They actually have developed giant rat style traps where they smoother the bait child in peanut butter and leave them in the middle of the city parks. It's been a super effective low-cost solution.

That would actually attract Turco to the trap.

But not against the children.

I'm a big fan of the environment but I own two v-8 vehicles and drink mostly bottled water.

Hypocrite? I guess.

I drink V8, and drive water bottles. Interesting indeed.

hey can you write prescriptions now?

Sure. You have to come in for an exam first though. No free meds for you.

Yes. Get sh*tty people out of society.

I'm having to get used to seeing kids' playgrounds in parks that don't have giant signs saying that no adults are allowed inside unless accompanied by a child.

I think it's both strange and dumb that making an effort to try not to trash the planet is somehow a political stance.

It becomes a political issue once the government wants to charge a company for something stupid like "Carbon Credits" as a method for regulating a controversial "green house gas".

Don't litter if you love Obama. That's the spirit.

Does anyone have input on cheap, decent, unlocked smart phones for T-Mobile?

It's for my wife who mainly she uses her iPad while home.

If the nexus 4 was on newegg I'd get that because I gave a $100 gift card. And I want to spend around $200 or less.

That's true.

I'm mainly referring to a personal level.

This. Giving a sht about anything automatically makes you an extremist (insert wing of political affiliation most often associated with said issue).

Just don't buy one of those hybrids with the on board batteries and all of that dreadful lithium. **** is bad

How many carbon credits do I need to level up my greenhouse warlock?

Anything and everything has been, is, or could potentially be a political issue. All it takes is some people with a loud enough voice...or wallet...or connections...and the government will use men with guns to force you to do what those people want.

Sure, they might play nice at first and just use $ to force you, but eventually, if you don't play along, it's time for the men with guns to come tell you what you are going to do.

I would only get a hybrid new and when the cost savings outweighs the sticker price.

Saving gas is nice but my main motivation would be top save $.

My frigging Lincoln aviator gets like 13 mpg city though, lol

It's nice to drive up to the mountains to ski though, even though it's an '03.

Was not a good purchase used though. I'd get a used Forrester if I could do over.

Noted. It should also be understood that the earth is still 1-2 degrees C on average lower than it's average temperature for the past 4 billion years. Large sections of barely hospitable land in north america and the soviet asia becoming "fertile farm" land means another population explosion. As we currently lack the energy resources to supply most of the world's population, this is a bad thing in the eyes of the people governing us.

Funny story:

I was working at a hospital in my early 20's and had to get a yearly exam because I worked with Ethylene oxide. We had to get a physical and then get some pulmonary tests done.
So after I got the physical, I asked one of the girls I worked with "hey, when did they add the breast exam to the physical?"
She says, "they don't do a breast exam."
I was not happy about that one bit.
Stupid perverted doctor.

A whole city block explodes into a ball of green flames, GREEN FLAMES! And there are some that say you're involved... that you're a very dangerous man.

Aahhh. I just saw an article for the lumia 520 ,I think it was, and that got me on this subject. That looked really good for $189 but is a few months off still.

You can't be too careful.

Sounds like every hour or two I've had following the consumption of a protein shake.

No lawsuit?

I saw another article recently about how a gynecologist had a camera hidden in his pen while seeing patients. Messed up.. ...

Some of the car dealers in town will put the hybrid stickers on large SUVs so people don't get crap about driving them.

Noone talks about the batteries or mercury filled light bulbs. Of course, you're supposed to recycle these things. How many do? It's an alarmingly low %.

People in general are terrible at self-regulating. They don't want to be told what to do, but they also don't want to take the initiative to be responsible citizens on their own. Everyone wanting a purely libertarian society needs to realize that it takes an amount of personal responsibility that most people aren't interested in assuming.

That's why I can never fully align myself with Libertarian thought: it sounds nice, but unfortunately runs counter to basic human nature.

Who could blame him...they were pretty awesome before I had kids.

My girlfriend now permanently tests a false positive for TB on the preliminary test due to her constant exposure from working in a hospital.
