    The truth we love to ignore.

    Imagine swimming in that like Scrooge McDuck…

    It’d be like a huge ball pit but you’d never get out.

    Despite the fact that this Earth has been through multiple apocalyptic meteor impacts one of which wiped out the dinosaurs, it has been through multiple ice ages, supervolcanic eruptions, magnetic pole shifts, poisonous cosmic acid rain, dramatic high and low sea levels, shifting tectonic plates, gigantic tsunamis, periods of prolonged UV and radiation overexposure. Christ, the Earth even had a planet the size of Mars slam into it that gave birth the Moon.

    And all we can worry about is plastic bottles.

    What are you talking about? None of that was in The Bible except The Flood you uncaringly refer to as high sea levels. Poof!

    Maybe because it’s our mess, and all those are probabilistic, cosmic events which we can do barely anything to avoid. But that’s okay, let’s ruin and fuck the planet to show how much of an asshole man can be.

    Yeah, I like being an asshole. Fuck the planet.

    Why don’t they just make aluminum or disposable bottles to put water in?

  11. Hepathos on October 7th, 2007 6:46 pm

    Because that would cost 3 times as mutch.

    Remember when it was a joke thinking that people would pay for water?

    What’s more, water is more expensive than soda. More expensive than itself, with stuff added.

    Oh my god, people are dumb.

    Oh my god, people are dumb.

    If I’m going to school on my bike, I’m not going to carry a huge bottle of water with me, that will just weigh me down.

    They are pretty cheap ($1.20 for a 30 something ounce of water.

    Soda has so much crap in it, so I don’t drink it.

    What I don’t get is why they continue to bottle soda with aluminum if it is clearly more expensive.

    What I also don’t get, is with the current “plastic bottle dilema”, they don’t order plants to use aluminum (which is recyclable) instead of the plastic bottles.

    Sure it costs more, but they need to do something about it or it’s going to get out of hand.

    Aw Colin. Why would you wanna go to Venus? The surface is hot enough for lead to exist in a molten state normally, and it rains sulphuric acid. Not MY idea of a happy summer holiday!
