No, not everything is about money. But many things are. And it makes no monetary sense to legislate against the fossil fuel industry, and the fossil fuel industry is the biggest industry in the world. Renewables will make energy cheaper eventually, which means the total revenue will shrink, i.e. less money. So your argument doesn't hold. If it's about money, then exxon would be winning this one by a hundred miles.
Yes, you do need to believe some basic facts. Like the earth is not flat, like we were not on this earth at the same time as t-rex.
Some of these dudes sound like COMPLETE morons, and you'd listen to an absolute moron, who has no medical credentials, talk about medical issues related to roids? If your average bro who pumps and roids had a medical degree and is a practicing cardiologist or endocrinologist, it would be good to listen to them. If they deny basic facts, and then say it's bullshit that roids have bad effects, and they have no basis for saying so other than that they haven't dropped dead yet, you'd listen?? Wow
Bruh, who stands more to gain, exxon, shell, BP and the thousands of other oil companies making many trillions in revenue, or Al Gore? When 97% of scientists are in agreement, and the few percent that don't all have ties to big oil, it's pretty damn clear. If 97% of people you talked to saw your brother at the store today with a hot chick, and 3% said they don't think it was him there with the hottie, and those 3% fucking hate your brother, it was him. He was there. And the science is not hard to follow.
But assholes disregard facts. Assholes say what they want to fit their agenda. Assholes aren't humble. And a lotta assholes juice. I was just hoping, when I posted, that there's some humble guys with some scientific knowledge that had a differing opinion on how bad roids are for your body. But everything seems pretty anecdotal, which is fine, but obviously not a lotta science going on here... and some dudes obviously prefer it that way.
Read this carefully. I drove a 1977 ford that got 29 miles per gallon. My trucks nowaverage about 12-14 because of emissions standards. Do you have any clue how much more fiel is consumed by engines because of emissions standards? My motherfucking chainsaws get half the economy they used to.
Get it? Burn twice the fuel, save the planet.
You just proved my point.
EVERYTHING IS ABOUT MONEY .
You probably believe in "free" education and "free" healthcare. All of us individuals just serve you because we care about you....
Back to the original question. If you only listen to those you think sound intelligent then ok. Shit advice is not allowed on this board without serious hazing.
Tell me are cigarettes bad for you?
Do they cause cancer?
Dust inhalation can cause cancer and emphysema...
Hell, what if its the raw butane breathed in when cigarettes are lit?
Anyone can poke holes in any argument. Aas in excess will kill you. Shoot two grams of tren a week and at 80mg of halo ed for a couple years and that is as long as we will know you. Drinking too much water can kill you. Everything in moderation if you seek longevity.
Bodybuilders are some party hard guys and they may be dying under the age of fifty simply because of rec drugs.

This is all from Chris Colucci ^^^
Lotta damnkidneys going bad very young.
I know a lot of 50 year old crack heads...
Rec drugs.... I doubt that. I smell denial, really deep denial.
Shit, I been wondering where all the older forum members went... They fookin died brah!
That 97% of scientists deal is a lie. I will have have to go back and research how they came up with that number, but it's very misleading. Even the guy that started the weather channel said it's bs.
Damn Obs.... Do you have a secretary?
At least you are saving the trees! LOL
Since you commented essentially that unless medically trained our opinions mean nothing I'm curious why you're even here? Obviously anything we say not accompanied by "MD" in our signature means nothing to you. And when it comes to the medical world, doctors are not trained in AAS in med school. Not even TRT for example unless they take it upon themselfes. The overwhelming majority know very little about AAS other than old school dogma that it's horrible for you. Regardless of whether their title is endo or uro.
But when it comes to gaining knowledge you simply refuse to accept it from what you disdainfully consider layman, even though many here have been in this game I'd imagine longer than you've been alive. Your parents must have had a great time backing up everything they told you with a study.
Oh, and what I highlighted in bold above is the perception you've given to everyone here unfortunately. And btw "bruh" (whatever that means) there are many here with scientific knowledge including MD's, but who wants to deal with someone who basically puts forth a litmus test as to whether their views should be considered valid or not. Quite myopic and one dimensional at the least.
Dude, emission standards are designed to INCREASE your mpg! You are contradicting yourself. You are saying global warming is BS, it's about money, to increase Al Gore's holdings, which are all renewables, but now you're saying that emissions standards (which you are getting backwards) actually increase money to the oil companies. So by your first logic, global warming is about helping renewables business and hurting oil, and by your second argument you are saying it's helping big oil.
"Free" k-12? Yes. Free healthcare? Only for accident coverage. I don't know why I'm debating someone who is debating himself, but no I come from a high tax region and am in a high tax bracket. Not only does the economy I live in and work in carry the dumbass red states economically, we pay an unfair share of taxes too. But nice try.
No it's not. If you'd like to go scientist by scientist and get their quotes on endorsing or denying, go ahead. You'll find out for yourself.
The guy is a business man. Listen to his scientists. I know I do, because my sister is married to one who used to work there and now works for the national weather service. Not a single person at his office denies man made climate change.
No, I didn't say that. I qualified opinions based on either having some scientific knowledge to point to, or be a rational human being with some measure of backing to prove that. If you deny climate science, or shit like the earth not being flat, or the solar system not revolving around earth, your opinion should hold no weight. You clearly avoid rationale, basic facts and concise logic. If my lawyer told me he thinks the vietnam war was staged, I would walk out of his office immediately and be super thankful I heard him say that stupid shit before I heard him say some shit equally as stupid and damning in a contract negotiation meeting. Get it? If someone is a moron, their opinion shouldn't matter. And it's really more applicable to relate climate change to AAS effects. Deny science in one argument, liable to deny it in others. Next up everyone here wanna just vent about how trump really won the popular vote because hillary trucked in illegals to come vote? Holy hell.
We are done. Every single emissions standard decreases fuel economy. Who is that good for?
Engine manufacturers have had to reduce valve to cylinder clearance to such extreme levels that all the newer engines are interference engines. Break your timing belt or chain and you get a new engine. They only did this because they were trying to squeeze all the horsepower they could out of an engine choking on its own exhaust. Catalytic converter, egr, scr, reburner, any emissions reduces fuel mileage causing you to get less fuel economy.
Those red states that you carry, they are the agriculture states, the ones that actually perform the greatest part of the largest industry in the world. Oh fuck I will die without these cities!
No....
Wait...
Thats backwards huh?
Thank you for your miniscule employment taxes.
I have many friends with over 20 million in farm equipment. This isn't the 1950's, we arent dumbasses pushing plows.
You have accused people here of acting superior but this last post shows how you really feel about yourself. You are a douchebag. Go somewhere else.

He was CEO for a year before being pushed out. And went back to doing his original job... being a weathercaster! He has no science background.
He claimed polar ice caps are increasing and so are polar bear populations. Clearly incredibly wrong. He's an idiot. Go find video of Steve Ballmer, microsoft ceo, talking about how every apple product ever will be a flop. Good call there Stevie. The weather channel guy is a weathercaster, not a scientist, and hasn't been with the weather channel in 30 years.
Keep reachin guy
This single-model year standard was issued March 27, 2009, and is about one mpg lower than the fuel economy standards previously recommended under the Bush Administration. "These standards are important steps in the nation's quest to achieve energy independence and bring more fuel efficient vehicles to American families", said Secretary LaHood. The new standards will raise the industry-wide combined average to 27.3 miles per US gallon (8.6 L/100 km; 32.8 mpg‑imp) (a 2.0 mpg‑US (2.4 mpg‑imp) increase over the 2010 model year average), as estimated by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). It will save about 887,000,000 U.S. gallons (3.36×109 L) of fuel and reduce carbon dioxide emissions by 8.3 million metric tons. This 2011 single-year standard will use an attribute-based system, which sets fuel economy standards for individual vehicle models, based on the footprint model. Secretary LaHood also noted that work on the multi-year fuel economy plan for model years after 2011 is already well underway. The review will include an evaluation of fuel-saving technologies, market conditions and future product plans from the manufacturers. The effort will be coordinated with interested stakeholders and other federal agencies, including the Environmental Protection Agency.[40] The new rules were immediately challenged in court again by the Center for Biological Diversity as not addressing the inadequacies found by the previous court rulings.[41]
So, you believe in climate change. Congratulations? Others don't. It doesn't make them morons or anything similar. Everyone's not going to agree with you in life. As you get older and move out of your parents house you'll realize all this. Why not take your participation trophy and find another forum to join. Doesn't Bernie have one you can join to bounce like-minded opinions off of other ultra-opinionated kids?
But to the point, most here by now just want you to leave.
Absolutely correct! There is a big scandal where the numbers were distorted, and it isn't conspiracy theory, it's plain fact - there is a bunch of incorrect, in fact, blatantly fraudulent data in addition to the 97% b.s. But he isn't interested in FACTS, he is interested in dogma, like the other 97% of political party followers.
Jesus christ you are thick.
Who knew sending an engines exhaust into its intake increased fuel economy! I can knock the ucking catalytic converter out of you car and hand you 2 mpg! Do you know how many egr deletes I have done?
I am a redneck! One of those red staters that can fix anything that breaks! I can turn a truck up to 800hp or make a cummins V-8 get 25 mpg.please do not get in an auto mechanics argument with us primitive folk.
Really? Want me to quote you statistics about every red state's favorite enemy, California, and the size of it's agrictulture. By FARRR the biggest Ag producer in the country.
20 million?!? OOooohhh. Not 20 MILLION! I worked for a company that does $4B in ag revenue in liberal old california. Who gives a shit?!? You brought up the whole taxes and free this and that. I just corrected you. Red states get bailed out by blue states. Have fun on your laptop or cellphone, hitting the internet, tweeting your ass off or facebooking away, and thank california for all of that. Thank a blue state for your medicines, technology, engineered products and reason for our country being the economic power it is. And thank a blue state for subsidizing you. We pay for your state's pork spending. You're welcome son.
I was about to have sex, now shes asleep cause I been pecking on my phone!
You should know better borlef, now you made a hillbilly angry and horny...
You better run like a mofo next time you hear banjos!
and you apparently can't comprehend that mpg's go UP! when they raise emissions standards. It's the entire point of it! Holy shit. Get yourself to a local college, any college, STAT!
Attachment 170534
Lmmfao did you say central California?
I just pissed myself!
I don't judge people by their politics as I don't need to be around like-minded people to be feel secure as you so obviously do. Everythings political with you isn't it? Just go away. Personally, I'd pay to meet you right about now. Keyboard warrior, all 6' 165lbs of you. Just not on a windy day.
I have never seen Kel react like this borlef...
We have had some serious twat monkeys on here but you are headed for #1.
