Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize

[Podunkfla]

There is money in hysteria and environmentalist groups know this. It is all to easy to be convinced there is a problem when you listen to the person screaming the loudest and don’t take time to look at the data and form your own conclusion.
But if you want to throw your money at a made-up problem, be my guest.

In-fact, I can rid your house of this Bogeyman for just 5 easy payments of $29.99…

Only religious fanatics think the world is only 8000 years old.

Actually, it appears that this billions of years old" talk is also is just more speculation on the part of so called "scientists" -- probably with some kind of "agenda."

There are many scholars and researchers who peg the earth's age at between 6,000 and 8,000 years old.

Gore wins the Peace Price, and Bush is recorded saying, "Childrens can learn."
Gee, let's see? Who do I trust with actually having a BRAIN!?

It's obvious who is the more articulate. Hitler was very articulate. Would you trust him?

It simply KILLS Republicans that by all measures, Clinton was the most succesful president in history.

Successful? What exactly did he DO?

Bush the worst. And Clinton's VP may have lost his bid for the head job, but is still briilliant.

Brilliant enough to recognize that each subsequent Florida recount was resulting in more and more votes for Bush. (I watched all night and Gore never had the lead ONCE and yet MSNBC continued to paint Florida blue. No media bias here.) But it simply KILLS Democrats that Bush beat Gore fair & square (See Laredo's post above). And that was without counting the absentee ballots of the military. So much for how Democrats support the troops. And he beat Kerry by a landslide, so as you said, Ira, GET OVER IT! (And this from a guy who is no longer a Republican.)

The majority of this country isn't falling for these BS Limbaugh-type attacks anymore.

Speaking of Rush, did you see how he's auctioning off the smear letter "Dingy Harry" Reid and forty other Democrats signed trying to get him fired? Up to over $46,000 now, proceeds to go to the Marine Corps-Law Enforcement Foundation. Now THAT's what I call supporting the troops!

BTW, back in January you wrote this about WalMart:

Prices will not go down one penny because of this, you will NOT be better served as a customer, and as I've said a million times before about this company, it is another example of illegal employment practices that the f*cking state and federal regulatory agencies simply decide to ignore.

Thank GOD the Democrats are in power now--because this sh** IS going to stop.

So how's that workin' out for ya?

i thought you weren't posting to this thread anymore??

[RiffRaff]

Wasn't posting about global warming.

[cguardsman]

Any how, this is no place for this argument, and it's bound to go bad so I am not going to post to this thread anymore.

just pointing it out

[RiffRaff]

I just can't keep away from some comments. Magical Thinkingbs is one of them.

GET OVER IT!

The world sure ain't.

Sorry, but I just can't help myself.

I hope we all live long enough to read the history books. It could (and probably will) get worse soon.

Gore is a brilliant liar (but he is brilliant.) Having a PHD in everything and inventing the Internet and the Global (man made) warming scenerio has to be a burden on the guy. Sorry, but I do not trust that man.

What about all of the "liars" who where elected to congress. We'll see how it all shakes out in the end. We are surely not smart enough to figure it out on our own.

BTW, read the entire Limbaugh issue and then see if it still makes sence for the Federal government to try to destroy a private citizen for using the right of free speech that is protected by the soldiers that he supports. (the ones that he supports, not the one phony one that started it all.)

Are you saying the arctic ice caps are not melting?

[sandysocks]

The reason why Al Gore won the peace prize is because he pushed for what he believed (long before most believe) was factual data predicting climate change. Commiting political suicide in the process because he believed in his convictions. He won the peace prize because he did all that and he was right.
At the same time other politicians, and FUD profiteers like Rush Limbaugh, were making the choice of trading cash now for the world's future.
Thats why he won the prize and rightly so.

On that note, I find it a telling display of integrity and character how Imus handled his gaff remarks with humility, regret, and self-realization.
Then compare that to Limbaugh's gaff and how he handled it by lying (yes, I have heard the whole unedited broadcast), pomposity, and self-promotion.

Rush is an embarassement to all decent people.

Sandysocks, you have been a member of this forum for over a month and not one of your posts has been related to Teardrops or Tiny Trailers. First the fireams thread and now this one.

I don't have a dog in this fight. Just asking.

Folks, this argument is pointless. No matter how overwhelming ANY science is, people still believe what they want to believe.

And, having Al Gore on one side of any argument makes it even more pointless to argue, because even if the science is irrefutable, some folks are going to refuse to believe it just because Al Gore says it's true.

Even though I think Gore has it basically right, I think he's kicking a dead horse. First, he's too disliked in certain circles to ever be heard in those circles. The message won't be taken seriously if the messenger isn't taken seriously. I also think it's highly unlikely the human race is going to do anything to change unless we are forced to. Like I said before, it's going to be my neighbor's new baby who will have to deal with this issue if the science is right. If Global Warming is real, and we are a major cause of it, I'll be dead an buried when it's time to pay the piper. That will give them one more reason to despise my generation.

One of my own personal beliefs is that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Ben Franklin said that. People generally like Ben Franklin, so it's not a controversial sentiment. If Al Gore had said it, we'd have a thread arguing about whether an ounce of prevention is really worth a pound of cure, with links to web-sites and everything. That's the reality of being Al Gore.

I'll leave you with this funny quote from Lewis Black. "The Republicans are the party of bad ideas. The Democrats are the party of no ideas."

I am a very religious person and I don’t know when or how the earth was created. ( I do have a graduate degree though, so I guess that makes me somewhat intelligent lol). The point is I wasn’t around when it created! Nor were my parents apes either (some may want to debate that as well, but not the point). That stuff is for late night insomnia and research grants. However, I have to live in the here and now along with a daughter who is 11 yrs old. I want her to have a world worth living in even if that means I consume less. First, let me say I am no Al Gore lover (Al Gore tolerater) and have no political agenda as far as dem / repubs. Pick on Al Gore all you want, but where is your movie, your bucks, your activism? Many people would rather be the armchair critic (whether religious, political, or sports enthusiast), but until you are ready to make the sacrifice and endure the critics, you’re just another voice among many. – Conserve, drive less, recycle – It might not save the earth, but you will be a better person for it. God save the penguins and fewer cows farts (see previous posts)

Sorry you see it that way. You need to read it again. I failed to see what he is lying about.

His reaction to the Senate of the US discredting a private citizen is a little too strong for me. Stalin would have been proud. Rush must be a such huge threat to the truth that the opposition party polititions just can stand it.

This the great thing about living in America: the ability to listen and interpret things differently.
I guess we differ (respectfully) on that point.
I still respect your opinion.
