Nope, you show a photo of some banana republic or Asian country and a photo of some occupy gathering and you want to say they are the same? Are you eating paint chips?

That is actually Miami. Look at the architecture! The Cubans have taken over!
Before we begin this thread, I would like to say that I have no horse in this race. I am getting tired of being accused of things that I do not hold merely for posting studies that I think the board may find interesting to discuss. Having said that, let me proceed:
This research demonstrates how promoting the environment can negatively affect adoption of energy efficiency in the United States because of the political polarization surrounding environmental issues. Study 1 demonstrated that more politically conservative individuals were less in favor of investment in energy-efficient technology than were those who were more politically liberal. This finding was driven primarily by the lessened psychological value that more conservative individuals placed on reducing carbon emissions. Study 2 showed that this difference has consequences: In a real-choice context, more conservative individuals were less likely to purchase a more expensive energy-efficient light bulb when it was labeled with an environmental message than when it was unlabeled. These results highlight the importance of taking into account psychological value-based considerations in the individual adoption of energy-efficient technology in the United States and beyond.
Do marxist/commie/socialist leftists willfully destroy economies and human prosperity all while murdering innocent millions simply because they don't agree with the twisted kum bah ya singing, ignorant mentality?
If you don't want to be called a commie statist...
1. Quit acting like one.
2. Quit referring to other people with derogatory names and labels.

How is it the wrong thread? Did YOU not title this thread, "Do conservatives willfully pollute and destroy the planet?"
I know I didn't make my comments to someone who was being polite and maybe deserved an ounce of respect. No, I made my comments to someone acting like a condescending jerk. You can try to blame it on studies, you can try to blame it on, he said, she said. The fact is YOU use studies and comments to attack people with whom you politically disagree on a regular basis.
