    I don't have a problem with that.

    The principle that got me to respond is that if I were to push for laws to make more efficient 50mpg pickup trucks, then there could be a similar charge of "me pushing my beliefs upon others".

    It's a no brainer that changing laws require self interest... but it doesn't make me a hypocrite for trying. It just means I gave enough **** to do something about it by proposing a solution through economies of scale.

    I don't think you understood what I was saying or perhaps you stopped reading too soon, I was never suggesting doing nothing and so your post is seemingly responding to someone else who said something else.

    If you've got more than sarcastic straw man arguments, we can discuss it.

    Fake news eh?

    So what is your argument besides if 'we have one massive volcanic eruption' we are hosed. Do you have alien insurance you should get some.

    You state no tangible moves just some possibilities of things that are as likely as you taking off your troll suit.

    Thanks for offering nothing bobby the great! Good one!

    GOOD DAY SIR

    I couldn't do it. I ate 3 cobs of corn yesterday, the really sweet fresh corn HEB sells not far from our Southwest Austin abode. That was after I had a Mighty Fine burger, their great fries, and a large chocolate shake for lunch. I sure wish they'd start carrying malt. I much prefer malts to shakes, but their shakes are tasty, so I got one anyway.

    Half of our small family are vegetarian. My significant other and the older kid, with the younger kid and myself working hard to keep the Texas cattle industry going. Someone has to!

    Well, if you read the comment you initially tried to respond to I sum it up twice pointing out that my comment was merely about how I would find it funny how quickly the narrative would change if one of those events were to happen, not that "we'd be hosed" and it certainly wasn't "trolling".

    Either way though, you've made it clear you aren't interested in discussing what I actually said, and instead are pretty clearly just trying to troll me so have fun with that on your own.

    I do more than my fair share to keep the cattle industry afloat.

    Making silly comments doesn't help your case either. Some folks have gone from "climate change doesn't exist" to "well we can't do anything about it, plus China".

    I'll admit though, some environmentalist are beginning to come across as evangelicals.

    haha when its 'volcanos' as part of your 'who knows' argument its impossible to take you serious. As well no one should or does here. Im more intrigued at house stupid you are with a dash of buzzlightyear set to broken engrish mode. Volcanos folks. Day rectum everytime..

    Please take your mondays lithium as lauryn hill would say "while today is still today"

    But would you like to buy alien insurance? it is covered in florida thankfully. It does not include swamp people.

    Cmon man I thought you were better than this but its ok. Maybe you can write a letter to clutch and ask him about the aliens. classic

    btw trolling you is easier than trolling a cat with a laser pointer. It's easier than getting your mannequin gf to respond to a craiglist ad.

    Easier than fitting 3 fingers in there.
    As I said
    GOOD DAY
    NEXT

    LOL, SMH uninspired low effort trolling only gets you blocked these days, not worth my time or effort to go back and forth with that kind of poster.

    So in other words, New Yorkers are great at b****ing about something they can do nothing about, but couldn't give a crap about doing something that can help another individual human being. Gotcha.

    Then again, New York did give us Donald Trump....

    I've cut way back on the fatty eating (large portions of red meat and cheese) and dropped 30 lbs in the process. However, I drive an old 2002 f150 4x4 everywhere, so my carbon footprint is probably still pretty large.

    This thread makes me hungry for a good steak. Ain't know way in hell I can give up red meat completely.
