black soot from tailpipe

What many have no clue about is how coal burning is one of the biggest problems not to mention steel production, plastics, trash burning and many other pollutants that contribute FAR MORE to the "Inconvenient Man-Bear-Pig Truth" than cars do.

That's why I just laugh at self righteous nitwits-- they don't understand what they believe in. Just tell the Prius guy that he's too stupid to really know what he's talking about and that he should go straight home and turn off his air conditioner, his heat, his television, and then not go anywhere for anything other than work.

It's not about saving the environment. It's about feeling good about yourself.

Ever read the saying "Save the environment, kill yourself"?

We all have an impact on the environment. Some more than others.

Yes, and it's fun to beat them at their own argument, which usually is not very hard.

+1. Why do you think the Accord Hybrid didn't sell well? It didn't look enough like a Hybrid.

Whenever I have to deal with smug Pious owners, I just point them to the nearest google image search, and tell them to look up images of the mines where they get the material for the bateries in the car.

I made a crack about nailing self righteous bikers by opening a car door. Robin2660 took it as a personal offense, and I just kept joking about it while he thought I was personally threatening his family or something. I just pretty much said whatever and left it at that.

Now Iracemine has taken personal offense as well, and called me out on behalf of all the "chi town" bikers. It took me a few seconds to realize he meant Chicago because I'm not all hip and cool and down with the street talk. So then he told me to **** my daughter (???) which I've found odd because I don't have any children.

And because I currently live in Texas, I'm a red neck. The fact that I was born in Boston and lived in the Middle East (Dubai) till I was nine must not be relevant. Texas I guess automatically equals red neck, and I guess red necks **** daughters?

I...lived in the Middle East (Dubai) till I was nine

Not that I want any part of this odd flame war... But I just had to point out if you're an assumed redneck because you live in TX now, then at this point you've all but proclaimed a Jihad having come from the Middle East, and the Chi-town bicycling gang is likely on it's way south to beat up some t'rr'ists for dubyah, one Lance Armstrong at a time.
