    Surely this applies to everything? Republicans, Democrats, Christians, Muslims etc. You can't write off an entire movement (especially one that is actually worth following i.e. saving the planet and not poisoning our atmosphere) just because of a few nuts. I hate Greenpeace as much as the next guy but I don't think we should write off environmentalism just because Greenpeace is full of cunts.

    I didn't even know we could GET this kind of light bulb. Not seen anything about them around in old Englandia. I will say though, I have energy saving ones in my room and the light is irritatingly dim. Although I do like the fact that they take a bit of time to get bright, so if you put the light on in the middle of the night you don't go blind, lol.

    Ah Roy, are you one of those "global warming isn't happening!!" people, then? Heald's right, everything has "cult-like" types. It's wrong to ignore the environment just because you don't like what the activists do. The extremists give everyone a bad name, just like with everything else.

    Although I would suggest NOT investing in Atmos for your cars, people. The Sontarans will attack!! *looks around in paranoia*

    EDIT: I am already prone to migraines though, so I'm slightly worried about what those lights will do to me.


    this is hell
    we have a little something called integrity

    Oh no dont get me wrong, I believe Global Warming is happening, there is no doubt the Earth is getting warmer. It is the belief that Humans are to blame that I am skeptical about, especially since there is so many unknowns and so much evidence going both ways.
