Do It Yourself Recycling
Cate Blanchett is going to love this one — a device that lets you tread lightly on the earth by drinking your own urine:



It will even work with your pets' pee, once you figure out how to get them to use it.
On a tip from Air2air.

Here's what I don't get. Doesn't water evaporate, then come down as rainfall, then evaporate and then come down as rainfall again? I mean, there is no long-term depletion of water on earth, it's not like we're slowly losing our water. Wouldn't USING the water put it out in the open so it evaporates and then rains down more quickly, for re-use?

It will never work. The 'activated carbon' which is used to purify the PP is made from..... wait for it...COAL. And the mulatto mendacity has already promised to bankrupt anyone using coal. The real secret to saving water is to stop bottling it for the damn greenies.

Mega, the beauty of this natural system is it also removes salt from seawater, that vast blue-green thing many moonbats live near and covers over 70% of the planet at an average depth of 2 miles.

In a pinch something like that might be useful - like if you are hiking thru a desert or the South Pole. But its certainly not something people mess with on a routine basis since one can imagine all sort of things that could go wrong. Then again, if it did, you could just sue the manufacturer - its the new American Way!

To really push the envelope:
For moonbats to get really excited it would have to work on blood not just urine. Need to put a flow centrifuge in it to spin out the cells. Pass some kind of law that a corpse could not be buried with its fluids--of course embalmers already take care of that.

Anonymous you know quite well this is not a political blog. It is a satire blog. But actually, sometimes you can't tell the difference given who is the subject matter.
It IS a "tough issue" when our educational institutions have so twisted our youth that there is an actual market for products like this, after thousands of years of human civilization.
Posted by: Air2air at May 7, 2009 12:43 PM
There are plenty of idiotic items for sale out there. I don't know that they are "liberal" products. Besides, as the great endorsers of the free market, if people want to buy it, great! If they don't then the sense of the market will prevail.
And really, we're both part right about this site. Its a political satire blog. The sarcasm is coming through loud and clear, but the politics I'm failing to see.

Your failures are not my problem.
While we obviously support the free market, we also obviously support free speech (e.g. ridiculing people who think of idiotic products like this). I don't see anyone here screaming that the producers of this pee-converter should be forced to stop production. I have faith that the free market will make that statement for me...

It's not that we think that LIBERALS might have made/endorsed stuff like this, it's simply the fact that such crap EXISTS that makes us want to point and say "Holy crap! Can you believe THAT?"

I understand, out in Frisco, the funnyboys pay people big $$$ to pee on 'em. Golden Showers they call it.
Well, if any of you sissyboys feel a need to be peed on while your away from home just drop by, nothing I & Missy (she's my wolfhound) would rather do than piss on a herd of liberal faggots.

Mega,
There is something caled the hydrologic cycle that consists of precipitation, percolation, transpiration and evaporation. The rain comes down, soaks into the soil, plants drink it up and it goes into various bodies of water as well, the leaves of the plant give off water and evaporation pulls it back into the atmosphere where the cycle starts all over again. There is the same amount of water on earth today as when Cleopatra was bathing in it.

This invention deserves to make a big splash, and earn him showers of adulation. I hope he gets more than a trickle of buyers. This product presents a golden opportunity for us humans to stop the torrent of destruction we are unleashing all over mother Gaia, in midstream. We have already shaken and squeezed out almost the last drops of the earth's pools of resources already. And if you rightwing p!ssants can't understand that, well you can just p!ss off.

I'll add it to my leftover pile of survival gear for Y2K. Good luck getting the Mrs. to take the first swig though.
I wondered what kind of response this would get. I don't advocate everyday use but when the moonbats cut off the water supply to save some endangered smelt in the mountains or the Mexican mafia decide they want to get all Red Dawn on your ass you might wish you had the pee egg. Until then, lock it up in a safe place next to your 3 year supply of MREs.

Am I the only one that finds the term "faggots" offensive? I don't think that's appropriate at all. Not only can it be considered a "trial/fine/jail worthy Hate Speech" but it also is just plain rude. Sorry, I think another less hateful word could have been used. (IMHO)

"I just think if you resort to hateful (not in fun) name calling...it doesn't make a point and it's like your right there in the mud with the Moonbats...I guess I am the only one that feels that way..."
I'm with you on that, Heather.
Although Moonbats like to throw up a smokescreen about wanting "Civil Discourse", "Logic", "Reasoned Debate", etc., what it always comes down to with them is the ab hominem attack, usually delivered with insults and (in actual face to face encounters) a "shout down".
If anyone doubts this, just watch what happens when Conservative speakers appear at a lot of our colleges and universities, or when "peacenik" protesters find that pro-victory, pro-American demonstrators want to stand in front of the local courthouse, too. The Left is getting increasingly violent, too.
The First Amendment says we can say whatever we want - but that doesn't mean we should, or that it's a good idea.
Yes, Heather - I agree with you. We as Libertarian Conservative Constitutional Fundamentalist (and many of us Christian) types are NOT a hateful bunch, and typically act rationally and show some restraint with the name calling, etc. - even when the Moonbats confirm our worst assumptions and prove themselves hardly worthy of much better.
That is what separates US from THEM.
Posted by: TonyD95B at May 8, 2009 8:06 AM
Correction - That is ONE of the things that separates US from THEM.
It's been my experience that Libertarian Conservatives are the only ones that have any good, realistic, and workable ideas as well.
Think of Mssrs. Fuelner and Forbes at the "Heritage Foundation", Newt Gingrich and "American Solutions", etc. - and there's a lot more.
Posted by: TonyD95B at May 8, 2009 8:14 AM
Its what you'd like to think separates you. But obviously doesn't. You have plenty of idiotic shouters on your team, Tony. Its completely ridiculous to pretend otherwise.
When people fight for culture (which is what this site is about -- culture, not politics) they get a little crazy. There is no defense of culture, its just belief ... and so folks start talking hate nonsense.
Posted by: Anonymous at May 8, 2009 9:30 AM
Anonymous / Moon bat,
"There is no defense of culture, its just belief ... and so folks start talking hate nonsense."
Whaaaat???
No, I'll stand my ground on this one. My culture, my country, and my way of life are worth defending, and all your your "relativist" nonsense is, as I said before, just a smokescreen.
Look at the history of organized hate and political violence in this country, and it's almost exclusively a LEFTIST thing. This is historical fact.
Now, I know you're gonna say I'm misinformed, or brainwashed, or deluded, or out of touch, or part of some Vast Rovian Right Wing Conspiracy, or whatever other kind of snarky label you want to put on me - but frankly, I don't care.

I think I've seen this logic before. It goes something like: 2 + purple = apple
Besides, I don't think Tony's argument amounted to, "we have no idiots on our side, so there!" Only a fool would be unable to distinguish between the Tea Parties and, oh say, any organized protest from the left. Are you such a fool, Anonymous? Apparently so, since you go on to imply culture is a belief (??) that leads to hate (????). I sort of just tuned you out at that point. I don't wanna sprain something trying to make sense out of nonsense, ya know?
Posted by: cowlove at May 8, 2009 11:05 AM
"That is what separates US from THEM." Hmm, caps and all ... doesn't get much more clear than that.
Culture/relgious wars are raging everywhere, cowlove, and yes statements like the above are the basis for them ... and yes, culture is a belief or set of beliefs that define a group. And yes, since these beliefs are usually deeply held, they do often lead to anger and even hate when challenged.
Or people just "tune out" like you. I wouldn't want you to sprain anything cowlove. If it sounds like nonsense, its because that is what you want to hear and so I write and you turn it into "2 + purple = apple" ... maybe we just need a liberal/conservative dictionary.
Ah, now that would be handy! Maybe if we came up with the right translations for each of us, we could solve some problems! Or at the very least, make many people's Thanksgiving dinners much more civil.
Posted by: Anonymous at May 8, 2009 11:45 AM
What a dolt. Culture is not a set of beliefs. You're thinking of "ideology" or "religion." Google is your friend in this case.
I ridiculed your logic because it's idiotic. I didn't think you could top yourself, but I was proven wrong on that one. By all means, continue. Maybe you can show me how cars are bank accounts, so we should throw tires into a woodchipper, or something.
Posted by: cowlove at May 8, 2009 11:56 AM
And Tony, you too are stretching what I said to make it seem extreme. You fling labels at me and dodge imaginary insults you think are coming from me. I think most ways of life and most cultures are worth defending. I don't want to take away your way of life, any more than I want to be deprived of mine.
I don't think you're brainwashed or part of any conspiracy, any more than I am part of "organized hate and political violence in this country" this is where dialogue turns into mush, the gloves come off and ugly things are said.
You "accuse" me of relativism, but what is life and experience but relative? You deny culture bias? I know you don't deny party bias. Nothing is objective, except God.
When I said there's no defense, I meant simply no logical defense, I did NOT mean that culture isn't worth defending. Of course America's many ways of life, heritage, history, and all are worth defending. That's the whole point, man. That's America. We're all a little different, but we all get a say. Deal.

I didn't think anyone pretended there's not nuts on EITHER side haha - craziness! Love the whole 'culture comment' which came out of nowhere & no sense LOL
LOL - that's funny cowlove...cuz the only thing I could think of in response was "WHAT??"
Sounded like he heard some "catchy phrases" somewhere...the "culture" of Monbattery is funny and kinda sad.
Just another ploy to take away from the issue at hand...the left is so good at doing the whole..."well what about.." in response to something...
& LOL @ ANON!!! you have a HUGE vocabulary but a liiiiiiiiiitle dic..........tionary. "US vs THEM" is a generalization - you are arguing w/ the intent to prove we are "all the same". "the collective"...which is laughable...and makes you sound ignorant even if you do use correct sentence structure, punctuation & spelling.
Posted by: Heather M at May 8, 2009 12:05 PM
Yes, Heather, us vs them is a generalization, and one that gets very ugly very quickly. I propose, us and them, not that we're all the same, but that its doesn't have to be a contest.
And nowhere did I use or imply that word "collective" -- That anyone would try to say so IS laughable, so yuck it up, because you wrote it, not me.
I don't think I used any particularly catchy phrases or any particularly big words (sarcasm noted) cowlove is definitely more up on the vocab than I am.
I would note that I find it weird that somehow my correct punctuation and spelling is used in a tone like its something bad. I don't care what words people use or if their spelling is great if they can make a point. It certainly shouldn't matter the other way around.
Posted by: Anonymous at May 8, 2009 12:18 PM
And the culture comment didn't come out of nowhere. We are posting on a string that started with a pee recycling container. I'm fairly certain that's NOT a political topic.
And cowlove, since you seem to think looking up definitions online is a bad thing, I'll copy this one out of my printed dictionary that sits on my desk: "culture -- The customary beliefs, social forms, and material traits of a racial, religious, or social group ; also : the characteristic features of everyday existence (as diversions or a way of life} shared by people in a place or time.

Wow, I didn't think you'd really keep going. Religion is certainly part of culture. However that does not mean religion is culture. You said, "...culture is a belief or set of beliefs that define a group." It clearly is not to anyone that has access to a dictionary and the ability to read.
Now, did you have something pertinent to say? Or is it more of the ol', "Highways are made of jelly so put your left shoe on first"?
Posted by: cowlove at May 8, 2009 12:32 PM
Yes, I did say that culture is a set of beleifs that define a group. The word "beliefs" does not always imply the word "religion" in front of it. You HEARD it there, but I didn't actually write it.
You ask ME, if I have something pertinent to say, but here's a smattering of what you've offered up yourself:
"I think I've seen this logic before. It goes something like: 2 + purple = apple" -cowlove
"Maybe you can show me how cars are bank accounts, so we should throw tires into a woodchipper, or something." -cowlove
"Highways are made of jelly so put your left shoe on first"? -cowlove
And by saying each trying to put those words in my mouth. Who's shouting down who?

No one is shouting down anyone. You haven't made a coherent point yet. Not one.
Get it through your head. Culture is not a set of beliefs. That's a religion. A set of beliefs is the definition of "religion," or "ideology." Religion is one part of a whole bunch of things that make up culture.
Geez, I feel like I'm trying to explain statistics to a shrub.
What's your point? What's your argument? Even getting away from the whole "what is culture" nonsense, what are you trying to say?
Posted by: cowlove at May 8, 2009 12:44 PM
Get out your friggin dictionary and look it up fool.
Posted by: Anonymous at May 9, 2009 8:37 AM
Religion is a set of beliefs, and culture is another set of beliefs or ideals, or commonly social norms which may or may not encompass some of the first. And I still say its ridiculous to try and discuss culture without discussing religion. They are intertwined.
And the point is, because you're addressing mostly culture, you get hoppin mad. It seems like half the time, the subject isn't politics, but the way a different group of people wants to live their life. So what? Let 'em live!
But no, the dialogue usually degenerates to the level of shooter and others ... and can I just say, you have a number of people on here who are obsessed with homos? I mean forget about them getting married for a second. Is the fact that there are homosexuals a political topic in and of itself?
Get a life. The gays and environmental do-good-ers and the welfare state are not out to convert you. There will continue to be people who recycle their pee and take unemployment for way longer than they should and who will do things in their bedrooms that you and I will find revolting whether those people are straight or not ...
And y'all do talk about the political side of these issues, but so unconvincingly. The topic is usually the people involved and how much you hate the people. Rarely is the focus political. This post is a PRIME example.
And I wouldn't really care much if you were having fun, but its so ugly what so many of you post. DId your mothers teach you nothing? Its like a mob of sad little road-ragers -- flippin the bird and shaking your fist and honking your horn.
