Thanks for the effort guys. I regularly spill some gas while pumping it into my f-150. I keep the tires low pressure so they make less noise. I have my thermostat in my house set at 68 in the summer, 78 in the winter. I yell at my kids for leaving lights off. I drink a 12 pack of coke a day, and throw all the cans and bottles in the woods behind my house. I over fertilize my lawn so it looks nice and green. Who cares if I can walk across the pond? I leave all 10 of my TV's on and loud so I don't have to go into a room and think. I wash my socks seperately so they don't get lost. I change the oil in my car every 3K miles and pour the old oil in the storm sewer. I give the EPA helicopters flying over the river here the finger.

I just recently bought a rechargeable, cordless, electric lawn-mower, since a conventional lawn mower pollutes as much air in one hour as 40 late model cars running simultaneously.
Much like Catholics light a candle for someone, I've lit a tire fire in your honor
There's no regulation on gas-powered lawn-mower motors...hence, they spew a lot of crap into the air.
I'd bet you spew more crap into the air than a lawn mower. I'm reporting you to the EPA
After 5 years of owning it, I finally tuned up my lawn mower last weekend. I'm surprised the poor little bugger even started. Saved a lot of money doing it all myself, but now I have to figure out what to do with the oil.
Airmail it to me. You'll put money into the economy, the jet will waste tremendous amounts of fuel to get your used oil to me, and it will help my tire fire last longer when I pour it onto the fire.
Just remember.... you can make your life miserable and obsessed with energy conservation and recycling... and the net effect is zero.
India and China are rapidly becoming modern nations and those guys are gonna suck resources down like we taught them to.
Enjoy life, leave the lights on.
but some of us have children that we care about so we dont want to act like you
I have kids I care about. I lit the tire fire partially to keep them warm. Sure it's 70 degrees out, but you can't risk getting a chill and coming down with a cold, right? It's the responsible way to raise children.

Didn't you get the memo? The world does in fact revolve around pinballjim.
This in fact is incorrect. Jacktucky has his own gravitational pull, therefore it revolves around him. We're just along for the ride.
one child, and yes moron i do love her enough to want for her not to suffer because of selfish ---punks--- like you.
How are your motivations not selfish?

Polaris wants us to forgo all modern conveniences and disrupt our daily lives just because it -might- make a difference in the weather in 100 years.
when did i say this?
dont assume mate ,it makes an ass out of u and me. particularly you.
The BBC polled eleventy brazillion second-graders. 100% said your joke was teh lamezorz, and that adding "particularly you" multiplied the lameness by a factor of eleventy.
sorry to sound a snob but it is the lower end of society that is becoming the larger proprtion, which is economically unsustainable
A while back, in a thread somewhere around here, I suggested sterilizing the lower classes.
It didn't go over well.
I thought it went over SMASHINGLY Ed! I see a few problems with it, but I'm all for it. I will miss going to truck pulls and monster truck demonstrations, but at least I won't have to watch NASCAR or wrestling

Oh, and if a few less people die from e. coli in the deal, even better.
pesticides dont kill bacteria and e coli poisoning would be down to a person not washing after using the toilet as it comes from animals digestive systems.
Who said anything about pesticides? I'm talking about irradation in my example.
Hello? McFly? Beuller? Is this thing on?
Hippies don't believe in reading EVERY word. Saves on eyeball movement, which studies have shown will cause less heat and greenhouse gasses. It's on the internet, so you know it has to be true
Radiation denatures the food. I don't even use a microwave anymore, even for water. There are those who thing water is a 'crystaline' structure, that can be ordered and disordered. Actually, there's bonafide research, recently, that implies why homeopathic solutions work - ever after being completely strained of the herbal, etc, material - due to zero point energy resonances.
...
And here I thought hippies had long hair. Go figure.
The Food and Drug Administration has approved irradiation of meat and poultry and allows its use for a variety of other foods, including fresh fruits and vegetables, and spices. The agency determined that the process is safe and effective in decreasing or eliminating harmful bacteria. Irradiation als
o reduces spoilage bacteria, insects and parasites, and in certain fruits and vegetables it inhibits sprouting and delays ripening. For example, irradiated strawberries stay unspoiled up to three weeks, versus three to five days for untreated berries.
Food irradiation is allowed in nearly 40 countries and is endorsed by the World Health Organization, the American Medical Association and many other organizations.
Irradiation does not make foods radioactive, just as an airport luggage scanner does not make luggage radioactive. Nor does it cause harmful chemical changes. The process may cause a small loss of nutrients but no more so than with other processing methods such as cooking, canning, or heat pasteurization. Federal rules require irradiated foods to be labeled as such to distinguish them from non-irradiated foods.
Go chain yourself to a tree and sing a song, wontcha?

Thanks, MC, for the heads-up.
CJ, need me to add a few more tires to the fire for ya?
Man, I'm gonna go rub my crystals on my magnets for extra healing power.
Keep your "crystals" in your pants
and i dont need lessons on English either , my publisher feels i have a perfect grip of irony, maybe too strong a grip for some.
Your <ahem> "publisher" may or may not have a strong grip on irony, but he must certainly have a grip on editing punctuation and spelling. I cannot imagine there would be any chance of your getting published if he didn't.
It would be much less difficult to approach taking you seriously if you had some semblance of command over the language you are typing.
Nos, you're NEVER gonna get published like Polaris the science-y guy if you don't get a "perfect grip of irony" like he's got, even if you ARE right
Polaris, perhaps you'd do yourself some good to check out this neat new thing called "the internet". Look for "e coli" and "spinach". See if anything pops up. See if they attribute it to some guy droppin' a deuce and then failing to wash his hands, or if it had to do with NON-human (I'm referring to ANIMALS, since it's fairly obvious you aren't able to keep up with the conversation DESPITE being a "food scientist" and all) issues. Also, mopping floors at the local grocery store when someone drops a jar of salsa doesn't make you a "food scientist"
For someone who claims to have a job requiring that much brainpower, it certainly doesn't translate very well to the printed word
