I challenge everyone, for one week, place all the single use plastic items you would throw away in a paper bagged save. At the end of the week, check out how much was collected. I think you will be shocked. Multiply that by 300 million. Then consider, that plastic will still be fouling the planet 100 after you're dead.

Still the consumate racist, aren't you, Bigot Bob? Everything for you is about race, even when most of the time it really isn't.

Opinions are based on principles and ideology, NOT race, Bigot Bob. Whites, blacks, Jews, Hispanics, Chinese, and every other ethnic group have members across the political spectrum from right to left. But you want to pigeon hole everybody into what you see as racial opinions.

While you do not seem to have the brainpower to analyze things yourself and rely more on regurgitating the far left talking points, Bigot Bob, what you are espousing is Marxist opinion, or more property neo-Marxist opinion. Marx himself focused on economics in his scheme to divide society. It was his disciple, Herbert Marcuse, chief of ideology of the German Communist Party during the Weimar Republic who came up with the concept of bringing about a much wider range of divisions in society for the far left to exploit politically. He called that Critical Theory, and the branch of that which focuses on race, called Critical Race Theory was developed by a group of Marxist law professors. They even take the Marxist idea of privelege, originally an economic concept, where maybe it makes some sense, and apply it to other things where it makes no sense.

The perspective you advocate on these boards, Bigot Bob, is the neo-Marxist perspective, and NO, there is no such thing as a "white perspective". Heck, even Herbert Marcuse and Karl Marx were white, and so were most of the Marxiat law professors who developed Critical Race Theory. All of it is about promoting far left politics, and nothing else.

The issue is not who made the plastic, but who is throwing it into the ocean, and Little Bobbie, you are simply trying to deflect on that, based on your usual racial approach to everything. Even as to making the plastic, a whole lot of it comes from China and India, and there are also many smaller countries around the world making things of plastic and making plastic itself
The toxic microplastices shed into the environment by wind turbine blades is a new wrinkle and a good reason to ban wind turbines. But then there are lots of reasons to ban them like slaughtering birds and bats..

STan, carbon is a NON-issue if you listen to the scientists who are not profiteering off of the climate cult. Earth's climate history proves teh warmists WRONG.

Carbon is a correctable issue, which would not take hundreds of trillions of dollars, all designed to enslave the world. CT: you are right, the 'Green Religion is a pagan cult,' led by stupid people, doing far more harm that any good in regards to real conservation.

99% of all plastic ever made, is still on the earth. First world white people blaming third world brown people, is typical of privilege, but not based in reality.

I wish that were true, Stan, but the biggest pagan cult in the Green Religion is the carbon / climate cult, and they are often at odds with real environmentalists who care about such things as stopping deforestation and protecting wildlife habitat. There is little the US can do about plastics in the ocean, because most of it does not come from here. By far the largest source is plastic trash thrown into four rivers in the Third World, and that accounts for 90% of it. The next largest source is plastics dumped from merchant ships, most notoriously from Chinese merchant ships. Where the US and Europe have in recent years added to the plastic in the ocean is largely from the tons of toxic microplastics shed by wind turbine blades. stopthesethings.com (article republished from Buffalo News)

Once the United States of America does all within its power to keep plastic out of the oceans, mostly by recycling, this whole pathetic Green Religion will fold.

But that doesn't matter because the courts are "rigged" and the justices locked up and tried for treason. Some would say hanged.

Which is it?

Maybe, but they are in no way as bad as you would want us to believe.

Stan, nobody is shocked. Nobody.

Lets Be Honest: Dude, you wrote, "I'm shocked that you spread this kind of nonsense. There is no "radical" transgender agenda, rather there's an extremist anti-freedom agenda that pushes a pseudo-Christian line that only cisgender males with a twisted interpretation of the Bible have the right to determine what goes on inside a family."

From your words alone, I believe all people, with a full working brain, understand that there is absolutely a "'radical' transgender agenda."

Conservatives, both traditional and populist want to protect children from harm. Biden wants to subject children to potential harm, and Biden himself has a reputation for doing some weird things around children.
