May 19th : "Stick it up their butt" day

[S4ur0n27]

Yea, I don't give a shit what you think, I just felt like passing on the message so I can feel less guilty.





Don't buy gas on May 19th, 2004 -- YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!


IT HAS BEEN CALCULATED THAT IF EVERYONE IN CANADA AND THE USA DID NOT
PURCHASE A DROP OF GASOLINE FOR ONE DAY AND ALL AT THE SAME TIME, THE OIL
COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.

THEREFORE MAY 19TH HAS BEEN FORMALLY DECLARED "STICK IT UP THEIR BUTT"
DAY AND THE PEOPLE OF THESE NATIONS SHOULD NOT BUY A SINGLE DROP OF GASOLINE
THAT DAY.

THE ONLY WAY THIS CAN BE DONE IS IF YOU FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO AS MANY
PEOPLE AS YOU CAN AND AS QUICKLY AS YOU CAN TO GET THE WORD OUT.

WAITING ON THIS ADMINISTRATION TO STEP IN AND CONTROL THE PRICES IS
NOT GOING TO HAPPEN. WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REDUCTION AND CONTROL IN PRICES
THAT THE ARAB NATIONS PROMISED TWO WEEKS AGO?

REMEMBER ONE THING, NOT ONLY IS THE PRICE OF GASOLINE GOING UP BUT AT
THE SAME TIME AIRLINES ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES, TRUCKING COMPANIES
ARE FORCED TO RAISE THEIR PRICES WHICH EFFECTS PRICES ON EVERYTHING THAT IS
SHIPPED. THINGS LIKE FOOD, CLOTHING, BUILDING MATERIALS, MEDICAL SUPPLIES
ETC. WHO PAYS IN THE END? WE DO!

WE CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE. IF THEY DON'T GET THE MESSAGE AFTER ONE DAY,
WE WILL DO IT AGAIN AND AGAIN.

SO DO YOUR PART AND SPREAD THE WORD. FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO EVERYONE
YOU KNOW. MARK YOUR CALENDARS AND MAKE MAY 19TH A DAY THAT THE CITIZENS OF
CANADA & THE USA SAY "ENOUGH IS ENOUGH"

I don't buy gas anyway?

We might as well use up all the gas while we still can, though, if we're trying to stick it to the man. That means the oil corps will just have to scramble faster to introduce new means of transportation before all the black sticky stuff dries up? I mean, it's not like you can prevent it from getting used, you douchebags.

[jetbaby]

Won't happen, won't matter. By not filling your tank a day, just means that if you drove at all you'll need that much more the next day. If you don't drive you can't go anywhere, like jobs and those sorts of things.

I'm with atoga for "sticking it to the man." It'll all get used eventually, so by using it up <i>faster</i> we are doing more harm. SUCK EM DRY, BOYS.

[SuperH]

THE OIL
COMPANIES WOULD CHOKE ON THEIR STOCKPILES.

They keep them in their mouthes? Who knew?

[POOPERSCOOPER]

Ya, it would just cause people get gas before or after 5/19 to make up for that day. We really have no control over the gas companies, unless everyone buy alternative cars which are expensive. We just have to wait for the companies to change, were getting close so might as well wait a bit longer.

There's the spirit! Oh, and recycling shit is bad (except maybe aluminum and paper).

[jetbaby]

Sounds good, but that was me. I'll get on the unrecycling soon. I have to turn on all the gas pumps at the local station and run away first.

[CloudNineGT]

Eh, I wont buy any gas even if it wont happen. At least I did my part or something?

Throw your trash in the grass!

Try to convince a gas station to stop buying gas.... won't work and they are the largest purchasers of it.

AT THE SAME TIME IT WOULD HIT THE ENTIRE INDUSTRY WITH A NET LOSS OF
OVER 4.6 BILLION DOLLARS WHICH AFFECTS THE BOTTOM LINES OF THE OIL
COMPANIES.

And crashes the world's economy and fucks up our entire lives signifigantly. Bitch.

...Ummm... go ahead and have your strike then.... I personally think that I am willing to pay up to $6 for a gallon honestly...

[S4ur0n27]

This message isn't for gas stations, it's for people with cars.

I seriously doubt oil companies crashing would fuck anyone's life, except these companies' owners or something.

And if your willing to pay 80$ to fill your car, you're really a douchebag.

[Jimmyjay86]

Eh, this stupid email has made the rounds for the past several years and what difference did it make? Compared to the last several years the gas prices have gone up all because of this email!

[atoga]

Sounds good, but that was me.

Oh, sorry. I think of you and CloudNine as the same person. You both say the same stuff, anyway.

And crashes the world's economy and fucks up our entire lives signifigantly. Bitch.

Haha, yeah, right.

Cars are dumb anyway, we should just invest billions of dollars in public transportation and subway or bike everywhere. Car culture has also led to ugly, sprawling cities and plenty of rednecks. Case closed.

if thats sarcasm, good. i could blame starving black babies in africa for the cause of sprawling cities.

if it isnt, apparently you havent travelled on public transportation. buses and subways are full of the degenerates of society and biking across a good sized city to work is just stupid.

[atoga]

That's why I said spend billions of dollars on it. Public transport is pretty decent, and I use it regularly - maybe three or four times a day - because it leads to everywhere worth going and it's cheap. (The subway is usually a lot better than rush hour traffic, though the bus is pretty slow and shitty.) Also, biking is also pretty easy. I've routinely biked in rush hour traffic downtown and it's really no problem. You can also look at cities in China (Beijing is a good example?), where virtually everybody rides a bike around the city and using cars is unheard of.

And how are you saying that car culture isn't responsible for urban sprawl? Urban sprawl CANNOT EXIST without the automobile.

see you are still young though. lets say you become a corporate CEO of a huge company. you still going to ride your bike through town?

silly me, i always thought urban sprawl was due to company expansion. the drawing out of jobs from the intercity, forcing people to move closer to the company to work, slowly drawing smaller businesses out of a centeralized community making the city larger and the intercity ub3r shit ghettos.

That's a direct result of car culture, but saying urban sprawl is the result of that is ridiculous. Let me say it again: urban sprawl subsides on cars; without them it couldn't exist because other forms of transportation inconvenient. Corporate expansion creates new cities and neighbourhoods, sure, but not urban sprawl.

[Nicolai]

What about the people who doesn't have a car/MC then?

[S4ur0n27]

How did Nicolai become a Moderator? And atoga too? Damn me.

I must admit I hate public transportation, everyone's smells melt and it becomes one big smell of shit. I hate people too, you have to get out, but this fat bitch is blocking the way and she can't seem to hear you shouting at her to move.

Or these assholes leaning on the bars, so you can't hold yourself.

Or all the youngsters with mega huge backpacks blocking the whole bus, then you push one of em and he looks surprised/insulted : I mean, MOVE THE FUCK! or take your backpack off your back.

I still use it everyday because driving at 8am and 5pm is a pain.
