Anyone still wondering why some left-leaning folks on this site are accused of presenting an elitist attitude?Jim = left-wing fucktardNo. Because they do present an elitist attitude. You are all led by your big-money elitist front-runner, John Kerry, the richest man in the Senate.

Ah PP -
Well, lets put the whole picture togeter. The author works for a right-wing think tank that consistently is pushing positions for industry. He writes an article bashing science predictions on the natural environement as worthless, while disregarding the a lot of important information.
If the article went something like this - While ecologists have often underestimated man's effect on natural systems, there is often a deficit in understanding the complicated interactions of social policies, trends, and their effects to the environment - then if he presented some of the underestimates and some of the big mis-predictions it would be an objective report.
The guy is an industry shill. How about some orginal thoughts PP - ya gotta get those right-wing sites off your favorites list, or at least add some balance to them.
Here's the site, judge for yourself

Your reading comprehension isn't too good today.
You're lucky I read your fucking inane posts. I read the article, which, if your reading comprehension was at par you would have gotten from my post. Fuck off.

Hey, I don't disagree with many of the points the author made. There are a lot of chicken littles out there. They have ulterior motives. They would like to see more of the natural world protected, but they realize that the vast majority of the world, doesn't really give a shit about preserving biodiversity and preventing extinction. Knowing that people only care about their own preservation, they seek to recast the debate as one in which man and beast are in the same ship going down together.
On the other side of the coin, the conservative think tanks want us to believe that we can continue on our current path and that there is absolutely nothing to worry about. Technology will get us out of any problem that may arise. Thus far it has, but at the expense of the natural world. The problem is that this way of thinking doesn't assign any intrinsic value to anything that we don't consume.
Somewhere there should be a middle ground.
Dude, read the fact that he is citing data refuting earlier predictions. Whoopdifuckingdo if you don't "agree" with him or his facts; that doesn't change their validity.

It's nice to know that you wasted several hours of your time to come to the same conclusion I did without even hearing him speak.
hey roark...stfu
it was an hour, i don't consider it a waste. he has some good ideas. nothing wasteful about gaining some new perspective is there?
Depends on if it agrees with my persective or not.

Damn it now I have to read the whole damn thing so I can argue with youExcellent article, Peter, thank you. I know lots of tree-huggers and liberals will attempt to shit on this thread (as two have already) and turn a blind eye to the facts in the article. That does not take away from the message within the article - all these scientists claiming that the sky is falling don't necessarily see the whole picture of how people can adapt and overcome obstacles.
You'll agree once you read the article.

That was my thought.. I hope she owns the property so she can get some thing out of the mess.so, do you cash in when that happens or whatThere aren't as many wells in town as there once was. In the boom they were everywhere (I saw pictures). When I was there, 12-15 years ago, the downtown was a post-boom ghosttown and all the development had moved North of town. All the once nice neighborhoods had been abandoned to lower income people and a rampant drug trade was in full swing. Sad, really. But, I hold the place close to my heart as my life was threatened for the first time there...ah, memories.

no one realizes how much money you can rake in doing favors with ketchup.without even counting his wife's Heinz money.Uh, his wife is the heiress to the Heinz empire, dude. But I'm sure you knew that being the Portland-living, liberal fucktard that you are.

Both GWB and John Kerry were in Skull and Bones at Yale
Not to mention that John Kerry is the richest man in the Senate (House?) without even counting his wife's Heinz money.

and strangely they didn't steal my slowshoes.
That's because there wasn't a Nike emblem on them or they couldn't figure out how to sling them on a chain for ultimate bling bling.

Things that make me go "hmmm..." are those fucking boy bands. What the fuck is that all about? I mean, I 'm not even envious of the money - they have not talent and what talent they might have is used on material that isn't even theirs.

I do that every time I have to go to a shopping mall (which, thankfully, isn't very often).
I know you Mr. Roark, you love hanging out at the mall. Wandering through Nordstroms, The Bon, and lets not forget, Bath and Body Works!!
Well, good quality loofah sponges are important to me.
hey mr. roark only wants the finest clothes to wash when he's doing laundry
Mr. Roark is actually my other secret shoe shopping buddy. It takes a lot of moral support to ask for size 13 pumps, but I'm always will to provide him that.
Well, Nordstrom's did start as a shoe store.

Well, truth be told, the count did go up soon after I started posting on this board. But, in actuality, I'm at three (I think) that I considered serious. That chuck and crackbolter are just bitch wannabes.
