  You said...

  Drilling in ANWAR is a band-aid at best.

  You want a nuke in your back yard I doubt it. The industry still can't insure it's self. Plus it is dependant on coal plants and fossil fueled vehicles to dig refine and deliver the fuel. Then we come to fuel disposal which there is non. The best guess so far is to sit in a cave for millions of years. Great idea until there is an incident.

  Embrace the environmental wackos the have been right so far. Buy smaller cars, use less, and get over it.

  Here's where you're completely wrong...

  First of all, the ones that are driving the big cars aren't the ones affected.

  We all b!tch about high gas prices... but it's the people that can't afford anything else but the small cars that are being affected most. And they can't get over it.

  The enviromental wackos are just that.

  Tree hugging is all cool and stuff. But trust me. We will drill. And we will build nukes.

  And when we do... it will be with the blessing from the enviromental wackos.

  They will somehow justify it in their minds that it will now be OK.

  That's becuase as soon as gas hits $10 a gallon in the U.S?

  At that point it would paralyze the country. Because the average person would be spending more money trying to GET to work.

  And by the way... I wouldn't mind a Nuke facility in my backyard. Not my literal back yard... but 30 miles away or so? Sure.

  There's a papermill about 30 miles down the road from me and the air and water smells like $hit there.

  I'm sure the papermill is causing the enviroment 100 more harm than a nuke plant.

  But I love paper. And I love energy.

  If the wackos want to talk about the enviroment - take up a battle against paper.

  Have you ever drove by a papermill?

  The whole place smells like rotton eggs.

  And the water taste like $hit.

  But you don't hear the envir wackos complaining about paper. Do you?

  Here's the reality...

  In the end, it's still supply and demand.

  There's no two ways around it. There's no conspiracy. Bush isn't an idiot. There are tons of reasons. But it all boils down to supply and demand.

  Supply and Demand:

  The cost of Barrels of Oil is public knowledge. You can trace it every day in the stock market.

  Last time I checked, I think it was about $110 a barrel.

  It's not one company.

  It's a lot of companies.

  It can be YOU if you could pull that $hit out of the ground and go there and say I have 10 million barrels at $90 a barrel.

  All these companies work their ass off to "out do" each other. It's not just one person or one company or one country.

  Or... you want to be a hotshot? Take your 10 million barrels of oil and sell them for $200 a barrel.

  No one is going to buy it... because everyone wants the oil and right now it's $110 a barrel.

  It's that high, because the $hit is good and it's the only thing we have to make our cars run.

  And right now people want more of it because China is getting industrialized and they need it to run their cars.

  And India needs it too.

  And so we can't buy it for $50 a barrel anymore, because India says, "We'll pay $60 for it."

  And then we say, "F^ck you.. we'll pay $70 for it."

  And then the Oil companies say to the Indians... "Hell... we're not selling it to you for $60 a barrel... the this MF wants to buy it for $70."

  In short... it's supply and demand.

  If the USA wants to help themselves. They (me) need to do one of two things...

  1) Say F-U to the environmental wackos and drill for oil in Anwar. Pull that oil out of ground like it's going out of style.

  Then see how fast gas goes down when supply goes up.

  2) Say F-U to the environmental wackos and lets us (USA) build nuclear facilities.

  In short... I'm not worried about it.

  Because the U.S. has the raw materials to get through this.

  There's an amazing amount of oil in Anwar. But the U.S. law doesn't allow us to drill for it.

  But you watch. As soon as we have to eat rats for dinner? Even the enviromental wacko's will suddenly think it's a good idea to drill.

  WT - Learn a lesson from the Pope... (apology for sex scandals)

  wt.... you think you can learn something from this pope?.

  Even though I don't believe in the Catholic religion - I tell you, I respect this Pope.

  How can there ever be any healing unless mistakes are addressed and apologized for?

  I know it is beyond some of us here to ever go back to the WT, but how refershing would it be for them to apolgize for all the harm they've done.

  And how refreshing would it be for them to say... "Not sure if this is the truth, not sure if it was ever was the truth...but come back and join this brotherhood because some of the witnesses here are good people that are just trying their best to live a good life and please God. Lets try together."

  Shame on the WT.

  How I wish, the WT would say what this Pope said... something to the effect that you were raped physically and SPIRITUALLY.

  How refershing that would be.

  Are you listing Anthony Morris? I know you well and you know me.

  I know you to be a good man. Do the right thing now that you are in power.

  Learn from the Pope. Please.

  Was it better to be an elder's wife, or a CO's wife?

  by AlmostAtheist in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  a friend of mine was asking about the cult we all hold so dear, and i was explaining some of it to her.

  i told her about elder's wives, and how they have both the prestige of that position, plus the social standing.

  logically, it would be even better for a co's wife.

  I'm sure that the CO's wife has it the worst.

  There is no real value in kissing her a$$.

  Wow...

  I'm speechless.

  Wow.

  I remember being on a cruise and we met up with some from the congregation.

  The cruise stopped in the Bahamas and there was a Bethel there. And some donned their suites on vacation so they could "tour" the facility.

  It just seemed odd.

  But to legislate dress is bizarre.

  Also funny how they justify it with a few scriptures.

  You could justify JUST AS MUCH for a counter argument for dress with OTHER scriptures...

  1) The Pharasees enlarged their scripture containing box and the frills on the bottom of their clothes. (Then a picture of a dub with an extra large elder type book bag and a 3 piece suit in the middle of the summer.) (Put a big circle and X around this picture.)

  2) Make sure of the more important things. (Picture of a dub berating his family to make sure they dress approp for the Bethel tour but a conecting pic of the daughter doing drugs.)

  3) Men sees the outside, God sees the Inside. (Then a picture of a shiny dub in one pic with the same dub wacking it on Intenet Porn.)

  JefferyWhat...

  Regarding this comment:

  haahaahaaaaa
  
  even the little aussie dollar is almost 1:1!!!
  
  Haahaahaaa
  
  I love it, the age of america is over!!!
  
  :-)

  First of all, shame on you for cheering anyone's bad fortune.

  Second of all, America isn't going anywhere in our generation. Not this generation. Not next.

  Maybe my kid's kid's generation. But not anytime soon.

  Here's why.

  1) The U.S. NEEDS a weak dollar. A week dollar means our exports will go up. That is because people are more willing to buy our $hit because their dollar is more. We have a trade deficit here and a temporary weak dollar will help. That's why Japan's stockmarket keeps going down with ours. If the Yen goes up too much over the Dollar - no one here is going to buy their electronic $hit.

  2) If it gets any worse for the U.S., we're going to start drilling for our own oil because we have plenty of that $hit in Anwar. The reason why we haven't drilled yet is because we have a lot of enviromental wacko's who don't want us to mess with Alaska. But American's are spoiled. And if we have to start eating rats for dinner - even the enviromental wacko's will justify in their minds - "...eh... maybe drilling in Anwar isn't that bad even after all."

  3) We have a Fiat money system. And everyone here that talks about the Federal Reserve and how it's all evil and stuff. Do your research. I voted for Ron Paul... I listen to Alex Jones. And I fully understand your reasonings. But do your research.

  We NEED a Fiat money system because it keeps us flexible in a global economy. A gold standard is actually BAD for us right now.

  Like I said... just do your research.
