Have you *ever* done *anything* that didn't maximize society's wellbeing?

[ChairOne]

Let's just get it all out in the open now, and never discuss it again... Sheesh.

[LisaLynne]

1. I bought a Celine Dion CD once. nt

[ThoughtCriminal]

2. I bought gasoline (nt)

[Salviati]

3. I once converted some ATP's to ADP's merely to exist

and not in the glorious service of humanity...

[ChairOne]

4. crap - I have no idea what those are... lol /eom

[jpgray]

6. Your indolent biochemistry cannot and will not be tolerated (nt)

[sui generis]

8. adenosine triphosphate this!

and have some tricarboxylic acid for good measure.

Hell, go for broke, get a rush from nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide and flavin adenine dinucleotide, it tastes just like chicken.

[sui generis]

5. yes and I'll do it again if you don't quit asking!

:evilgrin:

[ChairOne]

16. dude! That was soooo sui generis! /eom

[wuushew]

7. I put a soda bottle in the trashcan instead of recycle bin

I felt guilty but I was in hurry and not in the mood to fish it out

[bloom]

9. So because people do things

that are not the best for society - we shouldn't look for ways to live better?





I'm assuming there was a flame war and I missed it.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

10. yes. the suburbanites are tortured on du, thread

[ChairOne]

14. and a few others, but yah.... /eom

[Walt Starr]

17. Yeah, some people take PC to the EXTREME!

:eyes:

So long as you don't eat, don't drive, and live in a cardboard box everything is going to be okay, though.

11. Last summer

I purchased a convenient spray bottle of "Round-Up", a kind of weed killer that's an abomination to all that's holy and decent, and when the neighbors weren't looking I snuck out into my back yard and sprayed the shit out of this rampaging viney thing that was spreading all over and killing everything in one of my flower beds.

Then I hid the bottle in a pile of rubble in my garage.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

12. i have cats

they are not environmentally friendly

[K-W]

13. I have SOOOOOO much more than I deserve.

I have done so little work in my life, and I have an expensive education and lots of material things.

I realize that I am in debt to the rest of humanity because of this and I plan on repaying it.

[Walt Starr]

15. I moved to the suburbs

but that's actually good for the well being of society, IMO.

[wuushew]

20. How?

Suburbia can only be justified from a personal financial perspective since the cost of transportation is less than that of the land and tax costs you would incur living closer to an urban center. Even though you use mass transit there still is an energy cost as well as other costs to society that you have externalized. Suburbs are a poor use of land and are also a breeding ground for republicanism.

[Inland]

18. The DU Lounge. So sue me.

[Walt Starr]

19. Do you realize how much energy DU is wasting right now?

The electricity to run all of the servers, the modems, the routers, the workstations of all the DUers!

How can we be so insensitive and cruel to our environment????

/sarcasm

21. Locking.

This is the continuation of a flame war in a different thread.
