I'm going with this comment being worse if you actually believe that.

love how the environmentalist types preach about things like using paper plates and plastic straws, all of which is negligible in the grand scheme of things, BUT they are also typically leftists and leftists these days love globalism, which includes shipping raw material to China, manufacturing in China with little to no environmental regulations, then shipping the finished product to the US.

The left used to be against Globalism because of how environmentally devastating it is (see the 1999 Seattle WTO protests)....what happened to their principles?



Anyone who preaches about climate change / carbon emissions and isn't supportive of nuclear is a non-starter for me. And that seems to be quite a lot of them.

The plastic in the oceans is a real problem IMO - but I see that as almost more of a dumping issue.

Let the hate flow. I'm sure you hate Trump too for his "hateful" rhetoric, yet even Trump would never say some of the vitriolic things you spew on here.


Did you see the post about toxic chemicals released when heated? You heated a lot of left overs on plastic plates over the years didn't you? That or you're obviously trolling.

Changing our way of life completely just simply won’t do. We must allow for exorbitant taxation to spread unchecked.

It’s the only way we can fix this crisis!

We go with paper plates and metal forks. Balance is the essence of happiness.

Usually their trailers don’t have enough cabinetry to store the disposables.

This appears to be the consensus from this thread. Washing utensils isn't that bad anyways, so perhaps I'll stick with normal utensils but convince the wife to go with paper plates. Maybe make a separate trash can for paper and just add that to the burn pile instead of going to the landfill.

The laziness and lack of caring about our environment is really astounding. Especially if you have kids, you should want to leave the world/planet in a better place for future generations. Part of this is teaching and leading our kids by example.

I just saw this.

First off, three time regional champions. Would have won more if the team from California didn’t cheat with those 20 year old Mexicans one can only assume were here illegally.

Secondly, the concept of time itself is a construct created by the patriarchy and I do not believe in it.

So you're using the same amount of water as if you just washed plates as well... Maybe you hand wash them...but then it's not a time saver. frick all that, plates, cups, utensils and whatever into the dishwasher and done with it...takes 5 minutes to load at most, and another 5 to unload some other time

Did you expect less? That was me being super reserved, I'll go full on dramatics for you next time - as I continue telling you how to raise your kids according to trash burning mountain man.

I didn’t know you were on your period. You and Slagathor must have synced up.

A. The inexplicable bitchiness comes BEFORE the menstruation, hence the P in PMS.

2. I never said anything bitchy. You're just sensitive.

3. It would be a GD honor to be synced up with PB (no lesbo).
