Also, not emitting sulphur only required a few modifications to the existing process people were using, so there wasn't as much political opposition to it. If we want to stop emitting carbon that'll take a lot more effort, so people are putting the effort in to opposing it rather than just going along with it.
Then no-one would need plastic tears, and those hard-working plastic tear manufacturers would be out of a job. Of course they'll blame the losses on plastic tear piracy...
Did you even read the first 14 words of your link?
In many parts of the developed world, suburbs are different from the American suburb
Perhaps the first AC could have phrased it better and said "Only Americans could come up with an idea as backward and stupid as the the way Americans build suburbs."
Ok, that's a level of detail that I didn't really consider. Basically forking would involve just as much work as maintaining a private version, unless you get lucky and lots of people jump on your band wagon.
A few points: 1. Cancer, heart disease, etc. have largely arisen due to increased life expectancy, and the fact that people now live long enough to get sick with that kind of thing. 2. Your other examples of "new" diseases were likely merely undiagnosed and untreated in the past. 3. Wouldn't a cancer-cide be a good thing, coz it would kill the cancer?
My Dad always looks at the keyboard while he's playing games. Then tells me that he doesn't know how I did (whatever I just did) and he didn't even see it. No matter how many times he does it, it's still funny.
Here in Houston we voted to get rid of the red light cameras; but then the city was sued by the company that was operating them, for breach of contract. So the city had to turn them back on.
Pretty safe, aluminium powder won't hurt you all that much, it's a fairly confined crystal, unlike Asbestos or something which has long sprawling crystal structures just waiting to get stuck in your lungs.

You may notice that the strategy worked remarkably well for the USA. Who do you think will be the world leader in 50 years?

Serious question, how come milk comes in a half-gallon, but soda comes in a 2-litre?

Thanks for the insight.
Yes, yes it will.
Wouldn't deter a suicide bomber, getting splattered by some caustic stuff is probably the highlight of their day.
Wouldn't that be a perfect time for a fork?

OIL RIG FTW!
It's alright, Jesus still loves you.

"How does it feel to live forever?"
"I don't know, I haven't done it yet."
Terrible! (Seriously though, I really need to stop by the grocery store on the way home and pick up some deodorant...)

I love the smell of democracy in the morning.

Good lord, I've become a grammar nazi.
I think money is a bit like a penis. The more you talk about it, the less you have.
Well, I'm half-way through a nose-job. They've taken my old nose, and the new one doesn't get here until next week.
At first I figured you were just one of those trolls who post random stuff to unrelated stories, but then I got the joke. Nice one.
Or, if you prefer: :-O :)
At first I was like o_O
Then I was

Or motorsport. (Other that NasCAR).
Wait they're just actors? I suppose next you'll tell me that The Simpsons isn't real either!
I'm guessing the sunrise clock is aimed at people who don't wake up and go to sleep at regular hours. Shift workers in IT for example...
