Yea....shows the usual liberal brilliance, doesn't it?
I am impressed he made it that far....he gets a ribbon for showing up.

If you leftist bottom feeders ever stumble upon anything resembling the truth, please let us know, we'll celebrate.

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Hahahahaha......funny to see a kid take you liberals to task, he must have made it past the college indoctrination and has seen what fools liberals are.

Show us some more of that superior intellect.....Mensa boys.

Weewillynobeerspilly Loc: North central Texas

Truth??? And a liberal....yea, we will not be celebrating as you set that bar pretty high for them

GoCubs Loc: Earth

If you read Permafrost's original post, you should start celebrating as it IS the truth. Research it.

Truth,,,Fairytale......If you say them real fast they sound the same, so they should mean the same thing too.....right Mensa?

You, of all the people on OPP, insinuating that ANYONE on this site is lacking in intelligence is just TOO funny. I have yet to see even one iota of intellect in a single one of your posts. You're very clearly in over your head in that department WeeWee. Maybe criticizing smarter people than you about their intellect makes you feel better about your obviously low I.Q. Dunno. Quit while you're behind.

Here is what you should be looking at if you are as smart as you say! GoCubs like little bear cubs in a china world?
And actually, the real truth on most of the subjects you list. Full article at:

https://www.heritage.org/environment/commentary/state-the-planet-better-ever

In one sentence you say the following. Tons of proof to the contrary."In sum, our planet is in a miserable state, we're told over and over."
When actually for all to discover that have not done so yet....

Ladies and gentlemen, this is the single greatest misinformation campaign in world history. The state of our planet and the state of humanity has never been stronger. Nature has never been more bountiful.

I recently wrote of the following six statistics which go a long way to proving how well we are doing. The response from the greens was vitriol and even threats to my physical safety for writing these truths. But no one refuted the facts, because, well facts are facts.

Here they are:

1. Natural resources are more abundant and affordable today than ever before in history. Short term volatility aside, the price of almost all natural resources - from cocoa to cotton to coal - is cheaper today in real terms than 50, 100, or 500 years ago. This has happened even as the world's population has nearly tripled. Technology has far outpaced depletion of the earth's resources.

2. Energy resources are growing. Energy is the master resource; and it is super abundant. Remember when people like Paul Ehrlich nearly 50 years ago and Barack Obama just three years ago warned that we were running out of oil and gas? Today, in the new age of oil and gas thanks to fracking, the United States has hundreds of years of petroleum and an estimated 300 years of coal. We're not running out of energy, we are running into it.

3. Air and water is cleaner than ever. Since the late 1970s, pollutants in the air have plunged. Lead pollution plunged by more than 90 percent, carbon monoxide and sulfur dioxide by more than 50 percent, with ozone and nitrogen dioxide declining as well. By nearly every standard measure it is much, much, much cleaner today in the United States than 50 and 100 years ago. The air is so clean now that the EPA worries about carbon dioxide, which isn't even a pollutant. (And, by the way, carbon emissions are falling too, thanks to fracking). One hundred years ago, about one in four deaths in America was due to contaminants in drinking water. But from 1971-2002, fewer than three people per year in the United States were documented to have died from water contamination.

4. There is no Malthusian nightmare of overpopulation. Birth rates have fallen by about one-half around the world over the last 50 years. Developed countries are having fewer kids, not too many. Even with a population of 7.3 billion people, average incomes, especially in poor countries, have surged over the last 40 years. The number of people in abject poverty fell by 1 billion between 1981 and 2011, even as global population increased by more than 1.5 billion. That's just short of a miracle.

5. Global per capita food production is 40 percent higher today than as recently as 1950. In most nations the nutrition problem today is obesity - too many calories consumed - not hunger. The number of famines and related deaths over the last 100 years has fallen in half. More than 12 million lives on average were lost each decade from the 1920s-1960s to famine. Since then, fewer than 4 million lives on average per decade were lost. When famine does happen, it's primarily a result of political corruption or malice, not nature growing too little food. Furthermore, the price of food has fallen steadily in the United States - and most other nations steadily for 200 years.

6. The rate of death and physical destruction from natural disasters or severe weather changes has plummeted over the last century. Loss of life from hurricanes, floods, hurricanes, heat, droughts, and so on is at or near record lows. This is because we have much better advance warning systems, our infrastructure is much more durable, and we have things like air conditioning to adapt to weather changes. We are constantly discovering new ways to harness and even tame nature.

Again, these are just standard facts - though not very well known. But you could look them up. The point is that human advance and growth of the economy leads to a steadily improving and bountiful planet.

And the growth comes as a result of free enterprise. The environmentalists have declared free-market capitalism a near-treasonous pursuit. In reality, free markets with reasonable and sane regulation, will save the planet from extinction. Meanwhile, the socialists, the communists, the Sandinistas, the Stalinists, are the ones who did the greatest damage to the planet - with such avoidable catastrophes as the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

The environmentalists still believe that command and control rules and regulations - on how much water can be flushed from our toilets, what kind of light bulbs we can use, the temperature setting of our thermostats, the amount of solar and wind energy we must use, the type of energy efficiency we get from our household appliances, the amount of water we can use to water our lawns (as in California), even limits on how many kids we can have (as in China) - will save the planet.

They won't.

Freedom will.

This is very good news for those who believe that one of our primary missions as human beings is to make life better over time and to leave our planet better off for future generations. That's just what we are doing.

And to repost what you should really be asking y9urself about aborting a child..... gocubs person.

As to your summary statement about abortion. Women were given a natural way to govern their own wombs. There are just a few days in 28 that women can produce life. If one wishes to not bring life to the world - then they (Man and Women) should abstain from sex in those few days.

Free sex with the man given right to abort the creation is not natural. No person has the right to destroy a creation of man and women union.

However, man did create a way to prevent abortion. Why don't woman use the multiple solutions if they do not want to bring a creation of their own image into the world. Why do men not ensure they are not performing sex that is likely to produce an un wanted child?

Those, gocubs, are the questions you should be asking yourself!

Im not here for your enjoyment, or to show my superior intellect, i find little sense in trying to convince liberals how stupid they actually are, I prefer to just slap you around for my enjoymemt, since none of you cowards will say your ignorance to my face...i come here where you feel safe enough to spew your garbage.

I thought we already covered your reverse child psychology. ...run that game elswhere.

You can't keep up with me on a slow day, careful what you wish for. ......one day you may be worthy of my time, not from what I've seen thus far.....Mensa.

GoCubs Loc: Earth

Dude, I haven't written one single word on the subject of abortion - EVER! WTF???!!!

GoCubs Loc: Earth

I have never said a single thing that you are saying that I did. WTF? Having trouble quote replying the person you mean to? Stupid? Drunk? And why did you post this crap twice on the same thread. Take a step back. Review the multiple mistakes you've made on this single thread alone. You just falsely attacked an innocent bystander - TWICE. WTF, dude?

GoCubs Loc: Earth

Hilarious!

CodyCoonhound Loc: Redbone Country

Dude, you are quoting the meme of permafrost as truth. So, smart person, get your act together. Watch your language.... Dude.
