There's no reason to use the amount of energy and water that we use, it's wasteful and excessive. 80% of the world's forests are gone...for what? so you can eat big macs, and it's softer when you wipe your ass? Wonderful, now WTF are your fat, diseased kids and grandchildren going to do when nothing is left? 80% huh... Do you ever check out these stats for yourself? Also, for the record, the logging industry (the ones that make my ass happy with 5 ply) actually help to stimulate forest growth. See, several decades ago, people in logging realized if they run around chopping down trees left and right, there would be no more trees left to cut. So they replant them after they cut them down. I don't expect you to have read that on alternet.org though... yes, I'm sure the world's forest are doing much better now that the logging industry is around, a forest is more healthy when it's been clear cut right? Really helps with errosion too. Do you ever check out your information yourself or just read logging industry bullshit? I hear coal is clean now too, a kid on a tv commercial put out by the coal industry said so, so it must be true. |

So, it's fine to be in good standing with a country that lets terrorists come over and bomb us as long as they keep selling us oil (Saudi Arabia), but countries that don't even threaten us (Iraq) are enemies...I see, it all makes perfect sense now. I donno why you're proving my point about U.S. foreign policy and the world bank, but ok. |

I donno why you're proving my point about U.S. foreign policy and the world bank, but ok. Like Pat said, they don't let terrorists come over here. Also, for the umteenth time THE MIDDLE EAST DOES NOT SELL OIL TO THE U.S.A. Why do you have so much trouble with that concept? Saudi Arabia is part of Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC), which was set up to take the power of the world oil supply away from British and American oil companies. Saudi Arabia and the other middle eastern countries sell to Europe, Asia, and Africa. They don't ship the oil across the world to us. There are a few OPEC countries that do sell oil to us, and they are located in South/Central America. Like I've said before, invading Iraq was nipping a problem in the butt before it became a big problem. Was this Bush's view? I don't care, its mine. Should we do it to other countries in a similar spot (like Korea)? Yup. Also, I am now confused about your view on the world bank. It seemed like you were in favor of it. Now you say you are not. Care to clarify? |

| _____________________________________ [Jun 26,2006 6:32pm - HailTheLeaf ""] wow, I guess I need to explain more. The U.S. government (and many in Europe) use the world bank to force poor countries to accept terms that benefit U.S. foreign policy and corporations. They countries are forced to privatize their oil, water, and other natural resouces in exchange for a loan, but they never get ahead. The corporations move in and hike the rates to 3 times what people were originally paying for say, water. They go into massive debt, children starve, and the country usually erupts into civil war. fun. So yeah, the world bank can go fuck itself. |
| ____________________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 8:36am - Man_of_the_Century ""] I don't like the world bank either. Never said I did. I originally was looking for why you think oil profits in South America go back to the people, and you tell me to look up the world bank. Do you want to try again? |
| _____________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 3:08pm - HailTheLeaf ""] I don't need to try again, you need to put 2 and 2 together. A few countries in South America are telling the world bank to fuck off and keeping the rights to their own resources, (oil, water, etc.) so the profits go back to their people instead of a foreign corporate entity. That's why the U.S. has their panties in a knot over Venezuela right now. That's about as simple as I can put it. |

I read that article today on CNN. He is an idiot for saying that. But the government has always had access to anyone's bank records that may be a criminal. They are not spying on your statement (unless you are a suspect in some sort of terrorists act or crime that would have to do with money). There are just too many bank accounts in the counrty. Also, the government does not have direct access to the records. They have to get in contact with the bank or the software provider for the bank in order to get them. And they don't get them without the right paper work (I used to work for a bank, and I've had to get these reports before). Heck, every bank sends a report to the IRS every year so they can catch people working under the table, or getting money illegally. Bush is a dumb fuck for thinking people didn't know about this. |
| ________________________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 3:58pm - whiskey_weed_and_women ""] its not really about the bank statements to me, its just one more privacy that theyre trying to take away from people. Scarborough - You gotta admit-it’s frightening. More so to us who know how Washington works and know how power can corrupt and know how power can be abused. I believe friends, we are in dangerous times for those of us who believe like Thomas Jefferson-that Washington is not to be trusted with unlimited police power |
| ___________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 4:04pm - ShadowSD ""] As are all the countless people on his bandwagon who have been going on TV saying that The NY Times committed treason (a death penalty offense). If you wonder why people truly loathe Bush, this is why; it's not for any one decision, but the general climate his presidency has created. We have reactionary conservatives taking up 50% or more of the news media airtime, daily reinforcing with arrogant smugness viewpoints that would have been considered fascist and un-American until a few years ago. |

But its not really taking away any privacy. Its similar to setting up cameras on public streets. It doesn't matter during a normal day. Those cameras are not constantly monitored. There just isn't enough people to do that. They are put up in public places, where a person only has as much privacy as there are people around. These things don't matter. They are too small to loose sleep over. If they were setting up cameras inside buildings (non-public ones owned by regular people), or on someone's land then it would be a violation of privacy. If they make your bank statements public information, that would be a violation of privacy. |

| ___________________________________ [Jun 27,2006 4:17pm - ShadowSD ""] I was actually going to post something HILARIOUS I saw on MSNBC yesterday about this very topic. Two talk radio hosts were interviewed via satellite and asked about the bank records controversy. One calmly and politely asked a simple question: "Who should decide what gets published in the NY Times? The NY Times or the government?" The other guy, an archconservative, who true to form had at first appeared with the smuggest, shit-eating grin on his face, got PISSED. He started insulting the guy, calling him fat, a joke, an idiot, and even called him Goebbels (Hitler's chief propogandist). He started yelling that this was a waste of this time talking to this idiot, and shame on all of them for making him to it, interrupting MSNBC Journalist Chris Jansing's question to the other guy until she had to tell him to be quiet. Finally, he flipped out, tore out his earpiece, and stormed off in the middle of the segment. It was the most hilarious and embarassing thing I have seen a neo-conservative (or anyone for that matter) do in a long time. I wish I had it on tape. |
