KellY wrote:I hate to say it SED, but I agree with De Facto on this one- there are many viable alternatives to oil -maybe not enough for us to suddenly go cold turkey, but enough to start seriously moving away from it. Solar, wind, tidal, biodiesel (I have heard that hemp does make very effective fuel), not to mention greater fuel efficiancy can all eliminate our dependance on the Middle East for energy. And I weep with frustration to think of what might have been done if only a tenth of the money spent on going to war with Iraq had been spent on researching and developing those alternatives.
Viable, but not massively cheap- less profit to be had for the upper 10%.

...the cunt.



SED stop pretending that you actually give a rats ass about any of this. It is so transparently clear that you don't.

Definitely, Rob. I do think the war really was about controlling oil for the economic benefit of a few - as SED seemed to as well. I just disagreed with his idea that oil is a necessity that we'll be dependant on for the forseeable future.

So let me get this straight.

SED was not capable of saying what Kelly and Rob said as intelligently as they said it for himself?

Am I understanding this correctly?

And you're not capable of saying something without Lily Flower tagging along to buttress any points you try to make? I thought your sock days were over.

And you were behaving so well.

Ok ok....so seriously now....let me see if I got this straight,

Bush now wants to know what happened to the wepons of mass destruction too.

He also wants an investigation into why he had bad intelligence....( intelligence)

But he wants an internal investigation not an external investigation.

this amoungst other things, and wants to go into space.

maybe he needs to investigate the space between his ears?

Why would it be a bummer? Lilly's certainly never been able to answer any question you've ever put forth.

There's no way the alternative energy industry can fuel civilization like oil. There is no replacement for it. It grows food, pumps water, runs cars.

Next time you are in a snowstorm, try heating your house with solar energy.

Man (and woman) has survived many centuries before oil.

Plain and simple, It's time for the world to grow up and let the intelligent be creative in the ways they were ment to be creative.

there are many alternatives that when combined will and can solve the dependacy on oil.

It's up to the most intelligent to be allowed to prove it.

You know, that's true, people existed before the oil industry rose up. Their children tended to die young, and most of the planet lived on farms where they toiled long, hard hours in conditions the average, modern hipster could not handle.

That high-tech gimmick you are using to post is the product of a high-end technology propelled by inexpensive energy. There is no substitute for oil. If there was, it would be utilized now.

Not true.

The oil advertising and media industry sold the world on the idea that it is not possible, but it is and has been proven many times that it could be done. the oil and car industry have bought the pattents and destroyed them to prevent it from being true.

Man is much smarter now and can overcome these now small obsticles.

Yah sure. You hear this from people who believe in zero-point energy, or cold fusion, or that great world-beater, the perpetual motion machine. Just because something violates all known physical properties of time and space, doesn't prevent it being huckstered to believers as the next great energy source.

The interesting thing about these kind of legends, like the one where Detroit buys out the guy who has built the motor that runs on water so they can bury the plans, is that they are based on wish, not on science.

Man is just more technologically proficient, not smarter. You can't outwit mother nature, or basic scientific fact. Nothing you've posted so far posits a replacement for oil except wishful thinking on your part.

Which makes a nice segue into my basic theme, that the US is in Iraq to maintain control of one of the few remaining hugely productive oil fields in the world. All else is fiction, PR lies or collateral effects.

Post by DE FACTO » Sat Jan 31, 2004 8:22 pm

I must apologize to Ramen and SED for over estimating thier intelligence.

Perhaps I was rather severe in bringing you the truth.

However, why is it that niether of you have asked me to erect the facts I speak of?

anyone for that matter?

Is it fear that I may be right?

or is it that it may be difficult to prove me wrong and it is just much easier to run from the facts?

woa is me. :cry:

I like a good debate as well as the next person.
