[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Everyone on DCUM hates Suburbans because they're bad for the environment.  Everybody on DCUM lives in a 3500+ square foot home.  Baffling in your selective concern for the environment.[/quote]

You are so clueless.[/quote]

No, actually that's pretty spot-on.

This place is overflowing with pathetic strivers who spend their lives telling others how their SUV is killing the planet, while living in a house big enough for a family of 12. [/quote]

Really? I think that there's probably a big overlap between people who live in really big houses and people who drive really big vehicles. Especially on DCUM.[/quote]

Yup.

We live in a rowhouse that is pretty cheap to heat and do just fine schlepping our over programmed kids around in our 12 year old car that still gets great gas mileage though we only put about 5000 miles a year on it since we take public transportation to work so the mileage isn't even that important.

My BIL drives a $50000 vanity pick-up truck that he puts 30,000 miles a year on and probably spends more on gas a month than we spend in a year and probably spends more time in his truck in a month than we spend in our car all year.

The fun thing is that one of the reasons he spends so much time in his truck is the road to his suburban development outside Annapolis now floods several times a month at high tide because of rising sea levels and he routinely has to wait for the waters to recede to drive home, all the while running his engine and adding more carbon to the atmosphere.

But freedom.  Or something.[/quote]

That's so strange. Because I live on the bay, in a house we've been in for 19 years, and the water level where I live in Shady Side hasn't changed at all the whole time we've lived here. High tide now is in exactly the same spot on the dock pilings as when we moved here.

Pretty weird how sea level is said to rising in some spots but clearly isn't in others, huh?

Someone better tell the ocean it's making the global warming folks look like liars. [/quote]
