Well, I know you have tap water. I am shocked, tho, that it isnt safe to drink. I really cant imagine drinking bottled water every day. IDK, maybe its just a habbit - beer, coke, juice, milk ect. come from bottles or cartons - but water comes from the plumming. IDK, but I wouldnt have it your way, no thanks.
Oh, and I also know that you werent kidding about the princess stuff. Young I may be, but I know how the machine we call "woman" functions.
As for public transport, the math is simple really. If I was to buy a car, I would have to spend at least 2 to 3 thousand € just for the car (used car, at least 10 years old, probably French or Italian). Plus some 500€ on registration, and a fortune on gas (which is almost twice as expensive here than at your end). On the other hand, the bus pass costs me 17€ per month. What am I going to choose? And I dont even have to drive the damn thing.
Recycling... Well, it is a good idea. But I guess were just not used to it. There is always the potential fine-if-I-get-caught-not-recycling thingy to consider. Unlikely, but possible.

Yes, we have tap water. The Princess will not drink it! (And you thought I was kidding about that "princess" stuff!! HA!!) She expects bottled water in the 'fridge at all times. If there are but two or three remaining, I am sent to the store immediately. NO excuses. Quite frankly, the morons that run this city are barely capable of taking a crap on their own, much less seeing to it that my water is safe. I will go with the bottles, thank you.
I agree with the previous post about mass transit. I am not interested so long as I can afford my own car. Period. I have no problem using it when I am somewhere on vacation. It is quaint and I like to "people watch". It is actually fun. Cable cars in 'Frisco, subway in New York. Horse-drawn carriage in Toronto. But as far as my day to day life, I choose to drive.
Recycling is not a bad idea. I just do not take the time to do it. By nature, I am rather lazy and simply do not care that much. Terribly rude, I know but as you mentioned, I am being honest. And I am serious about the people that pick through my refuse. They do a much better job than I would.

Anyway... I dont know what the quality of tap water is over there, but wouldnt it be cheaper and more practical just to use tap water?
As for the recycling part, I actualy agree. Its fucking reccesion! People get fired on a daily basis! What better way to create some new jobs, than by employing a couple of them to sort out the garbage?

And as far as I can see, that print might be my daughter's! Mine is MUCH bigger and , if I have anything to say about it, it will get much, MUCH larger before I am gone!!!
I go through at least a case and a half of bottled water a week, I throw ALL my garbage in the same friggin ' can, I use my washer and dryer whenever I damn well please and I drive my car from the front door to the friggin' mailbox!!!!! HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Save the earth...pphhhhhhhfffffftt! Yeah, yeah. Peace and love and pass me a "doobie", man.
There are enough people going through my garbage to make certain that it gets properly seperated. I am too freakin OLD to try to string a clothesline and, in all honesty, I happen to like to get from place to place in my car. That is why I bought the damn thing. You guys do the "earth saving", OK? I truly do not plan to live long enough to reap it's benefits anyway.......BWWWAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!! |
