    interesting.

    I was at a buddy's house today for dinner with him and his wife. As we were talking he told me of a pretty interesting idea he had while driving earlier today: people in general usually have no problem buying a 16oz bottle of water for $2... 8 of these in a gallon, meaning we are buying bottled water at $16/gallon, and many times the bottle is just thrown away half-empty/etc. Why are people pissed about spending $2.60/gallon on gasoline, when we are willingly spending almost 7 times that for bottled water?



    (another stolen concept) Check these stats I ran with google. the internet is full of scum.

    Gasoline is an easy story that can be fueled (no pun intended) by the media further...god our station ran these stories about "are people going to drive less this Memorial Day Weekend because of higher gas prices" for 4 FUCKING DAYS!!!

    It's the really dumbass morons who drive SUV'S and trucks that get 8 miles to the gallon that are really paying for it...and should because they were too fucking stupid to buy a reasonable vehicle in the first place.

    On the flipside, it does continue to amaze me that stuff goes up and people don't realize and/or complain much...gas goes up $.10 and they are ready to riot...makes no sense.

    Mankind, especially in the US is slowly being drained and turned into mindless drones...and it makes me sick, but glad that I actually can critically think with my brain.

            rofl indeed my western friend.

            yea that watergas story is pretty interesting, but personally id rather have the nice tasting bottled water from fuckin fiji rather than 1 gallon of nasty smelling gas that i dont really need cuz i can get anywhere i need on a damn bus anyway.
            water>gas imo, i can live without gas but not water.

            as for your googly facts... you have way too much time on your hands to keep finding all these search #s through google imo pickle. still lub ya though.

              I hear lots of people on the web saying WW3 will be started by water, and it certainly could be an issue in years to come.

              Here in my part of the UK, there is currently a hosepipe ban in operation, even though the weather has been wet for nearly 2 weeks!

              And to build on the point above, they should start thinking about more fuel efficient cars instead of the large gas guzzlers currently about.

                It's amazing just how different all of those bottled waters taste. Being on the road now, I can distinguish which ones are just plain nasty.

                  That is so true. I drink a lot of bottled water and there is a difference between the brands. Also I hate flavored water, all of it taste like shit.

                    Have you heard about the bar in Paris that specialises in different waters and charges it out like champagne ? Also, if you think H2O's expensive in the US, buying a piddley little bottle in Ibiza at Pacha costs circa. ?10 a pop based on 2005 prices !

                    This release was mastered direct from vinyl at the request of the DJ and as such features natural sound characteristics of this medium such as record surface noise.

                      ^^^charges it sounds like the O2 stuff now selling that claims to be extra "oxygentaed" or something to that effect...

                      or Smart Water, which is electrolyte-fueled.

                      I may have to go find any tests that are done on these things to see if it's true or just marketing hype.

                        what i find just as funny is that americans complain about how much they pay for gas now, when the rest of the world pays way more for a litre than the US ever has. we're not too bad here in canada, but the prices in europe are insane...

                          it's only because as for personal use, it cuts into their income...for business it cuts into what their "profits" were...

                            That is a completely stupid statement but we've come to expect that from people of your "caliber". We complain because it is at a much higher rate than what we are used to. Get it right in your head and stop snorting the powder. If you weren't such a faggot then maybe you wouldn't be suffering from HIV. You ever thought about that? Douchebag.
                            And another thing, you're an "american" too.
