Thank you - I think

I have always been caustic when prodded. I do find that my application of lye has become somewhat better aimed - at least in my own opinion.

To switch metaphors somewhat:
The thing that surprises me is when the ostrich starts kicking the thing that’s biting his butt instead of spitting out the sand and starting to run or at least admit it’s starting to hurt.

Or conversely when said ostrich insists the sky is blue when it hasn’t bothered to take a peak at the sky in 60 years.

Or maybe I’m just a bored fish yanking on some fishermans line.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('common_sense', 'O')il is not going to run out.

Simple fact is that we've done mostly land drilling, with some offshore drilling.

Even in this insane scenario we completely run out in twenty years, there is still the fact we can drill in the oceans.

Oh, right, you forgot about the oceans.

Further, you fail to take into account that in the next ten years we'll have viable alternative fuel sources.

Jesus Christ. I'm tired of this paranoid, end of the world crap. You folks are almost as bad as the nuclear war people.

common_sense,

Your common sense is insane. Grow up.

[Pops]

It wouldn't surprise me though if a certain amount if the dust thrown around here didn't have more of an intent than just to wile away some personal down time.

[Dukat_Reloaded]

Common_Sense, don't worry we arn't at peak yet. The high oil price currently is due to extream global growth recently which oil production is currently unable to fully meet demand. Oil at $70 the economies of the world can't last long without easing off of demand, when that happens oil prices will come back down and most likely also oil production will have increased with oil going back down under $50 and most likely many commodities as well. Ben Bernakie today played the markets an idea that interest rates are going on hold an that sent alot of commodity price up to record level and also the stockmarket up 2% in one day. I am suprised this is happening with oil at record levels so I put alot of the oil price down to inflation as well.

On a serious note,

I cannot understand why anyone who doesn't buy into the "more" way of thinking is labelled a "doom and gloomer". Each way of thinking is just another way of thinking, right ?

I actually prefer the "less is more" way of life anyway.

Has the enitre world lost it's marbles ?

Still, what common_sense did here was hilarious - talk about jamming a stick into the hive!

I'm tempted to go find some themed board and post something totally obnoxious to the community... maybe I can find a nice pro-life board

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('lateStarter', 'D')o you know what is really insane? Oil crosses over 70 and the DOW is up around 200. The human race never ceases to amaze me. I hope that I manage to hold on for a few more years... The show should be (what is the word I'm looking for - astounding and yet extremely sad at the same time)... Hmm?

[SoothSayer]

Is there a "Troll Of The Year" award? If so, common_sense has won it!

[crapattack]

Common_sense: NOT.

What you lack in argument you make up for in blind arrogance, but you are a great example to those of us on this forum who needed a reminder of how ridiculously moronic and uninformed most people are about this topic. For this reason I thank you for wandering in and taking a crap in the pool.

I think common_sense deserves a round of applause. He has demonstrated the sense that is, unfortunately, common.

[o2ny]

I think that was a real post... common_sense's cute little diatribe represents the almost universal knee-jerk denial response of those confronted with the issue of peak-oil for the first time, whether they are intelligent people or not.

That said, I sure do wish he/she would come back and answer some of the fine rebuttals levied against his statement.
