Why I should be President

Okay so you're one of few people that have a pragmatic mindset and half a godda*n brain. That's not really something to be proud of as much as it's something to try and make sure others follow..or else meet their own demise.

 

I don't know about you, but I like having leg room in a car. That 10 cents you save at the gas pump with ethanol is wasted by ethanol being less efficient than regular gasoline.

 

Think again... it was a GREAT economic idea to bundle and sell worthless mortgage loans ...but they did it anyway ...even though it was morally wrong.

Our economic mess is a failure of ethics. It is unethical to make decisions based on bribes... and pass debt on the next generations. All our problems are based on moral failures.

If you were fair minded you would understand why terrorist hate us so much. We have done a lot of bad things to people in other nations.

Government has been spending MORE on prisons than on education since 1995 because the citizens have become so selfish and immoral. Unless you can see the root cause you'll always be running around trying to stomp out the fires and never "cure" the source.

 

...AND it requires 1.5 gallons of fuel to create 1 gallon of ethanol....

...AND those lighter cars result is much higher death rate in collisions

 

I'd would need economic, military, and other advisors as president, but I definitely have a good, general idea of what is wasteful and what is not. Every president needs a lot of advisors, but their general ideas are usually flawed.

 

You mean if we made sure that people still had it in their heads that the only way to transport themselves anywhere was to use a huge, hulking, 2000+ pound machine with an unnecessarily powerful and energy-consuming engine/motor to power it?

That's not "efficiency". That's INefficiency is what it is.

"Efficiency" would be trying to have ourselves use the least-sized vehicles possible and have them running on the least amount of energy possible, possibly by powering it partly with our own bodies! Yes that's right, our OWN bodies!

It's a matter of self-discipline and restraining one's false idea of luxury, really.

 

Language is always important. If nothing else the kids should learn Spanish....face it, we have a lot of Spanish speaking people here now.

As for penmanship, I think we'll regret letting that lapse. Handwriting is always gonna be necessary and it's getting terrible in the younger folks, cuz the ed system is abandoning it.

Get the fed OUT of the education business. It's a waste of money, and too intrusive. Look at what a FAIL "no child left behind" is, just for ONE example.

 

Ethanol is SUSTAINABLE because corn can be GROWN.

With today's technology, oil cannot be grown; even if you consider these fringe ideas about bacteria which can produce oil, that's not fast enough to sustain our oil addiction.

 

Yet you don't realize how unnecessary it is to equip ourselves with huge machines that employ unnecessarily powerful gas guzzling engines to burn unsustainable, limited resources such as gasoline in order to power them, and how it's way better to just GET OFF YOUR FUC*ING LAZY ASS AND MOVE YOUR UNUSED LEGS TO POWER A BIKE, or something similar.

That's one problem.

Now, I also mentioned having more people live in a more confined space. That would be SPACE as well as HEAT and AIR CONDITIONING efficiency. A direct application of it.

What about that??

 

I said for every 1 life that was lost, a thousand would be saved. How is that not good? To build a better mouse trap, we need more and better educated engineers. A lot of times, money is the problem and slows down research. Money should not slow down research in important areas. A lot of people and our leaders don't even know about LFTR's. Money is a problem here. We need to get the money and engineers to work on this. I didn't say war is wasteful. I said every war after world war 2 has been wasteful.

 

Where do you come off making personal attacks? You lost my respect.

 

There is no such thing as a good economic idea that is also a bad moral idea. There are good financial ideas that are bad moral ideas, but the "economy" is something that applies to the wealth of the society as a whole.

If an idea benefits the wealth (and thus to some extent prosperity) of a society as a whole, there can only be one possible case where such is morally wrong, and that is when it violates the civil rights or personal property rights of others.

Cool, I never denied that nor anything else you talked about.

 

I wasn't "personally" attacking anyone; I contrasted you with the majority of people. I said you were *not* someone that didn't have half a godda*n brain, unlike most people (when it comes to efficiency)

 

Overpopulation..

On a less controversial note, however, we should be preventing runaway reproduction.

 

Review... NOT is NOT in your quote.

 

Then this post clears it up

 

We could make English the official language. Then, the people who speak Spanish would need to learn English instead of making me learn Spanish. I am in favor of one world language and the U.S. switching to the metric system. It's inefficient for people from other countries not being able to communicate with each other and it is also inefficient to convert everything to different units. The world language would probably English. I've never seen any studies done on what the most efficient language is, so we might as well go with the one that has the most powerful countries speaking it.

 

Corn takes land to grow. We could use that land to make more food so that we could support more people. I believe you said something about the population being too high. It wouldn't be too high if we used our land resources better. We don't need to have oil at all to run cars. They can run off of electricity. The electricity can come from nuclear. We have enough nuclear resources to run for thousands of years.

 

I said that these cars can run off electricity which is virtually unlimited. I play many sports and am very active. I am at a very healthy weight.

 

Mine too. I'm going to ignore him if he keeps it up.

 

yeah well, it wouldn't be too high if we made it so that people who couldn't really support their children didn't have 'em

Sounds evil I know, but you know what? Fu*k you people who would say that we don't have the right to make sure that we aren't littered with unnecessary, UNSUSTAINABLE populations. Fu*k you.

FU*K.

YOU.

Fu*k you.

I mean, which is more evil: allowing an unsustainable population to occur which eventually results in it's own disasterous, painful, deadly collapse, or simply preventing it before it happens?

You do not have the right to reproduce unless YOU can support said offspring. If you can't, you shouldn't have it and then demand wealth from taxpayers to support it, NOR should you simply live in poverty and subject said child to poverty.

 

The world wouldn't be overpopulated if we have the technology and use our land resources the correct way.

 

k, then you shouldn't have any problem with it.

Electric cars take up a lot of land with nuclear power plants and nuclear power plants are very costly and use a lot of resources.

The most efficient use of energy is your own body. You have a body that you can go places with. If you need to go somewhere that's simply too far away, either reconsider going there so often, and/or find somewhere closer (if say, it's a job you're talking about), and/or our society just needs to find a more efficient way of going about this.

The most efficient method of land transportation is animal power equipped with simple machines, e.g. a bicycle.

 

Yeah and it wouldn't even be necessary to do that, and thus FIX the problem of overpopulation, if we PREVENTED it.

This can go on for hours but that's the last time I'm gonna repeat myself there.

 

You don't have to. But it's a practical matter. It can be an edge for getting a job. Especially out west.

Good luck with that. It's not gonna happen. Ever.

That sounds SO totalitarian. Creepy.

Not gonna happen. Ever. <shrug>
