Explaining Capitalism

[Hedgehog]

Three questions for you I-One:

1. If alternative fuels are a "pipe dream", why have Bush (finally) started to make room in the budget for investments in it?

2. Why is Bush talking about becoming less dependent on oil, if alternative fuels aren't anything that will solve the problem?

3. How do you know that alternative fuel sources cannot work?

Hedge, don't you realize that I-One only regurgitates Limbaugh with scratch and sniffs errrr copy and posts?
He has NO original thoughts.

Why didn't you call out laughing sam cardio? You never change do you

I haven't read any of "laughing sam's" posts. Show me where he blames "EVERYTHING" on the other party.

Also, does he advocate the killing of people with different political views than his own?

Did he accuse a board member of lying about being a doctor, serving in Iraq and accuse him of spamming his board with kiddie porn simply because he has a different political opinion than he does?

If "laughing sam" has done those things then I'll be the first one to call him out.

BTW, the fact that you haven't called out Mr. Hate for accusing Enigma of the kiddie porn charges is proof positive that you never change. If Enigma thought the way you think and someone called him out by saying he was lying about being a doctor and serving in Iraq you'd crucify that person. Since Enigma doesn't think like you think you've been mute on Mr. Hate's pathetic accusations. Where is your sense of kinship with a fellow service member, not to mention one that was saving wounded soldiers?

I guess you never change.

Because he's a typical Liberal who passes the buck and believes things that happens is everyone else's fault but their own!

And in the mother of all ironies our resident moron posts another winner.

Hey Mr. Hate, it's rather sad that you could be in your 40's and not be intelligent enough to see the hypocrisy in your posts.

P.S. How's your "Enigma is a kiddie porn spammer, he lied about being a doctor and he never served in Iraq" investigation working out for you? Are you any closer to some actual proof or was that all just hate fueled propaganda? You know, your normal bile.

Yes, it's seems to be Mr I's M.O.

Honestly puss, I didn't know the whole stroy behind this kiddie porn stuff and even though Mr I might be on my "team" I tend to ignore him. Sorry dog, I'll sick him next time.

What's funny is that Coach posts the thread letting people read and decipher on their own instead of paraphrasing in his own words and he gets crap for it.  Cool.

Yeah he does..... but that's all he usually does, post some lengthy transcript of oxy-cotton induced gibberish and when it's up to him to come up with some of his own thoughts it's always some kindergarten level lug blaming a stereotype of libs. 

So that's why he gets crap for it.

Any defense of Mr. Hate in this instance was going to be a weak one but this little ditty was particularly bad. His copy and pastes are lengthy and convoluted transcripts taken from the biggest hypocritical blowhard in the Republican party. Even someone with your political point of view must be able to see that.

Oz, Cardio...I realize your feelings for Joe but he brings up a controversial figure, posts the transcript and sparks discussion.  What's disheartening is that people simply dismiss the transcript because of the source when what they should do (and this is a stretch for most Americans) is read what the person has to say and if they disagree then tear it apart, if not then say why you agree.  That would be my challenge to everyone who has a problem with this.  If the length is the problem then I would say that you should follow my advice about reading and critiquing and worry about witty comments about Coach second.

He pasted what 2500 words?   Don't you think he could have given a summary of it in his own words in maybe 200 words?

I have no problem whatsoever with I-One posting Limbaugh scripts.

In fact, I think there's a value to it.

But I think if he copy and pastes something, he should at least be prepared to discuss and answer the statements in the text he posted?

If either you or I would post a text from someone we thought represented our thoughts, I think both of us would be prepared to answer to inquiries about the statements in that text.

I know I would and I am sure you would too.  I know Coach is a busy guy with a business that moves all day.  I am sure he would love to sit and post longer posts but is short on time.  I won't sit here and defend him because he can do that himself, but will only try and give another perspective on the situation.  If anyone else wishes to post in a similar fashion, I am sure nobody will trash them for it.

OK, that's a valid point but can you really expect us to read those huge transcripts?

And like it or not Limbaugh rightfully so has very little to no credibility with many many people so posting his transcripts sends up an immediate red flag.

You make a good point though and if it were anyone else besides Mr. Hate or in some circumstances 240 posting CT related stuff I would agree completely.

[Decker]

Posting a large transcript does not serve this forum well.  The goal should be to narrow the topic to the degree necessary to convey the idea.

Nobody has time or wants to read the great american novel just b/c it carries with it a topic sentence that always denigrates liberals or democrats.

Hello.

I don't mean to take the conversation off course, but tell me what you think of the following statements:

1. Capitalism is based on the supposition (not to be confused with supository) that the earth contains infinite resources;

2. A lot of money in the hands of a lot of people is a good thing; and

3. The free market economy is the perfect equilibrium.

Later.

All three sound like oversimplifications. 

[Slapper]

The are indeed, although they are the pillars of what we know as capitalism. It is OBVIOUS that the earth contains FINITE resources, that a lot of money in the hands of a lot of people = inflation, and that the free market economy is the biggest bunch of shit since Jesus' time.

It's all about perception.

Three questions for you I-One:

1. If alternative fuels are a "pipe dream", why have Bush (finally) started to make room in the budget for investments in it?

Because he has to bend to the will of the people, they want money invested in green energy he has to do something.

2. Why is Bush talking about becoming less dependent on oil, if alternative fuels aren't anything that will solve the problem?

Probably because he has some intentions of drilling in alaska or other places in the us.

3. How do you know that alternative fuel sources cannot work?

Some do it's the scale that matters, our oil consumption is tremendous you can power a car with hydrogen but can you provide it for millions of cars on a day to day basis without interruption?
