Serious quesiton for people who deny human involvement in climate change/global warming

I would include myself in the spiritual category, no need for 3rd parties in the middle of my relationship with God, Allah, Source, call it what you will I think it's all the same thing.

Not to be confused with the New Age garbage.

so, you've got a total grasp on a nearly-impossible-to-define class of people? And your total grasp has then allowed you to make a sweeping negative evaluation?


You're obviously really smart.

I was confused too. What he describes as "individual relationship with the Source" is a common New Age sentiment.
 
haha. I was just about to clarify....

that dude "apes" language (i.e. just copies without any necessary comprehension) worse than almost everybody on this board. Sad.

I think this sentiment is unfair(not to the party but to the people that get assistance).

Most of the people on assistance are either disabled, elderly, or working poor. They aren't lazy they are just not as good at playing the capitalist game, never had access to capital, or had a stroke of bad luck. Wealth seems to be an excuse for laziness we just call it leisure when wealthy people do it. How is spending a week on a beach in Cancun not lazy? This is a level of leisure/laziness the working poor will likely never enjoy.

In my experience wealth and poverty are not good indicators of work ethic.
To me the guy who is talking represents an Al Gore type more than a welfare recipient. It's satire, though, so some people are bound to find it offensive.
 
When I looked at the cartoon, the message I got was that republicans do all the work and democrats just sit around and mooch off the hard work of the republicans.

Which I kind of take to mean the rich work hard and the poor don't, yet the poor get all the benefit of the hard work that the rich put in
It's interesting that you equate rich with republican and poor with democrat because I don't think it breaks down that way in reality at all.

I agree.
But I still think that it's a common sentiment.
I also think that republican is thought of as white and democrat is thought of as having minorities as part of the group.
