Wuss.  Frickin' pansy.

That's rather bleeding heart of you.  Everybody now:  "NO BLOOD FOR
OIL!"

You amuse me.  Name a farmer that has died or will die because of this. 
Man...hehe...it's a sick sight down in K-falls...those farmers are all
flopping around in the dust, their eyes bulging out, gills gasping, all
dessicated.   

Christ...the SMELL of all those dead farmers is appalling.

Yeah...those farmers are just drying up and dying. Reminds me of a pet
frog I had that I forgot to water.  After a week they look like jerky!

You're a regular Sally Struthers, aren't you?  When's the last time you
donated to the Red Cross or bought food for starving children in Africa.

Little babies freezing to death?  Christ...haven't you people ever heard
of blankets?  Hell, my uncle Og used to wrap himself up in reed blankets
and animal hide back in the stone age.

I thought you valued human life more than oil.  Frickin' liberal.  Go
dodge a draft!  *cackle*

Funny.  I was unware that we'd nuked Hitler the first time around.  Not
that I'm against nukes.  I mean, the sight of a B-52 or a B-2 gives me a
good red-blooded American patriotic stiffy just like the next guy. But,
how many times do we need to test our nukes anyway?  It's physics.  It's
the desert.  "HEY!  DICK!  WE NEED TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS IF WE USE FISSION
REACTIONS TO CREATE A FUSION REACTION.  WE NEED TO BLOW UP THE DESERT
SOME MORE.  TELL THE TAXPAYERS WE NEED ANOTHER BILLION!"  

I mean, how many fires does a guy need to start to figure out how to
start fires?  I'm fairly certain we demonstrated the effectiveness of
nukes at Hiroshima, Nagasaki, Bikini and Nevada.

You're rambling.  We know they were military targets.  Everything in the
empire was a military target. Tokyo...

Pin a PhD on this boy.  He's got it ALL figured out.  Hydrogen is
lighter than air so it's perfect for blimps, oxygen is good for people
so we'll just turn mixture straight up next time we fill our scuba
tanks.  Just think...if the atmosphere were NEON we wouldn't need LIGHT
BULBS!

What exactly have you done to stop the deaths of millions of starving
people?  Or are you just talking out of your ass?
