Can we talk about this new carbon cap and trade stuff?

Oh look a religious debate on a board game forum! I’ll go get my popcorn.

The book Miracle at Midway includes an unintentionally amusing quote from Miller himself describing the ceremony at which he was decorated.  Miller, whose spelling was a bit unorthodox, wrote about how moved he felt when Nimitz pinned the Navy Cross on his “heaving busom”.

Hello nice forum :) … Im new here … its nice to meet you guys…thankssss thanks

Hello. And Bye.

I’m all for buying up land in Alaska, then pumping Greenhouse Gases like crazy to turn it into a tropical paradise!

I got a bow hunting licence back when I lived in MI.

It was more for investment advice from a coworker.

The hunter safety class (bow and rifle) ended at gun shooting range.  We used rifles on targets and then worked on hitting clay pigeons w/a shotgun.  I did not know about bracing the shotgut butt on my frame, so the recoil blew out my shoulder.  I was not able to draw on the bow for another 3 months, when deer season was over.  I moved out of state soon after.

I am proud of all of you archery hunters.

Hope you bag a big one, Yanny.

@Yanny:

His opponent was John Kerry.

A monkey in a suit could beat John Kerry.

Wait! I thought John Kerry WAS a monkey in a suit! Now I’m all confused. pout

(a joke)

@ZimZaxZeo:

Now, I dig your logic … and I would add simply that the people of the American nation either have to be for democracy, and this can only be universal democracy, or they have to be against it. Perhaps this Kaplan is using some seige mentality “warrior” reasoning that prefers to avoid messy things like differences of opinion between nations, in favor of having a nice, neat, manageable world where the US gets all the goodies while five billion other people can live under dictators and totalitarian regimes.

I totally agree with you (your arguing with a universal democracy), that’s why i find it …. in german you’d call it “perfide”, having one thing, but for your very own and selfish interest not wanting that others have it, especially when it is regarded as a common “good”.

BTW, we didn’t have an India thread this far AFAIR. And even though it still may be (i wasn’t there) a tolerant nation, i fear that fanatism might rise there, though i hope it does not.
