Hello,
THIS is selling. This is the way to save everything.
Try also selling energy independence, so that no foreign powers can't hold us over a barrel and we no longer need to go to war to secure energy resources.
And whatever alternative energy costs, we can be 100% certain that it will cost less than fossil fuels in the long run.
This is all saleable, it's all common sense, and nobody has to buy Global Warming if they don't want to.

Y'all get sooooo wrapped up in fighting for a side ya can't see the forest for the trees...
30% of the population of Detroit CAN'T EVEN READ. You know what they want??? They want cheaper drugs, and probably legal prostitution.
Maybe half of the babies in that Hospitial in Tennesee born addicted....
You think their parents give a good goddamn about cleaner air or water??OR ENERGY INDEPENDENCE??
How much of our population is in jail at any given time??
Know what they care about??
GETTING OUT OF JAIL. So they can be dumassess and do it again as sooon as possible.
You people even have a clue what any of the riots were about for the last year or so?? THOSE PEOPLE CARED ABOUT MONEY AND FREEDOM FROM TYRANNY.
One out of every four people has a serious mental disorder.
THEY CARE ABOUT NOT GIVING IN TO THE VOICES THAT TELL THEM TO KILL THEIR UPPITY ASS NEIGHBOR WHO CARES MORE ABOUT A ROCK THAT WAS DOOMED FROM THE MOMENT WE LANDED ON IT, THAN A PERSON IN THEIR OWN FRONT YARD.
For every one of you who has done something to try to help, there are hundred schmucks who'd burn down a forest to make one US dollar.
Sit and argue about it in an obscure corner of the internet....That'll show 'em.
I don't doubt that we are royally fucking up the planet.
I do doubt y'alls grasp of the inability to do anything about it.

There. I just used the same sort of junk science tactics that the AGW zealots have been pushing on us.
Where's my million dollar grant ?
Yes.... in Rappy "logic" a temperature drop in a single day is the exact same thing as years of research around the world by hundreds of scientists.
Does it hurt to be that stupid, I wonder? Probably not, ignorance is bliss, they say.
Both funny and sad to watch as you harshly react to your holy ox being gored.
There is no Santa Clause either. Hate to break the news to ya, kid.

NewOld, I just found your post. Copying anything that isn't interactive or not on YouTube is easy. Just right-click on the item, copy the URL and paste it. Unless it's something like a .png, which will only show up as its URL. Just FYI.
KPO, what "other website"? I'm assuming it's not the other version of FFF, because I believe everything shows up in both...did you mean "other forum", or is there some other website Raptor's on that you're on too? Just curious is all.
Story, there is no Rappy "logic", as we all know. He just posts whatever comes into his head (or he's swallowed from FauxNews, etc.) that snarks against whatever anyone else posts...if they're liberal, that is.
Uh, Wish:Quote:
I do now. Anything we do merely staves off the inevitable, I realize now. It would take the entire world working together to even stave it off for very long, but hopefully even if that happened (which it won't), they wouldn't stave it off long enough to find another planet we can fuck up.
I do doubt y'alls grasp of the inability to do anything about it.

BIGDAMN, so it's not what I "did" that bothers you, it's my "motivation"?
Yeah, whatever.
BTW- if you're so smart, how rich ARE you, exactly?

NIKI et al... the problem isn't "people". Worldwide, most people are aware of the problem and want to do something about it. The problem is that any progress made by a hundred million "people" can be UNDONE by just a few in power.... the President of the USA, some assholes in Congress, the Chinese central committee, or some misguided dictator in Africa or the ME, and the bankers and corporatists who enable them. It is THOSE people... the less than 0.01% who control entire nations and/or the world through dint of guns, money, and media... who are causing the problem.
Focus.
Stop THOSE people, and the problem will be solved.

Damn right it's your motivation. How can you continually rail against the capitalists when you are profiting from the fact that some people will no longer be able to afford food? How do you justify this obviously glaring double standard?

What a perfectly capitalistic question that is Signy. Welcome to the "dark side", Ms. Rand would be proud.

BIGDAMN, your criticism seems somewhat schizophrenic. If you came to me and said Yanno what? I've found there is actually more money to be made in cooperation/ green energy/ sustainable development/ peaceful resolution than conflict/ fossil fuels/ unsustainable development/ war... I don't believe in it but, damn, it "works" in MY world I'd say GREAT! Hop on board! Glad to have you!.
Why the anger? Don't like being hoist on your own petard? You must not like your petard very much, then.
Quote:And if I refuse to profit, will that make food more affordable for everyone? Starvation will only end when food is produced to feed people, NOT to make a profit. The rules of the game would need to be changed. Individual action is often ineffective. As the saying goes, Hitler would never have been stopped by dumpster-diving.

I'm not a liberal, as you might like to pigeonhole anyone to your left. I try to be a realist, and - as a realist- I realize I have to live by YOUR rules, not by the rules I would like to see implemented. Unlike some ppl here I don't live in my head, yanno? I'm ALWAYS banging my ideas against the real world. This investment of mine was an experiment, and a successful one. It showed me that I know what's happening well enough to predict the future.

BTW- NIKI< if you have any influence at all in the Occupy movement, can you bring up the point that it HAS to get political?
I know politics is a dirty word, but the world cannot be changed by.. or run on... participatory democracy and consensus-building. It's very nice and homelike and welcoming to all members, but it is ineffective and winds up as a "feel-good" process.

I react harshly to idiots who insist their belief trump science, yes. Good catch.
And now Science = Santa Claus, in Rappyland.
You even make the zealots look mellow sometimes.
Note to anyone - Please pity the poor, poor wittle Rappyboy. He's feeling put upon lately, what with all those facts disagreeing with what he believes.
