dubla,
iraq has PROVEN oil reserves of 115 BILLION barrels! with a very conservative price of 30$ per barrel thats 3.5 TRILLION dollars (the true number will be much higher probably since the known oil reserves are only part of the true amount).
so even in this respect it is still worth occupying iraq.
do you honestly dispute that bush is working for the industry that supports him?
cannes, france (reuters) - u.s. director michael moore's ``fahrenheit 9/11'' won the top award at the cannes film festival saturday.. thanking the jury headed by cult director quentin tarantino, moore said: ``you will ensure that the american people will see this movie.
'' moore's win capped a politically charged festival, with documentaries and films reflecting troubled times and french show-business workers staging demonstrations and sit-ins to protest against cuts in their welfare benefits..
nice!
richie,
Michael Moore hates the President and everything he stands for and this is clearly portrayed in many of his movies, especially Fahrenheit 9/11.
yes and he is absolutey right with that!
what does bush stand for? the industry! unless you belong to the top 10% in the population you better vote for nader!
the french most likely are happy about moore winning the prize. this has nothing to do with your original statement though that it was the french who gave moore the prize.
armstrong is an exceptional sportsman and i hope he wins the tour! just because people dislike the US gov. does not mean they have to hate americans!
any thoughts on mr. taylor?s claims?.
u.s. demands greater oil output, lower prices.
"finance ministers from the united states and other major industrialized countries, hoping to affect the outcome of a battle within the organization for the petroleum exporting countries, formally demanded yesterday that oil-exporting nations raise production and lower prices to a level 'that is consistent with lasting economic prosperity,'" the new york times reports.
princess,
You know absolutely nothing about me. You call me ignorant and presumptuous and a brat all because our plumbing company bought an Excursion to advertise the company while I drive it around town.
what i know about you stems from your posts. had you remained silent could you have passed as a decent person.
i don't call you ignorant because you drive a SUV. i call you ignorant because of your obvious disrespect to the ecosystem which keeps us all alive.
Oh! and I water my large lawn all summer long.
depending on where you live this might be perfectly ok or absolutely idiotic.
Jahna,
In defense of SUV?s and pick up trucks, some people do actually use them with a purpose in mind.
no one has a problem with the use of a machine that burns a lot of fuel as long as it is actually required. what is idiotic is that people use SUVs to drive to work or for everyday shopping. you can do that by using a smart car or a beetle.
Jim,
according to OPEC numbers north america has 30% of world wide oil consumption! (7.78 BILLION gallons = 1.2 TRILLION liters per year!)
i am not saying one should not use biodiesel or other laternative energies (wind, solar etc.). overall these energy sources do not provide enough energy however. especially if the whole world decides to switch to SUVs over the next 10 - 50 years!
A crop of oil-producing plants will absorb exactly the same amount of carbon dioxide in order to produce a gallon of vegetable oil as a gallon of vegetable oil emits when it is burned in an engine."
actually the plant would consume more CO2 since an essential part is used to build the roots, stem etc.
Big tex,
yes hydrogen is the perfect energy source for transporation. BUT where does the hydrogen come from? problem is you need energy to produce it! you can use conventional powerplants to produce electricity which then can be used to produce the hydrogen. other mechanisms exist but the fundamental problem remains - where do you get the energy from in the first place?
Dan,
The stuff that rubs my butt raw is when someone comes along & declares the owners of SUVs to be pathetic, ignorant, and self-absorbed
it is the attitude of people like princess that are the source of critique! if someone needs a strong car for transportation fine...but one has to be aware of the strong negative effects these cars have on the environment...not to speak of the destruction of highly valuable oil that is essential for most of our products today (do you know where plastic, etc. come from?)
the attitude I HAVE THE MONEY - THAT GIVES ME THE RIGHT TO SPIT ON THE PLANET - is what is so condemnable.
then it would seem as though more petroleum would be in process, right?
indeed oil is constantly produced. but on a very small level. the oil that we use up in probably less than 200 years took a billion years to form!
by the way...for most purposes you don't need a large car (SUV or other). most people drive alone in the car to work, shopping etc. you can do that in a SMART car!
undaunted Danny,
as i said above....hydrogen is the way to go in the future! BUT without fusion we still need a energy source that produces the hydrogen in the first place!

richie,
How do you think the French will react?
it was not a french jury. the event just happen to be in france.

dubla,
this depends on A) whether is this in their concept and B) to get the oil production going in iraq.
farenheit 9/11 ... sorry neo cons .
any film that gets a 15 min standing ovation must be worth watching.
i wonder if bush will go see it?!
avi,
a person with a gun can cause way more damage than a person with a knife or a stick. and although some people could build primitive guns by themselfes thia would be a very limited problem.
i don't know about the weapons law in DC and NYC. but i know NYC is THE or at least one of the safest large cities in the US.
also if you have an outragous crime rate like DC than even though you have gun restrictions homicide with guns will occur.
PS: why should everyone be allowed to have a gun? what is the need for it?

princess,
you are nothiung but a [edited]. its very sad (for the entire ecosystem) that people like you exist.
Dan,
agree to disagree on jesus car? sure!
agree that SUVs are not an insanity? No. these cars burn 50% more fuel than a normal car for the sole purpose of transporting its own weight.
the world is burning 73 million barrels of gas per day! and what we burn in less than 200 years took millions of years to form.
avishai,
biodiesel sounds good but it doubt it that the agricultural sector could ever produce enough oil. the world consumes roughly 12 BILLION liters of oil per day. thats about 2 liter per person...way more than the agricultural sector can provide in calories stored in food.
only long term hope is fusion energy...without that people like princess will have to cut back on their SUV use!

Dan,
i don't think so ...jesus appears to have been a rather reasonable person.
Princess,
your name speaks for itself. you seem quite ignorant and self absorbed. have you heard about limited resources, global warming, pollution and so on? it seems not.
do you care about the future of your children or is your comfort the most important thing in the world for you?

princess,
it is your attitude that is ruining this planet! you need two SUVs? pathetic!
i was just curious as to the aim of this website?
i thought it was a discussion board for those interested in/ for jehovah's witnesses, but it seems like you're all former jehovah's witnesses?
so is this site just to bash jehovah's witnesses?
my-journey,
I really did think this site was aimed at Jehovahs Witnesses, but it's just a hate site, and you're all entitled to hate Jehovah's Witnesses - after all, most people do, even so called Christians
i can assure you that people who have never been closely affected by the JW do not hate them! they simply do not notice them (as you do not recognize the mormons). i do not hate you but pitty you for your childish kindergarten believes.
