The fact that why it's not more convinent and cheaper to everyone to stop selling the expensive energy use ones and only sell the energy saving ones. Why do you want to pay higher energy bills? This is about the third time I've asked this and your answers still havent given a valid reason why you are so opposed to it.

Okay, I'll try to break it down for you.


*ahem*

• The fact that why it's not more convinent and cheaper to everyone to stop selling the expensive energy use ones and only sell the energy saving ones.
  • It's also more convenient and cheaper to have only CocaCola and no Pepsi, Tenant's Extra and no Guiness, and McDonald's and no Fudruckers (or whatever you may have in competition with McD's).
  • It's no reason to legislate that one be banned and only the other be made available underfine or punishment.
• Why do you want to pay higher energy bills?
  • Again, I don't want to pay higher energy bills. Some people simply prefer the light provided by incandescent light. We have dimmers on some of our lights - adjustable switches to increase or decrease the amount of light a bulb gives off. Flourescent lights don't adjust like that.
• This is about the third time I've asked this and your answers still havent given a valid reason why you are so opposed to it.
  • I've given you my answer, Your Thickness. You just can't seem to get that it's not about savings, it's about choice, freedom, and legislature wasting time on trivia.

I hope this satisfies your curiosity.

1 - Coca cola is better than Pepsi, why would you want an inferior product for a higher price?

2 - Why would you care?

3 - Wrong, yes they do, have them right here in my living room now.

4 - You want to be free to buy an inferior, more expensive product? Alrighty then!

Light bulbs are really a small issue.....There are such larger more pressing LIES he has told

And last 20 times longer while saving loads on electricity, you dipstick.

Which is why I take the piss when lightbulbs is the best some can come up with to slag Obama off and then make a complete failure of it.

I find it this whole conversation quite amusing... :24:

Don't worry guys, nobody is going to take away your incandescent light bulbs.

I think it's just as telling to see what promises he's kept.
PolitiFact | The Obameter: Obama's Campaign Promises that are Promise Kept

Lots of them shouldn't even be a presidential concern.

For instance, No. 507: Extend unemployment insurance benefits and temporarily suspend taxes on these benefits. There is no federal unemployment insurance; it doesn't exist. Therefore, there are no federal unemployment insurance benefits to be extended. Washington is involved the same way it always gets involved in micro-managing state initiatives: They dangle tax dollars in front of local politicians. "You can have some if you do what we say." Washington shouldn't be involved at all; it's just one of hundreds of pieces of evidence that our federal gov't is too big and bloated.

Whatever they do to the least of these, our freedoms, they can & will do to the greatest.

So, did you make this much of a stand against the enfringment of your rights to choose between products when legislation was sanctioned against aerosol's with cfc's or styrofoam burger boxes from McDonald's or wherever you want to go to eat fatty food? (as that is your choice to) Maybe if American's were still exercising that right to choose an inferior product the hole in the ozone layer above Australia might be bigger, like over America, then people might decide it might be a better idea to go with the green option... just a thought:dunno

Poor parallel, but nice try.

Ok, let's move onto the lies he's told....

From the tracking on this site in the OP, they are watching 513 promises by Obama. So far....

18 promises kept
7 compromises
2 broken promises
3 stalled
41 in the works
442 no action yet.

So lets take it from there.

I'm sorry, this is going off topic! What about these green, cheap, lightbulbs you're so pissed off at Obama about????:24::24::24::24::24::24:

Here's the biggest one to me:

Stopping earmarks and special interests

So far we are over 10,000 earmarks...I don't give a damn what party you belong to, wouldn't you think this is a time to be frugal, and let special interests to some extent fend for themselves?

Do we really have to line them up and hand out billions of dollars everytime they ask for it?

The simple answer is no, it's just become routine, status quo



And besides after 8 years of Democrats crying...Your going to for sure get an earful, and you can bet, Obama will not be let off the hook by House Republicans, what's left of the ones that have balls.

The killer is that many of these idiots actually think earmarks are an important part of their job!! willy_nilly::eek

At the rate we're going it will become a new cabinet to fill

 

[Alien Allen]

he is not being forthright about the earmarks. He laid the grounds yesterday for allowing earmarks as long as they go to govt programs. why the fuck don't we just let the damn socialists in charge run everything. First up they can come to my house and wash the shower and change the sheets. This democrat bullshit has given me diarrhea
