Why is it that the "supposed" green folks are slobs?

I am just confused. I thought the left and the Dems were all about being the progressive environmental types. I am confused, with the rallies that I have seen, it seems like they do not care about the environment. They say they are but..................

Let me come out first and tell you I'm an environmentalist. I love the planet and I have done a lot of pretty cool ideas in saving the planet. Some are just annoying PETA members who I wish would just leave the earth. :/

Most people who are in support of "Green Agendas" have no idea what the actual meaning or goal of the programs are.

People who gather for such causes are only doing it because of the shock value words added to the campaigns like cleaner waters and a better world etc..

Most people will not go through the trouble of actually looking into and understanding a cause before throwing their support behind it.

Case in point Global Warming.

Never mind, they are just the same as they have always been. Lip service.

Heck that's what I do! Vote for a person who seems to be involved with the people. What I distaste is that these younger folks on both sides don't do anything or know anything enough to make America run on time. Seems we lost respect for one another.

the color of your money of what i was referring to but it does work too

reply to post by saltheart foamfollower


are you being serious, or just trolling?

Because you are making some very large generalizations in the process of making your 'point'.

Are some, nay, a lot of people stupid hypocrites? Yes.

Does that mean that anything an idiot associates themseleves with is discredited by association?

Well, that eliminates basically, nay , every organization in America.

now, we could talk specific policy issues, in their proper context... What parts of the 'green agenda' to you agree and disagree with? What do you define as the 'Green Agenda"?

People just like the term "green." I wonder why...? there was something I was gonna say here... what was it..

in reguards to the trash left behind thats very telling indeed and disrespectful to the ww2 vets

but then again majority of leftists could give a rates behind for anything military


seems to me as such as an important "event" as that rally was one would assume that the "memorabillia" would be taken home to remind them of what they were trying to accomplish.

tells me really they didnt really care about anything but towing the "party" or "union" line but then agian i have heard rumors that the majority were paid to go--- i dont entirely beleive that but i wouldnt surprise me in the least.

and yeah hypocritical to say the least.

Tell you what, someone pollutes, they should pay.

How bout that for my position.

Seems like everytime we turn around, the corps get away with crap.

Why is that? Oh, that would be your benevolent government being in bed with the polluters.

Never mind, keep up with the idiocy.

What is deeply saddening about the green movement (and I consider myself a conservationist too) is the lack of support for nuclear energy. There is much propaganda used against nuclear energy here in the United States, despite the fact that about 80% of France is getting their electricity from it. And England is now on course to build new reactors because it simply is more reliable and more cost efficient than the alternatives. And contrary to popular belief in America...it's safe. There is also ongoing research into reprocessing nuclear waste.
Environmentalist extremists don't understand the energy demands that exist in this country...They think wind farms and solar will be able to replace our dependency on oil....This shows that they do not quite get the reality of our energy crisis situation. And yes...I can bet anyone that there is in fact a national...hell, international, energy crisis that is only gaining momentum...Peak oil is real...That's exactly why we have to secure pipelines in the middle east and across the globe...but at what cost?

NUCLEAR POWER IS THE SOLUTION!

reply to post by laiguana


Did they not come out with a nuclear power source that could use waste nuclear material?

We in the US have not built power in like 30 years, what the HELL is up with that!?

"My" benevolant government?

Here's a tip for educated debate: leave the ad homs at home and dont put words in someone';s mouth.

I notice you didnt answer my question at all, which is what is your problem with the so-called "Green agenda" and what specific policies do you think we should be able to implement without using that horrid 'government' you seem to despise so much?
