Should Large Pickup Trucks Be Banned?

Samantha 2012/07/09 21:49:01
I don't see a necessity for the average American to own one of the larger pickup trucks produced in the United States. We should be producing more fuel efficient automobiles instead of producing gas guzzling trucks and SUVs. Americans want more fuel efficient cars.

http://gas2.org/2009/09/08/americans-want-more-fuel-efficient...

Raising fuel efficiency standards and producing more fuel efficient cars will decrease dependence on foreign oil and protect our environment by eliminating the need to, as conservatives and petroleum purchased-politicians advocate, drilling for oil in pristine environmental areas.

Already, the United States is an extremely wasteful society and Americans, in general, appear to be ignorant of the negative impact their consumption has on the rest of humanity.

    Facts do have a way of making the heads of conservatives explode.

    I'm not mixed up at all; I posted facts and you've yet to make any effort to refute them.

    Yes, they are; of course, we know conservatives reject facts, science and reason.

    The Lack Of Scientific Rigour In Environmentalist Ideology

    Is this the same Phllip Atkinson who "wrote back in May of this year that the U.S. should enslave or exterminate all illegal Mexican immigrants and then invade and conquer Mexico, to impose our culture on them, Family Security Matters (FSM) did not bat an eye and continued to publish Atkinson's articles on their website."

    You posted a link to what is nothing more than a blog, and I gave you information on the character of the person associated with it. You used a source that gives writing space to a racist.

    You're just another conservative who can't deal with facts, science or reason. You posted a link featuring a racist. That says something about your character or, more appropriately, the lack thereof.

    I posted facts while you posted the rants of a racist. Of course, we know modern conservatives reject facts, science and reason but readily embrace the worst types of racism. By the way, the quote I posted is about a man associated with the link YOU posted.

    Sorry Sweetheart ....you failed

    A fact (derived from the Latin factum, see below) is something that has really occurred or is actually the case. The usual test for a statement of fact is verifiability, that is whether it can be proven to correspond to experience. Standard reference works are often used to check facts. Scientific facts are verified by repeatable experiments.

    It nice to hear that you're in an educational environment, college of some sort; I would presume. But I'm not sure you fully understand the real reason you're still in school.......

    Hint:~~ It's the same reason you went to grade school

    This is the person associated with the link you provided.

    "In America's Choice, Atkinson tells us we must become an eternally violent, militarized empire, that imposes its will through the terror of nuclear annihilation, subjugating and enslaving all others. And he argues that if we "fail" to be strong enough to nuke entire peoples off the face of the earth in order to terrorize the rest into being our helots - if we are too "weak" to do what is necessary, we will surely suffer extermination or slavery at the hands of "competing" civilizations. To Atkinson, it is kill or be killed, enslave or be enslaved, just like ancient Sparta."

    The United States is very general and problematic when used in that style of labeling.

    waste not want not , one has to measure waste vs. productivity as energy can not be created or destroyed only transformed. Millions and millions of years ago there were single celled organisms that became so productive that the waste product that they produced due to their excess productivity brought them to the edge of extinction as it poisoned them to death(burned them alive), that waste product was oxygen

    The latest in genetic research (epigenetics) has shown the environment plays a far greater role on DNA then DNA plays on the environment
