  Despite the large amount of meat I eat this same calculator says I should live forever. Well, that is accurate. Not driving a car and taking public transportation also helped tremendously. What you miss again Noonan is that it is not your planet to destroy just because your first lives are short. Terra will be around for billions of years after you have been forgotten in history and if you want Human Beings to still have a planet to call their own you need to at least consider being a bit more kind to it.

  Human Beings are the very first species ever to exist on Terra than understands that its own actions could lead to something called extinction. With this knowledge comes a heavy responsibility to nurture the homes in which you live. Consider this that the very pretty and mostly blue planet where you live is like a guest house that you know will be occupied by others long after you have left. What sort of person leaves their own feces on the floor and acid in the sinks and paper and plastic strewn everywhere because it is convenient for them making the place so uninhabitable that in the future the people who come in die in the accumulation of filth?

  How can someone who says they are such a proponent of the salvation of Souls and is so angered that a woman could choose to abort a fetus take such a cavalier attitude toward the atmospheric stability and environmental viability of the only place about which you know where that future child could breathe air and drink water?

  This is why so many Progressives and journalists scratch their heads at the “values” religious conservatives have. The concept that a bundle of cells becomes a political battle ground but a three year old child who is born outside of marriage has no right to clean air to breathe and clean water to drink because you prefer the lifestyle of well a pig. Big cars, bigger houses, more, more more! Well more waste and emissions into the atmosphere comes with that but since you have a short life and Paradise is promised to you because you kneel when you should and stand when you should and recite the right words at the right times on the proper days this absolves you of caring about the billions of unborn who will never exist because the many generations before you and your own have poisoned Terra.

  I admit I am confused because it would be rude of me to say that you choose what is easy to do rather than what is right to do, so I ask for clarification.

  Cav,

  Do you honestly think that conservatives are not concerned about, nor working towards improving the environment? Are those thoughts actually rattling around that empty head?

  You really need to step outside the liberal bubble and learn how to critically, and objectively think through these issues.

  And if that is your name, how many times did you get beat up in grade school? I am guessing a lot.

  I do think that many conservatives are concerned about the environment, neocon and many more of them are doing their part to make sure that there is a planet to leave to future generations. I fear you do not miss my point but prefer to ignore it as many conservatives ignore the obvious elephants sitting on the many sofas in the American political and cultural “living room.”

  You prove yourself by your questions to not have the capacity to deal with the matters that I posed to Mark Noonan. You offer no explanation for my inquiry; you only attack the messenger which is what people with no moral ground to stand on in a matter of ideas at odds do.

  I pose a simple question to the people who call themselves conservatives here to address the fact that for religious reasons likely or temporal reasons in the abstract that Mark Noonan does not think the world you live in is worth keeping green and clean, and I quote him, “I’ve never really heard a good explanation of what we’re saving it for…given that the inevitible end of the earth is, well, the end of the earth and that pile of recycled soda cans won’t be doing anyone a bit of good when that happens.
  “ for those billions of unborn children whom he thinks have more rights and are owed more privileges, in kind, than a living breathing three year old, or a thirty or a 60 year old?

• 4. neocon  |  June 14th, 2008 at 9:22 am

  Well again Cav, your lack of objectivity and critical thinking skills have led you to assume that Mark actively advocates the destruction of “terra” (I love that one. All liberals now say that. You must have been all in the same class)

  Mark simply meant that the draconian measures liberals want to impose are ridiculous and will not resolve anything. Nor will the liberal eco-hysteria account for any positive changes.

  What needs to take place are sustainable programs that move our society to greener energies and a more long term sustainable energy paradigm, and not the hysterical finger pointing and baseless assertions that those who drive SUV’s are satan.

  Got it? But if it makes you feel better to vilify someone, or some group. Then you go right ahead dear.

  It might be kind of fun to put Al Gores number thru this thing and seehow long he gets.

  I live these athiest-pornographers, Christian haters who espouse homosexuality which directly leads to AIDS all worried about the planet.

  while pushing marxism which has murdered over 100,000,000 people and abortion which has murdered over 50,000,000 people.

  These people are as or more dangerous as islam.

  Don’t you mean Islamic terrorists, FmrMarine?

  Even GWB knows the difference, lol.

  Sure we are more dangerous than Islam because we pose a threat a direct threat to your worldview while Islam is just the straw man Other for today as the black man once was, and as the Cherokee once was, and the Madarin once was and as the Irishman once was . . .

  No one is pushing Marxism you are merely pushing that your side in a political debate that neoconservative elites that care nothing about your meager Middle Class problems be dominant. Not just in the majority but perpetuate that ad infinitum. And you thought this would work?? And while you are at it the people of America were supposed to applaud the rising numbers of brave troops that had fallen in Iraq because the permanent campaign demanded Bush be a “war president?” How dare you deflect the deaths of 100 MM people from any cause on your petty political beliefs! And if you really care about the dead fetuses why don’t you stand out in front of your local planned parenthood and tell the next woman who is about to go in that you will pay for her to keep her child. What stops you from doing that? You think the woman is immoral? You did not have the pleasure of impregnating her? You care more about a hot button issue than the reality of life in America? Which one is Fmr Marine. Enough name calling I am Editor-in-Chief of The Dis Brimstone-Daily Pitchfork a coveted post in journalism in my domain and I make no bones about the adult material on our blog or about our march in lockstep with those who seek civil rights and equality for gays, lesbians, bisexuals, transgenders and queers. And in no way do we condone the abuse of minors, animals or work for anything other than couple marriage in any way shape or form. No one that works for me or that i know is in favor of any of the organizations that promote sex of any kind with minors. I can damned sure point to several members of some fine upstanding institutions that the right wing adores that should be in prison for doing so however. And it is this hypocrisy that galls me so yet it does not anger me. Your hubris only energizes me more to be an advocate for those on Terra who need to have their voices heard.

  Your hubris only energizes me more to be an advocate for those on Terra who need to have their voices heard.

  It also energizes you to silence those whom you disagree with, right?

  Are you ascared of Christians? It certainly appears you are.

  You see, Cavalor, you fear us in the wrong way….you fear us, because you want to hang on with dear life to the evil that have taken over your mind and spirit.

  Do be warned though, my friend, that you will not get very far trying to silence God’s people.

  10. Jeremiah | June 14th, 2008 at 1:54 pm

  Right jeremiah that;s the goal you caught us! We want to duct tape the mouths of every Christian on Terra so they will shut up.

  No that looks even sillier now that I typed it than it did when you typed it.

  There’s no fear it’s just your and by your I mean what you jeremiah believe which is crazy and dangerous and is seditious is not Christianity but a Bible based set of beliefs that in you mind allows you go get back at people who are superior to you because if for no other reason the leave you ther 1st amendment right to say whatever crazy crap you want as long as you don’t libel.

  Jeremiah, who exactly are God’s people?

  CO, if guys like Jeremiah are really God’s chosen people, then I think i’ll take my chances burning in Hell with the rest of the non-believers. Hopefully, they’ll have punch and sugar cookies waiting for me.

  I live these athiest-pornographers, Christian haters who espouse homosexuality which directly leads to AIDS all worried about the planet.

  Uh, Fmr Marine:
  First, it’s ‘love’, not ‘live’.
  Second, let me teach you how to spell the word ‘atheist’ - A-T-H-E-I-S-T. Now you try.
  Third, provide evidence that homosexuality is directly linked to AIDS, or just admit that you have no idea what the hell you’re blathering about…..on second thought, just admit that you’re an uninformed idiot. My uncle Ronald, is a gay man, and he does not have AIDS or HIV. In fact, AIDS and HIV does not know sexual preference. All it knows is that if you were having unprotected sex with another partner, or you were using unsterilized needles or whatnot, you will contract the disease.
  Quit spewing ignorant stereotypes about gays you uninformed, dips**t redneck!

• 15. Kahn  |  June 14th, 2008 at 9:38 pm

  If liberals would just will their possessions to the government and commit suicide the world would last longer.

  You greedy selfish b@#$%ards. How dare you eat food, use energy, and fart methane? Put your actions where your mouths are and make the population problem go away. At the very least every liberal should volunteer to be sterilized.

  Jonathan. Thanks for stepping in for Fmr Marine’s spellchecker software. What a useful drone you are.

  AIDS and Homosexuality
  �If liberals and politicians really want to do something to get rid of AIDS, they should start with the gays and their activities. Most sane people know homosexuality is indecent, immoral, and unethical.�

  Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. AIDS is a lethal disease. It brings those who are so afflicted face to face with the ultimate reality of death. All of the emotion of denial, anger, and fear are present, but there is more. The emotional, spiritual, and physical needs of AIDS victims and their families are unusually pressing. What has almost always been deemed a �death sentence,� AIDS has touched the lives of millions, and taken half as many. The disease that once possessed the lives of those infected has since become a virus that cannot be cured, but no longer will eradicate each individual so unfortunate as to acquire AIDS.

  There is no known origin of AIDS. People have been obtaining and hiding AIDS for years, with deaths being recorded as one of the many symptoms of the disease. It can be traced back as far as Africa, where a species of green monkey is known to carry the virus. It is believed that it was then transmitted to the inhabitants of a nearby tribe.”

  The letter comes less than two months after a similar plea from the government AIDS agency. In an affidavit to the Delhi High Court calling for a repeal of the law, the National AIDS Control Agency argued in late July that Section 377 poses a public health risk by driving gay men underground and impeding efforts to prevent the spread of AIDS.
