LVZ2881 Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 great brain trust of Oregon and California HAHAHA!!!!! thats on oxymoron just like Military intelligence..
Custom Hearse Posted February 10, 2009 Posted February 10, 2009 Well.... Oregon will be a great tourist attraction. It'll be the only state in the union that evolution took a giant leap and bound backwards. You can bring the kiddies to see the "greenies" living in caves, eating moss from trees, wearing Sabre toothed tiger clothes, and talking like: "Fire good", "Me hunt down down wild possum", and my all time favorite: "Me drag woman by hair after me club her...." What the real problem is, is that they want to get richer, by exploiting the concerns of the people to their advantage. And people ask me why did I move from California....

James Flowers Posted February 11, 2009 Posted February 11, 2009 When people come too their senses . They will realize that the number one problem is, that this Earth is just over populated. We are to busy with the human needs. We will destroy anything that gets in our way right or wrong." Mother Nature" has away to deal with the over population of all its creatures. There are check and balances in every thing in the wild. Not enough food ,water in an area creatures will die. The same thing happens to people. Only we do not get the message. We just keep on thinking we are smarter than "Mother Nature". Just look around the world and see all the problems of not enough of food ,water, oil, housing,jobs. It just goes on and on.
James W Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 With all due respect James, Oregon is hardly overcrowded and the proposed restrictions on our liberty will do ZERO to effect the condition of the earth.
Jairus Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 I have to agree. This earth can easily accept double the population we now enjoy, it just takes a lot less selfishness and greed.
James Flowers Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 (edited) I have to agree. This earth can easily accept double the population we now enjoy, it just takes a lot less selfishness and greed. While selfishness and greed is rampant in the world. That has never changed in history. That does not solve the problem of not enough jobs, food, water,pollution Of everything on earth. Name me one thing that is not over used and being depleted or polluted by the over population? You want to double the population? Tell me how you would supply the world with food , clean water and clean air, let alone jobs for everyone. That seams to be a very big problem today is it not? Maybe you meant that in jest ,if so sorry for my rant on you. Edited February 12, 2009 by mustanglover1951
Jairus Posted February 12, 2009 Posted February 12, 2009 Dude, I asked for this thread be closed days ago because it has NOTHING to do with models. But.. since you asked.... The selfishness and greed I was talking about is that which I attribute to corrupt dictators. All of the problems you cite as your reasons for too many people on this planet are the direct result of governmental over-control and corruption. The reasons for this are varied as the dictators who run them but generally it is because they use the problems to keep themselves in control over the people. They seek food and financial aid from foreign powers and then that aid is used to build palaces and expensive cars for the ruling elite. Sadam Hussein had what... 9, 10 Palaces? How many did he need anyway? Mexican officials routinely take bags of cash from drug czars to look the other way while the people live in squalor. They cannot find jobs so they risk their lives and the lives of their families by sneaking across the border into America to work. When the Communists took control of South Vietnam they chose to maintain control through fear by killing all those with a higher education to avoid future uprising. I could give you many many examples from history but I am sure you are well aware of how corrupt the government in Mexico, the Republic of Nicaragua, Ethiopia, North Korea,....etc, etc. The people of Bangladesh go hungry while the leaders continue to seek nuclear weapons? IT'S CRAZY! They should be buying seed and tractors instead of weapons. They should be mining minerals and trading with their neighbors. Instead these tin-pot dictators want to play on the International scene with the big boys like a stupid game of king of the hill. Power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely! This earth is extremely generous to those who would work her and she can provided all we need as long as those in power would put some of that power down and allow the people and the free market to exist. Do not be blinded by ecologists who scream that we are destroying the planet. It's just another attempt to create a power base for corrupt individuals with seemingly altruistic purposes. This planet has a way of fixing itself if left alone and there is not a single thing we can to do to actually destroy the planet. It is the height of mankind's hubris to even consider that we have the power to effect the wind or the rain. It is just irrational fear that says we can actually save or kill the earth.
