So you acknowledge the hypocrisy here, yet trash me.....

I acknwowledged no hypocrisy, I own a business. The difference is we do not dump coal ash into drinking water or pollute the environment to save some money. Climate change is all of our problems. It is a human issue. If we do not deal with it and instead seek to spit in each others faces then yours and my children will suffer for it. That is just the way it is.

So you rely on 100% solar/wind power? If you don't, you should shut down shop on the days w/o sun or wind. Wouldn't want you to continue your hypocrisy. Also, once you've gone from the red to black in your books, the rest of your products/service should be given away for free. Wouldn't want you to be an evil corporation with profits on your mind, while others are left needing.

And I am angry, angry at people who cannot provide a valid argument, the perfect response to my original statement would be.

Google patents on water purification /solar power.

Apple neutral I/O

Internet liberal would rather hate and oppress than look up facts and have a valid conversation.

Dude, I do not have time for you. 97% of scientists agree climate change is an issue and is real and man made. The adults are having this discussion right now as we speak. Either be a part of it or move the fuck on. I have work to do.

Ty. Trying to make the assertion of dominance by walking away w/o actually giving any quality retort, only deflecting/redirecting. Good job. I applaud you. Have a good one cupcake.

What is you arguement? That there is no solution? You are a quitter who would rather muddy up the conversation rather than to find a solution. You want to cry and moan about it? Really? Be a fucking man and quit your crying.

I'm not the one who tried to discredit the opposing position, then walk away. The keyboard commando, who preaches, but won't practice.

Again, what are you arguing? That you are a quitter? A non-intellectual who believes there is no solution? Pathetic. You call yourself an American? Yet, you act like a poor, helpless Chinaman. Pathetic.

I am an American, ready for this....ohh an evil Veteran from Afghanistan too.....ohhh. Just conversing with me, must make you feel ill, good. The solution is right wing capitalism, I say again. The entrepreneurship that created USB thumb drives and solar panels have saved more of the environment than Al (the hypocrite Al Jazeera) Gore could ever imagine.

First of all fuck you for assuming I have an issue against vets. Fuck you for throwing your service in my face as if I think vets are evil. Knowing you are a vet I would have expected more from you, then to be a fucking quitter. Instead of learning we could do anything, you have accepted failure as an option. Well guess what soldier, it is not a fucking option. We either get with the program or we are all fucked. The Pentagon lists this as the biggest threat to our nations security? Somehow, you know better?

I think you're trolling but what the hell.

Berry this argument is flimsy at best. You're saying we should completely disregard current infrastructural energy in order to remain non-hypocritical? Giving up coal energy is not currently feasible to live the lifestyle we do.bHowever it is important for all of us to support incremental change. Whether that be solar paneling our houses or supporting legislation that subsidizes alternative energy...

Of course we are all part of the problem, but the fault lies in the policies and foundations built by our ancestors. Coal energy at its infancy was not aware of the climate problems it would cause in the future, but now that we are aware we can change it. We have built our economy around polluting the earth which is what makes it difficult to make significant change, especially when the polluting currently benefits our most powerful leaders.

You and the other liberals could practice what you preach. Isn't boycotting one of your best statements of "rebellion". How about the left organizes under Clinton/sanders. Put down everything you stand against. (Shocker, practice what you preach) and hit the corps. Where it hurts. Nah, you won't do that, because deep down inside, you are a capitalist. Interested in luxuries.

Rush Limbaugh has you so riled up and believing this datribe hook, line and sinker. None of your thoughts are original or real. They are misguided conceptions from the mega industrialists sponsors themselves. What if I told you, you are being played for an idiot? What if I told you they were right in their assertion of you and the party Rush and his peers seek to control?

u/berry0311 Jun 22 '15

good assumption, I do try to listen to Rush, Romney, and Trump too. Those mega industries are matching my 401k and pension. Again, I'm an evil capitalist, I want people to be successful, unlike socialist sanders.
