We did already discuss this issue at length here I believe. I thought they had cleaned up their act. So it isn't that I don't care, quite the contrary, just that I am already well aware of the issue and have made my choices accordingly.

On edit: Here is one of the threads it was discussed in, http://ledge.fleetwoodmac.net/showth...ghlight=Saipan

I'm very late responding to this, but BR is the place where this uninspired GAY white guy goes to look like I'm making an effort.

Sad, but true.

Most? Really? As compared to whom? Anyway, that's a bold statement, and one that might be a tad over-generalized.

It might be, but I don't think it is. Compared to whom? I wasn't really comparing to anyone, just looking at our qualities in themselves.
Also, I wasn't talking about you.

But seriously, say if I took "most" to mean at least 60% of people. Roughly. I think what I said would easily apply.

America does consume a huge percentage of resources, and our society is capitalist based, very much. We think buying things is important. And so I, like Fur, think that people caring more about talking about their clothes than how those clothes got to them is a "f*cked up priority". Of the type that most Americans share. I'm not necessarily talking about this thread, BTW, before everyone leaps to defend themselves.

Of course, my statement is based on what I think f*cked up priorities are. If you don't share my view of that, then my statement holds little to no truth for you. Perhaps a much smaller percentage of Americans would have what you consider to be f*cked up priorities.
So, basically, I'm not wrong or right, it just depends on your viewpoint.
