Wow. Is that article that old?

Still, the Jury's still out approch is preferable to the idea that it is all Bush's fautl that the world is going to flood. That is just partisan blame. There was a recent (This year) article in National Geographic that basically said the sun itself is responsible for any global warming that we experience.

So we can keep driving.

LOL-ness. Seriously, people. Global warming is not exactly something we need to change our ways of living for. Theres plenty of other reasons for that.

I think it's good to change our ways of living; I think the world will be better off at a slower pace and all that. I hope that hybrid cars take off and pollution is reduced. I just don't think global warming, extinction, and ice cap melting are real problems. So I disagree with the "emergency" status, but I'm still a bit of a tree-hugger. Recycle! Carpool! Etc!

Hybrid cars are a bit inconvenient.

It would be prefferable if we could just do something totaly different, like a small fusion reactor. Of course, that may take a while.

Well, since we seem to have shifted gears slightly:

I'm not a treehugger, but I do wish to do my part to help the environment. My family recycles aluminum cans, cardboard, paper, glass, #1 and #2 plastics. Also, I walk to work everyday instead of driving my car. I was a late driver (didn't get my temps until after I was 20). My first car was an Aerostar minivan. I replaced in last September with a 99 Honda CR-V, which greatly helped my mileage.

However, my habits are not entirely motiviated by helping the environment. Where I work is a 5-7 minute walk from home. It would be a waste of gas, ans with gas prices as they are, its not something I want to do.
Also, my motivation for dropping the Aerostar for the CR-V was also gas mileage.
My best tank of gas in the CR-V gave me 29mpg.

Your right. so many liberals are like... they just act like they care to get votes and make themselves look less shallow and power hungry, but they really don't care. Hypocrisiy is so annoying. And (Ann Coulter) rules-much.

That depends on how you've let MTV influence you.

Thankfully, my parents never let me watch MTV as a child.

Any more MTV is more about stupidity thatn about actual music. I mean, look, the only show that even has music viedoes is Total Rlequest Live, and they only show like half the video. Its so bad that is why i only ever listen to radio. Free songs and its legal!!!!!

I never watched MTV. You listen to music, not watch people lipsynch to it while they dance.

I just read a good Mark Twain quote about politicians...I cannot think of it now. Maybe I'll post it tomorrow.

To tell you the truth, I don't think I have ever watched MTV for more than 5 minutes in one sitting.

They might as well change the name to something more suitable. Music Television it isnt.

It seems that on MTV and VH1, the purpose of every show is to promote envy of stars or some sort of deviant life-style, to humilitate people, or to encourage kids to sleep around with everyone they meet. It is an extremely worthless channel.

My brother watches it quite a bit. The only thing I use it for is "Pimp my Ride" (which I believe you said you hated in things we hate thread)

And even then, I usually only watch it when my brother has the remote.

OK, maybe it's not that separated.

edit: sorry, my ascii art was supposed to be two circles with no overlap. Looks like the forum didn't like blank spaces...
