Asmodai said:Yeah, second thread in one day, but this has been pissing me off for a while. I'm going to wring the neck of the next person who complains about gas prices being 'much too high'.
Gasoline, actually, is one of the cheapest liquids you can buy. Think about it. A gallon of water at the grocery store? Fove or six bucks, compared to the 'outrageous' $2 you spend per gallon of gas. You can get a gallon of straight, black, unflavored coffee at starbucks for $12.88. Any shmuck can make coffee, and besides, it's a renewable resource. You get some water, beans from a plant that you can just plant more of, and voila, you have coffee.
And yet it costs less than ONE SIXTH of that to get the same amount of oily black sludge that rich arab bastards are hauling up out of the deserts, and we're GOING TO RUN OUT very soon at the rate we're going. This brings up more problems for the rich arab bastards, but I won't go into that now... the point is we're paying a SCANDALOUSLY low price for a very rare resource.
I say everyone starts paying an arm and a leg for the stuff like the europeans are. It'd put us in perspective, and maybe motivate us to find something else to power our cars with.
And THEN, assholes, you can complain about gas prices.
Asmodai said:I don't have a car, and don't want one - at least not for a while. I really don't think people my age should be driving - I know I'M a clumsy ****, and so are most of the people I know. I also don't want to have to take part in this bullshit gas fiasco, largely for the reasons I mentioned. Believe it or not, even a few 16 year olds think about things. If I can't find an alternate, economically sound form of transportation, I didn't need to go there that badly in the first place..
Asmodai said:Maybe it's different here in crazy old CA, but I have definitely seen gallons of 'purified' water for upwards of 5 bucks
Wow, I feel like SD here, everyone calling me an idiot. Amazing, though, how no one at all saw my point. Gas should be more expensive BECAUSE everyone needs it. If we all could take our heads out of our asses long enough to think about global economy rather than our own pocketbooks, it would be obvious that finding a new source of fuel is absolutely necessary. It should be more expensive because there's so little of it left, and not being able to afford fossil fuels would force people to find a more permanent source of power.
