I Know the Cause and Solution to end Terrorism!!!

[broon]

Why are we in the middle east? Oil. Everyone needs it. Well the technology has been available for years to make 50+ mpg cars but the auto makers are in bed with the oil companies so they don't. Therefore the automakers have solidified our dependance on oil thus forcing us to support the oil trade which in the end funds terrorism.

First step would be to begin drilling in Alaska. No money to OPEC = no money for terrorists. Next we produce ultra efficient autos or alternative fuel source autos which will further decrease our dependance on OPEC. Within a few years the oil princes will have no more $$ to support terrorism.

I applaud you. Never yet have I seen such a concise and clear compilation of so many myths and conspiracy theories. Great job.

dont forget to add a few of the lawmakers into that list

or all lawmakers...


I choose to blame the military-industrial complex for no particular reason.

The problem with your analysis is that nearly every American feels they have the right to drive a gas-guzzling SUV, and the carmakers are more than happy to sell them what they want.

Right on the money!!

Perhaps when gas reaches $5 per gallon we'll take the development of alternative fuel more seriously.

I'd love to see americans put their fat a$$ess on bicycles to get to work for a while. Would solve some of the obesity problems.

I'd love for government and businesses work hand-in-hand to develop alternative fuel vehicles.

Even if it were that simple (which it is not), the terrorists would just go back to robbing banks like they used to.

Oh really. What myths other than we are in fact drilling in Alaska but not a very large yield and it goes to Japan anyway???

That's a given.

Actually, it's me.

I've kept the electric car down. I've got three in my garage, rusting away.

Mwahahahahaha.

But I though those kids that smoked pot on the weekends were single-handedly funding terrorism?

I forgot about them. Ok. So we drill in Alaska AND allow home growing/consumption of pot. We'll defeat terrorist in no time.

Who doesn't know that the government is spending money hand over fist to develop alternative fuels? The limiting factor is time, not money. Research is a cumulative effort - one group makes a discovery, other groups build on it. Throwing more and more money, therefore, will not necessarily speed up the rate of development.

The problem with research is nobody works as a team. Kindof like the drug companies. No one will share their ideas in fear of not being the one to invent and win the coveted patent.

It isn't a battle that I want to fight right now, so this will be my last post in the thread. His post didn't come out explicitly and say all of the conspiracies (which is why I said it was quite consise), but they were certainly implied.

[*]Why are we in the middle east? Oil.
Oil is a big reason but NOT the sole reason.

[*]Well the technology has been available for years to make 50+ mpg cars but the auto makers are in bed with the oil companies so they don't.
Back to the 100+ mpg cars that run on water, garbage, or whatever else is in the myths that have been going on for decades. Yes we can make 50+ mpg cars right now. And guess what, they are available and they are selling. So how can the post be true that the manufacturers aren't making them? If a market exists, the product will be made.

[*]the oil trade which in the end funds terrorism.
It certainly does. But terrorists get their money in so many other ways - drugs, donations, kidnappings, robbery, etc. The poster implied that oil was the ONLY source.

[*]First step would be to begin drilling in Alaska.
Really there isn't much oil there. Certainly not enough for a major impact.

[*]No money to OPEC = no money for terrorists.
I discussed this above. Without oil, there are plenty of funds still.

[*]Within a few years the oil princes will have no more $$ to support terrorism.
Oil princes are not the sole source of terrorism.

[*]Know the Cause and Solution to end Terrorism
I see no discussion of the root cause - hatred towards other groups.

Alright, *now* you have a plan!

You want people to share the technology that they develop while they're developing it? Then, there is no chance any company can patent the end product, so there will be very little financial gain, and you've just removed the driving force for innovation. This would slow development dramatically.

Actually some of the Hybrid cars are getting 50 miles to the gallon. Do your homework! I think with a Hybrid vehicle we can easily reach 70 miles to the gallon.

I'm talking about normal gas powered cars getting 50+ mpg. Like a full size pickup getting that.

But the hybrids are disproportionately more expensive than their straight-gas counterparts. I bought a Civic last year, and the same car with a hybrid engine was like 5-6K more. I sais gas would have to go up to $7/gal or the car would have to last 30 years to make the cost difference worth while.
