SIGNYM
I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.
Quote: I think you need to get over yourself. -SIGNY That make you feel better? Yanno, everyone here has thought that about everyone else at some point. Don't make you a genius for sayin' it. This is just a discussion board, you can believe what someone says or not. The fact that what I believe about reality makes people angry means that I'm probably closer than you care to admit. You and kiki are optimists and I'm sure that makes you more fun to be around than me, but it also makes you less likely to be realistic. I'll take realism over sugar-coated optimism any day.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

So I think it would behoove you to do some realistic thinking about the future, and see if you can spare the small amount of effort it takes to send off an email petition as part of a petition drive (all you really have to do is click a link), or vote for a good candidate (especially if the outcome is a given), or send $5 a year to, say, The Nature Conservancy. All of these are well within your scope.

Quote:Why is getting ahead so important?
Quote:Our state told y'all to go shove it, so hopefully hubbs should have a coal job for long enough to pay the house off, and that's all I care about. Me and the other 8 billion people- that's about all we care about. GETTING BY. And I just made my point again!

Quote:I mean, you sound like a Baptist Preacher. WHOA to you ....
Quote: WOE to and yours for ye shall surely burn in the hell and wasteland of the eternal money grubbers and planet rapists, but ye can repent if you but send $5 paltry dollars to people who really can't do anything to stop the onslaught of greedy butchers in that far-away land...
Quote:My kid lives in the Midwest, and since everything takes like another twenty or thirty years to get here, SHE WILL GET BY JUST FINE. She is an only child, so she gets it all. And we're past that annoying ice cap melt line, so YAY.
Quote:Like I've said many times- voting doesn't do anything but line someone else's pocket till it's fluffy, and donating money just insures you line someone else's pocket until it's fluffy, and signing an e-mail petition??? I haven't ever even done that for Firefly. I've voted lots because we actually have won those, but I've never signed my name to a thing.
Quote:You wanna "keep up the good fight" you do that. I think I'll wait for that sixth extinction event to happen and fix it all. And it WILL happen.

Quote: Originally posted by 1kiki: I didn't realize pointing out facts was manipulative. My bad. I'll skip the facts next time and go straight to my assumptions, like you do. That way, I'll be able to ignore drought, the loss of ocean-based habitat, species and food, the fall of the petrodollar and the impoverishment of the US population, and all the other emerging threats, and say everyone will be ... just fine.

Quote: OK, since you can't do it I will pick one you have repeated. My kid and the apocalypse. I believe something is going to happen, on a global scale within -let's say- 200 years.
Quote:WISH, you have a lot of "beliefs" ... about humanity, about capitalism, about socialism, about India, about history. But to you, your beliefs aren't beliefs, they're "the truth".
Quote:I do not know what, and I do not know when, and neither does anyone else.
Quote:My point was that in the event of a economic downturn, people in the Midwest are far more able to cope than people in cities, just due to availability of resources. WE ARE SURROUNDED BY FOOD, GENIUS!!!!! If that is the determining factor
Quote:we only have the one mouth to sustain, sustain she will.
Quote:You are trying to make global warming a personalized thing by attempting to play with my emotions- thus the manipulation part.
Quote:I realize I can only do what I can do ...
Quote: ... and no action I take is going to stop a comet from wiping out all life on Earth, from melting polar ice caps, from succumbing to a plague that wipes out all life.
Quote:If it comes, it comes. I will not waste my life in worry about things I cannot change.

Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: You must spend hours [.cuddling up next to the bracket button.] I get that it does make you feel better to try and nick pick every little point. You probably need to understand that every time I see that all I can think is O...C...D. I dare you, find ONE major point that is the most important of all those things to you and argue it in paragraph form. 'Cause half of those are just nonsense babble, or unimportant details, or desperate attempts to cross-connect things I've said so you can prove me wrong in your own head. I don't even know where to start... It's like you've perfected the whole "baffle them with bullshit" routine.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by Wishimay: I will not waste my life in worry about things I cannot change. One person's vote won't change the USA, but one percent of all voters can because the weak link or maybe the hinge or the pivot point for governance is at the primary election where only a small percent of registered voters (10%, 15%) pick the candidates for all political offices. This weakness in US democracy has been exploited since the days of Thomas Jefferson by the Top One Percent, the people with the most money in the USA. Very clever of them. Not so clever, the Bottom 90 Percent can't understand why the Top One Percent control the USA. It is because the Bottom does not have the commonsense to vote in the primary elections. Here come the excuses. There are always naysayers in the Bottom saying “My one vote does not count” and “I've got no time for politics”. The Top One Percent love you for saying that and don't even need to thank naysayers for their unpaid services. Just not voting in primaries serves well the Top 1%.

And somebody else likes to jump on bandwagons at the last second of a conversation because it's easier then having a conversation. P.s. I've been gone all day, it's 9:30 and I'm to tired to deal with a group of mindless parrots. Another day maybe...
