Hummer greener than Prius Options

[pebkac]

Sigh... and everyone who has ever eaten beef in their life ingests fat. But you wouldn't argue that someone who eats a McDonalds double quarter pounder every meal of every day is as healthy as someone who actually watches their diet would you?

You're creating a false dilemma in saying that you either have to pollute the environment or not pollute it without acknowledging that there's such thing as different degrees of pollution.

this is a stupid analogy. fat is required for a healthy diet. do you think the planet's 'health' needs pollution? or craves pollution?

yeah there's different degrees of pollution. just like there's different degrees of a pile of shit. you know what? they both still smell like shit. and you can't make it better just by shitting less. it's absurd to have someone who shits 2 logs walking over to tell the person who shits 2.5 logs that they need to shit less to help reduce the shit smell.

tell me which you think will happen first
1. we develop the technology to turn trash into energy instead of sending it to landfills (already being developed)
2. we take the entire human race back to square one and live in the forest with stone tools

Actually...the planet does need some carbon dioxide

lol will... like you saying i'm owned means jack shit... you ever get into UT?

Wow. Nothing has changed.

[impala454]

Wow. Nothing has changed.

what did you expect?

[James]

Lots of stuff has changed. Lance has another new name. So do you and a few others. Sports is no longer dying; it's just flat out dead. That's all I got for now, but I know there's more.

I'm surprised no one discussed this yet... I haven't found any decent links but they discussed it on the world news the other night on some "Dust to Dust" report done. Basically, from manufacture to garbage heap, the hummer will use way less energy than a prius, as well as the prius production itself having adverse affects on the environment. Apparently the big pollutant for the prius, is something like the nickel mining for its lots of batteries being one of the dirtiest, most polluting resources on the planet today.

here's a quick story (yes i know its a hummer site) but it will explain what the story is about.

Yeah, I also like how those same people wanna shut down drilling operations in this country because "they ruin the environment" but it's perfectly ok for us to fuck up the middle-eastern environment by that logic.

"environmentalists" are fucking idiots, period. And you can quote me on that

[James]

I'll go you one better: "People are stupid." and you can take that to the bank...quite literally if you get a check from me

People have seemed to mellow out a lot. I know I have, both on here and in real life.

daus posted a link to some environmentalists blog... wtf do you think it's gonna say?

And you posted to some Hummer blog, wtf do you think it's gonna say?

The original blogger(off the environmental one) will post some sort of ignorant statement, much like the article that you posted that some kid wrote as an editorial for his school paper, and which you have taken as fact. The stuff I copied were rebuttals to ignorant people like you that defended this Chris Demorro guy under the comments section.

If nickel is such a problem, perhaps we should blame contracters for using stainless steel in their buildings, roads, and bridges. Blame the entire automotive industry, the foodservice industry, and tool manufacturing for all their stainless steel usage also. While we're at it, blame Sony, Energizer, Rayovac, and Duracell for making billions of batteries that contain nickel. The entire television, speaker, microphone, hard disk drive, credit cards, tranformers, electric motors and generator industry for their obscene use of magnets in their products, which contain nickel. Of course, you can't forget to blame the US for having nickel in US nickels, dimes, quarters and other coinage by the rest of the world that contains nickel. The list goes on and on for the applications of nickel.

Now keep in mind that all of these things have been used for many years, and some for decades and centuries, way before a the concept of a Prius even existed.

Titties have never hurt the environment and that is an irrefutable truth.

The "hippie" douchebags that want to do nothing more than bitch and smoke pot (or go all sue happy) are.

The ones that actually care about the world around them, utilizing logic (not found to often on this website) instead of a fad feeling, are a-ok in my book.

[James]

I use logic everytime I post. It goes something like this:

CODE

if I want to piss someone off then
     post
else if I am bored then
     post
else
     don't post
end

When one speaks of the lack of logic on this board, it should be assumed that both James and Christine are excluded from the discussion.
