Mod parent up. You failed at this back when you were at "a young age". What you should have done is fake some sort learning development problem, (eg dyslexia), and saved yourself a lot of hassle.
(No, I couldn't find a link to that PA comic. Somebody else will have to do that.)
That's an interesting conclusion that you've reached.
No me, you retard, that's the way it is. You seem to think a few greens and their tame puppets in DC are responsible for most of the mess we're in, and I clued you in that maybe it was a little more attenuated than that, upon which your reply is to accuse me of being an unrealistic daydreamer?
Yeah, but we aren't allowed to exploit domestic energy supplies. The NIMBY crowd and enviro-nazi's will see to that, aided by the current political overlords in Washington.
Congrats, you just described supply and demand. Oil is cheap, so no one wants to pollute for marginal gains*. Check back in a couple of years or so, and I think you'll find the balance has changed somewhat.
Hopefully, by that point, you'll have learned how not to Godwin yourself.
*There's also a whole commentary about how smart exactly is was for the US to basically outsource everything. Cost of living is cheap, but the blowback's a bitch.
LOL. I ain't selling shit. I just like making fun of absolutes. Like your 'neural connection', for example. Would that life be actually that black and white...
Mod parent up, please. The UK plug is far from perfect, but those thick prongs never bend. Compared to the utter frustration of the Canadian/US version, which has all the physical characteristics of a paper clip, it's a big selling point for me.
And you'd still be an idiot, because you're twisting the english language to suit your theory. Even at lower than 768 you're still pingable, or "touchable".
How about a discussion on what makes a 'good' ad versus a 'bad' one? This wholesale bashing of advertising is as ridiculous and time-wasting as generalizing on any topic. I figure that if you poked even the most loudly proclaiming ad-hater hard enough, you'd find there's actually a couple of ads they've seen recently that were either funny, interesting or just plain artful.

What rock did you just crawl out from under?

The one where
"We'll denote our bomb before you activate yours"? No power to terrorists!
Only symbolically, of course.
Senior or Junior?
So under your economic reality

Employing Americans and keeping money at home instead of sending it to countries that finance extremism is a "marginal gain"?
At current oil prices, yes.
Also, apologies for the Godwin crack. I just love poking people when they get all huffy. "Enviro-nazis"! SNORT!
You're not a nazi, are you?
Actually, I am. Bastards get results.
meaningful rebuttal
Yes, let's ignore everything I said except the bit about Godwin.

At least with the private monopoly they don't have access to my wallet or paycheck.

Looks like I picked the wrong week to deactivate my FB account.
Way to sell your product bud.

It means a government-induced monopoly.
Are you even paying attention to what we're talking about? Go away and leave the grownups alone, son.
strictly-regulates
I don't think that means what you think it means.
This time, the govt will just seize the corporation and take over. All in the name of national security and importance to the economy or whatever.
As a leftard, I WISH! Seriously, you teabaggers need to stop prickteasing me with all this socialism that's supposed to happen, but doesn't.

Sigh. You kids today, unawares of your history.
Yah, this sort of behavior should be called the Tarkin Effect, not the streisandeffect as currently tagged.
I think the Catholic church might claim prior art.

This is Slashdot. Exactly what were you expecting?
I wasn't. Hence the comment. If it gets just one poster here to realize that he/she is demographically insignificant, then I have done good work.
