Truckers' Trucking Forum/Message Board - The Premiere Truck Driver Forum

Politics Do Not Pass/Pass With Care. Today's truckers are far more educated and cognizant of the issues regarding politics due to the sharp increase in talk radio, and various trucking news media sources. Talk politics. Do truckers like politicians?

Take a gander at that Mr. Know-it-all......

Brazil although a socialistic nation.....has the sense to drill...unlike the US where we allow liberal lunatics to force everyone into taking the bus or drive the Prius......

I would imagine if you libs have your way....instead of Petes and KW's, we'll be tugging trailers with mopeds......




God....I hope Darwin was right.....the duncical will all die off.......soon......

I rest my case...words mean things...

though they are the most green potential energy sources.
"Green" energy?

Quote:
renewable is utilizing carbon from our current carbon cycle, converting plants back into energy. zero net additional carbon realeased.

doing the math, we are so over populated that plants as a fuel source is ridiculous... we can't replace them as fast as we'd use them... (sorry al)
No kiddin'...but "the will of the peolpe" changes all this, right?



Quote:
coal and petrol is here until its gone... we are just kidding ourselves thinking anything else... though I would prefer conserving so it lasts as long as possible. (rationing)


Trusting who to devise the "scheme" to determine" fair?
You?

Quote:
I don't think there is seriously even enough raw materials to solar ourselves out of energy debt. sun shines peak and at best 8 hours a day meaning we are missing 2/3rds potential...
That ranks up there with "renewable and green energy source"


sci-fi: best bet:

plant a factory on the moon making solar panels... and beam the energy to earth with microwaves... yadda yadda yadda... to many people, why bother we'll out grow our food supply pretty soon anyways... then the disease comes... then the problem is solved... population reduced and plenty to go around... humans are as stupid as rabbits...

Only in the world/minds of "psuedo intellectual elitists".

Energy is NOT a "product". Energy is a "conversion" of a product to a usable form.

In the arena of "petroleum based fossil", i.e. carbon based "conversion" where does "synthetic" lubricants fit?

WHY is it the "elite and the enlightened" are deemed to be the "most knowledgable" and constantly make a concerted effort to "redefine" words and terms to make what they "feel" absolute?

We have (even in this forum) a few who attempt to "qualify their desires" with nonsense...why? Why do we (citizens) allow the perversion of our way of life to be threatened by "psuedo intellectual elitism"?

They will be screwed because people like you believe the best way to turn the economy around is to tax, and spend, tax and spend..

Anyone who "advocates" for control is not the least bit concerned about jobs, or the future of anyone.

mr know it all admitted earlier oil is here to stay until every last drop is gone... but it will end... for the majority of us because of cost...

for the rest it will just run out...

it pollutes and before it is all burned the atmosphere will be unbreathable... (picture closing all the windows and firing up the harley in your living room) lol

still too many people... and its not a doom and gloom end of days prophesy... its just common sense....

and mother earth will correct the problem... like it or not...

people like me sent letters to senators and congressman simply stating, not one penny goes to bailing out anybody or you're out of a job...

I personally thought the best way to turn the economy around was to let it collapse.

apparently the wealthy puppet masters didn't like the idea of redistributing wealth via fire sales... so they chose to bail themselves out instead.

I think the rich should pay the same 30-50% in taxes that I do... not 5-10% and get cuts in line for corporate welfare when their screwing of the american public didn't work out for them like they thought it should...

do-overs in my book are you go to to the end of the line penniless and start over. (maybe some jail time first)

I'd rather the people (supposedly the government) have control than the multinational corporations...

unfortunately my government is owned by the corporations

so I'm not getting anything I want regardless... lol
