Politics & Government - 13 October 2007

Why are they so confused about facts.
I read so many false statements from all levels of liberalism. They misrepresent the conservative postion.
Conservatives do beleive that global warming is taking place. Most will argue that the globe has been warming since the begining of the end of the last Ice Age. (if not most of us would be sitting on ice)
Basically Consevatives believe global warming is taking place but disagree as to the cause.
Some facts
About a 0.6 degree warming in the last 120 years
about 45% due to green house gasses
of that 45% about 30% of that is due to carbon dioxide.
Burning fossil fuels releases crabon dioxide that would eventually be relased as methane. Methane is about 200,000 times more effective green house gass and it can not be filtered naturally and does not break down.

If Liberals are so willing to misrepresnt the Conservative postion wich is in black and white. How are we not supose to think they are misreprestning fuzzy scince.

House #1
A 20 room mansion ( not including 8 bathrooms heated by natural gas. Add on a pool ( and a pool house) and a
separate guest house, all heated by gas.

In one month this residence consumes more energy than the average American household does in a year. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2400.
In natural gas alone, this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home.

This house is not situated in a Northern or Midwestern "snow belt" area. It's in the South.
~~~
House #2

Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university.

This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide.

The house is 4,000 square feet ( 4 bedrooms ) and is nestled on an arid, high prairie in the American southwest.

A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat-pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F. ) heats the house in the winter and cools it in the summer.

The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or
natural gas and it consumes one-quarter electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system.

Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then
irrigates the land surrounding the house.

Surrounding flowers and shrubs native to the area enable the property to blend into the surrounding rural landscape.

HOUSE #1 is outside of Nashville, Tennessee; it is the abode of the "environmentalist" Al Gore.

HOUSE #2 is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas; it is the residence the of the President of the United States, George W. Bush.

Links below back up the facts of the 2 houses.

I think it should. They knew that cell phones and driving are dangerous. It's a felony if they are drunk.

I am finding the whole political debate pretty funny. I also am wondering if some obscure Bulgarian scientist had made "Inconvenient Truth" and won the Prize, would people demonize his winning it?

For the record (since people here always make their assumptions), I am a liberal, but I have no affection for Al Gore. And I certainly don't think he should have won a Nobel Peace Prize for basically making a movie about how cool he is with a PowerPoint presentation about the environment thrown in. I agree that the information presented is important and relevant (i.e. global warming seems real enough to me), but I'm not sure it rises to the level of the Nobel Prize.

Okay, i have nothing against women. but i do not want to put my life in the hands of a woman who is in hand to hand combat, when the guy fighting her has a 60% more chance of winning.

questions:

1.Do you bealeve Women should be aloud in the military?

2. do you bealeve they should be restricted to certain roles?

3.Why the hell in Basic Training i got 10 seconds in the shower and women got 10 minutes? I think that is screw'd.

4.don't you think there's something weird having a female officer in command of you? i mean seriously, geting yelled at by a woman just doesnt have the touch if it was a male sergeant. I mean, They sound like girls(pun). They scream like em. and they are certainly weaker then me. don't get me wrong, There are smart women out there.

I bealeve that The solution to the women question is restricted roles, and entire Female divisions. wich would lower rape, Abuse etc.

gotta remember, we carry 60-90 pounds. physicaly we are 60% better then women.

When I was in the military I was sexually assaulted, reported it, was released for the military (not becuase of the assault), and was still working with the military to pursue with charges but when I was to testify the military contacted me to tell me that they were not going to go through with the court marshell and was just going to release him from the military. Am I able to persue charges outside of the military? It never went to court or anything like that. This has really effected me and I feel that I need to see closer on this matter. Thank you.

Well i woke up today to find out i had been robbed... me and my fella had bought ourselves nice bicycles to help us get fit and well, three weeks after we brought them home, they've been stolen.

We live in a posh apparentment block, electric gates on the parking and our own padlocked bike shed... and they managed to get in, bend the metal bike she lock and break the bike chains and off they went.

I phoned the police and they haven't arranged to come round or anything. They simply stated they don't have the man hours to check the CCTV footage.

So now i'm angry.
Angry that i pay for a secure parking area and the appartment not admitting to any responsibility.
Angry that the police have given up before tyring. Angry that i only had them for three weeks.
Angry people can justify it to themselves that they can help themselves to other peoples property.
Angry that people will buy stolen goods.
Angry that someone else is going to enjoy riding my bicycle. Angry they are not insured.

Once there was a British admiral who always wore a red coat when they were in a battle. One day one of his men asked why he always put on the red coat when they were in battle. The admiral replied, "That's so if I am wounded then neither the enemy or my crew will realize I've been hurt". And using this principle, to this day, French officers have always worn brown pants!
