Reply to A club is a networking event for sex by Existing-Ad6404

For some reason I really wanted to respond to this with “ your mom is a networking event for sex “ because I thought it would be hilarious , but then I thought you might not take it as a joke and become really angry , so at the last moment I decided not too;)

Reply to comment by Toby_Forrester in The 1984 Dune film makes a lot more sense if The Spice is referred to as Space Cocaine instead. by neoengel

i mean thats the whole point of the book, he was talking about a desert planet with a rare resource that all the major powers wanted to control but whos extraction directly has a negative effect on the environment (not terraforming because it would ruin the spice harvests).

The analogy for the middle east's oil couldnt be more clear cut

Reply to comment by bathcat7 in SUV’e are the new minivans, yet it’s still cool to own an SUV. by highxv0ltage

Exactly. But people sometimes forget about the gas part all they’re really thinking about is being able to travel with a bunch of people, or being able to haul a bunch of toys and stuff. And basically, big truck equals carrying more things. They forget how much gas that’s going to take and how much that’s going to cost.
