Al Gore/solving global warming for years.

Suggest you re-read the post before you chastise me.

I objected to being called a nasty name. I am an environmentalist and it's integral to my religious practice. The canard VLV was applauding was both untrue of me and more hurtful because she and I have already discussed why I take it personally. When you are spewing out blanket insults, you are insulting me.

What I said is that the know-nothing attitude is not a survival trait ... the last quoted paragraph explains why.

And insisting on having whatever we want, cheap and regardless of the harm it does is stupid. So is smoking, driving recklessly, shooting heroin and cutting off your nose to spite your face.

If VLV is insisting that environmentalists are just "enviro-thugs" without looking at the evidence supporting what they're saying ... that's willful ignorance. Only she knows whether she really looked at any evidence at all ... no way to tell from her post.

And I didn't ask that anyone stop posting their own opinions ... just lay off the indiscriminate name-calling.

I didn't want to get into politics, but this is one of the reasons I got away from liberalism some years ago, when I figured out that playing the victim and looking for insults where none are intended wasn't the way I wanted to live. But enough about that.

A person using a quote from a link to another publication does not equal name-calling, no matter how you slice it. Besides, how do you know what "evidence" for your environmental concerns anyone else has read or not read? How do you know how VLV or anyone else forms their opnions? Maybe she has a valid, scientific reason for her reasoning and maybe not, but it looks to me like the one doing the indiscriminate name-calling here is you.

I don't want to go against the terms of service, so I'll have to shut up now.

Have a nice day.

......

That has got to be the most nauseating video I've ever seen. LOL

Once again, you didn't bother to read the post ... I said I had no idea whether she looked at the evidence or not ... the only thing she posted was the slam, no exposition, no line of reasoning ... just an applauding smiley with no explanation of how applauding a nasty name does not constitute agreeing with it.
