I know everyone that lives here in the U.S. is going to vote tomorrow. I mean, what kind of an idiot wouldn't? So my question is, who are you going to vote for? If you're not in the U.S., who WOULD you vote for and why?

I'm really curious to know what people in other countries think of our debacle of a political process. You can bet your asses it's going to get weird after tomorrow. I don't think we're going to know who the next President is until some time in January.

You can bet your ass I'm going to vote (I just signed on here to post pretty much the same thing but the main man beat me too it). More people than ever have signed up to vote, now we can only pray that they use their right and do just that. Could be record setting year. I myself live in D.C. and the political climate here is HOT. I'm more than a little bit worried that a riot will break out of that fucker Bush wins. Though apperantly my Green Bay Packers have already decided that Kerry has won. Please people go out on vote, for christ sakes you can even get out of an hour or two of work to do it. This farce of an admin. has making a fool out of 'Merica for far too long. And as far as I'm concerned I want Bush and his fucking cronies the fuck outta my country. We have the sons and daughters of America dying for false reasons, dying for fucking oil and a rich mans wallet. We have alienated over half the world. (Let's not forget Poland)You want to stop a terrorist then go vote for Kerry and get the terrorist out of office. Please please please use your right as a citizen of this country and vote. Drag a drunk/high/stupid non-voteing friend with you and make him/her vote. This is rapidly becoming an Orwellian nightmare. Bush and Co. bring 'Doublespeak' to a new level. Fuck the 'Clear Skies Initiative', fuck a 600 dollar check, fuck peace thru bombs, fuck cutting down forests to stop forest fires, fuck insane tax cuts for the rich, fuck them spending OUR medicare (none of us are getting any younger) and FUCK BUSH. No Bush isn't the source of all our problems but his track record inidcates that he will continue to do insane fucked up shit and getting voted back into office is only going to make him and co. feel more secure at how stupid and easily manipulated Americans are, think the last 4 years was bad...I just hope it dosn't come to another four years. GO VOTE!!!!

The US has been pretty self-suficient historically, and has rarely had to go to war to get what it needs so all of a sudden people are up in arms about the war for oil. Frankly, I say kill 'em all. If we got the $$, and we got the bombs, then let's get the oil too. But I hate Bush too. And, I live in Funkytown, FL where Jeb Bush has managed to fuck up our state. Not once, but twice he has interfered to keep two different vegetative women alive against the family's wishes. Not to mention the anti-abortion stance he and his brother have. And George is a fucking moron. I don't like Kerry either, but I don't want to give away my vote by voting for Nader. So I will be voting for Kerry. The majority of new registered voters in FL are Democrats. And already, they are having problems with the absentee ballots and I heard something on the news about Republican lawyers showing up at the polls to challenge the validity of Democratic registrations. Is that even fucking legal? I have my voter registration card and my license, if someone tries to challenge mine I will have to rip their balls off. It's going to be fun voting in FL at noon when I get out of the hospital tomorrow.

As far as other countries are concerned, for the most part they think ALL us US citizens are pro-Bush since he is the president. I never voted for Bush, I never would, and I may get a vote tomorrow but I don't have any control over what the gov't does here. I could devote my life to politics I suppose, but I have other things to do with my time. Like work and pay my fucking taxes.

rat i refuse to believe that you're that stupid... what kind of attitude is that... you just supported every war atrocity ever committed, you just said what saddam did to kuwait is ok, what bin ladin did to US is ok, what happens every day in Africa or any other war torn shit stain on the face of the earth is A OK with rat because hey... one side has the bombs and guns so why shouldn't they take every measly cent from everyone else, not like they can do anything about it... well guess what THEY CAN DO SHIT ABOUT IT, and the firmer the hold america has on the world the more desperate people get, I’m in no way advocating suicide bombers but what the fuck do u think that is? desperation, it's not for allah it's a bunch of desperate individuals who have nothing to live for but to die satisfied that american blood will stain the ground that night

its alot more than 5 cents more per gallon. way to oversimplify. i dont pay taxes- they are taken from me. To give everybody the same benefits, and same access to health care- like socialized medicine that is working sooo well for Canada; would make us commies or socialists. Funny that your politicians come here for doctor visits because they cant fucking get in up there. What do you think I am doing by nursing? It's one small way to benefit the needy and my community. One small drop in the bucket along with my tiny little vote for someone I hate just a little bit less than the other guy. Oh yeah, and fuck Africa too. The only thing they ever contributed to us were slaves and AIDS, and slavery was abolished long ago. My government is not necessaily the best, but its one I used to and I able to live a pretty decent life. Immigrants-WHAT? Yeah, our WHOLE country is made up of people DYING to live here. Except for the Indians who we killed most of then gave casino's. See? They should have fought better. Survival of the fittest and all that.

Well either way there will be pissed of people, if riots broke out they would few and far between. I am more afraid of it being like 2000's election, the nation is already divided by the election another debacle would make it ten times as worse. Then, there is the economic problems that would arise, no one likes to buy shit when a major election has gone bad, the dow would dip big time. Lastly, not that I care that much, but the rest of the world would think even less of us if we screw another election up. How can we help other countries do it if we can't even do it.

I'd say that's a stronger comment on their regard for Kerry than anything else.

Face it, the Dems seemed to be smoking crack when it came to fielding candidates this cycle. Dean seemed briefly credible - certainly charismatic and interesting - before his hysteric episode. Then out of nowhere comes Kerry - who the fuck IS this guy? Some career D.C. tool whose voting record out-liberals Mr. Liberal, Ted Kennedy. Yeah, HE'LL appeal to the moderate majority. And everybody suspects that it's his wife Tuh-raaaay-za who's the one that wears the pants in that household.

All Kerry brought to the ring was a slick tongue and a self-exaggerated war-hero-cum-protester posture. He claimed to "have a plan" for this, and a plan for that. Too bad he never went into exactly what any of those plans were. And his playing up of a few Band-Aided scratches inflicted by one of HIS OWN grenades he set off accidentally not only didn't impress anybody, it offended more than a few authentic Purple Heart-earners and their friends and family.

So if you want to boil down this election: the fuck-off-Kerry-you-poseur bloc outnumbered the anyone-but-Bush haters. The MTV vote didn't rock at all but proved again to be politically inert with a turnout of only, what, about 24% in that age group?

And the devil known prevailed. :twisted:

11-06-2004, 03:40 AM
Various from the Doc - not to pick on him particularly but they beg comment:

Why do you believe that combat experience is an important Presidential qualification? (Although I have to say Kerry's exact history in that regard is better described as having briefly been in a "war situation" rather than "combat experience"). So did you vote for Dole over Clinton in '96?

hes (Bush) got too many buddies in corprate america to do that, good ole out sourcing lines the pockets and makes friend at the same time.
What, you think Bush is behind the outsourcing movement prevalent in the IT/customer service sectors?

As the proverb goes, be careful what you wish for. Would you really care to personally make up the difference in lost income tax revenue? Ever thought about how much that might be?

In 1998, the top 1% of income earners in the U.S. accounted for 35% of income taxes collected by the IRS. This top 1% doesn't include just the hyper-rich like Gates but also those who earn 'only' $400,000 and up - almost half of which (46%) make their money from a self-owned business.

By contrast, the lower 50% of income earners accounted for just 5% of taxes collected.

Put in simpler terms: out of any 100 people, on the average just 1 of them alone pays over one-third of the collective tax bill; 50 account for just one-twentieth, and the other 49 account for the remaining three-fifths.

Does any one of those 99 people really want to make up the respective difference of that lost 35%? Raise your hand if you do.

So when some pandering politician accuses that this or that tax cut "only benefits the rich" and "gives nothing to the poor" - well, who do you think is paying the most in taxes, genius? And who's paying practically nothing? Would it make more sense for those who pay most get the least benefit, and vica versa instead? As bad as their cynicism is for selling such bullshit, what's worse is the ignorance and gullibility by so many who buy it.

As for the poor....sympathize if you want, but don't let it cloud the facts. Umpteen trillions of dollars (I don't know the exact figure - if anyone does, jump in here) have been spent on the poor over the last 35-some years since Johnson declared the "War on Poverty". The result? More so-called poor people than ever. Throwing cash at the poor hasn't made them un-poor - or, if it has to any extent, it doesn't prevent even greater numbers of fresh poor people from coming up behind them.

And just what is "poor", anyway? There's one definition of poverty based on household headcount divided by household income. Whatever that number threshold is, in reality being poor in the U.S. is still doing better materially than being middle-class in many other countries. You can be classified poor and still have cable TV and a car. Maybe it's just basic cable, and the car is a piece of shit, but it runs and gets you where you're going.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems everytime I'm confronted with some televised or printed "personal interest" sob-story bit about some poor family, there's always a bunch of children in the picture. Did these hard-luck cases think serial procreation was an entitlement? That raising children is cheap and easy? Never heard of a thing called contraception? Bullshit.

I don't think poverty is about money. Lack of disposable income isn't the cause, but a symptom. It's about a mindset. All the time I find myself held up in line at a convenience store behind some obviously not-well-to-do type who's lingering over $10, $20 or more in lottery ticket choices. I'm quite sure they've never spent a moment's thought about saving that money weekly, and how much that would grow to over time with interest. They choose to chase a million-dollar payoff that'll never come versus an investment plan that's absolutely sure money.

Then there's these paycheck-cashing outfits for people who apparently don't have checking accounts because they can't afford them. Huh? Any bank around offers basic checking accounts with no minumum deposit for what, $8 - $10/month? How is that more expensive than paying a 3% or more fee to the shysters to cash your paycheck, however small?

I don't have the solution to poverty, but the politicians have proven that they don't, either, and should just shut the fuck up about the whole subject. If you think you've got the answer, Doc, I'd love to hear it.

I'm gonna make it really simple right here, if you voted for Bush this year it wasn't just a bad choice, it's a character flaw. If you want a bunch of facts spewed out at you I'll be more than happy to give them too you, but at this point if you don't know better it's because you are a complete, and I mean in all ways possible, ignorant moron. Now I'm not saying Kerry was awesome, in fact he's a douchebag, but i wasn't voteing for him because of what he was, it was what he wasn't...Bush.

Error Will Not Change Election Outcome
Here we see the evolution of the spin from the stolen election. On Wednesday the news was full of puff pieces about how wonderful the electronic voting machines worked. Then, as more and more hard facts emerged the spin changed to how only sore losers dared suggest there were problems with the electronic voting systems. Now, as even more problems surface, the spin changes again to drudgingly admitting that there were indeed problems, but really, they were minor, and no one error would really affect the outcome.
Except that we are not talking about just one or two "errors" but hundreds that we know about, implying thousands more that we do not, and a clear statistical indication in the actuals versus exit polls which shows a clear skewing of the vote towards Bush in those states using paperless/audit less electronic voting machines.

The bottom line is that the errors do not need to demonstrably change the outcome. The errors already discredit the entire election.

The mainstream media are clearly worried about the vote fraud issue.

Too many people have complained for the mainstream media to go on pretending there was not a problem, so expect a barrage of stories dismissing the problems as "accidents" and insisting that the total amount of vote fraud could in no way have changed the outcome of the election. But with no audit trails on the electronic voting machines, how can they know, let alone prove that assumption?

I don't know this Nursey poster, nor why she thinks I'm some other person (my avatar...emetic... yeah, I see that connection, but...), and especially not how she can arrive at "corporate asslicking" from what I've said here. I started off generally addressing strategy and style more than ideology and persons (can't help some references to the latter). Rather intriguing bunch of links she dropped (and MY post was long??). Will check some out when I get around to extended leisure reading . Am aware that concerns and issues over e-voting have existed for some time prior to the election. If it turns out there's anything to it, there'll definitely be some shit.

As for what 90% of the rest of the world thinks, and possibilities for further civilized discussion, etc - the cards are already dealt. Until and unless a misdeal is called, all bets are still on & there really only remains to see how they play out from here.

ok get this shit, considering the situation we are in i would rather have some one with war experience then some rich dick who fucked around in the faturnity that does the most parteing in a school a select few could ever afford to go to. im not dem or repub i choose whom i think would be best and i lost my confidence in this fuck nut who cant ride a gyroscopicaly balanced scooter. much less a bike. what gives me confindence that he can run a country much less whipe his ass with out the assistance of hoards of aids? last time i checked those who own their own buisiness can claim practiacally what ever they want as tax write off. how do i know? cause my pops works for one like that, wrote off his porche as a company expence. its obviously not a company car, how many client can you pick up with a 2 seater? as for tax break the rich have it alot easier than they used to and i doubt that they pay 35% of the taxes while the companies they run pay only 18%, and the lower 50% pay 5%, sounds about as right as the vote numbers in Ohio. companies are busy paying minimum wage to low income families in slum, with a family of 4 ( 2 kids 2 adults) both making an income they would need atleast an income of about 60k to pay for housing and the needs such as food transportion health care ect, and thats just making it. at an average of 2040 total hours a year with one week off at say 7 dollars an hour a person will make a gross income of $14280. so how many of those jobs do you need to just make it? then my reason of askin about the over time rules was to see where the adjustments were. then some place wont even offer 40 hours a week just cause they dont wanna pay benifits. leading into health care, who can honestly not complain about the prices of medication. we pay the most for fuckin pills. my grandmother pays a shit load for fuckin pills, over a $100 for a set of 30 pills. and thats just one medication, she has about 4 just like that then a couple less than $100. with an income from SS of 1000 a month thats pretty steep. it seem that those companies that the upper class are running sure do like the cut them legs from fuckin under you.
considering the quandery we are in its relevent to have some one to have war experience, especial in a place where we are not wanted nore really needed. as for the dole shit, i wanst old enough to vote or care.
bush alowed the companies to outsource.
i know what i wished for and it would be selective in its self, many of these rich bastards have never worn anything less than armani. ive been poor i know what its like. these fucks have never tasted such shit. busy blowing cash like it was candy on halloween.
poverty is about money cause if it wasnt no one would complain about getting minimum wage and no health coverage. it isnt about what kind of car or what if you have cable its covering expences. being poor is having a 1/3 or more of you income go just to housing. almost every wage is non adjusting so as the economy has its ups and downs so does a persons ability to afford basics. they dont have much disposable income at all to spend they scavange to save what they can. there is no solution to poverty other than unloading shit load of cash. but even that is a dumb idea.

even more so that falling off a bike? oh wait they prolly took off the training wheels for a photo op to no avail. plus i wasnt old enough to vote for clinton. bush and his staff blame the failing economy on clinton saying its his fualt and blah, but bush had the oportunity to change that but he didnt. its not like he help texas at all, we had property taxes out the ass, vehical registration taxes much higher than most, not to mention property insurance.

The US has been pretty self-suficient historically, and has rarely had to go to war to get what it needs so all of a sudden people are up in arms about the war for oil. Frankly, I say kill 'em all. If we got the $$, and we got the bombs, then let's get the oil too.
That statement doesn't reflect too well on your moral integrity, Rat. Who in their right mind would trust you now!?

The point we keep missing (http://www.warfolly.vzz.net/thepoint.html)
Let me ask you this. We went to war in Iraq to get rid of Saddam. Saddam is long gone. Why are we still killing people? Why are we still sacrificing our own soldiers? And why are we planning more wars?

You know the answer. It’s in the deepest, darkest part of your heart. We didn’t go to war against Iraq to overthrow a tyrant. We invaded Iraq because we wanted to steal a country’s precious resources, because we, in the blatant hubris of our soulless blindness, believe we can steal for any reason.

This is how Americans come to support mass murder of innocents for reasons that are lies. This has been going on full bore since at least the late 1890s, when American obliterated a million Filipinos to keep them safe from the Spanish. All this of course is not counting the 60 million Native Americans we exterminated throughout the 19th century, because they were savages, less than human.

And this is of course the paradigm that civilization has followed ever since, the British in India, the French in Indochina, the Belgians and the Portuguese in Africa, and all of the above and more throughout the bloody conquest of the Western Hemisphere.

Some literature asserts that even Hitler was impressed with the extermination policies of the white Europeans as they raped and pillaged their way across an undeveloped continent. Of course the more germane comparison these days is the way the Israelis have cut down the hapless Palestinians over the last half century, using their “holy” books to declare anyone in their voracious path to be less than human, and therefore eligible to be murdered without a second thought.

But Americans need to realize — and admit — that Israelis learned this heartless attitude from us. I even heard the esteemed Jewish theologian Michael Lerner — darling of the Zionist gatekeeper liberals — use this argument: how can Americans complain what the Israelis are doing to the indigenous inhabitants of their accursed chunk of Middle Eastern sand when the Americans set the example for the world to follow by exterminating the entire indigenous population of North America, and have behaved the same way throughout the rest of the world ever since? He has a point.

And this is the great and terrible secret all Americans hide within themselves, and palliate their guilt with such lame rationalizations as manifest destiny or “we need that oil.”

Fact is, none of those Palestinians, nor any of those Iraqis, would have died without the tacit approval of Americans. It wouldn’t have happened.

Sure, you can sit back and pontificate that those Islamic “savages” would have killed each other anyway, but you can’t prove that, and you can prove that it has been American manipulation, first and foremost, that has allowed that vicious bunch of Israelis to go into that region and become a raging terminal cancer. I supposed it’s only poetic justice that now Israel, with its pervasive political control of the U.S. political system, can manipulate events to the point where it can get America to come into the same region and do its dirty work, as is happening now in Iraq.

Iraq is not now nor ever has been a threat to the physical security of the United States. But Americans lie to themselves — we all know about THOSE lies — and arbitrarily declare that Iraq can bomb us with imaginary drones in 45 minutes, so we better bomb them first.

Same with Palestine. Palestinians were never a threat to anyone. But like Iraqis, they had something we wanted. And it is the great and terrible secret of every American that we will permit — and even cheer — the mass murder of innocents simply because we want to rob them of what is rightfully theirs.

Ask your preacher about that. I’m sure he’ll produce a suitable Biblical quote that approves of the murder of anybody who has something you want.

But we can’t blame this on a worldwide Jewish conspiracy, nor on the Jesuits, the elusive Illuminati, nor even the London-based global banking aristocracy. This is about the American people, and their continuing willingness to look the other way while those who are all too willing to prey on the innocent kill people for profit and pass the price savings on to the blind cowards who sputter half-baked maxims about terror and security while they sit in their easy chairs in their stiflingly boring and braindead American suburbs.

And contemplate the horrid fact that both presidential candidates endorse this indefensible policy of war based on lies, guaranteeing exactly the kind of future so chillingly outlined in Schwarzenegger’s “Terminator” movies.

We no longer need an excuse to kill anyone with impunity. Of course, in our materialistic American coma we have apparently become too dumbed down to realize that what happens “out there” will soon happen “in here,” but by the time that the neocon self-immolation of America finally dawns on us, it will be way too late to do anything about it. Perhaps it already is.

And 'she'? I'm a guy.
Well, pardon my assumption based on your nick.

Well, correct me if i'm wrong...the jist of your post is pretty much that the obscenely rich, with their disproportionately miniscule tax contributions are supporting your country...not draining it. And that the poorest people are all happy to live like that...

The gist of my post on that subject by way of example was, as I said before, criticism of the style and strategy on the part of the Dems' campaign rhetoric in general as evidenced by that topic specifically.

How do you describe the 35% - over one-third - of the total individual (not corporate) taxes collected from only 1% of the population as 'miniscule'?

If you're headed in the general direction of "the rich don't deserve what they've got" by way of "they still have so much more left over even after taxes than John & Jane Salesclerk", I don't care to argue that philosophical point any more than how many angels populate a given pinhead. If you believe that the rich - "obsenely" or otherwise - still owe more than they're already paying, that begs the question: how much more? How much is enough? Just how high can you jack the top brackets before diminishing returns kicks in? When the rates paid by the country's top earners are so high that it they move out & become tax exiles - as the Rolling Stones did in the early 70s in response to England's 90% rate?

I'm not defending the current progressive U.S. tax code. Neither am I a Flat-Tax booster a la Steve Forbes. The sources I've read on that option convince me that you and I (assuming we're somewhere in the middle-income range) wouldn't breeze by with a simple, low 15% or 17% rate as promised. Without drastically cutting the budget and expenditures, our effective rate would end up a lot higher than that - likely even more than we pay now.

I described the way individual tax collections break down right now in mathematical fact, contrasted to the common assumption or imagination.

That's as clear as I can make it.

War is wrong period. People are being killed, real people.

And guess what, IRAQ HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH 9/11. Killing people is wrong and that just dosn't seem to sink in with people. It's this self centered "we are better than you" crap that Americans constantly spew forth that just makes me want to vomit (and not in the way I vomit when Nursey talks to me).

Kerry's not a rich dick, too? Yale is neither cheap nor non-exclusive. Besides their Beacon Hill crib, he and Tuh-raaay-za also have a pretty impressive collection of properties around the country and world. If I recall correctly, their value exceeds that of the Bush's holdings. Whether it's really her money or his money, it's effectively their money.

I understand what your preference is regarding war experience - you've stated it several times now. Just haven't explained the reasoning behind it. Never mind.

those who own their own buisiness can claim practiacally what ever they want as tax write off... my pops works for one like that, wrote off his porche as a company expence.
This individual anecdote doesn't change the math.

i doubt that they pay 35% of the taxes while the companies they run pay only 18%, and the lower 50% pay 5%, sounds about as right as the vote numbers in Ohio.

Don't know where you got the "companies...18%" thing from - not anything I said. As for the rest, here's my source: http://pqasb.pqarchiver.com/timesdispatch/347999891.html?did=347999891&FMT=ABS&FMTS=FT&date=

ive been poor i know what its like....being poor is having a 1/3 or more of you income go just to housing.
I spend about 40% of my current income on housing. I'm not poor. I've been broke, but that's not the same thing.

there is no solution to poverty other than unloading shit load of cash. but even that is a dumb idea.

tax write off for company expence = paying less taxes

as for the company shit, i got it off Nova on PBS. companies have the ability to export their profits over seas to the Caimin island or such with a low income tax there for paying less US income taxes. the average blue collar or even the average white collar work doesnt have the ability to do that.

and 40% is still too high, its seems retarded to pay most of your income for rent.


and for the war thing, id rather have some one who has seen battle, war the carnage of the aftermath behind buttons of the US cause he is seasoned in and will be more hesitant to send troops understanding what will happen as he has seen and experinced what war is like.

Thankyou Mr. Dwaine Scum...from Tori* and me. :oops:

*Speaking of Tori, i think at this point i should mention that she has gone through quite a bit of major upheaval lately. You may recall the last i mentioned of her was when i was struggling to cope with the all-ammonic, vapourous, couch-human *hybrid* of a woman (http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/content/martin_stlucie/epaper/2004/08/18/s1a_mcbody_0818.html) she had blossomed into due to an increasing lack of harassment from me. This was all well and good until her burgeoning pussy also started to bond with the surrounding fabric in voracious fashion, despite all efforts to halt this process by me.
Unfortunately, when the constant heroic battle to prevent Tori's lower mucous membranes from fully grafting with the couch was eventually lost, so too was my main source of income - the steady stream of punters eager for a quick lay on my settee. As bills started to pile up, and Tori looked like she was now starting to incorporate my five thousand pound persian carpet into her being, i decided enough was enough and called in the local council to come and clean up the mess. Apparently, it is illegal to fuse with an inamite object, and the authorities immediately confiscated Tori and proceeded to brutally sever her from her beloved 'upholstori'. Unbeknownst to them, Tori had, over the past year, been gradually 'dripping' through the gaps at the back and mushrooming out in the rectagonal space underneath, and once seperated was incapable of containing herself, quite literally.
There she was, blood rapidly draining from those rosy large cheeks, her lips forming 'Nursey! Help me!' to the sound of a gurgley wheeze...gazing at me imploringly from atop of a sprawling, quivering mound of writhing intestinal mass and slimey 'sweet meats'. At that moment, i had to struggle to resist the urge to beat the thing out of it's misery with a spade, and instead swung into action to rescue dear Tori, and in my quick thinking... called up BT! (http://www.think-aboutit.com/Misc/soul_catcher_computer.htm)
They arrange for Tori to be decapitated, frozen and sent to their American contacts for state of the art treatment. (http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2004/10/041022104658.htm).
And here is what they returned, magnified by 10000 x . Say hello to Tori, everybody...
http://www.stevequayle.com/News.alert/03_Genetic/3_Genetic.pics/030221.soul.chip.implanted.jpg
She can now fly small 'unmanned' planes, interacts with an F-22 fighter jet flight simulator and plays a variety of computer games ('Command and Conquer' is her current favourite). Quite an improvement, i think you'll agree!? Soon she will be encouraged to attempt grander deeds, such as control a small robotic device whose purpose will be to carry out a variety of household tasks for me. Her new form may seem pitiful to us, but her neural fronds are branching quite nicely, and she has assured me that she is happier than any other time in her life, incredible as it may seem!

It's people who can't believe that things could change very drastically (overnight in some cases...look what happened to German inflation in the 30's) who are least able to cope psychologically when such changes take place. And things are changing...very drastically indeed. Forget the stability we'd come to imagine would always be around, we're plummeting 'into the abyss' if you ask me...

I don't know/care if America can't get enough oil, but reading prophecies of some crack-pot who claims WWIII has started and we're all going to die because oil is sparse isn't on my schedule. So how is civilization going to end? Will the rule of law end and we return to a feudal system, live in caves and eat babies? No, it will change, but it does that subtly constantly anyway. I'll repeat it again - what a load of crap.

Nursey
11-10-2004, 10:41 AM
Actually, the 'conspiracy theory' is that peak oil is a myth, and they (and you) might well be right...
If the opening paragraph of this report started by claiming that completely unlimited crude oil reserves exist inside planet earth, readers might be tempted to regard the entire text as preposterous ghostwriting for a novelist like Frederick Forsyth. If the report then went on to claim that the Russians have exploited this stunning reality for nearly thirty years, right under the largely unwitting noses of western intelligence, readers could be excused for mistaking the author for a lunatic, or perhaps as a front for spy novelist John le Carré. The problem here is that unlimited oil reserves do exist inside planet earth, and the Russians long ago developed the advanced technology necessary to recover these unlimited oil reserves in an efficient and timely manner.
Profoundly disturbing hard intelligence like this does not sit well with the frantic cries of western academic shills and lobbyists, determined to convince you all that the end of the oil world is nigh, or, more accurately, that America faces an imminent catastrophe when global production capacity "Peaks", i.e. when world demand for crude oil finally exceeds the rate at which we can physically pump the required product out of the ground. The gist of these false claims are outlined in a speech given at the at the University of Clausthal, by lobbyist Doctor Colin Campbell during December 2000:
"In summary, these are the main points that we have to grasp: Conventional [Free flowing] oil provides most of the oil produced today, and is responsible for about 95% of all oil that has been produced so far. It will continue to dominate supply for a long time to come. It is what matters most. Its discovery peaked in the 1960s. We now find one barrel for every four we consume. Middle East share of production is set to rise. The rest of the world peaked in 1997, and is therefore in terminal decline. World peak comes within about five years" [circa 12/2005]
Campbell is just the tip of a giant iceberg of academic Peak Oil 'experts' who suddenly appeared en-masse to give you this frightening news, right after President Saddam Hussein suddenly started trading his oil in Euros rather than in US Dollars, a devastating switch with the easy capacity to destroy the US Dollar in less than five years if it was left unchallenged and unchecked.
I still wouldn't dismiss it straight out of hand like you. I'm sure if you'd actually done some investigating and saw how many authority figures were promoting this view you'd soon be singing the same tune...

(kindof like peat bogs.. but inside the earths crust).... then it's pretty logical to say it's a finite resource.. and saying the commies have an infinite supply.... hmmm.. :? ...

So how is civilization going to end? Will the rule of law end and we return to a feudal system, live in caves and eat babies? No, it will change, but it does that subtly constantly anyway. I'll repeat it again - what a load of crap.

Nice to see you approach things with an open mind. America needs more budding young geniuses such as yourself.
Well it's a shame I'm not American then isn't it, but the one thing America certainly doesn't need any more of is "open minded" conspiracy theorists.

Dear Reader,



Civilization as we know it is coming to an end soon.

You are not American...well America breathes a collective sigh of relief seeing as how we have enough morons such as yourself infecting this country, glad to see its spreading!!

What's moronic about what I said? I said I don't know or care about oil amounts but I don't believe that will cause the end of human life as we know it. The author of that link you posted claims his dreams of owning a house, marriage and parenthood are all under question because there might not be enough oil. Kids don't eat or wear oil, I've never attracted a female with a barrel of oil, he's talking shite! The US economy may depend on oil but civilization doesn't, we wont go back to swinging through trees and grunting at each other if oil runs low.

And that therefore dictates that we will lose the need for companionship, the will to procreate and raise children, communicate with others and organise society? You're a fucking genius! And if the price of oil goes up Nursey, people will find ways of doing without it.

i was talking about the "children dont wear oil" statement. in essence they do if a such clothing item, say a pair of starter pants has a sythetic fiber mostlikly it is made of oil or a petrolchemical.

Natural gas can be converted into other products such as motor oil. Oil and Natural Gas can be used for things such as tires, plastics, electrical wires, carpets, paint, paper, clothing, cosmetics, insulation, animal food, hoses, shoes, coating, antifreeze, medicine, weed killers, fertilisers, candles, lunch bags, adhesives, brake fluid, propane, asphalt, diesel fuel, butane, kerosene, explosives, jet fuels, styrofoam cups, plastic containers, bicycle grease and other appliances

the uses of oil are far reaching. start fuckin reading, although the depletion of oil will not be the end of fuckin civilization, it will limit the amount the amount and types of materials to be manufactured. to explain the use of oil lets set up a situation. say you have eggs in your fridge, they come in styrofoam or plastic containers, that are transported on a cooled trailer whos AC, wires, refiridgerant, the insulation, tape closing the boxes or ciran wrapping the pallet of eggs, the plastic air bags incerted in the trailers to secure the load from movement, the tape or cd the redneck is playing the cab including the cab internals, are made or oil or oil based chemicals. thats just some of the shit i can list, and it could go on and on. but im now bored so ill leave it at that.

You know, the sad part is this, (and look back if you don't believe me) I never ever once said I agreed with that article, I said it was an interesting read, which it was, and then you tried to jump all over my shit. The point here is that the article did bring up some interesting points, but you dismissed anything it had to offer. I get the feeling you just don't care about hearing anything that you don't agree with....and therefore I labled you (and very correctly if my assumption is right) close minded.
