Paradox Bain, you don't read very carefully. I said that for a long time I was unaware of all these things and unknowingly took part in all the stuff I decried. That is the point of my post genius, I eventually realized what I was doing and am trying to change, and also help others to change. I have news for you, you don't need 99% percent of the crap you consume, and certainly not at the rate with which you do so ( if you are minimalist in anyway, I apologize, but if you are like most Americans at all, then this is accurate). I am 22, great detective work; I never said the planet is dying, only that we will eventually kill most of the life on it, and although it eventually will regrow new life we will be long gone as a species, as will most others who share the planet with us now. The fact that you don't care what others think of Americans is pretty f**king stupid, that is one of the reasons we are targets for terrorists. Not that they are justified, of course, but such arrogance as that tends to engender hate, so keep it up tough guy. "By then, maybe that generation will have figured out how to save the Earth." Keep up this hope, it is a cowardly and lazy belief. What if things only get worse, and then that generation to which you refer holds this same belief, that someone in the future will clean things up? Eventually someone has to take responsibility and actually act, why not us? "Hehe, guess what? Someday, you, my friend, are going to be one of those Ameicans that you detest so." I know Einstein, that is the point of what I am saying, I am trying to change and help others to change - you don't read very carefully do you?

First, I read your post clearly. And I understand that you didn't know that you were contributing to the excesses that so many Americans take for granted. I was just like you when I was your age. My wife and I were involved in Earth Day activities every year for quite some time, and we continue to recycle. But life goes on, and other parts of life need to attention to.

About you telling me what I need. You don't know what I need. Actually, my family lives very simply considering I am raising a family of six on one income. So When I said that I buy what I need, that's exactly what I meant. I didn't say, I buy what I want. Need and want are two very different things when you are raising a family.

As far as what I think about what other people from other countries think of Americans. Let me tell you again. I DON"T GIVE A RAT'S ASS! I have a life to live, and I intend to live it the way I can afford to. I don't care how other's live in their countries, I don't think they should care how we live in our country. As I said before, I'm raising a family of six. I have enough concerns when it comes to them, then to worry about the excesses of the entire human race. Maybe Terrorists and people like them should go home and do the same thing instead of plotting on how to attack a country all in the name of jealousy. Maybe everyone should just go home, enjoy their family's and be thankful for what they do have instead of being jealous of what other's have.

If you are sooo concerned about the environment, maybe you should quit yer bitchin' and go help it.
