Well I've been around trucks and diesel for 30 years and I ain't dead yet

Maybe they should bring the price down for us since it is harmfull to those that have to be around it, LOL.

What about the "Dead miners" that have breathed the fumes for 30 years?

"Silly." Yup.... I give up. Trying to spar with someone on the climate religion is like trying to convince a radical Muslim that Christianity is the true religion. You can't change someone who has been programmed to "believe" since birth. Sorry to throw the thread off gents, I should have known better.

If anyone needs me, I'll be downstairs using diesel to get the grease of my hands, and then burning the waste in the front yard.

Just so everyone on here understands... There are more people on the planet now than at any other time in history. Diesel fumes must not be that bad ! Otherwise, the numbers would be going a different way.

How does that compare with diesel fumes out in the open air. Such as plowing a field or running construction equipment.
Hate mention it, but Coal Dust kills far more miners that diesel fumes.

Think I will also clean my hands with diesel and burn the leftovers. Sure hope it does not kill me or give me cancer.
Will keep you informed. Unless I'm dead.

Do you guys use bars of lead instead of bars of soap when you shower, too? Mercury milkshakes? Toxic waste meatloaf? Smoke cigarettes for the sweet scent?

I fail to see how bragging about ignoring health warnings makes something "manly"..

If/when you do get cancer, what then? Will you tell your family, "I'm putting you all through this because I wanted to be cool and it was totally worth it!"? I fail to see why people purposely risk their health for no reason at all. It isn't like there is no hand cleaner which works equally as well (or better), which doesn't require burning afterwards. Heck, some are wipe off and don't even need rinsing. Why the needless risk? What do you get out of it?

If you want to quite me don't take things out of context.

To most folks it would be pretty clear that was a JOKE.

Me thinks you should sell your tractor before those fumes get you.

Want to have some fun with some of these Nervous Nellies. Tell them that a substance that is far more
dangerous than diesel fumes is very common and out in the open. And to top it off, very few in the media
even know it of nor do they care, if they did know. This common substance is known as dihydrogen oxide.
It kills more people around the world than any other single compound. And chances are it is even in your
home - waiting! Dihydrogen oxide is water, H2O, but don't tell them that, make 'em squirm a bit thinking
the sky is now falling.

What context was that? I quoted the entire statement.

To most folks it would be pretty clear that was a JOKE.

And how exactly would that be clear? Were you also joking about miners dying from coal dust? How would one figure out where you are joking and where you are being serious? That is why forums have emoticons, because emotion is not easily conveyed via text.

Me thinks you should sell your tractor before those fumes get you.

Me thinks if you joking, you may want to consider using the technology correctly and not assuming people can read your mind. I don't know you from Adam. I have no idea what you consider a joke or what you are dead serious about. My apologies for not taking everything you say as a joke, unless you otherwise specify.

Also my apologies for giving a crap whether you get cancer or not and speaking up in the hopes you reconsidered your statement, of which I didn't know was a joke.

Just to help you out with your reading & understanding.
Joke to Follow -- "Think I will also clean my hands with diesel and burn the leftovers. Sure hope it does not kill me or give me cancer.

Are you just trying to be stupid or is it the real you.???????
