Thursday Humor: The Pros & Cons Of Fracking
Gas prices are plummeting across America thanks in part to the country doubling its daily oil exports, which is made possible by chemical fracturing technology that scientists have said wreaks havoc on the environment. Here are some pros and cons of fracking:
Pros
- Blasts tens of thousands of gallons of chemicals deep underground, out of harm’s way
Prompts important conversation about whether or not people have a right to clean water
Chemical balance of breathable air getting a little staid
Fact that shale well blowout could happen at any moment emphasizes ephemeral beauty of life
Cancer research could use few more confounding variables
Those hardest hit will be the voiceless
Cons
- Dilutes perfectly good chemicals
- Family history providing enough birth defects as it is
- Class action lawsuits always take forever and are super boring
- Noise of drilling day and night could keep up the oh-so-precious rural farmers who live nearby and need all the sleep their sweet little heads can get
- Fewer excuses to spend time with oil-rich dictatorships
- Gas still not zero dollars

Pro: Most who write and speak of this show their true colors - usually a shade of shit brown with a tint of red from straining to crap out some new insight.
Con: Fact are made up.
Pro: Dems love to destroy things like jobs, industries, and independence
Con: Shit can be flushed but only if its factual.

This article is one of the most thorough, well thought and well written articles I have read on ZH; or anywhere, about fracking. I'm now convinced...
Its settled science!
Pro: Those hardest hit will be the voiceless

Is this bullish for gold or not?
I like the fact that you can use the word in so many ways. Some examples...
Frack you!
Frack me!
I don't know what that fracking means.
Abso-fracking-lutely!
How the frack are you?
What the frack?
I'm gonna fracking beat the crap out of you!
I fracked that bitch last night.
I'm so fracked!
Frack off!
You're a fracking genius!
She's so fracking hot!
I wouldn't frack her with your dick and him pushing.
Motherfracker.
Fracking A!
Wanna frack?
Let's keep going.
Go frack yourself!
You wanna frack with me?
Get the frack outta here!
I fracked your wife last night, motherfracker, what are you gonna do about it?
Frackme a battlestar galctica fan . I say frack away so what if it get's into the water table we will be so rich we will not have to live in Nazi America anyway. So what if a couple more kids are born with fuck up bodies the vaccine's will do that anyway , so what if the burn off kills the ground, we don't eat that GMO shit anyway it's for the surfs . By the end of the year Russia will nuke America anyway so who give's a fuck. Drill baby drill.
david cameron on fracking
wet joke.
Slippery argument.
well, it's clear we have at least 4 david cameron lovers or fracking industry shills on ZH....
Last time I laughed this hard was when I said "Now I have a machine gun HO-HO-HO"
The biggest pro for fracking is that we get to use the word in a real-life context instead of only in discussions about Battlestar Galactica.
Wait, you mean its not the free, radioactive lighter fluid that comes out of the faucet now? Damn it.
Your fracking comment is fracking dumb.
Turns out "Thursday Humor" was partially true....I checked the calendar.
ZH does not need special humor posts. At least one post a day is hysterical if you have any sense of humor and knowledge of the world's current financial/geopolitical situation.
Are New Yawkers lefty bigots?
Does a bear shit in the woods?
Is the Pope Catholic?
Is a frog's asshole water tight?
Does Rosie O'Donnell like pie?
Let me get back to you on that first question.
On paper, he is.
More humor for the day:

Is the ocean rising or is the east coast sinking
Neither.
The yardstick used to measure the depth of coastal waters is shrinking...almost as fast as the Dollar.
In another thousand years the East Coast could be upto a 300 feet deeper. Of course, by that time people will be 1000 feet tall.
If you have yourself crygenically frozen you will see how much apparently larger you will become...because the unit of measurment will be smaller.
You mean Androgynous Pat giving the Democrats insider trading info was NOT the Thursday humor?
I'll be darn, the Conservatives were right in 2008! We drill baby drilled and just look how much gas prices came down! Just wait and see when all those benefits from the tax cuts and deregulation kick in. Our economy will be even more awesome than it already has become from these low gas prices!
Please do not turn this blog into some hippie extreme enviro blog that hates anybody but them selves living in anything and using energy.......
This is bullshit and really not even funny except to an earth firster or something like that.....
Oh Frack, wrong blog. Thought I was at Zero Hedge but ended up in some eco-maniac science free zone.
