1. What are you saying ...stick it to the Arabs? Have you lost your mind?

That isn't the fucking point.

[screembloodymurder]

7. Yes it is.

We have to break our dependency.

[xultar]

8. Lets stick it to the big fat Whitey in the oil companies too

Stickin it to the A-RABS is what the racist bubba muthafuckas down here in the deep south say.

2. 3,2,1

"bad for environment, blah blah blah"....here it comes.....

(hey, doncha know its better to go blow up brown people to steal their oil than to do what Brazil does and make our own fuel?)

[xultar]

4. They are so transparent. That one is one to watch and play with.

I'm almost sure of it.

Shhhhhhhhh. Don't tell'em.

[LostinVA]

16. You better believe it

Like glass... absolutely like glass.

[BlooInBloo]

3. Wow.

[xultar]

6. You know that type don't you? Don't bait. Just play with them for a bit.

[BlooInBloo]

14. Sigh. Yah. Still hate seeing it and being reminded of it tho.... :(

[EllieGreen]

5. Eeeek!

The problem I have with this statement is that most "Arabs" (btw--many of the oil-rich nations in the Middle East are NOT Arabic, but are Persian and other ethnic groups as well), is that the people in these countries are already being screwed.

What it WILL do is "stick it" to the major oil companies (many of them owned and operated by American and/or European interests) and OPEC.

Nothing would make me happier than to see that.

9. who cares about the "arabs"?

stick it to the oil companies, maybe

[katty]

10. i want to retrofit my car to use flex fuel-expensive?

[onager]

11. Uh...I am currently living and working in...

...the ARAB Republic Of Egypt...to use the official name of the country.

They don't have any oil.

But every day or so, an Egyptian asks me: "Why do Americans hate the Arabs?"

I wonder why they would think that? Maybe they read Ann Coulter. Or sometimes...DU.

12. E85 is a fools paradice...

It costs more to produce that the benefits we receive from it. If we go that route, we will be sticking it to us, not just the oil producers.

[MadHound]

13. E-85, gee, I guess you haven't heard the news

Bushco is now looking to lift the tariffs on Brazilian ethanol, and since it is so utterly cheap, the market will be flooded with the shit, and instead of being bent over the oil barrel, we'll be bent over the ethanol barrel.

No, if you really want to kick our oil dependency to the curb there's only one way to go, biodiesel. With oil bearing algae, we can supply all of our fuel needs with biodiesel and then some. In fact we should mandate that within ten years all vehicles are equipped with diesel engines, and start building the refineries needed to make the stuff. It would be a boon to our farmers, it would be much easier on the enviroment, and it would be cheap and renewable. Oh, and the algae stock that you make it out of, well that's good for cleaning up our wastewater, thus saving money at water treatment plants.

Ethanol is not the way to go. We don't have enough crop land to supply all of our fuel needs, and the processing and refining process is quite polluting.

So rather than go with ethanol, let's go with biodiesel, it would be much better for all of us.

17. I use biodielsel... which is cheaper than dino diesel OR gas right now

This time of year, I can use B100... no money to the Oil SCum!

[Ms. Clio]

15. I'd rather stick it to Big Oil

doesn't that make more sense?

[LostinVA]

19. Gosh no, it's way better to Stick It To The Arabs

Because they aren't white American oilmen..... I mean, the oil guys are white and American, so we like them!

[Kerrytravelers]

18. I'll just grab a bag and watch.

:popcorn:

Anyone want to share a bag?

[LostinVA]

20. Have any Milk Duds?

[Kerrytravelers]

21. Let me see...

Ooooooops!

[mikelewis]

23. I already brought a bag, I figured the NSA thing would whip up all sorts..

of fun. Good to see I wasn't let down.

:popcorn: :tv:

22. Isolationism is not enlightenment

We are one humanity, a nomadic speicies that walks the earth,
that trades with each other to mutual advantage or not at all.

Maybe when the guns that "stick it to the arabs" today by
killing thousands will ring silent and your isolationism will
save them... or it will put a billion others in peril for its
withdrawl of human rights to only outside US borders.

[pinto]

24. Locking.

Broad brush characterization and inflammatory.
