I wonder how much longer is this going to last. I've seen people lose everything. A friend of mine had just graduated from UNLV, and couldnt find a job for 9 months. He lost his house and things got worse. Unfortunely, he couldnt take it any longer and commited suicide leaving behing a girlfriend and a little baby girl. Very sad story....

of course the energy crisis is a bigger threat than terrorism. So is climate change. In fact, almost everything is a bigger threat than terrorism. This is just political BS. FWIW - drilling in ANWR is neither the only nor the best way to solve the energy crisis. However, it is a good way to please a rich oil company supporting a political campaign.

This energy crsis is the best thing that has happend to the world in a long time.

There are alternative energy sources to oil, we just need to start using them instead of buying oil from countries that fund terrorism.

Send a message via AIM to canoda
is this really a thread in an mma forum???

please stop spreading the fear mongering. there is no energry crisis:
<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbakN7SLdbk&hl=en&fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/NbakN7SLdbk&hl=en&fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

since currencies are no longer even backed by anything, and are hence only just PAPER, those who control the oil, control the economy. oil is the world's currency, b/c how are the container ships gonna reach the ports without it? how will businesses run?

america was lost long ago... maybe was never even ours, it just took along time for the plan to take hold and here we have it: empire, and world domination beyond the scope and magnitude of any in past histories. a truly global government. borders are just semantics, we are the fodder.

Climate change is not man made. Are country runs on cheap energy so we need to drill we have more reserves than the entire middle east. OBAMA is the worst pres candidate ever.

Here is a link to a recent interview on Democracy Now with an energy expert/scientist. It is interesting and dispells a lot of misinformation on energy.

Look, the vast majority of people who actually know what they're talking about (unlike you) agree that climate change is indeed man made.
Even if it's not, the fact that so much oil money goes to coutries that are run by dictators and that fund terrorism, should be enough motivation to start using other energy sources.

Like it matters. We been called CT theorists and written off ever since 9/11 no matter in what point you criticize the global powertrips going on. It's not like it'll change much if suddenly people came to there senses now. We all pussies anyway.

They'll do whatever they want and people will believe what ever they tell us 24/7 on all channels. That's what I learned after the last war on the Balkans. I'm sry, but I guess I just missed Vietnam. Even if we would suddenly be the majority it's way too late for most things to get undone. Listen some of us are going to come out unscathed of the next future conflicts and about two thirds of the people that know what's going on don't have to worry. The rest is divided into loons and those directly profiting from the events that will unfold. Either way the majority of wealthier people will rewrite history again and we'll simply go on like we all did after Vietnam and now Iraq.

Want to know what the world is like these days....9/11 threads go straight to the dumpster now within an hour if that. Want to know how bad it is with the twisted tv reality the majority of people can't help, but believe in?

Take the way people talk about a war with Iran on here and elsewhere already, it's like it'll happen eventually. You think a youtube video can stop anything like that? To me it's a question of time like Iraq was waiting to happen. Today people discuss how to win the war on terror on here and everybody that told you what was going on before hand was a loon and is still a loon.

If they ever really herd Americans and put them in camps it'll be way too late to actually pay attention to the Constitution. I don't think it'll happen. They'll just control our moves and slap our fingers. The system for that is in place thanks to face scan passports and everything that is already a done deal in the name of the war on a noun.

The dude is right and basically we are really that stupid, yes. The energy "crisis" is very real. It'll cost billions and make Iraq cheap in comparison and energy companies wealthier than countries. Whhhoooops they already are running the countries and are wealthier than the countries that created enormous debt you and I can pay for like the little bitches that we are.

Good thing I can train. At least I won't have to worry about none of that being the real reality. I just live my life like everyone and if they want it to go down like that it'll go down like that. Ain't nothing I can do or you can do.

Oh yeah if you do trade, don't let them scare you away from the energy stocks. For options you'll want to make sure they are actually backed by bank's savings nowadays. As soon as the stocks start plummeting, GTFO. Stock up silver. It was a good idea last year, the year before, the year before the year before that and oh year the years before as well. Make some cash with the energy crisis and come out a winner, so we can grow a new generation of cannon fodder. If you really do well you can even be making cannon fodder out of others and that sure beats being that dumbass yourself.
