Global warming strikes again
- Thread starter Snow Sled Baby
- Start date
Let me tell you Mule my good man, it's been hotter than a tin roof here in Atlanta the past few weeks. Record highs well into the 90's each day! (We're like into weeks of record temps daily!)
I am as opposed to all of the climate change hysteria as anyone but this summer my Man, I truly wish there was a way we humans could control the climate. This heat is brutal!
SO how can YOU so casually suggest how I should live?
Oh I almost forgot, you're a Leftist. Always accusing someone else of what you do, who you are, what you lack, or how they should live.

I remember putting galvanized steel roofing on a building in Greeley, CO one summer. There was no good part to that job - shuffling steel panels, screwing the panels down. Whatever you were doing, you were half blind and burnt to a crisp. A lot of the metal work we did was powder coated steel, and those roofs were generally easier. That galvanized one, it was the worst job of that summer.
My kids are still babies, I’m focused on them. In about 4-5 years I will go back to focusing on the youth of my community.
You arrogant snob, no one invited your commentary on how I should utilize my spare time. My God you're an uppity croissant lickin' snotty nosed high brow snooty little snit!
"Uh atl, (sniff, sniff) in my very learned opinion, (sniff) I suggest you take that passion and ease up on the self righteousness a little, I bet you could do a lot of good for the youth of your area. You obviously have the time don't you know atl?"
What a self absorbed crumpets & tea sippin' bloviator! [eyeroll]
Mind your own damn business and eat less red meat to keep the Sun from burning up your pasty white posterior.
Good Lord!

Well good for YOU boomer! What do 'ya want a medal? How 'bout a Lollipop? [eyeroll]
I apologize, I thought you were referencing my suggestions of how you could help reverse climate change.
I really meant the suggestion of helping youth as a positive, and a peace offering. In my limited interactions with you - one thing I see (or at least think I see) is a very powerful passion (maybe derivative of your faith?) that I know from experience youth needs, and sometimes do not receive. A football coach, youth minister, something like that seems like a position you would do a lot of good.
I might be way off, I don’t know everything, I know more than you on climate change sure, but probably not much else.
When interchanging with you, a lot of my worst gets brought out. I feel team oriented, and I don’t like you. The opposites of the reason I got on here during my years as a stay at home to understand those that don’t think like me.
THE, Dog, Born, Paxxx, Mountaineer, Prospect even Dave have helped in the regard for me, and we’ve enjoyed knocks back and forth through those interchanges. But with you it goes to a very different place.
Maybe you’re not the troubled one, maybe I am. All I know is that I am better than hate. I will see your positives, and as a continuing jester of goodwill: I will never take your lords name in vain again on this board.
You’re a fellow Mountaineer - and that’s it.
I respect what you're saying here and I do Coach Pop Warner. However this year I took time out to Baby sit my new Granddaughter who my youngest Daughter was Blessed with earlier this year.
I am also an assitant youth pastor at my Church where I help my Wife teach Sunday school to middle graders. I am also a Husband, and Grandfather to my other Grandson who will be coming with me next week for his first Mountaineer game along with two more of my Sons (his Uncles)
I'd like to believe what you've posted here but I do remember you being equally as nasty to PAXX, Dave, THE, and DvlDog as you are to me. It's fine. I do try to be respectful but I'm also not some shrinking wall flower who just sits around being insulted. I can give as good as I get.
I will very much appreciate it if you'd stop saying JFC. That name to me is very Holy and righteous and I can't stand non believers even using it without the reverence it commands.
Appreciate your thoughts.
I bet you’re a great coach, minister, father, and grandfather. If you love as passionately as you rage on here.
I made a promise, and I’ll keep it.
When I first got on I took a lot of what Paxxx (I still use XXX in his name to bug him) and Dave posted personally. I learned the style of posting on here, and I’ve enjoyed mixing it up myself at times. Other than the teaming up stuff, I think it’s fun.
The interchanges with Paxxx have helped me stay more balanced in my vision of history - Dog balances my idealism vs reality in my vision towards military actions, THE makes me question the narrative I read most in regard to political issues — as a teacher, it is critical I stay balanced and neutral in the classroom. Understanding opposite views and from where they are derivative helps me do that while still being passionate and effective as an educator.
Dave knocks my manhood being a stay at home, and you knock my ability to teach, those still get to me - the rest of the knocks are funny.
Most of the time my “nastiness” is just good natured attempts to be funny. With you it’s different, and not conducive to anything positive.
You don't owe me any excuses or explanations. You can say what you want. I do. I take very little of what you say to me personally because you do not know me.
I'll admit you likely know more about "climate change" than I do too. However I don't need to know as much because I have common sense.
I know human beings can't control or "change" earth's climate. I know it observationally, I know it practically, I know it by the climate alarmists own verified data, and I know it instinctively because I know human beings are limited both in what we know and what we are technologically capable of.
Planetary climate change is not among our human technological capabilites. So you can know a lot more about it and still be wrong.

OK, fine boomer. As I said I respect what you said in post # 134 and earlier in post #132, and both your apology and promise while also unsolicited are nevertheless accepted. One thing about me, I am a firm believer in the 'Golden Rule' as taught in Almighty God's Holy word. (treat others as you wish to be treated) That is my default position and honest attitude with almost anyone I come into contact with.
With those posters who return my initial goodwill, I've never had a problem. @mule_eer is a perfect example of that. Never a cross word from him to me, never an insult, never disrespect and we've certainly had our disagreements. However he's always remained civil as I do with him. That's the way it's supposed to work.
I NEVER initiate the nastiness, name calling, besmirching, condescension, insolence, disrespect, ridicule, profane laced mockery or any of the other elements of filth I'm often offered on this forum by those who simply disagree with my opinions. NEVER.
As I said, that's fine...this is an opinion message board and folks can say whatever they want within the moderator's guidelines. However, as I also mentioned, while I certainly won't descend into the gutter from which some of these posters crawl out of (you included), I will not just sit idly by and without provocation intentionally be insulted without some form of retaliation on my part within my own self imposed guidelines and limits of decorum animated of course by my reverence for Christ's ultimate instruction to me to first be an example of his forgiveness, then his humility.
Honestly I do struggle with that because we are not called as Christians to be door mats simply allowing ourselves to get trampled over. I won't do that!
However we are also called to be light in a world of darkness, and not to allow evil and wickedness to overcome our trust & Faith in the Truth of Christ whose peace surpasses human understanding. I do draw strength from that instruction, and it more than anything else limits my more debased instincts & desires to lash out equally as vile and nasty as those who chose that frame of reference for me.
Early on in my interactions with you, I sensed in my Spirit a wholesome decency about you, respect for the Country and its ideals, Love of your Family, and what appeared to me initially at least, to be a sincere desire to both know Truth and do good. In fact I liked that about you early on, and mentioned it often. However as time went on, and we engaged in more discussion, I came to realize those initial assessments I made of your true character were incorrect.
More than anything else I sensed a deep distrust, in fact unwarranted and unbridled hatred for people of Faith, (Christians in particular) and an assumed arrogance mixed with insincerity in a quest for what is true and correct. Again, that's fine. All I do is seek to defend what I believe, and inquire about that which I do not understand.
I do not disparage what others believe, but I am often amused at how often so many can logically explain so little of whatever that is? In many cases, they will lie about or even deny what that is, which is even more amusing to me.
You will never hear me deny my Faith. I proclaim it. You will never hear me lie about what I believe, I try to live it. You will never hear me attack someone who disagrees with me, but I will challenge them and defend myself if I'm attacked for what I believe in opposition. In the arena of ideas the only thing that matters to me is that which is True, correct, and good. I will always argue for that, no matter what someone else believes or says about me.
