Nobel Peace Price or Prize?

Look, my point is that you're not changing a thing insulting him. There's certainly a difference between doing something and doing something while consuming energy, but it's still doing something.
"ANY clue", give me a break. Heh, you don't have a clue, do you? I'm a poli sci major on track to go into foreign relations, and I speak four languages (one of which, incidentally, is Mandarin Chinese). I plan on involving myself with Chinese affairs. What're you doing, other than sitting at your computer lamely insulting anyone with an opinion other than yours? Nothing, I'd wager. Don't act like an expert, it may impress your mother, but in the real world it just isn't cute.

The suggestion that China is bankrolling Al Gore's promotion of environmentalism is ridiculous. That's what the sarcasm is about.
I wasn't insulting anyone's mother, I was insulting faceking. That wasn't even aimed at you.

Amazing, how you don't refute my point. Congratulations, odd... for a guy who speaks 4 languages, and the next ambassador to _____ is languishing on a big dick forum on a Saturday Night.... nuff said.
China is , by far, the largest polluting country.... and no I don't feel like Googl'ing up a plethora of facts on this. I do know, here in California .. they took a sample of air,..... and 25% of the pollutants were drifted over from China. And it's only going to get worse.... how do I know... I've made over 250% on investments in Chinese companies (how's your portfolio looking... don't answer... it's a jab at bravado).... I will stay in Chinese investments for AT LEAST the next 5 years. My IRA is to the hilt in whatever evil they are creating over there, and I've advised EVERYONE I know over the last 2 years to do the same. (in investment banking, by the way...how much did you pull in last year...again don't answer... you're on track for far much more greatness than I)
Seriously, I understand the awareness on pollution... it's a good thing...
is it worthy of the Nobel Prize? No.
has the Nobel Prize gone the way of the Oscars? Certainly/definitely Yes.
is global warming/cooling beyond human control... I believe so.
is being conscious of pollution a good thing... certainly yes.
Heading out in a few... enjoy your crusade during the evening....tell me where you're going to bury the leftover batteries in your hybrid in the interim....
I'm not refuting your point, that's correct. It just isn't as horrible of a thing as you make it seem if you can step back and see the big picture.
You won't get a flame war from me, as I do have some better things to do at the moment. Like, ah, "languishing" here. Much as you are.
Good luck with your Chinese futures! :biggrin1:

Yes, this is an interesting point. I am concerned that the total cradle to grave impact on the environment for a hybrid vehicle is worse than a small conventional one. I would love to own a hybrid but until I am sure about this, I am waiting.
China has had nuclear weapons since 1964. Its first nuclear submarine was launched in April 1981 and China produced more of them in the 1980's. You should have stated that China began development of nuclear submarines during the Reagan administration.

I'm having trouble reconciling these two statements.
You're concerned about pollution from China reaching the west coast.
You're also reaping high returns from investments in China, a nation ignoring the environment in its rush to industrialize, and advising others to do the same.
I can reconcile them for you. Money is all that matters, always was, always will be. There are people who would sell their grandmother for the right price. It's greed that's destroying the world, and us with it...
