We should ban rice!

Zuhaib · January 24th, 2008, 03:16 AM

To reduce green house gas... yes your right, according to a quick google search: http://www.ghgonline.org/methanerice.htm
I did not even hear of this till a lady at the local breakfast place told me she would not eat rice because of the Methane it release. I was very confused till i looked it up, But god thats crazy.
I wonder if the eco-nuts should attack this first before they go after cars...

Oh, I thought you meant riced cars...

Carry on.

At first I thought someone choke on rice and some legislator was proposing a stupid law...

epp_b · January 24th, 2008, 05:18 AM

My first thought as well... "What? Ban ricers? I'm all for it!"

...and then, oh... rice? No way, that's tasty stuff images/smilies/smile.gif

Vette Boss · January 24th, 2008, 07:05 AM

Ban rice? My backside! With a bit of teriyaki and soy sauce, and seasonal veg, rice is delicious.

Eat more rice and annoy the greenies! images/smilies/biggrin.gif

Well, the website doesn't advocate banning it. It instead recognizes the futility of that, since people have to eat. Instead, it gives ways for reducing the amount of methane generated.

Nothing wrong with that.

pffft... ban rice???

I am gonna go make a Gimbap right now just to make sure I need to o buy MORE rice later! images/smilies/smile.gif

In Soviet Russia rice bans YOU!

More proof that current ecomentalists aren't so serious about saving the world as they are about instilling their twisted values upon people. And don't think i hate polar bears and voted for bush, because i don't and didn't.

Interesting new fact to tell customers at work (Asian Cuisine) when they start talking loudly about how great a plan it would be to have a carbon cap and trade system.

What twisted values lead one to ban rice?! "I hate rice, so I'm going to convince the world that that our earth is being destroyed by 'green house gases' and one of those is methane. Then I'll tell everyone that rice makes tons and tons of methane. They'll stop eating that damn white pellet!"

Momentum57 · January 24th, 2008, 11:03 PM

nothing like trying to refuse millions of people who need sustenance the only food they need. "We are really hungry and the food that we eat might cause the earth to warm over several hundred years so ya kill us"

Fuck this dumb eco bullshit they are so selfish they think of nothing else other than their own rhetoric they have no regard for the greater good of of global politics.

Lupin_IV · January 25th, 2008, 04:42 AM

Interestingly enough, "They are so selfish; they think of nothing else other than their own rhetoric; they have no regard for the greater good of of global politics." is exactly what the environmentalists think of us.

narin · January 25th, 2008, 05:23 AM

hmm... i love how they spit out facts without referring to studies or providing sources, brilliant.....

Ottobon · January 25th, 2008, 05:43 AM

Big News!! did you hear? AGU changed their position on Global Warming....

Who the fuck is AGU?

With all the hateful things i say, if you Enviros really want to save the world, then for the love of god do it by utilizing new tech like this, rather then branding people as criminals and legislating stupid restrictions (something Europe really seems to love doing at the moment images/smilies/sad.gif

)

Momentum57 · January 25th, 2008, 05:49 AM

Lady's and Gentleman we have the cure for global warming!
the crowd grows hush
We will wipe out three quarters of the world population. This will reduce the resource use and give mother earth a chance to live like she should. We will do this starting with the kind supporters in this room
shotgun blast

FADE TO BLACK

^ I remember Jeremy's interview with some liberal MP during the Top Gear drive time radio show. After the MP spouted a bunch ridiculous stats about climate change and man's massive contribution Jeremy retorted with, "Undoubtedly we're all to the blame and I must go and commit suicide straight away."

Richard pleads with him to be nice, but Jeremy persists.

"I just offered to commit suicide! How nice is that?"

I crack up every time I hear that line. Classic Clarkson. He's damn right too as people have already pointed out in this thread.

superchevy · February 2nd, 2008, 05:39 AM

growing up on it, i love rice, and so do well over a billion people who eat it everyday. a handful of eco-nuts boycotting rice isn't going to change anything.

powah · February 2nd, 2008, 05:57 AM
