its like that here, all the tree huggers move out of the city in to my side of the barb wire. then they expect ME to change the way I do things to make them happy despite the fact that we were clearly there first. i should have got my buddys 12V cummins pullin truck, that thing will make a sunny day cloudy. also got in an argument with a kid in one of my engineering classes. he was talking about how great electric cars are and i looked at him and said Im the one killing our enviroment with a diesel truck when you want a coal powered car! he didnt have an answer to that one

While I generally try to avoid rolling coal, I have to concede that when it comes to some people its obvious that they are on a mission to be offended by just about anything. So why not oblige??

We're not the only ones that love a good smoke. If you want to read a few good smoking stories from the "VW crowd" check out this link called "Smoke Tales":

Roger that! If the hippies want to get pissed off i'm not going to tell them no, but I'm not going to waste fuel if i don't have to.

Hippies are just lazy people that want something to do without having to actually do any work. They get all worked up "same the trees save the bees save the whales and save the snails" because they want SOMEBODY ELSE to do the real work for them. They are just good at complaining how does singing and smoking weed do anything to help? Never tried the weed and don't intend to but it never seemed like a way to save the earth,am I just looking at this all wrong? And it was my biology teacher in high school that stated diesel fuel creates LESS harmful gases then gasoiline, Is he right? I don't know i just milk cows. The way I see it is the hippies are very short shighted, do they realize all the work and diesel fuel it took to get that granola bar to the GAS station where they bought it, they forget that nature controlls itself some critters eat other critters thats the way the world works. Let nature do its thing

Couldent agree more 84, they are quick to complain about anything and everything, but they rarly take any real action, or offer any sort of logical solution to the so called problem. we have global warming...yet it is still 55 degrees here and its almost may. but hey we must be mortal enemies of the enviroment though...we drive diesels and have cows...im supprised the world hasent ended already. theres a big debate about 'emissions' from livestock farming. aparently cows farting is one of the causes of global warming...(yea im serious) so i pose this question to the "enviromentalists" what about all the deer and the rabbits and bears and elk and moose, and birds and vairous other types of furry woodland creatures...im pretty sure all of them are s***ing in the woods too...

i too was told that gas cars have more of an impact on the environment than our diesel trucks.

that is the reason that diesel generators and such are used in underground mining operations instead of gas powered

i farted today does everyone feel a little warmer?
