The Next Week May Change The World.

Maybe Brasil will have a new government jk nothing will change there..

I clearly prefer to go by car if the trip is not to another city. But i agree with you anyway, it is hard not to when we are aware of how much time and fuel is wasted in traffic jams everyday (its really uneconomical in every way), and of course how much pollution all cars together cause

 

what a bunch of bullshit..

 

Again, like I give a shit? You can buy the bullshit they feed you, I'll be happily driving down the roads any time or place I want to go.
Common sense, same bullshit they have been trying to sell since 70's and still a joke with no real proof except all the 'scams' set up to fraud $$.
If you want to ride a huffy, so fucking be it. I'll be rolling coal in my diesel!

 

who is feeding me anything? All I have to do is look around and figure it out for myself.

 

I really don't like being couped up in a car for too long especially in traffic. There's something peaceful and freeing about riding a bike with the breeze on your face and not having to deal with road rage.

 

Can't live where I live without a car/truck/whatever...

 

i understand that. but i also understand this is a situation that exists because people have chosen to make it so.

i would also prefer to live in such a place. but really, 95% of people live in places that either aren't that way, or really really don't need to be.

-------------------

at any rate, there are many things in this world i would like to see change. all of them begin and end with human people.

many have to do with how the land looks and how its developed, but nearly all of that, begins and ends with being about people, and especially the priorities they actually live by, too.

--------------------

a bike is wonderful if you live someplace relatively flat, and you can get around on it without having to fight motorized traffic to do so.

little bike sized trains, where the ground isn't so flat, and instead of motor traffic, are my idea of something that would be both wonderful, and not requiring anything near really high population densities, to be practical. and these could be powered by batteries, charged up by onboard solar panels.

not saying you can't bike up hill and down dale. obviously its done. but like car lovers, i do like riding something that moves under its own power, just not anything nearly as massive nor as much of a hassle nor as dominant of the landscape as they are.

i would also like riding something that moves under its own power that is nearly as silent as a pedal power. which is another thing, solar/battery bike sized trains would be.
while a fantasy perhaps, it is not so all that any less then practical. only a relatively minor shift in cultural perspectives is all it would require, to be practical completely.
even more so then what we have now. and i do believe, there is a future in which nature and reality itself, will force such a shift of perspectives upon us.

 

He's one of those people living in his own 'cocoon'. He knows he is in denial but like he said himself he just doesn't give a shit.

(See mr. Writer, you don't have to rally just against (certain) religious people )

 

How am I in denial when it is PROOF the ozone was a scam? Now they have switched it to 'global warming' and if you want to believe the bullshit, good for you. I live in the 'real world', not dream land like what's posted here! I travel all around too, so I know the general census of my surroundings.

 

It's always something.............................


Unleaded Gasoline
Lead Paint
Nuclear Power Plants
CFC’S (Chlorofluorocarbons) destroying the Ozone
Acid Rain
Mercury
Mesothelioma and Asbestos
Radon Gas Scare
Mold
Africanized Honeybees
Northern Spotted Owl and clear-cut logging
A Hole in the Ozone
Inoculation scare
Gypsy Moth Invasion
Global Warming

it's goes on judah......

That's cool and all, but what I ment when I said you are in denial was about cars are damaging to the environment. Not about the thread title about if it would change the world next week

One car wouldn't do much damage so in that way yes, it is tempting to just go around and drive in a more polluting car that you like a lot (especially when there are a lot of others choosing less polluting ways of transportation) , and we can't see the damage of all cars directly happening around us. But when you say things like I don't give a shit it becomes apparent that you are in denial about the very likely possibility that all cars together do make a negative impact on our environment. It may be worthy to mention though that a lot of airplanes are at least as polluting.
I'm not talking merely about big doom scenarios, there is also evidence about how cars affect health if you for example live in a street with a lot of traffic. Not that I need to study any research to know breathing the air in such a street day after day seems like a good thing to avoid. But you don't give a shit right, as you live in the real world

 

Some people are so obsessed with denying climate change caused by human activities that they don't seem to even notice air pollution, which is a separate although related issue.

Anyway - one thing that isn't going to change this week by the looks of things is the Israeli government.

 

Nor the Brasilian (did you notice the protests over there?). And neither will all our trees die next week because of the pollution. Doesn't mean there isn't pollution naturally.

Personally I dig certain kinds of polluting cars too. I like the sound, the smell, how they drive, etc. etc. But it just happens to be so that I give a shit.

 

I did notice the protests in Brazil although there wasn't much coverage in mainstream media over here.

To me cars a way to get from A to B. A necessary evil given the way society is organized. I don't really like high performance cars, or oversized FDWs, especially when their owners live in suburbia and never go off road, other than to take up 2 parking places in a crowded supermarket carpark.

 

Haha yeah, those cars never hit the dirt they were made to drive through.

This week I think I'll be a crack addict

 

next week, youll be mayor..

 

Wait, do you mean that you don't believe that ozone exists, or that you don't believe that ozone can be catalytically destoyed by atomic halogens? Maybe you mean that chemical catalysts don't exist?
