According to the news, I was under the impression that the funloving canadians had traded those oil sands to the US for an as yet unnamed pick in the next hockey draft. Bush has to keep touting oil as our savior as long as Cheney/Halliburton's calling the shots and there's a retreating glacier somewhere in the world still struggling to drip; off the record, Georgie supports investments in perpetual motion and cold fusion. </p> http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/topic/2642/page/6#post-29426 Wed, 14 May 2008 17:29:32 +0000 delenn13 29426@http://www.giveawayoftheday.com/forums/ <p>This is a IB4TL Post.

OTOH, a retort referencing our suddenly $4 gas or suddenly rising food prices (when other parts of the world have been paying much more for much longer) risks charges of illogical fallacy.</p> <p>"what the hell is wrong with you people" - Rhetorical question, that. #11 uses "you people", condemns Americans and chastises poster #5 who has a UK profile link. Talk about a broad brush. Whether #11 is from some failed marxist enclave or a war torn refugee camp, it's nice to see she's got access to an Internet AMERICA created.</p> <p>WRONG - "Americans don't appreciate anything"<br /> RIGHT - "Many Americans are spoiled, haven't been taught to appreciate much, and most don't realize how high they are on the global materialism percentile pyramid."</p> <p>BACKASSWARDS - "You get almost everything free."<br /> RIGHT - "America is (for now) a top consumer of global products. (that means taxpayers <strong>PAY</strong> for things, one way or another) Sadly, that means we're also currently the leading driver of global environmental degradation, though China's going to win that olympic event.<br /> The havenots of the world are the complainers, since they're <strong>never</strong> satisfied with freebies, especially, it seems, what an extraordinarily successful and creative America has given back in the way of foreign aid, emergency relief, debt write-downs, protection, subsidies, etc.<br /> Our success is sputtering and we're slipping down Rome's path. US vs global comparisons show how fast we're plunging - health care, life spans, birth survival, education, telcomm coverage/speeds, and other quality of life issues - because too many Americans are too quick to give up their most precious rights (and freedoms) chasing after failed socialist policies and nutjob terrorists, and the traitors in Congress can't be held accountable. </p> <p>Dear Irina (#11), you're free to mock and chortle. I'm sure when America sinks into history's dustbin and Commie China is in the driver's seat, you'll be sooooo much better off.
