I don't eat meat. I also don't consume dairy or eggs. Shatters your
illusion, huh.

No, it isn't.

Who cares what you've heard? Most of the people I know DO recycle. It
has nothing at all to do with this thread, but I know you're out of ammo
now that you've been called out on your country boy claims.

> Or why buy an electric car,

Shit, with the cost of electricity in my city? No way I'd ever get an
electric car. If everyone (since you seem to like such thoughts) had an
electric car, we'd have to build more nuclear power plants to keep up
with electrical demand. You want more nuclear power? Or want us to burn
more coal and natural gas (the two main non-nuke sources of energy in
the US)? Funny, you leftists seem to want us to use less energy.

Irrelevant, Gary. Solar panels are only cost-effective for certain
situations.

That is not the truth. There is enough food to feed the entire world
already. The problem lies in distribution.

The planet will still be inhabitable in 500 years. Stop getting your
talking points from failed policy wonks. The assholes feeding you this
nonsense, like Paul Ehrlich, were the ones who said we'd go to another
ice age. They were wrong about the coming ice age, they're wrong about
everything else now that they've changed their minds.

You participated.

You made claims which you failed to support with evidence. The best
you've done is make reference to one book written by an activist.
Where's your evidence from mainstream sources?

I don't eat any.

Whoa, wait one ****ing minute. You're the one who's made unsupported
claims. You do not get a pass by calling others liars without supporting
your own assertions. That's really pathetic. As for finger-pointing, wtf
are you doing to me? Loser.
