Climate Change Discussion

[Chuck52]

Tch, Tch, IH. No political comments. Besides, I'd rather ride with Ted (who probably never drives himself anymore) than hunt with Quick Draw Cheney.

So you would rather drown in a car while the driver waits hours to notify anyone that you are in there, than get a few pellets in the face and have immediate medical attention? Just trying to make sure I understand.

This discussion has skirted some pretty touch areas for lots of folks here and done so pretty well so far without bursting into flames. Coming back on an analogy that the first poster probably should not have made with a response that attaches a sarcastic nickname to one of the people involved doesn't seem productive.

Geez, I thought he was being kind with "quick draw" I could think of a few that would get me censored for sure!

IH, no problem. LMTC, go back through the postings on this thread and count the times a certain prominent politician has been mentioned in less than complimentary terms. It's just somewhat amusing that political barbs are only political barbs in one direction. And, no, I don't think I'd be in any particular danger riding in the back seat with Ted while his driver handles the wheel. I'd walk if he were driving himself!

I have followed the entire thread. Please note my ENTIRE post in which I stated that I thought the original post, to which you were responding, probably should not have been made as well. How is that one direction?

The fact remains that any of those kinds of things just increase the chances of this thread bursting into flames, so why even go there? You seem to be saying "well, they threw a barb, so why can't I?" Well, I suppose you can if that's what you want to do. Have at it.

There is one politician who's the main figure head for the Global Warming movement. We all know who he is without mentinoning his name.

He's also the biggest hypocryte about what we should do to stop Global Warming, while he's flying around in private jets and motorcades of SUV's. He has two mansions that he heats and cools year round without even living in eigther one for much of the year, yet he tells us to not cool our heat our homes.

Call it what you want, but nothing anybody has said can undo the damage his own actions have proven that he doesn't belive in what he's saying.

Right now he's spent over half a million dollars of his own money to get an Oscar for his movie. If his movie had any merrit, why would he have to be wining and dining the judges? He'll probably win an Oscor for it too.

Just because somebody calls it politics doesn't make it so. He's not in office and when he was in office, he didn't do anything that he's telling everybody else to do. Now that he's out of politics, he's got all the answers.

Those who have chosen to believe his contridictions, hypocry, and lies are the ones making this about politics. He's just making a ton of cash off of it and probably have a great time at it!!!

LMTC,

There are not supposed to be political discussions on this or any other forum on TBN, but you'd just about have to wear blinders not to see that snide comments about liberal politicians are routinely passed by without comment, while any response draws flack. I choose, occasionally, to respond to these in the vain hope that those who so trespass will see the light. Call me naive. I don't have a real problem with IH344 and his comment, which is why I responded in what I thought to be a light-hearted manner. And now here you are supporting my thesis. Yes indeedie, tit for tat is childish, but sometimes you just want to point out that tat IS tat.

Kennedy killed a woman while driving drunk. Today in NC he would be charged with at least a misdomeaner and very possbily a Second Degree Homicide.

Cheney was involved in a hunting accident not a criminal act.

There is just a slight difference between the two men's actions . Both of these actions are not pertinent to the Global Warming discussion that I can see at the moment.

Gore is making money off of Global Warming and it looks like he might get a Ph.d because of his movie. Seems like he fits into the Global Warming conversation and could be used to support either side of the discussion.

Being given a Ph.d for a movie is kinda interesting on a bunch of different levels.

Later,
Dan

Ok, here is the solution if someone can figure out how to get it on the "Reply to thread" button.
