Don't you find it ironic that the people who are telling you to help clean the planet and telling you to make sacrifices for the good of the environment are the ones who are flying around in private jets and using more power in one day than entire neighborhoods do in a month just for their one house? Don't you find it odd that these people preach to you about changing your ways or we are all doomed while they themselves do nothing? Since when did our populace become mindless drones who do what we are told without thinking or at the very least looking for leadership from the people who are telling us to do things. When some eurotrash wanted to over tax us for tea we said fuck no and dumped it into the harbor because it was stupid. When the Mexican army tried to retake Texas my state proudly humiliated their terrible army through sheer will and determination. And when Japan fucked up Pearl Harbor we proudly dropped two F-Bombs on them to make them think before ever fucking with my country ever again. And now I have to sit here and listen to a gay movement telling me gays should be allowed to get married, I have to listen to Al Gore and his global warming retards tell me to turn off my electricity, and I have a bunch of fucking pricks running the country that my family has fought and died for for generations trying to turn this country into a fucking communist state by letting the government control and run everything up to and including private businesses. So you know what, there are more important things to worry about right now then making sure your ass lube is bio degradable. The only reason terrible ideas, stupid fucking liberal whiners, and other shit is so tolerated right now is because our generation has never had to go through anything close to what our past generations have. That is why I choose to respect my country and ignore the eco guilt trips about recycling and driving a hybrid and instead keep my head on the ground, where it belongs, instead of up Al Gore's ass.

Pretty much our whole society is based off the philosophy of 'let someone else deal with it' so seeing as how it isnt my job to clean up the pollution or make 'green' vehicles I'm going to buy and use what's available to me. I'm not going to act like I'm turning a blind eye to it (i do own a ford focus :P), but it doesnt bother me that I leave my computer or heat on all day because I dont pay for the energy...Uncle Sam (aka all you taxpayers) does. While I dont follow Kthx's ignorance of the whole planet, I also see that something like Earth Hour is absolutely useless and doesnt accomplish anything except make people feel smug that were actually stupid enough to sacrifice electricity for a whole hour. I think the South Park reference was perfect, having laughed at pretty much the whole episode and thinking the same thing about everyone that participated in such a retarded event. Do you guys really think you changed the world and/or made a statement by participating in this? I guarantee 50% of the americans AT LEAST that did earth hour have made up for my hour of electricity usage in the time since that.

In fact...all the people that celebrate this have fairly easy lives. I've come in contact firsthand with people that would kill to have the same luxuries we do maybe you should trade places with them so that they could enjoy the wonders of the civilized world and you could go to protecting the world by not having electricity.

I know that public speakers occasionally fly by jet. Especially those who need to be at a lot of spread-out places in a short amount of time. Is it optimal? No. Is it necessary? Probably not. But that's the present we live in. Cutural shifts in transportation methods are not unheard of, and can happen fairly swiftly.

Don't you find it odd that these people preach to you about changing your ways or we are all doomed while they themselves do nothing?

Do nothing? Dude, even by you merely acknowledging what they've said, they've done something. And some do a lot more than that. But again, who the fuck cares about celebrity? I'm talking about making your own personal change because you're an intelligent human being, not because Sean Penn says so.

Since when did our populace become mindless drones who do what we are told without thinking or at the very least looking for leadership from the people who are telling us to do things.

MUST BUY COOL RANCH DORITOS. MUST BUY COOL RA...

where the fuck am I?

When some eurotrash wanted to over tax us for tea we said fuck no and dumped it into the harbor because it was stupid. When the Mexican army tried to retake Texas my state proudly humiliated their terrible army through sheer will and determination. And when Japan fucked up Pearl Harbor we proudly dropped two F-Bombs on them to make them think before ever fucking with my country ever again.

U S A! U S A! U...

And now I have to sit here and listen to a gay movement telling me gays should be allowed to get married, I have to listen to Al Gore and his global warming retards tell me to turn off my electricity, and I have a bunch of fucking pricks running the country that my family has fought and died for for generations trying to turn this country into a fucking communist state by letting the government control and run everything up to and including private businesses.

Whoa whoa whoooooooa there, Nelly! That's quite a run-on sentence of hate you got there!

Look man, you don't own a monopoly on family trees that include active service military members. There's not going to be an Obama militia or anything, no one's going to take your guns, and no one's going to take over your business (assuming you don't break the rules). The rampant paranoia is pretty impressive, though.

So you know what, there are more important things to worry about right now then making sure your ass lube is bio degradable.

Like illegal immigration and gay marriage? OH BOY! I can't wait to get back to hating those guys again!

The only reason terrible ideas, stupid fucking liberal whiners, and other shit is so tolerated right now is because our generation has never had to go through anything close to what our past generations have.

Now I see, the reason you're such a twatface is because you've never had to face ANYTHING like I have, seeing as how you're younger than I am. Fair enough--so obviously you're just going to continue to be wrong as long as I'm alive.

Tell us more, Old Man Winter.

That is why I choose to respect my country and ignore the eco guilt trips about recycling and driving a hybrid and instead keep my head on the ground, where it belongs, instead of up Al Gore's ass.

Hahaha, what the fuck does "respect" of your country have to do with being fucking REASONABLE or CLEAN? Head on the ground?

Have you been hypnotized by Glenn Beck's Big Bag o' Crazy?

wow conc, youve done everything except contest his points about "Earth Hour" or any effort to be "environmentally friendly" being absolutely useless. I wonder how much energy was wasted in making this be known vs how much was saved in practicing it? Your only on topic reply there was a concession that people who talk about this stuff are considerably more wasteful than us regular people. Try harder

[kthx]

Dude your so fucking stupid, honestly. From the day the first man sailed to what would soon become the most dominant nation on the planet, it was already decided that we deserved more of everything than any other country. After killing nearly all the crude savages who thought that they actually deserved to control the most beautiful and most bountiful territory on Earth, we realized that it was now our land to destroy. So we went about it, becoming fat off the land. While the savages tried to tempt us with casinos and cheap cigarettes we were off killing the other useless and less important cultures of the world such as Mexico, Germany, Russia, Korea, and Japan. Having militarily dominated the best the rest of the world had to offer we now had an even bigger ego. After this past it is hard for me as an American to not do what my forefathers have done before me. So to this day I continue to cook more food than I could ever possibly eat, knowing that I will have the satisfaction of throwing more food in the trash in one month than some terrible villages eat in an year. This is not my fault it is just the way I was raised, it isn't my fault that Americans were deemed under god to be the smartest, best looking, and most egotistical of anyone on the earth. Anyways back to my original point. Anyone who drives a hybrid, or makes their own compost heap, recycles paper/cans/glass is Un-American. You are depriving hard working Americans of jobs in the oil and gas industry, glass blowing industry, and can making industries. So I suggest you wake the fuck up and start littering if you want to save our economy concrete. Go ahead and think that your little recycling bin is good for America because you are just basically giving the fucking terrorists and communists another chance to blow up our buildings and start cold wars. God Bless America, Fuck Mother Earth.

even if you aren't just blatantly trolling at this point (hard to believe), this garbage rhetoric is too ridiculous to take even remotely seriously. take your own advice and don't recycle it

- Making less garbage.
- Wasting less energy.

...until you guys can prove to me that doing the above is somehow "absolutely useless," (which, I'd like to point out, you haven't), I'll go with scientific fact (and most of all, common sense) that conservation is a good idea. All wark has done is repeat how he doesn't have to change because he doesn't want to. He has no real argument. It's like arguing about the color of the sky with a five year-old. Go get yourselves some education and an actual platform from which to speak, and we'll continue.

You want me to contest the point? That's all I've BEEN fucking doing. Stop being fucking dense.

Try harder

Get smarter.

[kthx]

There concrete, now that you have spent about an extra hour replying to this thread than you normally would have, that makes up for the useless hour you spent during "earth hour" turning off extra lights or whatever the hell you do.
