What Do We Think About Climate Change

[Richard Atkin]

Alan White Quote: "The cause of neurosis is self-disagreement. Self-disagreement comes of wanting ones cake but wanting to eat it too. Unable to agree with oneself, the psyche splits into a cake-eater and a cake-saver, each of which is certain that it knows what to do with a cake.
Neither side ever really knows anything of value since each is always missing half of the picture."

If Arnold black wotsit can't be President of the USof A 'cos he wasn't born ther how come Washington made it?? He wasn't born there either!! Typical change the rules to suit - that's politicians for you!

Charlie this little old country (like America) has had some damn fine leaders - just not this century is all!!

[masalai]

Oh but which century? - - You know very well that over time, history is modified to make everyone look good - well nearly everyone

[safewalrus]

Probably the tenth, eleventh and twelveth - no bloody colonials to worry us back then, we could plunder all we wanted and not give a damn!!

Gentlemen,

Apologies. I could not dissect the video from the article, so you'll have to read a bit. It's worth waiting for though!

Did you know that dumb people are unable to recognise the difference between a dumb person who pretends to be intelligent, and a person who is actually intelligent?
A dumb person will believe that an intelligent person is someone who knows all the answers. If a person is running for president, he/she is taught to answer each question IMMEDIATELY. If there is more than a second of 'silent thinking time' after a question, then the dumb people will accuse the candidate of stalling or struggling, and therefore must be dumb....or hiding something. Dumb people don't pay much attention to the actual detail of what is being said. Instead, they focus more on the 'style' of the speaker.

This phenomena is well documented. Unfortunately, the people who would be best at running a country, are also the people who are most likely to screw up in front of the cameras.
Most people are dumbish, to downright dumb...and many are borderline retarded. This means that you can't really attack the president for being dumb. You have to blame the people who voted for him.

Democracy is not a perfect system.
This is why most countries, including the USA, do not function as a true democracy.

I am probably in the 'dumbish' category, because I hardly ever listen to politicians....and I am affected by their style or charisma. If Arnold ran for president, I would vote for him. Terminator 2 is the best movie ever made.

Seeing her poll numbers falling (allegedly because Obama is more effective at showing "feminine" qualities (caring about people, openness, etc.), Hillary Clinton has apparently decided to try to go macho, launching all out attacks mocking him and his "vision". One problem is that she has never taken lessons to learn to project her voice without sounding like a shrill fishmonger. One commentator said being forced to listen to her attacking Obama could trigger complaints of torture to Amnesty International.

Shallow, I know.

[Richard Atkin]

Lol!!

Oh really? ive never heard her speak. Theres usually a mad dash for the remote when I see her face on the box.

Oh did you see George Bush on Jay lenno a few days back. My missus thought it was him , she got right up to the Tv, She said"thats him isnt it" I said I-I-I dont know. Sounds like him!!

[safewalrus]

Dick why bother telling us your dumb, the majority on here are not that dumb to be able to work out who is dumb and who isn't! But it's nice to have our gut instincts confirmed, thankyou!

Walrus.....I can't find one of those little smiley faces that does the finger

Hey, just wondering why you call yourself safewalrus. Do you have a huge droopy moustache or something? That would be cool.

[masalai]

He could have used "BatVampire" but his "K9's" are more the size of those on a Walrus, and the "safe" bit gives a non-threatening note to a vicious old bastard.

[Richard Atkin]

LOL Masalai Vicious old bastard....naaah....he's British, bastardness is to be expected.
Besides, I think he was trying to bait me because of my false modesty. I'm an arrogant bastard sometimes. It's fair to say I have not met a dumb person in this forum. I still think the world is full of dumb people though.

[masalai]

On behalf of Sir Walrus, a Royal Fellow of the Order of Bastards, I accept your inadvertent apology. - - I, Lord masalai, Illegitimate Claimant of the title, by birthright, do hereby decree...
