I see you put as much thought into this post as I do when I go for a good dump.

Nothing to rate an opinion on?

Nothing controversial?

Nothing that could be discussed as in with links?

Like I mentioned I put more thought into going for a really good DUMP than you did with this thread.

It is an insult to the members of this forum to post such drivel.

Unless you are into drivel. But myself I cannot give that even much thought as my priority now is to go for a well deserved and thorough dump.

Do you even realize the amount of problems that are solved over a really thorough dump.

Why I think I may post a thread asking members what problems or conundrums were solved over a really good dump.

So many people do not appreciate a really good dump and try to rush thru it. Only to come back a little while later.

Why I wonder how many Great Leaders solved complicated problems over a really Good dump.

Again proving that a really good dump must also be completely conclusive as the end result.

My post on this thread and the contents was way out of line. I apologize for being an ashoxle. But only an asshoxlle on this particular post.

It's about being a little left/A little right in a perfect sustainable balance...I choose to use both sides of my brain.It's about living long and prospering now and Forever Forward into the Future..;).All depends on the Issue and problem that needs to be solved..

It's about finding workable solutions.

And I ain't talkin' about bein' Liberal..:)

That works in theory. I think there's a balance. Social programs are okay if they aren't bureaucratically ruined with expense. Things need to be made simpler. We need to get the lawyers out of there. They only succeed at making work for themselves. If tax was simple, if social programs were basic, and if the government knew their real role there would be no need to even debate things because you would have both the social programs you want and don't want and more money in your pocket.



I agree and I would also add that government needs to monitor the social programs and deal with those who take advantage and cheat. As it is, they just keep paying out benefits without checking to see if the qualifications for those benefits are still in place and if they are being honest. There are too many people on welfare and working under the table, single mothers in subsidized housing being kept by live-in partners, etc.

how left/right wing are you?

On what issue? Only a frikkin' zombie adheres to a "party line" on everything. Think for yourselves, people and don't let some idiot try to pidgeonhole you ... on an internet forum, of all places.

With me it's more a matter of right vs. wrong. I'm for anything that works. Running up debt that doesn't generate wealth is a failure whichever party does it.

That's why I DON'T subscribe to ANY party. They are all crooked!

Non-partisan here. A good idea is a good idea and a sh*tty idea is a sh*tty idea. Doesn't matter which side comes up with it.
For example, Ontario's green energy policy was an utterly sh*tty policy. All they did was switch out that nasty CO2 and SO2 for natags also known as, drum roll please........... methane, a GHG that is IIRC 20x times more potent than CO2.

All you renewables kool-aid drinkers got suckered by marketing from the oil and gas sector. Ooooo natgas is a cleaner burning fuel than coal because it produces hardly any CO2. Just ignore he fact that natgas is almost 100% methane and it's perfect for backing up intermittent sources of power generation.

Hell, might as well do away with the stupid windmills and mirrors and just run the gas power plants normally, it'd be easier on the environment.
