Well, around here, unfiltered water that comes out of the tap is usually rather, er... opaque. To me, regular bottled water is well worth the price. But jeweled bottles? :rolleyes:Quote:

Don't breathe if you are pregnant or nursing. Hazardous fluorocarbons and radon elements are known to exist at certain levels of our atmosphere.
Actually, they already have "oxygen bars". :PQuote:

Lol, what a waste of money. Thats expensive just for a bit of oxygen. I'd rather just open a window and breathe ;)

We have yucky well water so we buy cases of Ice Mountain. I even give the cats bottled water in their fountain - shhh, don't tell my hubby! :P
Cats can taste water more than people so I figure if I don't like the well water, the cats wouldn't either. There I go being the Crazy Cat lady again. :roll:
:rolllaugh: HAHAHAHAHA!Quote:

We keep empty bottles around and pour the filtered water into them when we need to take it somewhere (like soccer games twice a week). MUCH cheaper.

Hmmm.... this assertion got me curious, so I did a quick Google. The first result I found included this quote: "Compared to humans, the cat's sense of taste is weak. We have 9,000 taste buds, while they have only 473." I don't really know how reliable that source is, but it looks like a fairly authoritative site. But, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't post something like that, Burns, unless you had a reliable source as well. Care to fill us in on why you believe it to be true?Quote:

I am sick of you people that act like saying the USA is crazy means that every single person in it is crazy. It has nothing to do with induviduals. America is just the only nation stupid/crazy enough to actually have a market for bling-bling-water. Might be only 0.05% that buys it, but that doesn't change a fact that america it. Both the products and the idiots buying it.Quote:

Curse you alarm clocks and your poor sense of timing!

The problem that I have with generalizing is that when people say something about America, it's not always their words but also their mindset. When I hear that Americans are stupid for some specific reason, then when someone says that they are American, then that stereotype of "stupid" (for whatever reason it was) comes to the non-American's mind. Example:Quote:

Person 1: *thinks* Americans are silly for buying jeweled bottled water.
Person 1: Hey! Where are you from?
Person 2: I'm from the US.
Person 1: *thinks* You're silly for buying jeweled bottled water.
Person 1: It's nice to meet you.
It's the same principle as the thought that all Islamics are terrorists. They're not, obviously, but people who over-generalize may come to that conclusion and act accordingly.
yeah!Quote:

I think it just comes down to that fact that it's "the thing to do" if you're non-American (U.S.) to be contemptuous of Americans. You could be the dirtiest, filthiest, uneducated, piece-of-trash dirtbag--from, say, Europe--but automatically that person believes himself better than the "Stupid Americans".
Oh wait, I'm generalizing, aren't I?
Sounds familar.
Woah woah woah!
Sorry if I generalized too much, which I did...
My point is that I think it's pathetic that there is a market for ANYTHING like this in the US. NOT THE US AS A WHOLE! However, there ARE people out there that would buy this, and chances are it wouldn't take long to find one. This pseudo-gangsterism fad is EVERYWHERE. It's driving me insane!
So, to set the record straight:
I DO NOT THINK THAT THE US AS A WHOLE IS STUPID ENOUGH TO BUY THIS!
But I think it's sad that there's a market for it at all.
Mmmkay?
SI SI SIII! Why are they even selling this lol. It is a joke. They just want money.Quote:
