I would have to agree that Bush is very enviroment friendly, just look at how is trying to control over population by sending people to die in a country we have no business being in. Good job Mr. Bush.carpenterguy wrote:Gore is the ultimate hypocrite! The Nobel Peace Prize is selected by a bunch of politically driven wingnuts in Norway.

The Story of Two Houses
LOOK OVER THE DESCRIPTIONS OF THE FOLLOWING TWO HOUSES AND SEE IF YOU CAN TELL WHICH BELONGS TO AN ENVIRONMENTALIST.
HOUSE # 1:
A 20-room mansion (not including 8 bathrooms) heated by natural gas.
Add on a pool (and a pool house) and a separate guest house all heated by gas. In ONE MONTH ALONE this mansion consumes more energy than the average American household in an ENTIRE YEAR. The average bill for electricity and natural gas runs over $2,400.00 per month. In natural gas alone (which last time we checked was a fossil fuel), this property consumes more than 20 times the national average for an American home. This house is not in a northern or Midwestern "snow belt," either. It's in the South.
HOUSE # 2:
Designed by an architecture professor at a leading national university, This house incorporates every "green" feature current home construction can provide. The house contains only 4,000 square feet (4 bedrooms) and is nestled on arid high prairie in the American southwest. A central closet in the house holds geothermal heat pumps drawing ground water through pipes sunk 300 feet into the ground. The water (usually 67 degrees F.) heats the house in winter and cools it in summer. The system uses no fossil fuels such as oil or natural gas, and it consumes 25% of the electricity required for a conventional heating/cooling system. Rainwater from the roof is collected and funneled into a 25,000 gallon underground cistern. Wastewater from showers, sinks and toilets goes into underground purifying tanks and then into the cistern. The collected water then irrigates the land surrounding the house. Flowers and shrubs native to the area blend the property into the surrounding rural landscape.
So the answer is:
HOUSE # 1 (20 room energy guzzling mansion) is outside of Nashville, Tennessee. It is the abode of that renowned environmentalist and filmmaker) Al Gore.
HOUSE # 2 (model eco-friendly house) is on a ranch near Crawford, Texas. Also known as "the Texas White House," it is the private residence of the President of the United States, George W. Bush. So whose house is gentler on the environment? Yet another story you WON'T hear on CNN, CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC or read about in the New York Times or the Washington Post. Indeed, for Mr. Gore, it's truly "an inconvenient truth."

Please stay on topic! This is an Al Gore thread. Where have we said that Bush is a great president??theref wrote:Whatever folks, glad you guys think that Bush is such a great president. Oh, by the way, school has long since been done for me. Afraid this is just going to be a difference of opinions. Can't say I'm either reb or dem, but I know a bad president when I see one.
Ya know what, nevermind man. It's obvious that you and I are on different wave lenghts here. My original comment was a joke about Bush being enviormentally friendly as pointed out in the example of the two houses. It then turned into a Bush hating speech when the LAG (lack of intelligence group) dedided that I was off topic. Or as BIAFP puts it, I need to stay in school, which is just a add on to the whining he did the last time I disagreed with him. Hopefully the wife puts some insecticide on the strap-on to get the bug that's up his butt. Don't worry, I'm done now since I'm apparently not in your league as far as smarts go, ya know, since you were the one that couldn't pick up on the relationship between my comment and the houses.carpenterguy wrote:Please stay on topic!

Thanks for the info on BIAFP. I understand now what the deal is. You either agree with him, or your wrong. Sorry for stealing the microphone away from you for a second BIAFP. You can have it back now and please feel free to continue with your ranting and raving about how we are all sheep if we are not Republican.Govs93 wrote:Is anybody else catching on to the fact that all of the right wingers on this board just love to hear themselves talk? Its starting to get kind of amusing. Even though a bunch of us who lean to the left have just kind of backed off, they keep going, and going, and going...

Whoa! I got one! With all the BS that comes out of you, I'm sure you could use a janitor. Must get pretty messy around lunch time.BIAFP wrote:Kinda sounds like your meaningless job there Govs.....I could use a new janitor for a couple of my buildings if your'e interestedGovs93 wrote:
