    If I would use the computer all day you might have a point. I only use a phone to post here btw but still, i see what you're trying to say. Why it comes across as a rhetoric argument more so than a serious point is of course how much my computer or phone use adds to this pollution in comparison to (esp. shorter and frequent) air travel.

    Its a consideration as to why you fly over there at least 2 times a year to do pretty much the same thing as at home. I know it was confronting and blunt. No, it did not validate most of your stupid responses

    Anyway I’m looking to do some traveling.
    Only other country besides the US I’ve been to is England, so I really would like to extend my reach so the McFuddy Empire can expand. I need breathing room.

    Well I'm leaving it to the kids.. growing up in the 60s, we had fuck all.. we were told to work hard, we did.. now I'm reaping the benefits of over 40 years..
    Spending holidays in the UK is crap! So I took my money to another country.. now I can fly over to Spain when ever I want.. so stuff Brexit.. stuff global warming.. and I hope my kids, grandkids etc etc will have lots of holidays in Spain for the next 100 years..
    I've had cancer twice, probably the asbestos temp buildings they knocked down and burnt right next door.. my parents both died of cancer.. and I'm to worry about how global warming will affect us? Stuff it.. enjoy life.. each generation should do their bit.. but you don't have to change your life.. do your bit.. mine... I don't do plastics.

    Yeah, we went over this already. Nobody needs a special right to criticize anybody on here.

    Most were empty of any constructive content, just to try to get back at me or vent your frustration. I'm sorry, but that's the truth

    Morrow, do you think im against you being in Spain for sixth months or something? I already stated i don't. Does the details on how you travel to Britain in between matter? Yes, i would say they do. Especially if you do it frequent.

    It's kind of amusing to watch people argue on a small internet forum about things none of us can do anything about, or get to a position to even vaguely influence people in the real world.

    If you gave up meat and stupid computer games and all your other luxuries I'd begin to take you seriously. But you're just like the rest of us muckers - a poor slob. You strike poses thinking it will ease your conscience, the sad truth is it's completely inconsequential.

    To be fair, and I do see what you’re saying, I’ve definitely reconsidered opinions and even changed them from what I’ve read and discussed here.

    When emotions are running, though, the conversation really becomes about something else entirely, IMO.

    Who does it matter to? Not me or mine.. that's who it matters to.. I think it was14 flights I had last year.. could be about the same next year.. but it wont personally effect you asmo so worry not...

    Oh and mally might give you the impression he is a big drinker.. he is no more a big drinker than some are big weed smokers..

    Well, I don't give a fuck if you take me seriously. You're fatalistic attitude is not really becoming though. I know you give a shit so this acceptation that we can't change anything can't really feel good. Still, your choice. Carry on not making any change for the better and make snarky posts about politics and other people to make you feel slightly better.
    I sincerely think using stuff like meat, computers and transportation responsibly is the way to go. Quitting them all together is not necessary.
    If we all would be responsible consumers we would make an enormous change for the better. But you apparently don't see the point because you still see too less other people who do so. This doesn't make you neutral on this issue btw, it makes you a part of the problem

    Edit: i ment your in that second sentence!
