i've seen lots of forums where a quick insult is to accuse them of being drunk or on drugs. maybe the fact that you saw a racial slur says something of your own 'racism'
Perhaps if you weren't new and had been around and seen some of Avro's comments against natives, you'ld understand my conclusions about the context of his posts.

Besides, calling me "chief" and suggesting I should be "getting drunk" that is.
Yes in the case of Tim Ball it could be the same thing as you said, what is he suppose to do, morgage his home. Nope, instead he can deny climate change caused by man and get money from big oil. what a shock, he has a vested interest.
I never claimed any differently.

Oh what a tangled web we weave.:lol:
Especaillly when you ignore ones malicious intent and embrace anothers.
Do you even hear what you say?
Yep, loud and clear.
Again both are ad hominim attacks and have no place in the debate but if others question Gores motives I will question the deniers motives.
You shouldn't do otherwise.
Interesting how you attack a message that is bringing real evironmental change and action to do just that.
Not at all, you have obviously missed most of my posts on this subject in this and the other thread.
The means justify the ends.
So long as profitting from the hysteria you create is not your motive. I'm not sure Gore's motives are all that altruistic. He has no issues with a mine on his land poluting adnauseum, he owns a carbon trading compnay and he hypes the AGW to boot.

The optics there say alot about his motives to me.

There has been a report regarding possible racial slur in this thread. The post in question along with 2 others quoting it have been placed in the moderation queue for review.

I hope proof is required to say if it is indeed racism.

who cares if he's making lots of money. for whatever reason, you agree we need to make some changes, and like you said, 'the end justifies the means'.
This isn't about the ends...this is about Gore and his motives, hence the title of the thread.
God forbid if someone made a buck and the fruits of Castro's labor is a nation living in abject popverty.....way to go.
I think you missed the point Avro...I'm not surprised though.

Castro got himself a country and lives in luxury, whilst his people live oppressed.

Hey, like I said if it's such a paradise then why not move there. I'm sure Castro would accept you with open arms.
Since you've call me a CPoC shill, I think you need to rethink your strategy.
Pinochet did the opposite, booted out the commies and restored democracy, name one commie who has done that.
The man was also a butcher and a dictator, I do not find it hard to believe you find that acceptable.

Thanx Zan.
Bear cares, commies don't like people who make money.
Remember back when you called me a Conservative shill, you may want to reread what I've said, several times if necessary.

Generally people who are not a success themselves hate those who are successful.
Oh yes, I'm a welfare bum, great debating skills Avro.

I see you've hit the bottom of the barrel laddy.

I see when you can no longer support your arguement, you attack the poster...good on ya.

I've accused others of being drunks before who weren't natives. are natives inherently drunks? Is that what you are implying Bear?

Pot meet kettle.:roll:

I've also refered to friends of mine as chief, a common thing to say, and they aren't aboriginals. I also have stopped taking my kids to my Dads house because his wife is a big time racist.

So why are Tim Balls motives noble then Bear, why avoid it? It's an ad hominim attack which exposes you as a hypocrite.

Again pot meet kettle.

You commentary of today, measured with your commentary in a post a while back, states otherwise.

As for Tim Ball, please do point out where I stated his motives were noble?

You're grasping at straws, trying to attack me, because you have lost the arguement, you have nothing more to debate.

Very sad really.

I may have my hypocracies, but at least I'm no racist and I certainly don't have to make stuff up about the people I debate with or what they have said. Or in this case, not said.

No matter the attention gore has given to the enviroment he is evil because he made some money. Interesting logic but from a commie makes perfect sense.

Name a commie leader who dosen't live in luxury.

I find Castro acceptable, please do show where I said that.

I never said you were a welfare bum but you sure object to someone making money.

It is your flawed logic that has hit bottom chief.

Prove it, wouldn't be hard to find.

You defended his icome but not Gore's.

I've lost no srgument, I've poked holes in your logic and you fight back by calling me a racist.

What did I make up?

Speaking of flawed logic, do you not remember calling me a conservative shill, not all that long ago. You were adiment about it to.

Name a commie leader who dosen't live in luxury.
I can't, I don't think there are any.
I find Castro acceptable, please do show where I said that.
I was referring to Pinochet.
I never said you were a welfare bum but you sure object to someone making money.
No actually I don't. I find it offensive when some sells one brand out one side of his mouth, then turns a profit off something that is an environmental hazard, ie; The mine on his land.

btw...It's called a 'confidence job' when someone starts a panic and the profitiers from it.
It is your flawed logic that has hit bottom chief.
I obviously find it offensive to be called chief, so you must be using it to offend me.

Good to know you really are just a racist bigot.

Would that be Stalin or Mao, who caused the deaths of tens of millions in their respective countries?

No that would be Adolph Hitler who's government set up a industrialized murder system that claimed the lives of over 11 million people not to mention the many millions more who died in the wars he started.

I don't have to, it's right there in print.

You defended his icome but not Gore's.
I only defended his research funding, you may very well be correct that he is lying to save the hand that feeds him, but you have no proof of that. I have proof Gore is profiting from perpetuating hysteria nd from an environment hazard and known poluter.
I've lost no srgument, I've poked holes in your logic and you fight back by calling me a racist.
You haven't poked holes in anything, your continued name calling and attacks say otherwise.
What did I make up?
I'm a commie, I'm a conservative shill...

Make up your mind Avro, you said I was a Conservative shill and you saw right through my facade, now you say I'm a commie.

You aren't being very logical.

You can't because there aren't any.

You can of course prove Pinochet ordered those kidnappings and deaths right?

What's it called when someone gets income to deny something that is true?

You used it to offend yourself as many do.

Sorry to see you hide behind your own insecurities because you just may be wrong about something.

The climate is always changing but I'm not arrogant enough to believe that man is responsible for the change.

It has nothing to do with arrogance, it's simple cause and effect. One human isn't going to have much effect on the environment, over six billion, many of whom consume vast amounts of resources while emitting pollutants on a steady basis, are.

People used to believe the oceans were so vast we could never have a significant effect on the ecosystem there. Now all major top predators in our seas have had their numbers drastically reduced. We've got fisherman out there harvesting jellyfish now because that's all that available in the region.

Our species is tranforming the planet at an incredible rate, thinking it's not going to have a dramatic effect on the biosphere is the real arrogance.

Show me then.

Ball is making a living off of denying it, it's the same thing as what you say Gore is doing but again has nothing to do with the science.

I've called you nothing offenssive on purpose and you zero proof of it among averything alse that dribbles from your mouth.

I said con shill? Where? I think this is the first time I used the word and if indeed you are big fan of Che you are indeed a commie who seems to hate anybody who makes good money.

The man was a butcher, are you arguing that?

Fraud, got any proof Tim Ball is a fraud. Or just hearsay, cuz he's on big oils pay roll.
You used it to offend yourself as many do.
No I don't. Many people such as yourself used it in a derogatory manner.

Do I really need to ask you to cease and desist?
Sorry to see you hide behind your own insecurities because you just may be wrong about something.
Making stuff up again I see.

Back to the OP, Gore lied, he manipulated and publicised falsehoods. Determined by a Court of law.

He was not fit to win a Noble Prize.

Why bother, these debates go nowhere as I have said, once most people get a thought in there head they rarely change it. I switched sides on this issue because I was wrong.

As much as I would like to waste more productive time here I must go and bring the dock in, something I have been avoiding......hipe wadders here I come....brrrrrr.

Ciao all and have a splendid afternoon.:lol:;-):cool:

Grow up.

Ball is making a living off of denying it, it's the same thing as what you say Gore is doing but again has nothing to do with the science.
Do you have proof that Ball is actually presenting information he knows is false?

Is Ball buying carbon credits?

Do you get the drift?

I'm not saying Ball is right, I'm saying no one has presented any evidence as uncontrivertable as that against Gore, to show that Ball perpetrating a fraud.
I've called you nothing offenssive on purpose and you zero proof of it among averything alse that dribbles from your mouth.
How very mature.

I said con shill? Where? I think this is the first time I used the word and if indeed you are big fan of Che you are indeed a commie who seems to hate anybody who makes good money.
Are you now denying that you have called me a conservative, or neocon or any affectation to the right?

Please say yes so I can feed it to ya, with your own words.

Yawn, even though the court agreed with the science he presented. Sounds good enough to do something about it to me, but yes true to your argument yes making money bad......:roll:

Perhaps if you spent as much energy starting an eco friendly buisnes and turning a profit with it you'd be less cynical about those who know how to make a buck.

Got to go Bear, get the chip off your shoulder and have a nice day.

p.s. he deserved it and so did the IPCC.

I did call you a con and I was clearly wrong, they are by nature the ones who disagree with Gore, I apologize for assuming something that wasn't true.

Determining the racist implications of certain words can be a pretty grey area.

www.dictionary.cambridge.org says:
Nonetheless, we will request a cease and desist on using words that have been identified by the receiver to be racial slurs. We've decided to leave the posts in question out of the thread, and request that all of you remember to stick to debating the points and not the debaters. There have been numerous other comments in this thread that may not be racist, but are certainly derogatory. Further intervention may result in infractions.
