Worthless.  In a couple of decades I am dead and I won't care.  Why be bothered about it now?

I'm not looking down on you, dear.  Just the kid.

Yeah what a loser.  At 19 I had 100 Engineers working on a feasbility study for my ideas.

Who cares.  He's probably never been laid.

Yesterday, upon the stair,
I met a man who wasn't there
He wasn't there again today
I wish, I wish he'd go away...

Heh. Having seen a pic of the kid, I'm going to disagree with this assumption.

Serious question: is there really that much trash in the ocean?  I know there's that Pacific Garbage Patch thing, but isn't that in the part of the ocean that's basically a 'desert' and doesn't have much surface life? :hmm:

Could it be a dead area because of all the plastic particles floating there? Or was it dead before?

BTW, there was some pictures in the news recently of a big garbage patch flaoting in the pacific with a lot of the Japanese sunami trash. It looked like a lot to me.

According to wiki:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Pacific_garbage_patch
QuoteThe patch is not easily visible because it consists of very small pieces, almost invisible to the naked eye, most of its contents are suspended beneath the surface of the ocean, and the relatively low density of the plastic debris at, in one scientific study, 5.1 kilograms of plastic per square kilometer of ocean area.

Holy floating trash Batman! there is more than one garbage patch in the Pacific!

:P

BTW, thank you, interesting link, I'll read more on it while I have it.

So you admit you are holding an insincere stance?

No, I am holding an obnoxious stance.

If you are willing to relax the pose once a positive change occurs for your own person, doesn't seem sincerely held.

I really don't give a rat fuck if you think it's sincerely held or not.

It's hair. I'm not sure if men in your preferred age group still have it, so I can see where the confusion would come from. ;)
