Economic Prosperity is more important than Environmental Protection

As much as I love to continue to debate, it is now coming to conclusion. If not printed money, than what do you suppose we use as currency? Do you want us to use the gold standard to make live harder for our people and trading? I suppose you don't. Or do you? So now its disease when we're trying to connect our states so our people can commute? It's a diseases, when it gives us the chance to be able to afford food and other life necessities, such as medicine? No its not disease, Sir. It's a blessing. Oh my God. Stop. Did I just hear you say that "America started printing money. - America started the artificial value." I do not know where you got that from, but you're wrong, considering the United States is still a young country compares to other countries. For your correction, China was the first to start printing money. http://content.time.com... Countries do not just make currency has much as they want, doing so causes inflation, which leads to the money being valueless. United States currency exchange rates with most countries is 1: - . Take for example: United States exchange rate with Mexico: 1-13. By looking at this, Mexico currency is valueless as compare to the United States. America is richer, as much as it is boastful, America is richer. And since all nations of the world uses paper currency, than we'll judge nations by their currency. But I'm not judging United States by its currency, I'm judging the United States by its GDP. That's the real value economists look at in judging nations. But if you want to talk about the "actual value" than lets talk about the United States gold reserve. Period. But I'm not going to go into that. That is true about what they build, but I agree that it's not high on government agendas. I did not say it anything about what's high on our government agendas. If anything, Defense is the highest spending of our government. If it is not true about what they build, how come we have more universities as compare to the rest of the world? Technology is not the cause of people being lazy! It's people own state of mind that makes them lazy! It's like blaming your fault on someone or something. I'm still active because I do not get too attach to technology. I do not get attach to my materials. Once in a while, I go out. I set a certain time and limit that I will use my materials. It's human time management that causes them to be lazy, not technology. We could have a separate debate about that if you want. I grasp information and analyze it on both sides; and its benefit and consequences. When I see it is in the best interest of my fellowmen I follow through on it. I will not lead my fellow men astray as you assume, because my passion is in improving their lives. I've met with my city mayor, and council members, and been part of youth programs to discuss how we can better our city and our state. I take my fellow men concern with respect, and to see how I can help improve their needs. I have started a jean collection that donated jeans to homeless people and given money when asked, as a way in doing my part to help them. My intention isn't in ever leading my fellow men astray, but rather improve their lives. Everything I've said is true and I have provided sources to back up my points. I do not see how "to keep the American people in an illusion that they have freedom" ties into this debate. This was about economy and environment, not economy and freedom or environment and freedom. You're losing your edge buddy. I have my passion and I will stay with it. The world is a ugly place, I understand that, and we can work towards fixing it. I'm guessing some of these ugliness you're talking about is hunger, wars, diseases, and lack of clean water in developing countries. But if those countries are economic prosperous, they wouldn't be like that. I too support humanity - but unlike you - I favor their well being such as being able to eat, commute, get advance medical treatment, and live a better standard of living. What's the point of an endowed natural resources if we are not going to make use of it? This isn't simply about having nice material, but also having access to advance medical treatment, be able to afford food, being able to commute, being able to see friends and families, and being able to live longer. Honestly, I think you're doing a terrible job at playing jenga, as I have pointed out so many reasons of economic prosperity, defended it and backed it up with sources. To conclude, Economic Prosperity is more important than Environmental Protection, because it is through Economic Prosperity are we able to live longer as in Japan, receive advancement medical treatment, funds medical research, grow a lot of food, and building bridges and highways that connects and moves us, especially business wise. With transportation, we're able to import and export. Plus Economic Prosperity is good for the environment, because with the same money we got, we could reverse, or restore the environment, through scientific research. Look at Nations like Japan and China, they have environmental problems, but China is now the second in terms of GDP, and Japan people live longer and have access to some of the best medical treatment and technology in the world. Thanks for debating me. It was nice to debate with you.
