Plus they want to virtue signal what good people they are and they are nuts. Also they take vicious delight in spoiling other people's enjoyment in eating out by forcing them to suck on paper straws that spoil the taste of the drink. |
| TinfoilHatMan (OP) User ID: 77060306 United States04/01/2019 11:52 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Has anyone tried to rationalize this insanity to someone who supports it though? What are their arguments for it? It's indefensible given the infinite other opportunities to not only make real impacting difference but to do so without negatively impacting 1st world creature comforts. |

| MaybeTrollingUAgain User ID: 75358302  Brazil04/01/2019 12:16 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Ok, I know this lunacy has been going around but lately it's effecting me and now I'm annoyed. Restaurants are not giving them up and last month I was at a theme park where, in addition to either not giving plastic straws or using paper straws, they have stopped giving plastic LIDS for soda cups!! Quoting: TinfoilHatMan The few people I've talked to about this who support it claim "our oceans are full of plastic! This is for the environment!" Ok, I live in the United States and all trash generated by this country most CERTAINLY does NOT end up in the oceans. WTF is wrong with people?! MY cousin supports this insanity but works in a hospital. The amount of plastic waste in ONE DAY at her hospital must dwarf daily straw usage nationwide... But crickets about saving the planet with using or wasting less of that plastic. What other arguments are people hearing to support this idiocy? There was a heartwarming video of a turtle with a straw stuck deep inside its nose. This made snowflakes sad and angry. In their puny little minds, straws are a huge problem and apparently the only problem. So get rid of straws and boom, we are in paradise. MaybeTrollingUAgain |

Yup... they live in a 5 inch world, the compendium of all knowledge in mankind, literally in the palm of their hands, but their world is about working in a job they don't like, to buy things they don't need, to impress friends they don't care about and lie to themselves that they are living a life they are not. Its an inception of illusions. This is why they want to make something relevant, but neglect to understand that they are not relevant and will never be. Anyone that cares about what others will think about themselves, is not worthy to be taken seriously. MaybeTrollingUAgain |

I'm all for taking care of our environment, but this Libtard "movement" is just as ridiculous as all of their others. Libtards only care about the "Feelz" not if it actually accomplishes anything. |
