[REAL NEWS] Annoying Orange signs cutback on carbon regulations

[SeventhSandwich]

That's your opinion.

It's fact that coal is highly detrimental to our country's health, and it has massive disadvantages as a source of energy in the long-run. Show me the opinion.

edit:
honestly, why am I even arguing with you? You have literally no incentive to defend coal, you have no evidence to defend coal - you're only doing this because you aren't man enough to admit when you're wrong.

I feel like someone's looking out for me in the govt

Poor air quality doesn't discriminate. The carbon in the air isn't going to check to see who you voted for to decide whether or not it gives you cancer. Keep that in mind, one day your grandchildren will have to take albuterol every day and wear a breather mask

you'll probably have a laugh right now as you garner all this attention but one day you'll realize that this type of stuff transcends a stupid lego forum

[PhantOS]

That will never happen and the obvious and most common answer being "loving commies". Is there even a political party other than the democrats and the republicans?

The green party is the perfect choice for this but they never get enough votes or media attention

honestly too much and too little regulation on business are both their own evils. an equilibrium should be met at some point to make sure than businesses are providing services in a manner where they can profit and not have to exploit others at the same time

Corderlain reminds me of this quote from Order of the Stick:

Are you okay?

I think that's not going to happen, but it sure is a bleak picture you paint.

This.

There's a lot of reasons why I wouldn't vote the Green Party, but it's a fact that they have the most well-rounded position on the environment. There's certain positions that I strongly disagree with (namely their weird, paradoxical opposition to nuclear and GMO) but they definitely give a stuff more than the rest.

Are you okay?

Is this the new version of 'u mad?'

He's right though lol. It's a quality I hope you're not teaching your "children".

Nah its an actual question. I've known you for a few years and you usually only directly attack someone when you're having troubles so I figured I'd ask.

jesus christ, he reproduced?

2 year old and a 5 year old.

[PhantOS]

I think that's not going to happen

It already does happen.

[IkeTheGeneric]

I think that's not going to happen

And why do you think that? What's the thought process here? Maybe explaining yourself a bit better would avoid blunders like this, honestly.

[Darryl McKoy]

jesus christ, he reproduced?

According to him - I'm not convinced though, sounds like another taboo

[Corderlain]

I'm under the same opinion you posted earlier. Increased coal is a temporary measure while we move to cleaner energies.

[SeventhSandwich]

I'm sitting in my dorm right now and chatting with my roommate in-between messages. I am not angry or upset - just in disbelief that you're being so dense about this.

Like, you do realize how this conversation is going right? You haven't given a single study, statistic, historical event, or anything. Your continued support of coal basically just boils down to, "*shrug*, nothing bad will happen, trust me."

Increased coal is a temporary measure while we move to cleaner energies.

A temporary measure for what? What is the intended purpose of increasing our coal usage?

Also, because of market principles, increasing coal usage directly means decreasing renewable energy usage. So how does this move us towards cleaner energy?

[PhantOS]

cleaner energies.

... you mean the cleaner energies we already use and have been using for the last 60 years
