What Do We Think About Climate Change

You're right about your friend's job; it's more of an art than it is a science. You have to have a 'feel' for it, kind of like riding the currents on a river. I'd say my job is more dangerous, because I'm face to face with the equipment and the pressures. But his is more complex.

Yeah, I'd buy Hoyt a round or two. And Jimbo, too. Mark? He could definitely pay for his own, and if he bought me one I wouldn't drink it.

 

nah
I pretty much take the whole internet thing with a grain of salt
some folks get a bit crazy with how they treat one another in this thing but its all just a function of hiding behind a keyboard rather than dealing with folks face to face.

I still get asked to help bounce at my favorite bar from time to time when they need a hand, and I can assure you, folks are a lot more polite when your in there face than when you have a bit of distance and they figure they have a running start. Reminds me of the internet sometimes, some folks are real brave at 100' down the road even after being all yes sir, no sir on the way to the door.

although it might be entertaining to get you guys in the same room and start feeding you drinks
ok my evil side

anyway ya I'll ask him for a tittle next time I see him and try and relay it to you
hell you might even know the guy as Im sure its all the same union and all

oh well
still waiting for Hoyt to come up with those failed predictions and by who

cheers

ps
I notice Sloweddy did not take me up on my offers to resolve that picture question
seemed reasonable to me that if we could agree to rescind all unsupported comments we might actually start getting somewhere on this thread
I suppose since a brief search did not produce that picture of the heartlands tin shack and since I cheerfully have no intention of wasting my time digging through 7000 posts that I'd be willing to retract that "one" if only the deniers would retract there innumerable statements that were made without viable support.
seems fair to me since such a big deal was made of it and since the deniers regularly fail to provide any supporting data for there claims
I think its nice that it gives us room for a compromise +

 

THink of all the carbon credits you would earn by being in even greater darkness.

 

Think of all the intelligent remarks you could have made, instead of that one...

 

Oh, come on cowboys! What's with the softy approach? Where's the testosterone, where's the adrenaline...?

Age catching up? We all know that civilised behaviour is not the forte of this thread.

Grab'em by the fricken balls and start squeezing until he admits the NYTC was all his wife's idea...

 

Let me ask you this, Boston. Those guys who get brave and mouthy once they're a hundred feet down the road... would you buy them a drink, next time you saw them?

 

I think what he means is once he gets them pissed drunk he can pound em into the asphalt and blame it on them.

 

depends if they already started swinging or not
if not and none of the other guys are handy I typically step in and say something like "hey guys lets cool it ok, how about if I buy a round and you two keep your distance for the rest of the night." If they still want to cause trouble and none of the other guys is around yet I suggest we talk about it outside. If that doesn't work then I start getting serious, but I typically give em a lot of room to settle down and not cause a ruckus in front of the customers.
keeps the management happy and I didn't wreck my cloths. Otherwise if all else fails I jump the bigger of the two or whoever is being the bigger *** and drag them out backward in a choke hold. Works (almost) every time, unless I get my *** kicked which has been known to happen. But your really not supposed to get physical unless you have back up. Thing is I dont wear a mike so if say one of the bar tenders cant get the attention of one of the bouncers or bar backs then sometimes they look at me like "get these clowns out of hear", and Im kinda depending on them to get some help to me soonest.

buying a round often works out pretty well

if they are already in it I just choke down whoever's winning
not trying to be MR tough guy or anything, I'll sneak up on him from behind and grab him before he even knows Im in the game


my two cents

I did, but I really like that one.

 

In case he wants to write a letter.

 

Why do you bite the hand that feeds you? Every ounce of NG you process adds CO2 to the atmosphere. Why not take that natural gas and generate your own electricity so you won't buy from Arizona? So many questions, so no answers.

 

Ah, your mudder wears army boots.

They are absolutely a pro business, pro taxpayer, and pro libertarian/conservative think tank. They embody smaller government, free enterprise, lower taxes and keeping the government within the cofines of the founding fathers. See, that's the fundemental difference between you and me Troy, I don't have a problem with their agenda. But they are far more than shills for corporations. That their board of directors has had major corporate officers is no surprise and no crime, yet! I see far more evil coming from ever growing government regulations and mandates than I see from corporations doing what they are supposed to do. Earn profits for their shareholders within the limits of the law.

See, I don't see free enterprise and capitalism as the enemy. Get over it!
