Be angry - it's your right, but please try to consider how you express it on a site which has grown & developed a longstanding community in part because of it's wish to remain family friendly.
Personally I consider your blaming of greens to be responsible for global warming as nonsensical, but accept your right to hold whatever views you wish, (just if you express them publicly be prepared for others to disagree).
There are a broad range of views on the issues you raise among the members here, some will agree & some won't, but if you simply resort to name calling & unsubstantiated blame all you do is reveal yourself as someone who is willing disrespect other forum members.
Anyway my response to you is about your on-forum behaviour & how it makes me feel angry about what I consider your thoughtlessness. There are plenty of things many of us here have differing views on but our desire to put our community first ensures that even when angry we try to show respect to the others here around us.
This is not an issue I wish to pursue further, it has the potential to degenerate into an unproductive argument. As I said Be angry - it's your right, but first think if the way you express it is going to get others here to help you or to be helped by you offside.

Hi Cuppa. I apologise if my rant caused you offense. How awful of me to be blaming the greens. Ok, lets be green and shut down the high country cattle grazing. Oops, now we have bushfires. Lets all drive electric vehicles. Cool! When everyone plugs in and draws a shytload of power from the beautiful green wind power and solar sources the whole grid falls in a heap because there is no sun or wind, like SA, well, not the greens fault either. Get rid of that stinky coal, and that nasty nuclear stuff, but keep populating! Wind and solar will cover it! Earth has room for another 5 billion people for sure! Because technology will sort it out soon!
Once again, this is my pessimistic view, and sorry if it offends you. When the planets population exceeds its capacity, and some really nasty stuff starts to happen, feel free to be really offended.
If we had base load nuclear power we would have no coal fired carbon emissions.

For goodness sake Cuppa, if you don't like someone's rant in the angry thread, dont first respond with a belittling comment then follow up with a long winded lecture in forum morals and then say touch, no returns. There are plenty of things I read here that I don't agree with. I just dont "thank" those posts and don't respond. Each to their own, I'm not the boss of the world so feel no need to lecture. You and I have had plenty of times we agreed and liked what was said but we obviously disagree on this aspect. Sorry mate, still luv ya though.

Mickhead, your views don't cause me offence, I simply don't agree with many of them. Refuting your points of view might be lengthy & probably unproductive , and this really isn't the place, so I wont be trying
You may be surprised that mixed up in what you express are concerns that I share but possibly not what you consider the causes to be, & possibly not the solutions you might advocate.
My intention is not to patronise nor criticise you for your beliefs but I do nevertheless appreciate that you have said your piece in a more respectful manner this time around.
Ta.

No intention to belittle or to lecture Plassy. I only wanted to request that we stick to 'family friendly' As for long winded I reckon you know my writing syle by now. I consider my posts here have been relatively concise!Mickhead my apology if you feel I was either belittling you or lecturing you. To have done that intentionally would have been disrepectful & thus 'shooting myself in the foot'.

I have been training a small group, 5 members of a local earwig cluster I found in my garden, to dance an irish jig to Jingle bells. They have been progressing well, until this morning when I arrived at the usual pre-arranged time to find only their mangled shells . Seems something hungry has eaten them. Not such a joyous Christmas this year now. I wonder if there is a government fund avail for me to claim stress and loss of inner joy for the rest of my life - surely there would be, considering some of the avenues avail for emotional distress?

Hopefully not a sign of things to come... But shit... 2 local servos out of diesel... 3rd one had it but as per usual he inflated his dollar balloon considering..
I knew that urea shit was hard to find and if you do its in the bitcoin price spectrum. We have vans parked at work because of it.
Ive been laughing at all the new age adblue driven owners currently in hysteria, but i might have to swallow those laughs now considering all things about.
