Please dumb down a discussion of dangerous fossil fuel waste so I can feel better about my car.

[NNadir]

I don't want to hear anything at all about the chemistry of benzopyrenes, benzofurans, the IR absorption spectra of carbon dioxide, pH, acid rain, heavy metals poisoning, geology or any other subject like that.

Physics is also out of the question. Nothing about heat capacity, the entropy of chemical separations, nothing like that.

Also epidemiology. You are not allowed to discuss any kinds of cancer associated with dangerous fossil fuels, because I want to feel good about my car.

All I want to hear is that my car is great.

Super.

Duper.

Totally without consequence.

Perfecto mundo.

Got it?

Fire away.

1. Go out and wash your car.

It will look good and run better too!

Howz that?

[NNadir]

3. That's great.

The first thing that those damn hippies always do when they make up a water shortage is to tell me I can't wash my car.

I hate that.

[jpak]

5. ...and while your at it, my Mercedes E330 or whatever

:evilgrin:

[NNadir]

6. You're always welcome in any discussion where science is banned.

You are an expert in avoiding science.

[jpak]

7. and you're a scientist?

do tell

:rofl:

[NNadir]

8. Ask your Mom.

[jpak]

9. My Mom knows

does yours???

[NNadir]

11. My Mom is dead.

She's been dead, in fact, more than three decades.

She had, if you must know, a 9th grade education and nothing more. She was one of thirteen children, ten of whom survived to adulthood. Her mother died when she was eleven; her father when she was 20.

Every day afterwards she depended on her own resources, until she married, whereupon she shared resources with my father.

My own intellect derives wholly and totally from her and my father, and my intellect is all that they left me. There is not one day that passes that I do anything but acknowledge their presence in the development of my thought.

We didn't spend our days getting plastered at Yuppie dinners for 40, by the way.

14. Your Mom would be proud of your intellectual posts...here on DU...

2. have you considered Speed Holes?

make car go fast.

[L0oniX]

4. That's exactly how I feel about my boat.

[Turbineguy]

10. I'd paint the bow (that's the pointy end) purple

World War Two had ended and I found myself crossing Times Square with a Purple Heart on.

BTW: Cool stacks!

My boat:

[losthills]

12. I'd like to hear an explanation

of the relationship between nuclear power and cars.

Thanks in advance...

[NNadir]

13. Gee...I don't know...

Could you hazard a guess?

[losthills]

15. I thought you were here to help us....

[NNadir]

16. That is not why I am here.

I am here to express my ideas.

I couldn't care less about you personally, although, very clearly I am a big, big, big fan of the way Galileo invented the character of "Simplico." It got him in trouble, but it was delicious trouble.

17. Put a Tiger in your Tank

[Nihil]

18. Sumatran I presume?

Or have people forgotten the problems with using nature reserves to
grow palm-oil for "biofuel"?

[kestrel91316]

19. Tell us again how you plan to ensure that nuclear waste can't contaminate

water supplies for the next 100,000 years or so..........

Oh, and tell the Navajo nation again just how inconsequential previous uranium mining has been to their community.........


(crickets chirping)


Oh, and don't forget to call the Navajos illiterate while you're at it.

[Javaman]

20. It will make a great planter in a few years. nt
