Lys is an excellent "I no see, it no excist" player. Guess he plays a mean peak-a-goo game with his kids.

 

And it is indeed completely black & white with him, unless it directly hurts him (or his loved ones), he doesn't care. It is the entire "first they came for X but I didn't speak up, then Y, ..." gimmick. Hence I went with phosgene, that doesn't just hurt you, it is instadead.

First of all, my kids could be older than you... you must mean my grandson. I have to take him to Disneyland again soon.

 

I expect that the next thing I hear from my Belgian friend will be his post from a barge in the Pacific Ocean. He'll be having trouble texting on his phone, while blistering his hands with a pitchfork as he shovels all that plastic out of the water. When you do that, then I will give you kudos for doing something about what's coming out of your mouth. Without that, I guess you're just as worthless as I am.

Phosgene is cut grass (or moldy hay), which you can smell before you reach the limit. Then again nobody is affraid of cut grass :D

 

Garlic is dimethyl sulfoxide, which can become very deadly under the right circumstances. And speaking off smells, I guess you were going for the almond smell of hydrogencyanide, which if you can taste it (not smell) is pretty much deadly then.

While I personally have little impact except for for the obvious "don't over consumate", I do vote accordingly. You actually revel in voting AGAINST it.

 

You sould like that new proposed EPA plan on CO2. They had to make a comparison with something when putting the plan into a proposal. The comparison was not made against Obama's Clean Power Act but against a scenario where such act was not implemented. And they found a RISE in avoidable deaths by, for instance, small particles emited by coal plants. I believe there was talk about something like 40k over a decade. It did however meant an economic windfall (for the companies offcouse) of like $200 million.

 

And you wonder why we think less of you...

"Consummate" is an old tradition of completing a marriage by having sexual intercourse. Over consummating would be something I have never heard of... I don't think it's even relevant. Voting for such a thing is just strange... it's not possible for me to vote AGAINST over consummating, because it's never been on any ballot. Things must be different in Belgium.

 

I know nothing about any EPA plans. What I do know is the person in charge of the EPA now is far better than what we had before. You seem to like Obama... can you take him to Belgium? Please? You can have his entire family... and Joe Biden too. Honestly... we would pay you. We would even set up a GoFundMe to sweeten the deal.

 

I live a miraculously happy life. I look forward to waking up every day, and I totally wish for everyone else to be the same way. One thing I have learned throughout my life is happiness has everything to do with complaining. People that complain about everything are the most miserable humans I have ever encountered. Miserable people complain about everything because they are unhappy, and they want to project that unhappiness on everyone else. You are complaining about plastic in the ocean, but you have no intention of doing anything about it. I'm not complaining about plastic in the ocean, because I have no intention of doing anything about it. Both of us end up doing the same thing... the difference is I'm not complaining about it.

 

Because of that, you think less of me... I didn't care what your thinking level was before you complained about plastic.  :smoke:

And how dare (gov) institutions help him in getting this working! >_>

 

I just hope you don't think this makes any effort on the origin of plastics a waste now.

This guy saw a problem, created a workable solution, sold his idea to the right people, and will achieve enormous wealth for his effort. This is a glowing example of Capitalism solving the largest problems, and of course, you are not impressed. It's much more valuable to Progressives to do nothing about problems.

 

The ability to point at problems and create outrage is the only viable currency that Progressives have. When Barack Obama took office in 2008, Democrats had super majorities in both houses of Congress. They could have done anything they wanted, and no one could stop them. Did they do anything to protect illegal immigrants? Gun Control? Climate Change? Of course not. They chose Healthcare, and took the entire 2 years to miss the target, and just screwed it up for everyone.

 

The left is never about solving problems... they are all about exploiting them for power.

His method, as with many ecological solutions, will NOT be proftable without subsidies (not that you folks mind that gov aid...) or taxes on the polluters/fabricators. Nor is this a glowing example of capitalism, for god sake this guy is dutch and he did this at uni.

 

And yes, I understand that Republicans only care about the law of the strongest, screw wanting to built a society or find a *shock* compromise.

This comment comes from the troll that lives in Belgium. Belgium has less GDP than the single solitary state of Virginia. So, I would say that the Americans that live in poverty in the USA, are still better off here. The fact that Republicans believe in being the strongest, has the collateral effect of making everyone here stronger. A rising tide lifts all boats... including the ones cleaning up the plastic.

I have no idea how Belgium deals with poverty, it's none of my business. What I take issue with is your assertion that we are not compassionate, or capable, of "building a society". We have done a pretty good job considering our youth as a nation.

 

It's obvious that whenever I post something, you counter with something negative. You like to troll me. This must be coming from deep political differences. There are many blooming new Socialists cropping up all around me because of the current political climate. After talking to me for a few minutes about what they are being taught, most will reexamine, and summarily adjust their view. Our young people cannot understand why the USA is the way that it is when they are denied an education in our history and basic civics. When all facts are available, and not just the ideology of the loudest mob, it is then they can see issues clearly. I have a strong personal feeling of obligation to truth and common sense. I hope I deliver that here.

On technical grounds, Belgium is younger :D And I would not assert that americans are without empathy, but your policies sure don't show it.

 

pfffft trolling, at best I can be cynical, clearly you picked up a fancy word (same with that socialism stuff) and thought to mark your opposition with it.

 

History is indeed something overseen, but neither should it be distorted or viewed with a filter. Heck your president just erased Hurricane Harvey from his memories and considerd 3000 dead americans "tremendous".

 

Truth and common sense is fine, now add decency and we can get somewhere.

I'll stick with just truth and common sense. Empathy has no place in the law. When empathy is infused with the law we get O.J. Simpson not guilty, illegals that murder women not guilty, and stupid confusing law modifications like "Hate Crimes". The law is the law, and there will be millions of different feelings about it after the judgments. That is the time to legislate changes to laws, but they still must apply to all with no empathy. One thing that confuses me is these people that murder pregnant women will get charged with double homicide, but those very same states will do cartwheels to destroy any thought that an unborn baby in the womb is a person. I'm a pro-choice Republican, but I still can't understand how that one works.

Heh, that is a funny little contradiction. The reason for the difference, I assume, is that the women didn't choose to abort the baby in the case of her being murdered. And killing a pregnant woman is just so henious (and I think EVERYONE can agree on that).

Just about one of the worst possible things I can think of that can be done to a person... and Jerry Brown, will more than likely, commute the sentence of Scott Peterson.

The reason for the difference, I assume, is that the women didn't choose to abort the baby in the case of her being murdered.

A lot of people will agree with that, but it's still creating a legal paradox. When is an unborn baby considered constitutionally protected as a living US citizen? It doesn't make sense to charge someone with murder when the mother herself can have the baby killed. I'm in favor of allowing abortion in the first trimester, because I would never feel right about forcing a woman, or a girl, to endure a pregnancy she doesn't want. I am at the same time, strongly against any type of taxpayer funding for abortions, or lying abortion mills.
