[QUOTE=Laserbeams;29169754]Because he believes in God.[/QUOTE] That's what's wrong.
[QUOTE=Laserbeams;29169700]No.[/QUOTE] It's insulting god's power by asking him to do such a minor thing.
[QUOTE=Penultimate;29155992]So, an omniscient being needs to be reminded that gas prices are really high? And, wouldn't God have bigger problems to solve anyway? For example, the fact that Japan is being put through the wringer. I'd rather God help with that than gas prices.[/QUOTE] Fuck that if god exists I'd rather he lower gas prices. It's already $4 a gallon here in Florida!
I love how you two rated me dumb. How is it not wrong to believe in a god? You use it as a crutch for your own weaknesses or failures, when you could be improving yourself instead of being a weakling.

It's called Freedom of Thought.

Be it placebo or not.
[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;29168527]It costs £80 ($140) to fill up a small corsa here. If he has a bigger tank, it's in no way unrealistic.[/QUOTE] You'd never get 80 quid in a corsa! 45L tank and maybe you'd get an extra litre or 2 in. My car holds 60L of fuel and that's just about £80 to fill it to the brim. Either way, it's getting fucking stupid now. Fuel is going up pretty much every other day round here, for no apparent reason!

Go educate yourself before stating your retarded opinion.

I'm a Christian. I'm not an idiot.
Getting up and actively doing something about gas prices may be a better way of lowering them.
[QUOTE=Habsburg;29171403]Getting up and actively doing something about gas prices may be a better way of lowering them.[/QUOTE] Ok, but does praying make them idiots? Does believing in God make you stupid? Is there anything wrong with getting together with your fellow believers to pray?
[QUOTE=Habsburg;29171403]Getting up and actively doing something about gas prices may be a better way of lowering them.[/QUOTE] You do you expect them to do, make oil?
God should give them a bike
Tomorrow Petrol prices skyrocket overnight
Seriously, what is bad about them doing this?! What are they doing so wrong beyond just having a religious belief?
Oh god, I thought $4 was bad. Then I read this thread :ohdear:
-snip-
i wouldn't be so mad about gas prices if i had a viable method of alternative transportation.
[QUOTE=FlapadarV2;29156722]We pay £1.46 / $2.50 a litre here. That's $11 a gallon. Deal with it. $4 a gallon is nowhere near enough.[/QUOTE] Even lower in New Jersey I think.
