@metal-brain saidYay a new episode of the funniest sitcom on this forum came out. The brain of Metal Brain
Why do most climate change activists condone the world's biggest polluter in the world?

What environmental activist condones the US military
@sonhouse saidSunstroker, I'm glad you bought up the solar car race in Australia, (why there, haha, haha. why there, sunstroke) I myself often use THAT example of how FUTILE a solar powered car is, these things are super flimsy, obey NO safety standards in anyway similar to the average family car, have no comfort features like aircon, they are stripped to less than the bare essentials. And one more thing; support teams and support vehicles haha, what a sunstroker. One day when you climb into your solar car remember to check your support team is going to follow you, burning more fossil fuels than if you'd just gone in a CONVENTIONAL vehicle. The solar car race is an embarrassment to the greenie RELIGIOUS FANATICS. Why would you BRING the ONE up.
@Wajoma
You have a weird idea of science. We know lithium ion batteries suck but newer chemistry is coming out, solid state batteries which are almost fire proof and work in heat and cold and BTW there ARE solar powered cars being engineered as we speak AND solar cells themselves are getting more and more efficient at converting light to electrons, now over 30% and my guess ...[text shortened]... t all but manage to go all the way across Australia and I guess you would poo poo all that work too.
Not a bad point about the amount of energy possible from solar panels, very expensive panels made of exotic materials are still not enough for the simple reason there's only so much energy in that area, some religious FREAK here was saying 'they're improving, and if they keep improving there's no LIMIT haha
@metal-brain saidIf Putin would end the war tomorrow, every person "supporting the war" would cheer.
@sonhouse
Your support of the Ukraine war is causing global warming and it is costing as lot of money to do it. Don't you feel bad?
One side is invaded, the other side is doing the invasion. Who has the most power to just stop what they are doing?

@zahlanzi saidDo you feel the same way about the USA's occupation of Syria?

Seems to me you have empire favoritism. Who invaded Syria? The USA.

Do you feel the same way about the USA's occupation of Syria?

Yes.
They should GTFO. I am fully aware of USA's hypocrisy.
They should stop supplying Israel with aid. They should stop dealing with Saudis
They should do a lot of things.

@zahlanzi saidI would be more convinced if you complained about those things more.

Don't you mostly condone all of that?
@metal-brain saidunlike you i don't create daily threads.

Don't you mostly condone all of that?
There are many injustices in the world and most of them are beyond debate. I don't post them here just to up my post count and trigger responses.
If you are unclear about some of my positions or any others, the reasonable thing to do is ask. The absence of constant outrage is not condoning.
You're not reasonable though, are you?
also, i give 0 fuks about convincing you.

@Zahlanzi
You have made a habit of vilifying Putin and Russia for invading Ukraine rather than western expansion of NATO. NATO is not merely some benign defense pact. It is a hostile invasion pact. NATO invaded Serbia to force secession of Kosovo from Serbia.
NATO members invaded Libya in an unprovoked invasion of that sovereign country too.

They are two separate issues. Putin invading Ukraine was as justified as the US invading Iraq because Saddam had WMDs

@zahlanzi saidEnd the war to save the world. War is putting a crap load of CO2 into the atmosphere. It is either that or see your home burn down in a forest fire. That is what they keep telling you, but they keep spending more on the military. F-16s to Ukraine and more weapons to prolong the war.

You should just go live on the beach now. Your will lose your house to a forest fire anyway, so get used to it.
