An Inconvenient Truth wins the Oscar. AM talk radio should be a kick tomorrow.  [sm_rolling]

especially with the segue about katrina they threw in

Did he carry Tennessee this time?

Who won for best pronumentary?

Aren't those awards given in Las Vegas?

Yeah, yeah, yeah!!
YOU MUSTA MISSED THIS ONE!!!!!!!!

Please read article.

Good work. Keep it up.

You're damm right it's good. That is a REAL LOL.

I read somewhere that spaceage called him 'algore', referred to the movie as propaganda and took a shot at the credibility of the Oscars.

Lib.  [sm_devil] ;) :)

troll school called.   your midterm grades are an f-

You fellas sure are a closely knit group here.

Guesswho, I'm sure you must realize that the Gores have a home that is substantially larger than the average American home, and further that they have some unique demands placed on their home (e.g. Secret Service outpost) that we ordinary folk do not.

not really


a: drudge proven history of repeatedly wrong
b: google news search returns all of 4-5 sites running this 'story' ... none of which are readily verifiable, unbiased, or otherwise trustworthy... i'd like to see this on cnn or foxnews etc
c: story consists of apparently 'leaked' information, hard to verify or trust
(as an engineer, it's hard to imagine how even in a huge mansion that many kwh are used)
d: story has no mention of how those kwh were generated (IGCG, nuclear, old fashioned coal fire, wind, hydro, solar cell, etc) , even if true
e: story makes no mention of how much he has offset with carbon offset purchases
(not that such 100% justifies electricity waste)
f: even if it is 100% true story, and he is an unabashed hypocrite,  does that diminish the facts he is arguing?  or does that just make him a hypocrite ?
g: what if 180,000 of those kwh are running a massive computer cluster doing climate modeling?  would that really be a waste ? (not that I would expect this to be true... but, we don't know the # is true, and if it is true, how it breaks down...)
h: what if all that natural gas is doing cooking on several stoves for a homeless shelter?
etc...  the article itself is worthless...

ad nauseam...

z: if he is right, and his movie convinces people... and simultaneously the story is right, and the hypocrisy garners attention, and more people watch it...... and choose to live better lifestyles....  in the end ... is the world a better place for it?

...





ps, i love how the anti-gw crowd has gone from 'there is no gw'  to  "omg al gore is a hypocrite"

what a truly compelling refutation of science.

And John Kerry drives an SUV, too. [sm_stir]

So take that.  :boxing:

Libertards.  :finger:


 [sm_wave]



PS:  Please take this post in the good natured smart arse manner it was intended.  Or else.

So do I, but I feel bad about it. We're looking at getting a Prius for our regular commuter car to offset though. I really need to work harder at my libtardery.

Spaceage = Enviro-killer.  Everytime you drive a tree cries.

If you ever move to Carolina, I'll help you hot-rod that Prius.  Southern environmentalism.

enviro-tuning?

Could very well be the most BS I've ever seen in one Post ever!!!

Good rebuttal. Very scientific.

Seriously, though, and with all due respect if you want to troll your typical "libs are the cause of all the world's problems" bull*feces*, take it back "over there" and I'll be happy to engage you in the existing forum for such silliness. It's a friendly forum and that's not how we play here. Check your carry over baggage at the door and play nice or feel free to get out. Even prokrop managed to play well with others until he decided to check out.

If the other members here feel differently, I'll expect them to chime in, but political discussions here are not terribly serious and are, at least to date, treated lightly. If you can't abide by this, don't enter the discussions or don't come to the forum. The choice is yours.

at least I am not so full of BS that I automatically think that all electric usage causes  CO2 emissions

 ::)

[sm_beertoast]

Llibs may not be the cause of all the world's problems but they definitely smell up the bathroom here at work something fierce.   :sick:

(this site, though certainly leaning well left... is certainly more verifiable than the 'tennesse policy' crapholetank they expose here)

lots of interesting points/issues/criticisms/etc

apparently his electricity is all generated from renewables AND he still buys carbon offsets.

walk the walk is certainly done, if true.


way to fall for the latest net hoax,  winger.

It's the soy.

I can make fart noises with my armpit.

That's an ignorant statement.

LOL  That's some of my best stuff.  I guess I'm out of my league.  I'll stick to discussions on Global Thermonukular War.

I'd say given some of the discussion on the issue (not just on this forum, but from a complete global view), you're far from out of your league. In fact farty armpit noises are about as well crafted as nearly half the arguments I've ever heard on the subject. Please continue.

but it snowed in dallas for 1 day   when it was sunny in boston!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  global warming is t3h librul $grab !

Nice delivery over there.  I was gonna make a cameo for effect, but thought it may diminish the punch of your line.

 [sm_thumbsup]

Karma.

Re: lol. Suck it Niel O'Hannitbaugh. What do you call this Crap. Pal? All in good fun I'll bet. Just because your wife bosses you around all the time, don't take it out on me.

I call it making fun of insane radio personalities. Lighten up or go away.

Are you going to get me banned too?

No, but you just might.

Why is that? Because I'm not a Lib? Or, because I don't suckup to the moderators, like you do?

It has nothing to do with being a "lib," sucking up to mods, or anything else. It has to do with my personal knowledge that the admin here has no trouble banning trolls. (I really don't know what it takes to get banned from FGI, but give it your best shot if you so desire.)

Seriously, what is your major malfunction? We have contributing members here from all walks of life, all political, social, and religious beliefs, etc. People who disagree here generally say nothing, or make jokes. You're the only one who's acting as though someone has kicked you in the nuts and spit on your mother's grave. Why is that?

After you came here, you began trolling almost immediately. All but maybe 4-6 of your posts have been based on some apparent and focused obsession. If you have some sort of hard on for me over things I've said to you in FGI P&R, fine, keep it there. I'll be happy to rebut over there. If your life just sucks and the only pleasure you ever get is creating anonymous online hostility, find another place for it. That's not what this place is about.

If you get banned here (or over there for that matter), I won't lose one second of sleep over it, but ultimately it will have to do with your own behavior, not my recommendation. Play nice here, or go home.

Spacey,

There is always the ignore function.  Something I'm about to do............


smite and ignore :banned:

I don't have a lot of time for this right now, but if you feel strongly about whether Guesswho should be banned or not, please vote by applauding or smiting him.

I'll check back later tonight.

[my .02]
I don't think we should vote with smite.  spaceage laid it out to Guesswho pretty plain and simple.  I say let Guesswho's actions from here out dictate whether banning is appropriate.

I have no idea who Guesswho is here, or there.  I don't participate in political discussions, here or there.  The time and effort spent researching and learning what is required for an informed and intelligent dialogue, is more than than I carry interest.

Guesswho, whatever your intentions for provocations with spaceage are, he has made it clear on several occasions, that he is willing to indulge your offense in P & R at FGI.  I suggest you keep your exchanges on these types of discussions, by accepting that offer, and those terms.

I will not "vote" to have you banned, but there is no doubt that ones actions will eventually lead them to the action they deserve.

We have a good thing going here.  All are welcome, if they treat others with respect.

[/my .02]

I agree with stroh  [ducking to avoid lightning bolt]

It's pretty clear that Guesswho has a pebble in his shoe for some reason. But the whole Lord of the Flies, Survivor vote off the island thing seems not the way to go. For me at least. But I've always been down with the whole no likee, no clickee crowd. Pretty soon the folks who need attention like they need oxygen will whither.

Even prokrop managed to play nice while he was here so I believe there may be hope for anyone.

Stroh, don't short change yourself.  That was worth at least a nickel. 

I like libs.  Some of my best friends are libs.  I'm not a lib though.  I have no use for sandals, tofu and the 35% tax bracket.  I don't think Susan Sarandon is the least bit hot.  I think Charlton Heston is wicked cool even though I'm pretty sure he's not really Moses.  I've listened to Rush Limbaugh and Bill O'Reilly on a daily basis although my all time favorite is Gene Burns.  I think Hannity needs to tone it down a bit but he's way better than that *humid grotto* Colmes.  Over 90% of my clothes are made in Filipino sweat shops.  I like Israel. I used to support the war in Iraq.

Now the flip side.  I drive Hondas.  I think the planet is worth saving even if we're not sure it needs it.  I think the poor need a hand up and two if they're pushing off with their feet.  I believe the fortunate (i.e. USA) have an obligation to help the less the fortunate.  It's not a legal obligation; it's a moral obligation.  I think Guilliani is the best Republican candiate and Obama is the best overall candidate (opinion subject to change).  I no longer support the war in Iraq.

So what's the point?  Nothing really.  But it might be worth noting the entirety of the "libs" on this board don't grate on my nerves as much as a single troll. 

Now... where'd I put my Courvoisier? 

Despite a current wild conspiracy theory and some sort of rumored magic banninating powers, I'm really not a proponent of banning. I'd much prefer people be decent. Having said that, I happen to believe that every time an unabashed and unrepentant troll gets banned, an angel gets her wings.

My preference, in order:
1) Be cool
2) Be gone
3) Be banned

Not a big fan of the ignore function, though I might ultimately go that route. If I do, I'll say the feature is way better here than it is "over there." Here it's like all evidence of the ignored is simply wiped away.

Save Spaceage, save the Golfho's

HA!  Karma!   ;D

Doesn't the TVA utilize a lot of nuclear and hydroelectic power?

yup
put it is quite the conundrum....  beat the right wingers down with this simple fact now... or later...

Not to mention, unlike average homes (to which Gore's consumption is compared), Gore surely has 24 hour security, a constantly lighted property, and a home that is probably never empty. While I don't think he still gets Secret Service protection, I'm sure he has private security staff at all times. He'd be crazy not to.

The lights are probably on all day and night, and with good reason.

How did moderator JDerion get a karma score of 140 when he has only 289 posts?  In light of resident post addict Aske having a karma of 31 after nearly 9000 posts, something seems askew. [sm_scratch]

I think a blue ribbon (Pabst, that is) panel investigation may be in order.



By the way, I understand that liberals exhale more carbon dioxide than conservatives, and thus they are actually more damaging to the environment.

That is true, but only because we get laid more often, and we engage in the act with more vigor and for longer than 37 seconds.

Also, do not question my karma ever again. I have so much of it I can afford to chuck some at your head. Whatever you can catch you can keep; I won't miss it and you could use some.

Now please, do not provoke me further and let this issue drop. My powers of moderation are vast and far superior to anything you have ever imagined.

JDerion - Most unstable karma on the internets

I have heard he is a chronic self-karmalizer. [sm_jack] :punchballs:

which is certainly nicer description than most of what can be said of the lying pos behind the "Tenn. Center...  " ;)
