I don't actually mind recycling. We live in a state where you get money for turning in your cans, and my family goes through a lot of pop, so hey.
It's just that some environmentalists are super, super in your face about shit. My mom dropped me off (I don't have my license yet, okay? shut up) at the movie theatre with my older brother and my friend who were visiting from Wyoming, and we were accosted by a couple (both with dreadlocks) who said, verbatim, "MAAAN, DON'T YOU KNOW HOW BAD THAT THING IS FOR THE PLANET? YOU GUYS SHOULD DRIVE A HYBRID."
to which we replied, "Piss off, we're all over six feet tall and two of us are lumps of dough, how are we supposed to fit in a prius?" This was prior to the new SUV hybrids. If less hippies were self righteous and pushy, less people would want to light them on fire and drag them behind a truck.

hybrids are a joke
they are not justifiably any more fuel efficient than most other economical cars with the same amount of power. They only advantage they really have is during idling. And the increased cost and the ni-cad batteries that are really harmful don't outweigh the increased cost.
Once we get decent electric and fuel cell cars, then it will matter.

th... they aren't? I mean

I'm not really sure how to respond to a claim like that

ah yes reacting to harmless proselytising like that is the totally mature route to go
thx dude
When I'm being fucking accosted by unwashed flower-children who were born too late to take the bad acid at Woodstock, I aint gonna be polite.
edit: PI, my sarcasm detector is measuring at over fifty Mega-Chandlers.

When did I ever claim to be the better man during this whole quote tree? Ever?
It's the equivalent of you walking around and having some old guy call you a wierdo faggot for wanting to get a sex-change operation. Some dude you don't know getting all agressive because of how you live. Think on that.
Communism is not the logical conclusion of a country having an army.
SURE IT IS, MAAAAAN. ALL SOLDIERS ARE FASCISTS, MAAAAAN. WE SHOULD RECYCLE AND WEAR OUR OWN SHED SKIN AND HAIR INSTEAD OF GROWING COTTON OR WEARING WOOL, MAAAAAAN. PATCHULI OIL IS RAD, I LOVE HACKEY SACK AND SUCKING DICKS AND SMOKING POT.
Hahaha, laughing at that incredibly loudly got some odd looks.
I imagine the poles shifting would screw up the van allen belts for a while, increased cancer rate and such for a while until it restabilised.

teefs, i think what he is trying to say is that those hippies were gonna complain and say something no matter what he did. so he went with what he thought would be the funny option.
fuck the dude already said he did green shit, he just doesn't want to be accosted by pricks.
So, apparently the empty vacuum of space now has intrinsic value to radical environmentalists.
"Oh no, if we strip mine an asteroid for all of its mineral value, a barren rock in space will be slightly smaller. Boo hoo."
nothing in the article talks about the intrinsic value of a vacuum. the woman they quote was explaining that planets (which are not empty space) do not have infinite resources available to exploit, so it's in humanity's best interest not to view them that way (nothing about "intrinsic value"). I also don't know where you got the "radical environmentalists" part.

Except the fact that he wants a sex-change operation doesn't affect the environment, and therefore everyone in the world.

if we do destroy a planet that's uninhabitable, is that a problem? It's an ethical issue
The fact that someone sees an ethical issue in "destroying" (removing most of the mineral value from a planet's near surface would hardly "destroy" it) a planet with no life that's uninhabitable to humans is, at the very least, a strong implication that the person making that statement assigns some intrinsic value to untouched rocks.

His space is still being invaded by someone who will never be convinced that he's wrong.
Being told I'm killing the earth is no different than some some picketer calling two gay men being married queers and sinners, or a bunch of protestors calling a dead soldier a murderer at his own funeral.

Yeah MM, you should take the route of zen-like calm acceptance, like Teefs did when South Park questioned the merits of gender reassignment surgery.
they are not justifiably any more fuel efficient than most other economical cars with the same amount of power. They only advantage they really have is during idling. And the increased cost and the ni-cad batteries that are really harmful don't outweigh the increased cost.

Something to do with swapping from petrol to electric and changes the flux yada yada. I've heard the new Diesel BMWs and such are more efficient than hybrids.

The original ridiculously high mpg estimates they gave like 60mpg and all that were largely based off of old epa standards that weighed highly on how much fuel was used during idling. And for a hybrid, that is of course none.
The still have good mpg, its just not the answer to our problems. The increased cost is a large factor. Someday when you have to buy your own cars, you'll understand this.

they were raising a question. you obviously feel that the answer is no, that there is no value to an uninhabitable planet. that's fine; it's not going to be relevant for a while anyway. nothing in that article indicates that they're the kind of extremists you were attempting to paint them as, and it's clear from the phrasing that she hasn't decided for herself how she feels about it anyway. I'm still not sure why you reacted so strongly to that, or why you chose to misrepresent basically everything in the article when you posted it.

Never have. Never will.
And I applaud you for it sir, with the fat 'neath my arms jiggling its approval.
edit: Teefs, I never claimed it was mature, the way I reacted. You have to remember that I am a fat, bitter, immature young man. True, I could have responded much more calmly, and much more rationally, but I didn't. It's as simple as that.
