diamond VS gold, which wins?

I just realized I hate you

 

He hits the nail right on the head.

I love the environment and the planet as much as anyone. But the left wing environmentalists bring just want control and political gain in the name of something great. They are hypocrites.

 

will you two kiss and make up already.

 

Cool. I never really thought you have said anything intelligent on here anyway. Turn on your air conditioner the globe is warming.

 

I'm not to concerned.

 

Problem with your statement is that we live in our environment, and if you aren't an environmentalist, you are part of the problem. Politics be damned.

 

what's wrong with wanting control? If environmentalists were in control the earth wouldn't be so fucked up right now.
And having political power and clout is the only thing that can make things happen. i think that's too bad but it's the way it is. Trick is to find politicians who will use their power for good.

 

We'll see how much you will like the carbon tax if that gets passed in the name of the environment. All they want is money. This carbon tax isn't going to help the environment just cost us more money so politicians can spend it where they see fit. Or forcing a private company produce a certain percentage of vehicles manufactured be reduced emission vehicles. It's not a point at what better for the environment, but how to gain more money IN THE NAME OF HELPING THE ENVIRONMENT.

 

i dn't wear diamonds. unless i guess one could prove they were conflict-free diamonds.

 

Shadygrov, those Republican talking points are wearing thin in the facts. If we could remove the politics, we would, but the liberal left are the only ones who are willing to even discuss solutions, much less tackle the real problems we face. Put your hate away, and pay attention.

 

id go with the diamond. it looks classy

 

also, you dont have to spend more money to be an environmentalist. a better environmentalist will probably spend less

 

uh, no. taxes are raised and the money is put toward alternative energy.

 

um yeah first of all elected officials are there to make decisions about how to spend our tax money. It's their job. Not saying they always do a good job, or that we elect the right people, but I will be more than happy to pay the carbon tax for politicians to spend "as they see fit", that is, in alt energy research or whatever. Also, sometimes private businesses have to be forced into doing things they don't want to do if it's for the common good. And how is that making money for the politicians? If we follow that train of thought then there should be no government regulation of any industry. Hell lets get rid of government altogether!
Should auto makers be allowed to continue to make gas-guzzling high emission vehicles instead of making cars that are good for the environment? That's one of the reasons that the Michigan automakers are doing so poorly these days- they spent years making and pushing nasty SUV's on people while foreign automakers got on with making cars that people actually wanted.
gah, rant over.
goodnight.

 

All the while he has a 3 trillion dollar budget and it's all in the name of the planet...right that makes sense. Lets spend shit loads of money we don't have AND lets tax Americans and force them use shitty alternative energy that doesn't work. I seriously expected more intellectual responses from people...not speaking to you specifically zilla.

 

To avoid name called I won't call you an idiot. First off, if a car manufacturer wants to produce "gas guzzling suvs" then so be it. They should be allowed and no one should try to stop them. If their is a market that demands the product, they will succeed. This is the backbone to America and a free market economy. And i'm sure these care companies don't make ANY OTHER ECONOMIC OR FUEL EFFICIENT MODELS AND everyone HAS to buy to SUVS...lol People buy what appeals to them and their family...end of story. And any people with any real rational wouldn't buy a car based on carbon emissions.

Second this comment scared the shit out of me, as more and more younger people think like this. My generation hasn't a clue of real politics and what's truly import. In an age of mass media and TV, everyone tends to believe the nightly news and conclude similar things. You said, "Also, sometimes private businesses have to be forced into doing things they don't want to do if it's for the common good." There are so many things wrong with statement it's not funny. First off, the common good? For who, you? politicians? The whole principle in which the country was founded upon is being jeopardized here. Companies NEED to be allowed to rise and fall. GM had it's short coming for years now, don't blame it on the fact they produce SUV's....lol. In fact in Chrysler's case, who just went bankrupt, sell more Dodge trucks than anything else. Should the gov. force a company to sell more fuel economic vehicles when their highest selling vehicles are trucks and suv's?

Just as an example of how alternative energy could work so you don't think I am missing your side of the here, cause I am not. If the government really wanted to go green and reduce carbon emissions, why not replace every government owned vehicle(municipal vehicles, not emergency personal) with a diesel engine and burn biodiesel. It's readily available if you know where to look, cheaper AND has zero emissions. Think about all the public school buses that could run the biodiesel with minimal conversions. Not only it reduced carbon in the air but also it cleans the engine. If it were things like this that money was going to, I would be all for it. But this is far from the truth.

Got new few ya and challenge you do the research. These alternative energies they are purposing and spending millions on, don't help the environment. I wish I had the report, but last week I was listening to talk radio and had a report issues by Obama's staff, that if ALL the alternative energies changes were made it would result, and I quote, "negligible results". Like I said before, it's not a better environment is more political control and power they want.

 

Vigi.... canadian diamonds are conflict free! and freaking gorgeous....

I have a polar bear diamond engagement ring.... they have a little tiny polar bear etched into them proving they are canadian!

And I think both diamonds and gold are great... but they get old fast... a friend of mine, her husband only gets her jewelery... I'd like a new stone soon because its been about 4 years since I've had any jewelery.... besides a watch... but I agree with knowing what she really wants... My man actually listens to me when I talk because things I mentions months ago just show up... like i pointed out that I wanted the new camera I have to take great pictures of Yale, but not until after he had his transplant, because I didn't want to jinx it... and so Yale had his transplant on Dec 10th and christmas eve I got my new camera.... its all in the thought...

 

shadygrov-
so just because I disagree with you I'm an idiot?
I'm not going to address the rest of what you wrote- it's a waste of time.
why isn't it possible to have a healthy debate without you being insulting?
