Global warming

[wildWilly 0]

If every one is so concerned about global warming I say they should ban all drive through windows. Just think about all the pollutants being produced and all the gas being wasted by these idiots sitting in the drive through line that can be 15-20 cars long. Across all of north America I bet it would be staggering. I admit I do use drive through windows, but only when there is less than 2 cars ahead of me. It wouldn't bother me at all if there was no drive through. Get out of your car and walk into the burger joint. Save the planet and get some exercise.
What do al of you think?

I'd forget my napkins without the drive thru.

Actually, I avoid the drive thru whenever possible convenient. Gas is too expensive for me to sit idling.

Perhaps a protest march in front of McDonalds will get things rolling. Let us know how it works out.

Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

You must be referring to your local Tim Horton's establishment. It's amazing all those lemmings who line up for blocks just to get some coffee. By the way, what's Tim Horton's putting in their coffee to have created so many dependents?

Try not to worry about the things you have no control over

Or get a hybrid. They shut down during stop and go traffic (like waiting in a line for a burger.) Better yet, get a bike and you won't have to worry about parking.

Don't get me wrong, I think widespread bicycle use in the US would go a long way to help solve more than one problem we have. However, I've noticed locally a lack of available bicycle parking, including signs prohibiting chaining bikes to signs and such.

How about just banning anyone with an order of more than five bucks from the drive through?

Is that going to stop 20 idiots that just want their Timmy's ( that's coffee for all that don't have Tim Horton's on every other corner) in the morning
and are willing to sit there for 15 min.

You might be on to something here. That's not a bad idea. It may not be the total solution, but it is something that can help much more than it would hurt.

Build all drive though windows at the bottom of a long ramp. Use your handbrake to allow the car to roll down it, with the engine off, as the queue advances.

This actually is the rule in many places. I can mention San Luis Obispo, CA, for one.

UK has been hit by three tornados in the last two weeks. The latest one hit London today and wrecked several streets. The climate is changing, is 12 degrees in London today in DECEMBER?! A few days ago we had floods in Yorkshire. Three tornados! And this ain't Kansas Toto!

Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Wednesday ranged from a low of minus-9 degrees at West Yellowstone, Mont., to a high of 84 degrees at Riverside, Calif.

-9 F. = -22 C.

Does anyone think people in West Yellowstone are ponder global warming, today?

I'm still reeling from that brutal 2006 hurricane season.

There weren't any hurricanes because there was an El Nino which cooled the surface of the ocean, which was caused by global warming.

I guess it is the same everywhere. I often see 10 cars lined up in the drive through instead of parking and walking their fat asses into Tim Hortons to get a coffee....there must be a better way.

It's coffee. COFFEE. How slow do they have to be to slop the crap into a cup and exchange it out a window for the money? I'd think the cars shouldn't even have to slow down, let alone backup 10 deep.

Or is it the girly metrosexual types of "coffee"?

>How slow do they have to be to slop the crap into a cup and exchange it out a window for the money?

If the exchange involved something like a SpeedPass, a net in the back window and a sealed container, then you wouldn't even have to slow down.
