  1. i really dislike peta and the methods they choose to get their messages heard, they do pose a lot of fair arguments but it is clouded in their almost zombie like mantra. i once saw a peta rep on a news show, they where talking about lobsters. she sounded brain washed and just kept repeating the same things over and over again.<br />if you want to see some thing interesting watch a show from the bbc called supermarket secrets, they show a lot of horrible farms and explain how our demand for cheap food has hurt the animals that we eat.<br />the links are below:<br /><a href="http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51049" target="_blank">http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51049</a> part 1<br /><a href="http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51050" target="_blank">http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51050</a> part 2<br /><a href="http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51048" target="_blank">http://quicksilverscreen.com/watch?video=51048</a> part 3<br /><br /> one more addition: SOURCE: Center for Consumer Freedom Nov 14, 2007 02:00 ET CCF Launches Global Campaign to Expose PETA's Animal-Killing Track Record "PETA Kills Animals" Website Launches in Five Languages WASHINGTON, DC--(Marketwire - November 14, 2007) - While loudly complaining about the "unethical" treatment of animals by restaurant owners, grocers, farmers, scientists, and clothing retailers, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) has been hiding its own dirty little secret. Public records from the State of Virginia show that PETA has killed at least 14,479 dogs, cats, and other "companion animals" at its headquarters. Today the nonprofit Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) re-launched its wildly popular website focusing on this hypocrisy -- www.PetaKillsAnimals.com -- in the English, French, Italian, German, and Russian languages. "PETA is not what it seems," said CCF Director of Research David Martosko. "The group kills around 90 percent of the flesh-and-blood animals it takes in. As PETA tries to globalize its appalling 'animal liberation' message, people all around the world need to know about the group's horrible hypocrisy." PETA raises more than $30 million (US) every year, largely from pet owners who falsely believe their donations help animals. In reality, PETA has been killing pets for many years. Meanwhile, it has spent tens of millions of dollars on programs equating meat eaters with Nazis, opposing live-saving medical research, scaring young children away from drinking milk, and even defending arsonists and other violent extremists. "Someone needs to tell the world the truth about PETA," Martosko added. "PETA accepts animal-lovers' donations with one hand while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens with the other." Documents and photos related to PETA's massive animal-killing program are now available online at: English: www.PetaKillsAnimals.com French: www.PetaTueAnimaux.fr German: www.PetaTotetTiere.de Italian: www.PetaUccideAnimali.it Russian: www.PetaKillsAnimals.ru During a 2007 U.S. criminal trial, a PETA employee acknowledged killing pets and disposing of their bodies in a trash dumpster. Another PETA employee testified that PETA has a walk-in freezer for storing dead pets, and that PETA uses a crematory service to discard over a ton of dead pets each month.
  2. just found a really good site presenting the other side of the global warming issue. http://www.globalwarminghoax.com/news.php
  3. Global warming: Reasons why it might not actually exist Daily Telegraph December 31, 2008 Temperatures are falling, not rising [b]The earth was hotter 1,000 years ago Evidence from all over the world indicates that the earth was hotter 1,000 years ago than it is today. Research shows that temperatures were higher in what is known as the Mediaeval Warming period than they were in the 1990s. [b]The earth’s surface temperature is not at record levels Ice is not disappearing Arctic website Crysophere Today reported that Arctic ice volume was 500,000 sq km greater than this time last year. Additionally, Antarctic sea-ice this year reached its highest level since satellite records began in 1979. Polar bear numbers are also at record levels. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/earth/environme...ally-exist.html [/b][/b]
  4. Environment minister Sammy Wilson: I still think man-made climate change is a con Belfast Telegraph December 31, 2008 Spending billions on trying to reduce carbon emissions is one giant con that is depriving third world countries of vital funds to tackle famine, HIV and other diseases, Sammy Wilson said. The DUP minister has been heavily criticised by environmentalists for claiming that ongoing climatic shifts are down to nature and not mankind. But while acknowledging his views on global warming may not be popular, the East Antrim MP said he was not prepared to be bullied by eco fundamentalists. "I'll not be stopped saying what I believe needs to be said about climate change," he said most of the people who shout about climate change have not read one article about it "I think in 20 years' time we will look back at this whole climate change debate and ask ourselves how on earth were we ever conned into spending the billions of pounds which are going into this without any kind of rigorous examination of the background, the science, the implications of it all. Because there is now a degree of hysteria about it, fairly unformed hysteria I've got to say as well. http://www.belfasttelegraph.co.uk/news/env...n-14123972.html </H1>
  5. 34 paladin ursin haven't played in two months or so, don't really miss it. more of a console gamer. in high school i got addicted to ultima online played that game for almost 5 years.
  6. I hold no religious beliefs I chalk this up to good/bad luck. What do you think? My 3 ton truck was leaking oil tonight just my bad luck after already having it fixed, I decided at the last minute to take my mother kia sportage to work. As I was going accross a bridge into downtown Suncook their is an apartment on the right just after the bridge. A man with his family in a Corolla came right out in front of me I managed to stop in time just barely. Had my truck not been leaking oil I feel I might have hurt some one real bad. I don't even want to think about what kind of damage a 3 ton excursion would do to a corolla at 25 mph, I would have hit the drivers side door area.
  7. cruising on the motorcycle- during warmer months video games- more when its cold i go to the batting cage occasionally starting to get into airsoft don't know if this is a hobby, but i like the stock market. researching, investing, the ups and downs it great fun. hopefully profitable to.
  8. actually these games have had the opposite effect on music. they have found that games such as guitar hero are actually getting kids back into music, instead of driving them to the fantasy rock star analogy. as for me i'm horrible at the game. i don't play guitar, used to play a saxaphone but that was years ago. i see this as a party game, get a group of friends, break out a hookah and the liqueor and have a good time.
  9. Rothschild interview, Alex does get a little mad during the interview but that doesn't subtract from what comes out of rothschilds mouth. Part one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YuNLahhZFJ0 Part two: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wnofms6H7zc Part three: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p7x_SBXInx4 Part four: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fzy6O-uR6FA Part five: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQLOnQZGLaw
  10. Nice article ghostofdavid. I forgot about that, Alex Jones did an interview with one of the Rothschilds when Alex told him Mars was melting as well and that it was a complete solar system warm up not jsut earth. Rothschild tried to tell him that Mars was melting because mars was closer to the sun than earth. I'll find that audio clip and post it.
  11. This letter I posted below was published on the National Post website Dec 12th. I've posted the letter. The letter can be found here: http://www.nationalpost.com/news/story.html?id=164002 Open Letter to the Secretary-General of the United Nations Dec. 13, 2007 His Excellency Ban Ki-Moon Secretary-General, United Nations New York, N.Y. Dear Mr. Secretary-General, Re: UN climate conference taking the World in entirely the wrong direction It is not possible to stop climate change, a natural phenomenon that has affected humanity through the ages. Geological, archaeological, oral and written histories all attest to the dramatic challenges posed to past societies from unanticipated changes in temperature, precipitation, winds and other climatic variables. We therefore need to equip nations to become resilient to the full range of these natural phenomena by promoting economic growth and wealth generation. The United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has issued increasingly alarming conclusions about the climatic influences of human-produced carbon dioxide (CO2), a non-polluting gas that is essential to plant photosynthesis. While we understand the evidence that has led them to view CO2 emissions as harmful, the IPCC's conclusions are quite inadequate as justification for implementing policies that will markedly diminish future prosperity. In particular, it is not established that it is possible to significantly alter global climate through cuts in human greenhouse gas emissions. On top of which, because attempts to cut emissions will slow development, the current UN approach of CO2 reduction is likely to increase human suffering from future climate change rather than to decrease it. The IPCC Summaries for Policy Makers are the most widely read IPCC reports amongst politicians and non-scientists and are the basis for most climate change policy formulation. Yet these Summaries are prepared by a relatively small core writing team with the final drafts approved line-by-line by &shy;government &shy;representatives. The great &shy;majority of IPCC contributors and &shy;reviewers, and the tens of thousands of other scientists who are qualified to comment on these matters, are not involved in the preparation of these documents. The summaries therefore cannot properly be represented as a consensus view among experts. Contrary to the impression left by the IPCC Summary reports: z Recent observations of phenomena such as glacial retreats, sea-level rise and the migration of temperature-sensitive species are not evidence for abnormal climate change, for none of these changes has been shown to lie outside the bounds of known natural variability. z The average rate of warming of 0.1 to 0. 2 degrees Celsius per decade recorded by satellites during the late 20th century falls within known natural rates of warming and cooling over the last 10,000 years. z Leading scientists, including some senior IPCC representatives, acknowledge that today's computer models cannot predict climate. Consistent with this, and despite computer projections of temperature rises, there has been no net global warming since 1998. That the current temperature plateau follows a late 20th-century period of warming is consistent with the continuation today of natural multi-decadal or millennial climate cycling. In stark contrast to the often repeated assertion that the science of climate change is "settled," significant new peer-reviewed research has cast even more doubt on the hypothesis of dangerous human-caused global warming. But because IPCC working groups were generally instructed (see http://ipcc-wg1.ucar.edu/wg1/docs/wg1_time...2006-08-14.pdf) to consider work published only through May, 2005, these important findings are not included in their reports; i.e., the IPCC assessment reports are already materially outdated. The UN climate conference in Bali has been planned to take the world along a path of severe CO2 restrictions, ignoring the lessons apparent from the failure of the Kyoto Protocol, the chaotic nature of the European CO2 trading market, and the ineffectiveness of other costly initiatives to curb greenhouse gas emissions. Balanced cost/benefit analyses provide no support for the introduction of global measures to cap and reduce energy consumption for the purpose of restricting CO2 emissions. Furthermore, it is irrational to apply the "precautionary principle" because many scientists recognize that both climatic coolings and warmings are realistic possibilities over the medium-term future. The current UN focus on "fighting climate change," as illustrated in the Nov. 27 UN Development Programme's Human Development Report, is distracting governments from adapting to the threat of inevitable natural climate changes, whatever forms they may take. National and international planning for such changes is needed, with a focus on helping our most vulnerable citizens adapt to conditions that lie ahead. Attempts to prevent global climate change from occurring are ultimately futile, and constitute a tragic misallocation of resources that would be better spent on humanity's real and pressing problems.

  12. Mr Gore: Gore's 20 room private mansion uses 20 times the national U.S. average of gas and electricity , as Gore lavishes himself in his heated swimming pool while poor people and the middle class await the onslaught of carbon taxes to eviscerate any disposable income they have left. that link right there is from the bbc thats as main stream as you can get, i've looked at the scientific part of it and i don't find it credible. now the way these celebrities are living while at the same time telling me i'm not doing enough and need to cut back that just makes me mad and has everything to do with the issue. Gore's 20 room private mansion, think of his "carbon footprint" campared to mine. But yet he comes out and starts yapping about how its going to be the death of us all and i need to pay a tax. I just don't buy it.
  13. i give up on the global warming issue, look at the stats i posted of these so called global warming people including Gore. if their that worried about it then i want to see them put their money where their mouth is. i think it is a completely natural thing we are experiencing there for i refuse to pay a tax for "carbon emissions" i think were just going to have to agree to disagree on this one and what is the problem with cut and paste their news articles for crying out loud.
