Not true. "plastic" does not necessarilly mean petrochemical... I
strongly suggest you consult a dictionary... maybe you'd be so kind as
to share your dictionary with our low IQ resident mick... vocabulary
is obviously not his forte, I don't think he has a forte.

You gotta be irish, you're as functionally illiterate as our resident
dumb mick. Yo, right now the Pope is applogizing for Duh'Weenie type
micks... not good enough... all those in the catholick church need
castration, otherwise they're hypocrites.. all hucksters anyway,
promoting their sicko fairytales.

i'll leave whether or not you're a low i.q. yid as an exercise for the
reader.
