tonyhays 86 #5 August 3, 2004 I think his point is the situation is ironic. Maybe you should read the title. “That which can be asserted without evidence, can be dismissed without evidence.” Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
b1jercat 0 #6 August 3, 2004 I don't see any thing even close to the Exxon Valdeise. So you think that people who care about the ecology of the planet are fucked up? What planet are you from? the same one as Ron? Blues Jerry Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sundevil777 102 #7 August 3, 2004 QuoteSo you think that people who care about the ecology of the planet are fucked up? I don't know how you got that impression. I think it is quite ironic and funny. They should have had a double hull, just like greenpeacers say the oil tankers should have! People are sick and tired of being told that ordinary and decent people are fed up in this country with being sick and tired. I’m certainly not, and I’m sick and tired of being told that I am Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What planet are you from? the same one as Ron? That's not the point. The point is that it's an eco-tourism bout that polluted the environment. Quite fine irony. . A bit like the two seals or penguins or whatever that got eaten by an orca after they were cleaned up after an oil spill at the cost of $20000.

What planet are you from? the same one as Ron? Try Decaf. You see the funny/ironic thing was that its was an ECOLOGY tour boat that had the spill.... The spill in itself is not funny, not in the least. But since it was a group of tree huggers it becomes ironic, and therefore funny.

rehmwa 2 #14 August 3, 2004 It's pretty common for protestors boats to be trailing oil and fuel in a nice shiny slick as they go and harass the subs and ships. I've seen it quite often. Usually these poorly maintained ships are much worse than the groups they harass. Hell, they throw red paint on transport railcars, yeah, paint on the ground is a great idea. ...

Geeze you need decaf also..This thread had NOTHING to do with Iraq, The current administartion or anyhting other than a bunch of tree huggers causeing more harm than good.

PhillyKev 0 #20 August 3, 2004 Talk about needing decaf. "In the long haul...A free Iraq WILL be good." Yep, I agree with that. Unfortunately in trying to achieve that lots of innocent people are killed. In the long haul...A cleaner environment WILL be good. Unfortunately, in trying to achieve that, a boat leaked some oil.

PhillyKev 0 #24 August 3, 2004 Eco-tourism promotes a cleaner environement. Where did I bash Bush, anyway? All I said was that John's analogy seemed apt. He could have just as easily said "to make an omelet, you have to break some eggs" and it would have been just as fitting. Relax, Ron. It's not always about Bush.
