Freepers vs. Recycling

anon1's eagle eye found this one.

I don't know if all recycling is energy efficient, or if it's more a long-standing political fad. Neither do Freepers, and they're amusingly split on the issue. There's those who refuse out of spite, those waiting for the Almighty Market to give them money to do it, and those who do it but post on Free Republic how they totally don't like it.

ClearCase_guy is totally not smug:
Liberalism is an IQ test. The smug people are the dumb people.
Daffynition is one of many, many Freepers to raise this objection, but cite not sources:
It irks, that one has to rinse the recyclables...has anyone calculated the water it wastes? .....especially if you use hot water?
driftless2 wants everyone to listen to his LIBERAL geography prof:
More than twenty years ago one of my LIBERAL geography profs. did a study on recycling and concluded it cost more in money and was more polluting than just throwing everything in the garbage.
Steely Tom doesn't like to do anything that wasn't done like 40 years ago:
I have to wash the garbage I put in the recycling bin so we don’t have flies in the garage.

My parents never washed the garbage. I know this because I used to empty the wastebaskets every day and take the garbage out every week.
Diana in Wisconsin works hard to lower her footprint. And also seems to live in a place inhabited by Jawas or something...
I will ALWAYS compost veggie scraps and garden waste and will burn what I can - but I might not always ‘recycle’ as I should. I will crush cans and save aluminum for cash, but it’s not an obsession by any means.

However, he makes a good point that those stuck in Liberal Cities or, ‘In Town’ as we call them, have to have a place to keep their recyclables until pick-up day which can be messy and stinky in the heat of summer.

I live in the boonies and have NEVER had a problem getting rid of anything; I haul it to the ‘curb’ and it’s gone in sixty seconds. ;)

I ‘release’ it back into The Universe and if someone else wants to profit from it, so much the better. :)
Yeah, I'm not even going to look it up; I'm not buying this story by whinecountry:
Here in Calif. they outlawed plastic bags for groceries and urged everyone to use the cloth bags to “save the environment.” We know a guy who works in a landfill and guess what. People are throwing away the cloth bags — which take up far more space in the landfill and much longer to deteriorate than the plastics.
thirst4truth smugly tells of how she owned her public school system once:
25 years ago when my oldest son was in grade school, I caught him looking through the various "recycling" bags under the kitchen sink. "What are you doing?" I asked. "My teacher asked us to find out if our parents are recycling and report back." "What?" I took all the bags, plastic, glass, paper and put them all in one bag and handed it to him to take out to the garbage can, and told him, "Now go tell your teacher that I do NOT recycle, what is she going to do about it?"

Never recycled another piece of garbage again, happy about it too.
thirst4truth is pretty sure that one heroic act of dickery is what made her son eschew recycling:
He is 34 now, has a family and is not recycling, he still remembers what I did that day.
newfreep somehow ties recycling to being anti-Christian:
The same with “climate change,” it’s a religion and will make us poorer and lead to tyranny.

Leftism is an amalgamation of religious cults that is the “Bi-Polar” opposite of the Constitution and the Judeo-Christian morals that America was founded upon.
Haiku Guy knows what recycling leads to:
Recycling is practice for knuckling under to tyranny.
huldah1776 took all the wrong lessons from his social psychology class:
The recycling campaign is used as a prime example on how to coerce and motivate the public in my social psych text. Live and learn!
toothfairy86 is just not getting into the spiteful spirit of things:
I still live in a small city that was a major glass producer in the 1900’s. As a child, we used to play in the alleyways and dig up pieces of colored glass that was mixed in through the gravel. Now, our city is a democratic run, drug riddled, cesspool. We pay for garbage bags, and they pick up recycling twice a month...glass, cans, and newspapers. We used to be allowed to burn our waste paper, but the city took a pile of money from the EPA to make it illegal.

I always felt that most recycling was counter intuitive. You waste a lot of water to wash out cans and glass jars. If you really care about the environment, quit drinking out of plastic bottles and get a water filter. Make coffee in a coffee pot, instead of K-cups. Buy food or products with less packaging. Buy quality products, so that you aren’t constantly buying new stuff that breaks quickly. Conservatism is all about being good stewards of your environment.
Market robot kosciusko51 does nothing unless there's profit in it:
My daughters ask me why we don’t recycle. I told them there is no money in it. If there was, someone would pay me to recycle.
Hot Tabasco is okay with anything wherein he gets paid:
I think recycling is a waste of time. However, I AM in favor of deposits on bottles and cans and would like to see the same on plastic water bottles too........
lacrew blew a coworker's mind by demanding to be paid to recycle:
I once tried to explain this to a liberal who wanted me to recycle paper at the office. I explained that, if nobody wanted to pay me for used paper, at BEST recycling was a break even as far as energy is concerned....but more likely used more. In a free market, cost of just about anything is directly related to the energy needed to make and ship it. If new paper costs less, it must have a lower ‘carbon footprint’.

She shrugged it off.
Norseman is totally the only person who understands the superlative correctness of the market:
I got in an argument with a liberal about 20 years ago over recycling. He ended up saying to me “So, what you’re saying is that you only recycle what you get paid to recycle?” I said “Yes.”

Basic economics and liberalism are not easily joined.
Mastador1 recycled until he saw some poor people found his discarded cans useful, and FUCK THEM:
I have found that separating the recyclables ended helping only the thieves that came and took the valuable items from the cans the night before and sometimes right in front of the collection truck. When I saw that the city had no intention of upholding a law that was supposed to help keep costs down through revenue I said screw it.

  1. It's amazing that these people can outright acknowledge that they won't recycle unless paid to do so and they don't realize how this makes them selfish and the bad guys in this situation. What a bunch of scumbags.

    1. In the 19th century marriages between teen aged women and older men were common so the age of consent was in the teens. Presently the age of consent for women in Alabama is 16. In 1979 according to Gateway Pundit it was 12. In Mexico it’s 14.

  26. I was trying to comment on this story, but by now it's day-old news.

    A woman approached The Post with dramatic — and false — tale about Roy Moore

    What's remarkable to me about their reactions is this:
    - They constantly decry "fake news" but cheer on a guy who got caught hiring a woman to pose under a false name with a fake story.
    - They cheer him on because he is trying to discredit victims of sex abuse, who have corroborated stories, by using a lying woman who's doing it for pay to muddy the waters.

    They have the nerve to complain about journalists fact-checking their sources first.

    I do not understand what people consider ethics or morals or journalism anymore.

    3. That makes sense—they don't believe that there are eligible Democrat voters. They are very clear about this after every election they lose: "it was the illegals," "it was the nigroes," "it was the Muslims," "it was the city folks," etc. They don't believe that any of those people have a genuine right to vote, because Freepers are ethnic and ideological nationalists. If you don't agree with them, you're illegal and should be killed.

  71. I check out FR and Freeper Madness frequently to get different perspectives on various issues. I identify as a conservative but I really don't understand FR and I would really appreciate some insight into my question:
    Why are Freepers so persistently angry and depressed all of the time, no matter what the situation? If things go well politically for them, there's always more than a few that complain that it's still not good enough, and then in situations like this omnibus bill that's about to be passed the Freepers are absolutely apoplectic. Once again, in their minds, we have a situation that spells the imminent destruction of America and impending doom for them and their way of life. It's to the point where some don't care that President Trump eventually becomes impeached--they almost welcome it just to have something bad happen to him for his "betrayal".
    But why don't they ever take a loss as simply that--a loss? Why do conservatives always act like everything is out to get them and that danger and destruction is lurking around every corner all of the time? Do they even enjoy life in any capacity? Does nothing at all bring them any joy, except for seeing their political enemies suffer? I'm reading the mood on FR right now and it's so gloomy and hellishly awful that makes me want to slit my wrists lol.
    So in short my question is basically why are they always so morose and hopeless? Why do they always dwell on their misfortunes? How do so many people go on day after day and year after year being so scorchingly angry and sad without it killing them, and why do they wish to go on like this? And if I'm a conservative and I just don't feel that way or want to feel this way--is there something wrong with me? Am I the crazy one? Lol

    3. "Decoding Authoritarians" is an excellent read, and I think everyone should read it. That being said, Donald Trump is Freepers' dream come true -- an ignorant TV "patriot" who repeats their favorite Fox 'n' Friends daily talking points as if it came straight out of their mouths and into the TV -- yet they are angrier than ever. Their threat level is at 11 on a scale of 1-10. They're never going to abandon Trump, no matter what. He is their mirror. If Freepers didn't have their cult of permanent self-righteous victimhood, they wouldn't have any hobbies at all. They've already abandoned (by their own admission) TV, cable, movies, music, the NFL and every other sports league (because uppity blacks), the Oscars, the Emmys, the Grammys, popular music, newspapers, magazines, Facebook, and their own families. Free Republic is all they have left to give meaning to their lives. #sad

    I guess he hasn't noticed the lack of impulse control displayed by Loughner, Paddock, Cruz, Lanza, Holmes, Roof, Harris, Klebold . . . or maybe pre-meditated mass murder is a higher brain function that he thinks minorities aren't capable of.

By that time the camera is rolling and the person being interviewed is very confused by what's happening (which is clearly visible in the interviews).

To defy the spouse and place your relationship above them is to spit on the institution of Christian marriage and render it profane. But hey, since when have rightists ever had genuine religious beliefs?
