Do you ever have any meat eating guilt?
Fuck no. I have "eating" guilt, because I'm fat, but not anything meat specific.

One time yes, I cracked my back on a chair and one hell of a sharp pain got stuck in my left middleish back, dunno what it was. It hurt for a few days.

I guess I thought that using a reusable bottle was as common as recycling at this point, but as I watched dozens of people roll out of Target with discounted cases of bottled water this past weekend, I discovered that clearly the message has not reached everyone.
Did you know that, every year, the oil used to produce plastic water bottles in the U.S. alone is enough to fuel about 1,000,000 cars?
The more we squander what little accessible oil we have left on this planet on really stupid things like single-use plastic bottles, the more we have to procure from other countries and dangerously and expensively drill out of pristine ecosystems.
Given all the war, corruption and environmental devastation caused around the world by the U.S. demand for oil, this is neither politically nor environmentally sustainable. I mean, would you go to war to procure the resources to keep making plastic water bottles? (Oh yeah, we already did.)
Anything we can do to quickly and permanently phase out disposable plastic bottles would help improve our relationship with the people living in oil and gas-rich nations, reduce economic waste at home, and ease the burden that extracting fossil fuels places on communities and ecosystems worldwide.
Plastic beverage bottles are made from PET (Polyethylene Terephthalate) polymer. According to the EPA, toxic pollutants, including styrene, butadiene and methanol are released into the air during its production-for all of us to inhale. And air pollution is an ongoing by-product of plastic bottles as they are made, filled, packaged and transported to consumers. According to the National Resources Defense Council: In 2006, the equivalent of 2 billion half-liter bottles of water were shipped to U.S. ports, creating thousands of tons of global warming pollution and other air pollution. In New York City alone, the transportation of bottled water from western Europe released an estimated 3,800 tons of global warming pollution into the atmosphere. In California, 18 million gallons of bottled water were shipped in from Fiji in 2006, producing about 2,500 tons of global warming pollution.
From creation to disposal, these bottles contribute to air pollution. And many of the chemicals that go into their production continue to leach out into the air and into the water they hold. If the threat to our security and natural resources weren't enough, there is also overwhelming evidence of adverse health effects tied to Bisphenol A, or BPA, including reproductive problems, infertility and cancer.
BPA is a widely-used chemical in the manufacturing of food and beverage containers, including baby bottles, plastic beverage bottles and aluminum cans. BPA is even absorbed into your skin from your dental sealants, toothbrush bristles and the receipt paper you get at the grocery store!
Many countries and a handful of U.S. states have strongly regulated or banned the use of BPA, but corporate lobbyists are spending billions influencing government regulatory authorities, so-absent public pressure-there's no incentive to ban it here.yet. For now, a reusable bottle is the only way to hydrate on the go while protecting yourself and the environment from this dangerous chemical.
While plastic beverage bottles are recyclable, over 90% of them end up in landfills. In fact plastic food and beverage containers are the second most common item found in landfills, after newspapers-which are also recyclable. Like all plastic, disposable bottles will be with us forever since plastic does not biodegrade. Rather, plastic breaks down into smaller and smaller toxic bits that contaminate our soil and waterways and ultimately end up in the ever-growing Great Pacific Garbage Patch-the world's largest floating landfill, twice the size of Texas.
Next to plastic bags, plastic bottles are the most prevalent (and unsightly) source of pollution found on our beaches and shores. Each year, over 500 billion disposable bottles and cups end up littering our soil, rivers, lakes and oceans, killing countless fish and animals. The sad image above is becoming all-too-common at lakes, rivers and beaches across the U.S.
There are many types of reusable bottles to choose from, and it can be hard to know which are safe and do not leach toxins into your beverage. A recent study published in the Environmental Health Perspective Journal tested baby bottles, water bottles and other products advertised as BPA-Free, and found that, while indeed BPA-free, they all released other toxic, hormone-affecting chemicals. In fact, some BPA-free plastic containers tested higher for harmful chemicals than the "regular" ones with BPA!" BPA-Free" is no guarantee that your reusable bottle isn't leaching toxic, hormone-disrupting chemicals into your beverage. The safest and most eco-friendly reusable bottles are made from glass or stainless steel. Both glass and steel bottles are made in lots of fun colors and designs, and some are thermal, allowing you to keep hot beverages hot and cold ones cold. Choose one (or two) you like, and carry it with you so you always have it on hand at home, work, the gym, or on the town. That way, you'll never have to risk your health or the health of the planet by buying beverages in plastic bottles again!
Will the U.S. government sort its shit out, form a corrupted corporate world government, or will revolution overthrow its corruption and replace it with a better form of government.

From those options, I'd go with revolution. Though, I think it'll look more like a total collapse and an invasion by another country.
Oh and BTW every "reusable" bottle I've tried make the water taste bad, and the plastic bottles are totally reuseable. Don't be like the dicks who took away my paper sacks at the grocery store.
What is your most overused phrase?

Hoss that probably means the bottles had BPA in them
Worse experience with drugs and or alcohol huh. Thats a tough one, most regrettable would have to be get shit hammered with a friend of mine and deciding it was a good idea to walk back to his girlfriends place with them and her latina stripper girlfriend that may or may not have had sharpie eye brows. On the way we see some guys pushing each other, so being the shit hammered assholes we were (and right out of the military so we still thought we were made of steel, especially compared to nasty disgusting civilians) we ran right up to see what was going on. The two guys suckered us. My buddy was a boxer (and not as drunk as me) so he immediately introduced the guys teeth to the back of his throat (got one lodged in his hand too was pretty foul), I got a rear naked on the guy that hit me was too drunk to realize he was still very much awake, so i stood up started to look around trying to figure out wtf had just happened and old boy knocked me down and started kicking me in the face. This went on for about 25 seconds (i guess idk i was hammered and getting kicked in the face) till the cops showed up. We all ended up walking away, no charges pressed, and nothing actually hurt except my face, and my head when i woke up with unintelligible flashes of the stripper pouring tequila into my face from my lap and seeing that i was in some creepy little house full of cats. Took me a couple hours to find my truck the next day. Had a gnarly shiner for the next few weeks. Funny enough was delivering pizza downtown at the time while in school and people tipped like crazy, guessing they all thought I got robbed. All in all could have gone much much worse, but was enough of a shitty time for me to chill the fuck out. At least till i got so drunk in Myrtle that I tried to take a bike cops bicycle away from him on the strip.
Should lawlhay take his hippy conspiracy bullshit out of screenshots ? Also whats the closest a prank you've pulled ever gone to going really really badly, and if not the funniest prank you've ever pulled

In college we forged emails to a buddy from his online trading company saying he was being investigated for insider trying (yeah like they're going to email you first). He came running into the dorm screaming and crying, his life is over, he doesn't know what to do, etc. I could see people about to lose it, so I'm about to "April Fools" or whatever, and he goes "I have to get to the private airport". I'm thinking "Is he going to skip the country, the fuck?".
Nope, his dad turns out was a high priced lawyer from Cali and had just landed in a private jet with half of his staff to defend his son. Our stomachs dropped into our feet, we had to come clean, and we did. He calmly called his dad and explained the situation, his dad decided to take a cab to the dorms. Our buddy then detonated on for 10 minutes, and we took it because we knew we deserved it. Then his dad got there and went nuclear for two fucking hours, and we took that as well. Buddy didn't talk to us for months, but finally came around, but he never got to that "looking back it's funny" phase. Still regret that shit.

Don't feel bad, that's an awesome prank with an awesome outcome.
Most complicated meal I've ever made was an entire pasta dinner from scratch (i.e making dough and rolling each noodle by hand for lack of technology to help). Tasted amazing, though.

Was doing an internship for a local newspaper. They wanted me to write a smear article over a previous employer, which I would never do. The guy in charge (editor) was attacking the previous bosses religious beliefs. He's Catholic, previous boss is southern baptist and I was raised church of Christ. After listening him talk down to me in the board room with a dozen people listening for half an hour I finally snap and do the cliche joke, "You should find a fellow Catholic or a First Baptist to write the article so at least you'll have someone on your side. Personally I think you're all going to hell so you should really move on from this." Most of the people in the room know I'm fucking around at this point. I never take religion that seriously. This guy gets maybe 3 inches from my nose yelling crazy shit and I reflex jab him in the throat. Oops. I catch him and make sure he's breathing ok. I'm escorted from the building and fired, but they pay me $2,000 in hush money.
Few years later the guy was fired for sexual harassment and his replacement tried to bring me back. They still tell that story around the water cooler evidently.
