>>7032Nah, They're gonna show movies on open air projectors to a bunch of stereotypical black chicks.
It's so fucking retarded to place polar bears on the threatened list when their population has increased by 300% since the 70's.ecofascists need to shut the fuck up.

>>7034What, there's now 4 polar bears instead of just one?Jeez, you conservatives and your percentile figures. It's almost like a big old flag that says "simplistic trickery here".

Jeez, you conservatives and your percentile figures. It's almost like a big old flag that says "simplistic trickery here".
>>7037Oh yes, because 4 is the actual number of polar bears. Silly me, I guess we should bring industry to a halt because ecotards can't count.
>>7045Yeah, there are eight now.
I think he thinks he's saying that because someones claims we have more polar bears than we used to, that makes it perfectly alright to ignore imminent changes that might exterminate the polar bears. It's somewhat akin to jumping out of an airplane without a parachute and proclaiming how safe it is all the way down.p.s. And don't think for a minute that polar bears don't know what apples is.
