Fuuck the Middle East and their oil

[DoesntMatter]

There are so many alternatives. Here's an idea- Instead of $500 billion per year on Iraq, how about we just spend $500 billion on alternative energy and things like this?

Oh god, not another political debate...

i think we should bring horses and buggies back.

Who is "we"?

I doubt that any single country wants to invest in alternative energy, because after they discover it, it's only a matter of time until every other country that didn't spend $500 billion in research copies it.

It's one of those things that's good in theory, is well within our technological reach but isn't practically possible. I'm with misombra. Just walk or get around the old fashioned way. These gas prices are just criminal.

How about we cut dependence on fossil fuels, let all the human beings without any instincts die, and evolve into mammalian predators, whose carnage will unjustly include cannibalism?

Gas wouldn't be so expensive if it wasn't like 80% tax.

Don't blame the middle east, blame our stupid governments.

[anachronistic]

Gas has very little to do with the war in the Middle East.

[Illusional]

the real theory of america is to buy and burn everyone else's resources so in the future, we will be the only ones with oil...

how can our country which is a million times larger than the middle east have so little oil??

But what benefit will that give the war mongers, oil barons and industrial millitary complexes? (the dudes who run the country). What good will that do for them? It doesn't sound like they could make a lot of money out of this. While the country is sinking trillions into debt, these guys are stuffing their pockets with pure gold.

I say we turn the highways into bike paths...or at least add a portion for bikes. Hell, I bike whenever I can to cut on the cost of fuel. There's too many cars and too many lazy people.

I'd enjoy doing the thing in the video wearing a t-shirt saying
"Bike > Car".

Going by train nowadays, but in two months I'll try pick up biking to uni.

Thats similar to what I was thinking. I am beginning to like you again.
