Lurker, have you ever been to Holland? No fat people first of all and they are very happy. They have developed methods to use everything, no waste. As a Dutchman I have to disagree with you. Plenty of fat people and kids are getting fatter. Waste dumps and incinerators aplenty. Happy? Lots of the t...

Ok

That might be good advice for Americans, as a Dutchman I'd better not do so....

All of western Yurp, Scandinavia, Australia, New Zealand, to name a few.

I think that the sentimental attribution of super ecological harmony to tribal americans is potentially dangerous. Potentially wrong, yes. But dangerous? In what way? until you convince 5.666 billion people to stop reproducing for a generation, the world as we know it is gone. I have a family in my...

NYC/Washington/Minneapolis, whatever happens to be my stopover.
The distance is roughly the same I guess.
I live 20km North of A'dam.

Fuck mileage, long live the metric system. Roughly, it's like this: Train to Amsterdam - 200 km. Plane to NYC - 5870 km. Plane to SF - 4148 km. Car to BM - 520 km. Hmmm... Quite a ride, actually. :twisted: Except for the train to Amsterdam part, which is 20 km for me, pretty much the same! :D

At least you have that option in Amsterdam. Too dangerous to use a bike all the time here and too spread out too. We only have a pretense of public transit here and no trains. Do many people use pedalecs in Amsterdam? I had to google "pedalec"! There's some electric bikes around, not as many as you...

Right now a gallon of gas is about $7 in my area, I doubt it will take as long as 2012 for it to reach $10.
Most of that money is tax, not the actual cost.
I ride a bicycle.

I have a hard time seeing how you could get worked up over a heini.

It's the closest brewery to where I live and I'm a spelling nazi at times.
The exported crap is not the real deal.
Can't say I really like Heineken though, I prefer Hertog Jan.

You BELIEVE, which is far from KNOWING.

The whole "I'm better than you because I believe..." thing is one of the main reasons me and religious people don't go well together.

Keep your damn religion to yourself!

A couple of months ago I saw a BM video on youtube. I remember liking the song used for it although I only remember the line "let me take you to Burningman", the singer sounding like Les Claypool. I can't find the video anymore, nor any BM song by Primus/Les Claypool. I'd so fucking love to have an ...

First I'll have to admit watching the cartoon "Jimmy Neutron"...

In one episode the father goes to the "Burning Duck" festival in the desert, his look is close to shirtcocker except for the speedo IIRC.
