Lower Oil Prices Are a Free-Market Victory

... and he's off!

:eek:

Just go ahead and declare victory now and get it over with. In the meantime, quite a few people will be having a belly laugh at your expense this morning.
 
Unfortunately for you my trick is proving you wrong.

There's no real trick, simply inject relevant facts into teh discussion and teh Chief immediately switches to victim mode.

(Ask him how much one dollar, one quarter and one nickel equals!)

I wonder if LT'ism is a communicable disease?

No, but ALTism might be.

:D



That's altruism sans true...

:cool:

I don't think spidey is any ones alt. The consistency and uniqueness over the years would be unsustainable for an alt., especially if it were the alt of any other poster that was fairly prolific.

But it is not outside the realm of possibility that cowslinger is a Spidey alt...

:D
 
What is really funny is that I used the word never, so Spidey thought he had a winning gambit, posting some pictures of an event, not a commute, in which participants pedaled on through a drizzle...

;) ;)

Had I used the word rarely, in true chipbutty form, instead of two, he would have posted eight pictures, because eight is not rare.

:cool:

But, I give him credit. On his terms and under his rules, he WON!

Because he turned transportation into cause...
 
As an aside, Alb. has made a list in a good way. We have the lowest gas prices in the nation. $1.61/gal.

Words have meaning, Chief. Especially when you use absolutes like NEVER, ALWAYS, and EXCESSIVE. You do remember your attempt to redefine the word "EXCESSIVE" as meaning "not very much", right? How we laughed at you!:D
 
Road construction benefits the public because afterwards the public gets a road. You can't drive on a pipeline.

You cannot drive much on a public road without affordable fuel. Less miles driven also means less fuel tax collected for the purpose of building and maintaining roads.

The public doesn't get to play in GM's Volt factory, but that is supposed to help the economy and allegedly that is good for the general public.

If the pipeline was being built with public money, you might have a point. A privately owned capital asset, built with private money doesn't need to be a direct, public benefit, or something that the general public has access to and uses.

Rob's (retarded) point was that shareholders benefit from building the pipeline, as if other shareholders don't also benefit from the road building. That building the pipeline is an exercise in greed, as if the inflated prices we pay for federal road projects are not even more profitable than the competitive nature of pipeline building.

So that's "No I do not want to participate in the actual subject under discussion?"

I don't even have to go with:

~Sgt Mushroom Mode~

I really did not say that. Not those words, and what I wrote cannot be interpreted to mean what you say it does.

I said nothing about: strolling, jogging, biking, skateboarding, or merely doing performance art on a public road.

My dad once landed a Piper Comanche on a public highway. Again, not covered by my statement about needing affordable fuel to DRIVE on a public road. If I had said that one cannot use a public road for any purpose without fuel that would have been negated by that landing. He landed because he had a leak and was out of fuel.

To repeat:

"I said you cannot DRIVE much on a public road without affordable fuel."

I said nothing about whether one could drift in a balloon above said public road.

I said nothing at all about any of the many uses one could put a public road to that do not involve fuel.

Ok. So then your post in response to Phrodeau makes no sense.

Classic...

AJ: I live in an oak forest...

fs: AJ, I'm standing in front of this tree and it's clearly a walnut, you don't live in an oak forest.

AJ: A forest will have more than one type of tree, but one usually predominates.

fs: All I see is this fucking Walnut tree! You're misusing the term Oak. It's just a forest.

AJ: 90% of the trees are oak.

fs: Now, you're just redefining the terms... We can't go any further with this conversation until you admit that this is a walnut tree...

AJ: Yes firespin, it's a walnut tree.

fs: Then you lied, you're stupid, you're inconsistent, and you make NO sense what-so-ever...

Speaking of "classic", explain to us how one dollar, one quarter and one nickel equals 91 cents!

....or how the middle class enjoys "too many" benefits?

....or how Haitians are less than human, but not always subhuman, depending on the level of sunspots?

For extra credit, explain why it is altogether well and good for folks to say "nigger" on the general board, but "gook" is taboo.
