We cant live in any other planets
There is no air, ozone layer, food, and soil we need to live
We also depend on other animals

Because we stepped in at world war 2 at the end when both sides had been fighting a while, and then aided one, putting them in debt, and silenced the other side.
That and were our own continent pretty much. (Sorry canada, you don't have all the great feilds of crops that we have.)

you have the most pesimistic way of thinking.
We dont have 40 uyears left of oil, we 10 times that amount
after alberta found the tar sands that contain oil we have increased the amount of oil production exponetially.
saudi arabia has more oil than alberta even with our tar sands and if anything they have a good 100 years of oil production.
with technological advancements we can improve how much oil we use thus increaing our supply time and decreasing harmful emissions. whoever says technological advancement is bad is a moron.

lol you just dont know what you're talking about
tar sands - sandstone bearing high molecular weight hydrocarbons that can be recovered to yield oil products
alberta is rish because of them (only canadian province out of debt, make like $10 billion of surplus each year)
we can extract oil from tar sands
alberta has A LOT of tar sands, in fact we are the second largest extractor of crude oil in the world (number one being saudi arabia)
you prob dont even know what hydrocarbons are
okay, now to explain more
FOSSIL FUELS ARE crude oil which are actually named petroleum. EVERYTHING from plastics to gasoline comes from petroleum, which is the same as crude oil, which is extracted from the ground and now as we all know, tar sands too.
example: butane, C4H10, is a synthesized product of petroleum. it is a hydrocarbon because it conatins only the two elements carbon and hydrogen. it has 4 carbon atoms and 10 hydrogen atoms.
do not argue with me that there isn't enough oil or that we only have 40 years left
that is a crock of shat

im in high school
i got that from my classes and my 15 years of knowlage building
you dont have to be 30 to know that, nor a scientist
and it doesn't even matter where i got it from
its the truth
i dont even understand why you're still arguing with me
i've given you conclusive proof that there is no crazy shortage of oil
er sorry.. petroleum
i can also prove technological advancement can improve and reduce green house gases and generally protect the environment
the canadian government is forcing all gas companies run in canada to add 5% ethenol (grain alcohol) to all gasoline. ethenol, like i said, is grain alcohol. it burns very clean and can still be used as a fuel. now, pretty much every car cant run on just pure ethenol, but a dilluted solution of ethenol and gasoline would decrease the harmful gases produced and even further increase our supply of fuel. the technological advancement of being able to add this 5% (and in furture plans up to 15%) has helped environment

Hoo hoo boy, no offence to anyone, but it seems in the last year weve lost alot of the... "informed left wing" people we once had in the serious discussion forum 
I think that America is the most powerful nation in the world because of the thousands of multi-national companies that are based in america. THe ones that make 3rd world people work for incredibly low wages, deporting their own natural resources from that country, then after being proccessed, buying them back for twice the price they sold them.
Doing this to several countries helps america maintain its sense of power.
I hope we wont have to discuss Iran.. And I belive 50% 9/11 was terrorists and another 50% of me belives it was made by the government to find a silly excuse for war.
*
Wow, now that's some excuse ! If I would be in the goverment & want to find an excuse for war, I would blow up something smaller, with less casualties.
You would be surprised how little world leaders care about their own people, even when pretending to. I think DarK is pretty much right. while the attack was harsh, it was severely provoked, and they were able to start a war on iraq, claiming that it had "weapons of mass destruction". Although its a bit funny how everyone magically forgot about this statement as soon as hussein was taken out of power. (who, by the way, was put in power by the CIA a long time ago)
"No blood for oil" was a popular slogan of the anti-war movement because people made the connection between the US-led drive to war and the big corporations’ desire to "liberate" Iraq’s oil (the second largest known reserves in the world at the time of the invasion). The US aimed to install a new regime in Baghdad that would be more amenable to USbased multinationals.
In a sick twist the "reconstruction" of Iraq has been a massive source of "corporate welfare", the contracts (handed out by the US authorities in Baghdad) mainly going to companies based in countries that supported the war — the very same countries that helped devastate Iraq’s infrastructure and economy!
All in all, you cant beat it, because once one president is out, another is in who does just as bad. It isnt the leaders, its capitilism. For those that dont know what the definition of Capitilism is, here you go:
Capitalism is a fundamentally inhumane system. Corporations controlled by a tiny handful of the ultra-rich monopolise society’s wealth, technology and productive power. The land, natural resources, machinery and factories - the "means of production" - are owned by private individuals, the capitalists. And governments in the wealthy countries wage wars on their behalf to control sources of wealth like oil. While this minority enriches themselves off corporate profits and live the high life, the rest of society can survive only by working.
The vast majority of people make their living by selling their ability to work to the capitalists. Even if you work for one of the remaining "public" state-owned companies, capitalists still profit from your work through the subsidies governments give big business out of the profits of state companies as well as your taxes and out of the services the public sector provides to private enterprises to make profit-making just that little bit easier.
This division of society into "haves" and "have-nots" is not new. Past societies were also divided into classes. In ancient Rome there were slave owners and slaves. In the Middle Ages there were feudal lords, vassals, guild masters, journeymen, apprentices, serfs. The development of capitalist society didn’t do away with class divisions but it made them simpler.
