" doesnt make it right or normal*

Similarly, characters who are physically disabled are very rare, unless you count grotesque cyborgs, who are invariably evil.
you havent played the new south park game. Its got both timmy AND jimmy!

why do you care if someone thinks you ride a loud Harley Davidson?
