Thank you for effectively ruining another thread. Instead of doing that, you could have instead started one with good things about the Republican party, but no.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

....Matt's right the green party dosen't have any power in Canada either

it is for helping smaller buisnesses and are more for equality among the rich and the poor.

it is for helping smaller buisnesses and are more for equality among the rich and the poor.

and that is EXACTLY why it will never have any power because the rich do not wish it

Choice is an illusion created between those with and those without power

ya, its amost like communism. it doesnt work because noone wants to be equal--theres always the people (me :) ) who want more

this is why i dont go with any party, they all have problems.

Over in Australia we have the Liberal Party (no, not your definition of Liberal... these guys are like your Republicans) and the Labour Party.

Now I have friends in some circles, and they overhear blue-collar people saying "I'm just going to vote for Labour because they're right" Blue-collar people automatically think that Labour is right because it represents them. It isn't. It has marvellous plans, but they only work in the short-term. Liberal may be generally less popular (Howards been in three terms though so Liberal's doing something right) but they have excellent long-term plans. They haven't put the country in debt.

Everyone still complains about a tax Howard introduced called the General Services Tax (GST). It basically puts a small tax on everyday purchases, barring essentials. People blame things for being expensive, saying the GST is bad. The money from GST goes to building and improving hospitals and schools etc etc. People just want to dislike the Liberal Party.

Matt and others, would you say it's the same over in the US with the Republicans and Democrats?

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

i dunno you didnt say enough to compare really. the gst is like our sales tax and noone here complains lol. how else is the government supposed to make money? :)

[castillo_98]

Well that public opinion seems to sway to one particular party and one is disliked by a majority of people....

[kolte]

The reason that the green party, which i love, is a dead party is because they are no were to be found and most likly never will be found in congress. But I for one then we should have a cerimonial mohnarcy (spelling?) just like the UK and Japan.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

well the thing about parties like the green party or the independants is that even people who belong to them know they wont win, so to make their vote count they vote for either the reupblicans or democrats

[kolte]

I know that even though I myself support neither the democratic or republican party i choose democrat

[Millermagic]

Well ... let's see.
-They are not letting us use the woods, and they are becoming overgrown
-We have to pay thousands more for our cars, for pollution equipment that has no effect on our cars.
-They are trying to ban SUV's
-They helped to kill industry in the US by passing over protective laws for the environment.

Yes, very good party :roll:

[Whisper]

at least get your facts straight!!!
the forests are NOT overgrown there doing the oposite actually

There are two main areas that absorb allot of the earths CO2 the rain forest and reefs, the rainforest is almost gone and the majority of the reefs are dead even if they were healthy were looking at CO2 saturation in 50yrs............Do you have any comprehention of what that means?

most of its american, its a fact america produces ALLOT of polution but allot of countrys are at fault including canada

But of course when it comes down to the enviroment or money guess which ones this disgusting greedy species always picks and anyone who fights for the enviroment is labled a tree hugger


.....jesus.........I'm actually becoming ashamed to be human

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

wow, great job!!! :D i agree with most of that.

[Millermagic]

We have a little, and I mean very little effect on the environment. It would be ignorant to think that we could actually majorly improve / destroy it. When a volcano erupts, it releases more stuff into the air that humans have EVER made. We are too small to do anything.

[Dante]

i think thats a bunch of crap

[kolte]

yeah me too!

prove yourself to dante, he doesnt believe u. and i wasnt kidding earlier, enviornmentalists are douchebags and theres nothing else we should be doing to the enviornment thats not already being done

that is the most idiotic thing i have ever heard! Recycling companies dont recycle, we litter like crazy. We make mutated frogs...what other prove do you need! oh, let me guess you think global warming isnt caused by pollution! and what has george bush done to help that? :x

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

30% of all trash in america was recycled in 2003, allowing 72 million tons of waste to be reused as paper, aluminum, steel, plastic, glass, scrap tires, cell phones, and electronics. hmm it pities me that you think the greatest enviornmental success story of the 20th century is a sham :/

[Anonymous]

Now, why does the US use the 2nd most of the natural resopurces when we are so far behind in populatioin? the mutated frogs speak for themselves. did you even read anything that i wrote before, i guess you were to shocked to respond to it. :P

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

mutated frogs? im sure that happens everywhere there are factories built next to rivers, which is basically everywhere theres a factory. and why do we use more natural resources???? could it be were more industrialized than everyone else? hmmmm

[Anonymous]

japan....is less than us. and your right, it has to do with factories,but thats not all of it. It pollution in rivers in general. learn science. most republicans dont.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

so thers pollution in rivers, what do you want me to do about it?

"learn science, most republicans dont"

thats just as valid as me saying "grow a brain, most dems dont have any"

[Anonymous]

wow, you think im immature.....

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

that took a while to figure out didnt it? besides i practically said it

[kolte]

you are just pron to fight i guess cosmos. you need to learn to be more open minded and respect others. You are not allways right ya know. I recycle cans, bottles, glass, and paper. I think we all should. Go Environment. im not saying anything really. I think that all countries should, regardless. its good for the earth. And I want my future adopted child to enjoy the earth

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

me too!!!! thats why when someone tells me that recycling is a useless sham it makes me angry :(

[Millermagic]

There is nothing wrong with recycling plastic. But recycling paper makes no sense. You have to use electricity generated by a most likely oil fired power plant to renew paper. Using a non-renewable rescource to renew a renewable rescourse.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

it still uses less energy im sure than to make new paper lol. but to say recycling is useless like what austin said is flat out ridiculous

[Anonymous]

i didnt say that, you just cant comprehend.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

you said recycling centers dont recycle, which means that they arent fulfilling their purpose of making the enviornment cleaner. thats EXACTLY what you said.

[Anonymous]

my dad's job has to do with recycling companies...alot of them dont recycle. i know. he is an engineer, but he has to work with them...i dont get it either.

[serial-thrilla]

the world is going to keep getting dirtier no matter what we do about it.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

if they are such a good party why do they never win? lol i sure as hell wouldnt vote for them :D

[Anonymous]

Because its america and republicans keep telling churches that democrats are immoral....
they believe it too. :roll:

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

thats like the biggest load of crap ever. heres whats really going on: the green party sucks shit and the whole country knows it and are too smart to elect those douchebags into office

[Anonymous]

thank you cosmos. that enlightened me tremendously.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

hmm.... it wasnt supposed to :/

[Anonymous]

im sorry.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

for what?

[Anonymous]

im sorry that what you said didnt get to me and make me angry.

[<-Dying_to_Live->]

dont be sorry, im not :D
