Venom? That’s not venom, Marion. That’s called humor. And it’s at your expense. It only seems like venom to you because you’re on the receiving end. Trust me, the other three people still following this thread laughed. At you.
Guess, what, Dave. I’m laughing harder.
Marion, what planet do you live on? I’m on Planet Earth. Here on Planet Earth there are many semi-agrarian communities that live a life very similar to the one you profess to want to live. Here in the United States, an entire subculture of (non-religious) agrarian-minded folks live the “simple life” beside and among the Amish and Mennonites in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. There are other – albeit small – communities like this in other parts of the U.S. and across the world. So, your assertion that “I can’t live the environmentally-friendly life that I want to because the modern world just makes it so impossible” is 100% COMPLETE BULLSHIT. You CHOOSE to live like you do. Plain and simple. So your attempt at rationalizing the gulf that exists between the way you ACTUALLY live your life and the manner in which you want others to PERCEIVE the way you live your life is, well, pathetic. You’re a hypocrite and a fraud. Now, the good news is that you can remedy this. You can (a) admit that living the life you pretend to want to live is just too damn hard and inconvenient, and your environmental leanings are pure show, or (b) you can send us a postcard from Lancaster County after you’ve set up house. Pick one.
In your intent to show what a hypocrit I am, you’ve gone off on a tangent. Reading your long diatribe on how I can live in a hutt in the wilderness is informative, but still you seem to have missed the point: We can help the earth if we ALL live a lot simpler.
Regarding your pro-human/pro-dave Yankees/Rivera baloney, I’ll use an analogy that even you can understand. I want the Yankees to have a bad season this year. I want Mariano Rivera to go to the Hall of Fame. Anti-Yankess/Pro-Rivera. See how that works? It’s not that complicated. Well, except for you apparently.
“Marion doesn’t understand”. “Marion’s a retard”.
Dave, it’s time to sing a new song. I explained to you in my last post that I understood your little analogy. Didn’t you read that?? Yes, you made the distinction that Rivera was the exception. Please scroll up and read it again. What is it that you don’t understand?
