Audi 2010 Green Car Super Bowl Commercial(Green Police)

your slow pony is polluting up this thread

I'm not sure what's funnier - the advert or all the "THAT'S WHERE THIS IS GOING, THIS IS WHAT THE LEFT WANTS" type posts.

The first is funny, the second is sadly funny.

One thing I noticed in the green police commercial was arresting (or whatever) the guy who chose plastic over paper at the supermarket checkout.

If you are worried about that sort of thing any sort of re-usable bag is clearly the best option but after that I'm pretty sure plastic is a better (maybe far better) choice than paper. Paper bags take way more energy to produce, way more energy to recycle and finally also take a ton of extra energy to transport due to the fact that they weigh so much more.

Anyway, I thought that was kind of funny.

I don't really know a lot about green stuff (and tend not to really give a crap tbh), but isn't paper better because it is usually recyclable, and isn't the big point that plastic is far more difficult to dispose of and not as biodegradable as paper?

I don't either. My post is based on information from a friend who does care a lot about that sort of thing and also works for Target (which is where the transport info came from). Yes, the biodegradable thing is why people assume paper is better. I'm saying they are wrong because you can generally recycle either and any benefits paper provides due to biodegradability are outweighed by the extra energy it takes to make, transport and recycle it.

"A Palestinian refugee camp on the edge of Jerusalem erupted in violence on Monday after Israeli police carried out a raid to arrest tax evaders and Palestinians responded by throwing stones."

Let me get this straight -- Israel expects Palestinians to pay for living under military occupation?

Palin suggest Obama could declare war with Iran to win in 2012.

Too lazy to come up with her own bad ideas.

Time to bring back an oldie.

Sarah needs to stop reading those Karl Rove ideas from the 2004 election playbook.

"The Iranian nation, with its unity and God's grace, will punch the arrogance (Western powers) on the 22nd of Bahman (February 11) in a way that will leave them stunned,"

lolllll man thats good.

Made me cringe.

LOL Rand Paul. (ok maybe LOL the stuff people say due to political necessity, but still)

A GIANT!!!!!

Clearly the best play by Rand is to piss off all the people who like Palin right? That's why Dems always tell Al Sharpton to **** off.

GMU is Austrian(though I'd note that the Rothbardians don't get along with GMU because GMU sometimes tries to do actual economics), but I strongly suspect FSU(like the vast majority of accredited universities) is mainstream economics. You just think it's "a free market" Economics department because of your exposure to this forum.

Because so few of the ACists/Austrians have actually taken a class in economics they really and honestly buy into the demonization of Marxists and Keynesians running the statist student indoctrination system(through the Federal Reserve, natch). For all they know that's what goes on. You see that, you take a regular normal econ class at a pretty standard and representative state university, and you're like "WOW MY PROFESSOR DIDN'T ADVOCATE GULAGS FOR THE KULAKS HE MUST BE BESTEST BUDDIES WITH LEW ROCKWELL".

Actual mainstream economics is incredibly pro-free market. It is willing to explore the concept of a market not producing perfect outcomes as a consequence of not being blinded by some absurd(yet easy to understand and digest) niche philosophy, but insofar as mainstream economics makes normative statements they tend to be libertarian(yet, note, they still voted for Obama. LOL educated people).

I, for example, would be way on the "classical liberal" side of any reasonable free market sympathy test. In before various ******s "LOL OMG" at that, but it's true. This ties in pretty nicely to the conversation where everyone who isn't Murray Rothbard is a socialist. The lack of perspective is nearly overwhelming.
