Pathetic, Gump may not be the best speller in the world.......but he was smart enough to pay taxes both real and income for 50+ years. That being said.....go fornicate yourself. The Commie (4 hrs ago | post #42)

Degreed Psychologist, One more thing.... Yes, Life Coach lost a toe working on a loading dock at the age of 15. However at that the age of 15, a court views a person as "sine mentis".....u nable to decide for themselves. What's the age for statutory rape? BINGO! Life Coach's parents sued the employer....as damned well they should have! Let me guess, if the same thing happened to your kid, assuming you're old enough to have a 15 year old kid.......you'd be apologizing to the company owner for your kid getting his loading dock bloody and for the inconvenience? Hell no! You'd be running to the phone book looking for the first slip and fall lawyer you could find to sue the evil bastard who hired your bundle of joy. Yes....Life Coach has his issues, but a stupid employer who hired a 15 year old kid and allowed him to work in an unsafe environment isn't one of them. The Commie (4 hrs ago | post #41)

American Dood, I think it's a fair compromise which is precisely why it wouldn't work. You have too many gay activists insisting on nothing less than marriage and a bunch of religious crazies who won't budge an inch. You know what happens when people get in the middle things...

Did you ever notice that it's only in the movies where government does things correctly and business does things poorly? That's not to say there isn't some scumbag business out there, but I'll put my faith in business over government. The Commie (Thursday Dec 3 | post #3)

With regard to greed being legal.....I'll bet Oliver Stone isn't donating the money he's going to make on this to widows and orphans. It'll be more anti-business schlock and of course government will ride to the rescue. The Commie (Thursday Dec 3 | post #2)

Bill Maher: Climate Change Deniers Are "So Stupid They Make ME ...

Northie, I now have what I think is a successful business. I also had a business that failed. One of most difficult things in the world when you fail is to look in the mirror and honestly assess what went wrong. The first and natural instinct is to blame outsiders for your failure. It was the economy, the markets, big corporations squashing me and on and on. There are millions of excuses and none of them are very good. So when these scientists "feel" they are under attack by "opponents ", it is not only natural but predictable. I doubt any of these scientists will say they are losing or lost public opinion because they disposed of data, dismissed contradictory evidence and/or weren't forthcoming with data requested under Freedom of Information. No......that would involve some degree of honesty. It's much easier to blame "big oil", "the corporations" and "the deniers" for their problems. The Commie (Thursday Dec 3 | post #2339)

Folks, This global warming hype and the damning emails "brought to light" by a "concerned whistle-blower " suggest....... There is an extreme degree of collusion between the government, media and academia. It's hard to overlook the 800-pound gorilla in the room. The Commie (Thursday Dec 3 | post #2338)

Northie, The term "highly reviewed" becomes meaningless when the reviewers are unethical and contradictory evidence is dismissed by them without merit. I'm not buying the "concerted attacks" by the energy industry either. I don't see where the energy industry takes a hit in the profit margins if anti-global warming legislation is enacted. Industry will pass along the increased taxes to the consumer. What I do see however is a pipeline of revenue to ALL governments worldwide from the increased taxes placed on energy. From what I see, the energy industry has little to lose financially. However, the governments stand to lose plenty if anti-global warming legislation ISN'T enacted. As such, the government is NOT a dispassionate player letting the chips fall where they may and taking it from there. All governments have a VERY BIG financial interest in the outcome. I'm long past the belief that government is the watchdog out there protecting the little guy and the planet from harm. When it comes to money government is every bit as scummy and conniving as any industry. That also goes for the scientists who have been getting millions in research dollars. What I find most perplexing is that the incriminating emails were "stolen" by "hackers ". However, if there were incriminating emails from the energy industry, they would be "brought to light" by a concerned "whistle-blow er". It's funny how ABC, CBS, NBC and CNN gave tons of coverage to the Tiger Woods affair but not one mention of the incriminating emails........and some people call Fox "Faux News"?

Cue, I was doing some consulting work for an investment bank. Despite the bashing the USA takes over its environmental regulations, environmental regulations in other parts of the world are effectively nonexistent. The investment bank was worried that somehow, someway they'd be sucked into a liability loop (Deep Pockets Theory), so I went down there to make sure that they were following ISO 14000 guidelines. It is my understanding that Brazilian women spend more money on cosmetics and lingerie than any other nationality. Based on what I saw, I had to agree. The Commie (Wednesday Dec 2 | post #31517)

Brian_G, I have a better idea.....let's get back to a solid sense of ethics and dispose of moral relativism. The biggest crisis in this country is its lack of ethics and its willingness to do whatever means necessary to promote an agenda. The Commie (Wednesday Dec 2 | post #2319)

Tournefort, What we have here is a situation where Ph.D.s make statements and a large majority of the population presumes those statements to be true just because these people have a Ph.D.! I swear that some people would believe 1 + 1 would equal 3 at the person with the Ph.D. said so. Again it's the power dynamic. These people recognize they have power in the form of perceived intelligence. However, education and intelligence is no guarantee of good ethics. The Commie (Wednesday Dec 2 | post #2318)
