Well....in THAT post, I was being a dick. Good call. It is known as sarcasm. Does the person I was speaking to deserve anything more?
Yes, they do... if you want to be taken seriously and have a real discussion about your opinion on this issue, or any other issue... about the opinions of others on this or any other issue.
If you'd rather not be taken seriously, then your current course of action is appropriate.
Well........I sure have been schooled by the three of you in this thread. If I am to be taken seriously I must be willing to understand that opinion is all that matters. As long as I do nothing but offer my opinion, very seriously, and pay little attention to facts, I will have a wonderful time here.
Please know this........whenever people come here and spout off with tired talking points that are nothing more than half-truths and partisan rhetoric, I will ask for more. If I don't get it, I will, very intentionally, be anything but serious.
I'm not planning on spending much time investigating this pipeline. I am generally in favor of finding alternative energy sources, but I'm just as keen on doing things that can only be done on US soil by US workers. I've no interest in using this issue as a tool with which to batter the "opposition" in this fucked up game that we play every day. Especially if I have not bothered to consider the arguments of that "opposition" fully.
But.....you all do know that you are being played by the GOP on this, don't you?
With all due respect, Laugher? You're coming across like the kid in class who didn't do the required reading but would now like everyone else to fill him in on what's going on so he can take part in the discussion. You say you're too "tired" to find out for yourself yet you have enough energy to post repeatedly? That's the lamest excuse I've heard in quite some time.
As for who's getting "played"? Since you've admitted to knowing nothing about the topic...how is it that you know who's playing who? Duh?
