Tap Water VS Bottled Water

Yes. We should all go back to wooden cards with stone wheels pulled by oxen. Once we get rid of the cars, the methane emissions from the oxen won't appreciably add to our pollution footprints.

I have not been drinking the Flavor-Aid, thank you very much.

It was Guiness.

No. I refuse to believe in technical advances. They are an abomination that should be erased from the face of the planet.

Only the rich. The poor won't be able to afford them, and so they'll sell their young into servitude to pay the winter heating bills.

You call this living?

I don't disagree. But ships also pollute our oceans poisoning our fisheries. But, then, when we can't afford to ship them into the middle of the continent, that won't affect me much.

I'm not ducking it. I'm goosing it.

High enough to recognize that ad hominem attacks are a loser's gambit.

Oh, please forgive me. How could I ever have confused STEAM for AIR?

Nah, I'm just a troll 'round here. The most elaborate troll ever, I reel 'em in with years of topical posts and then bust out the real inner troll. They never see it comin', just like the Spanish Inquisition!

You know, Dominic. It's those topical posts that really add the flourish to your trolling.

You know, I'd be insulted if that hadn't been typed by someone who thinks that we breath vaporized water.

Vaporized water is probably some of his more sane ideas, you should read up on some of his top material like (my personal fav) "Vocalists & Astrology" or where he takes his UV/bacteria musings to alt.home.repair and gets schooled by actual water professionals and still rebuffs it all, or how the bugger manages to respond to each and every response to his posts... every one! Sometimes twice for one reply! That is dedication and attention to detail only befitting the most clinically unstable and insane.

OK really I'm not posting anymore here, I really am trying to let this die away but I'm like moth to flame. Someone get the rack or the cushions or worse, the comfy chair!

You haven't the brains to be insulted. Ever hear of evaporation? Lets have your brilliant explanation for the origin of air.

Insane ideas? Try very sane provable facts of which you can't even debate.

No such thread exists for discussing tap water .. I've already covered that.

Show me where I'm wrong Einstein.

Oh so no counter arguments, just Trollisms and scram huh? Ok Troll.

Two out of three. The insanity part leaves when you leave.

According to Google's archive, it does. Was someone else posting from your account?

Evaporation produces H20 in the air. It's still water. It doesn't produce nitrogen or free-standing oxygen, which make up the majority of our air.

Rewording your original premise makes you repetitive, not right.

I take it you have never lived next to a big coal-fired generator plant?

Can you tell me the exact name and I'll research it. TIA.

So what does it produce? Dirt? What does steam produce? Dirt? Funny how you never answer this.

Evaporation occurs continuously everywhere. That "air" gets mixed in with the rest and that's what we breathe. There's no other scenario.

Nor does it make me wrong. I've reworded for you to understand better.

Do I need to? Ever hear of Youtube or tv? Fact is coal is awful, but times that by at least 1000 and this is how bad all the accumulated auto exhaust is. Furthermore, who lives near coal plants? <1%. Who lives in and around cities? > 90%. Weak argument. Sorry to see you lose that one bigtime.

And while it is true that your original question was about bottled water, the discussion quickly moved to tap water. And you, yourself, later commented in the thread about the harmful stuff present in your tap water.

Water vapor from evaporation later condenses in the high atmosphere and comes back down as precipitation. It never stops being water.

Oxygen, Nitrogen, and Argon make up over 99% of the air we breathe. It is incorrect to suggest that "air" gets mixed into water vapor.

To say "There's no other scenario" isn't scientific, it's dogma.

I understand that you're still making statements that are overly simplified and scientifically incorrect.

There is, in fact, an argument to be made in your favor. But you're not making it.

Actually, one does not have to live near a coal plan to be affected. In fact, living farther away can be more problematic. Acid rain in the eastern half of the state is created by pollution on the West Coast. Airborne pollution doesn't stay put.

Your statistics on coal versus cars also seem a bit off. In 2000, carbon emissions in the U.S. from transportation are estimated to be

513 million metric tons. Carbon emissions from coal are estimated to be 570 million metric tons. That suggests parity in the pollution, not a thousandfold difference.

That's my own post! ...and it's under Home Repair, a far cry from "TAP WATER VS BOTTLED WATER."

and?
