Are you not opposed to oil spills?

Oil's Well that Spoils Well
Asking Greenpeace to give up their boats would be the equivalent of asking the US to give up our WMD. Oops, I forgot, we don't have any WMD, only the bad guys have WMD. We have defensive countermeasures, but I digress.
The boats are one of their weapons Greenpeace uses in the war on polluters, would you ask the oil companies to give up their tankers? Or their offshore untaxed earnings? Each side will use the weapons available to them, something about all is fair comes to mind. I'm certain that if the oil companies could devise a product that was non-polluting then the Greenpeace boys would park their boats, and make nice. |

They aught to just use whale oil. I hear it's pretty clean. These whales aren't doing anything but taking up space. If they start using whales maybe the sea levels would go down and make room for the ice that's supposed to flood the ocean.

Oil Spills are a necessary evil of the oil industry. Unfortunately accidents happen, even with Greenpeace on the job.

Yes, and Greenpeace wants the older, more dangerous style (single-hull) of ship to not be used. That doesn't make their use of oil-burning ships hypocritical in any way.

I would also like to add:
1. Penn and Teller have an agenda, that is well known. 2. Climate change is real, but only in the sense that it changes regularly. Since the Earths temperatures have fluxuated throughout history, why is this time any different? Do some research on that- Global warming is a farce....Wake up! |

Climate cycles
I remember in the late 60's and early 70's when all the news was about the upcoming ice age.

Greenpeace doesn't stop there. I once donated to Greenpeace a long time ago when I was a scuba diver, and my name is in the manifest of the rainbow warrior. But I have come to question much of the "green" agenda thanks to Al Gore, inventor of the Internet....

Swing Voter
Well I'm one of those Swing Voters you were talking about.
Whether or not you believe that global warming is real or not I say it makes sense to switch to other forms of energy that WE can control as a matter of national security. I would prefer that those various other sources of energy be non-polluting forms of energy just because I HATE SMOG! I support gun ownership but also believe that there should be stricter rules about who we allow to own guns. I think we should re-deploy all the troops that are guarding the oil pipelines in Iraq to the Texas border and give them orders to shoot anything that moves. I think government should operate within a BALANCED budget, I do. I think that anyone who receives assistance from the government should be required to either earn it or pay it back, but I also understand that poor hungry people are a bigger threat to society than wealthy well-fed ones. Some social assistance programs are necessary to prevent revolution. I'll leave it up to you to figure out what my political persuasions are. |
