The Fun Theory

[Jones]

It might encourage some to recycle but others would probably just continue on with nothing worrying about it. That or someone would break into the machine and just take all of giftcards lol. It's hard to find something that's appealing enough to everyone and that will last long enough to have an impact.

Somehow I think if ATM's are mostly kept safe, the gift card distribution could be done safely too. Besides, most gift cards need to be "activated" to work. They could set it up to where you needed to bring the card inside the store to redeem the "prize".

Right now, in my community there is no incentive to recycle other than it's pretty easy to do. I'd guess about 60% on my street recycle and of the remaining 40%, about half of them pay extra to have 2 garbage cans.

I realize some people will never change, but something tells me a little incentive can go a long way with the general public. Just look at the KFC free chicken deals & other "freebies" practically causing riots. I would hope those people would throw a few plastic bottles (that they could pick up off the street or trash if they were desperate) in a bin for the hopes of a free burger or gift card. But I'm sure the day that someone a young white girl gets robbed at a recycle spot would be they day they disappeared.

Maybe if that recycling bin shouted out please and thank you, and some other good mannerism type words it would encourage you to walk up stairs. Since manners has everything to do with walking up stairs now eh?

lol I love when you throw your ignorance like a batsignal into the GD sky

Should have*

Hafta say, you're like, my best new friend. Thank you. Thank heavens for you.

I live in a small community with an older population and almost everyone recycles (I'd say about 80%~). Most people would bite in on the idea of recycling for a chance at a random shot at a gift card/other prize. The only problem then would be how to get the others who still don't the reward is worth the time they would have to put into it (it's only 5-10 minutes but for some people that's still to much) But yeah the first time you see a homeless guy jump the shit outta someone for a can would be the day lol

Now watch your manners Finesse, wouldn't want those bad manners to effect your stair climbing :D
Seriously manners =/= the ability or will/want to walk up stairs. I don't know your still pushing this issue. That or the continuation to call me stupid for not agreeing with it.

As an unbiased outsider, you're dragging the issue out just as much. Pot, kettle, etc.

Whoever said manners =/= the ability or will to walk up the stairs? Terrible attempt at making up an argument is terrible.

Any person that knows the definition for manners knows it doesn't involve you walking up stairs.
Here's a definition for you
Manners Definition | Definition of Manners at Dictionary.com
manners,
a. the prevailing customs, ways of living, and habits of a people, class, period, etc.; mores: The novels of Jane Austen are concerned with the manners of her time.
b. ways of behaving with reference to polite standards; social comportment: That child has good manners.

And now a definition of work in the terms of physics
Work (physics) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In physics, mechanical work is the amount of energy transferred by a force acting through a distance. Like energy, it is a scalar quantity, with SI units of joules. The term work was first coined in the 1830s by the French mathematician Gaspard-Gustave Coriolis.[1]

Better yet here is a worksheet from a beginners course in physics were they measure the work done by walking up stairs
Couldn't get the link to work so here's it copied and pasted into a spoiler

Spoiler: show

Powerhouse Lab

In this lab you will explore the difference between work and power. Work is the amount energy transferred into or out of a system. Work is measured in Joules, J

When you walk up stairs you are lifting your weight a certain height. This is called doing work against gravity. When you do work against gravity you are transferring potential energy to the object. This potential energy is coming from the chemical energy that is released in your muscles as they metabolize food. You could day that you are converting stored chemical energy into stored gravitational potential energy.

work against gravity = weight x height

( where weight is in Newtons and height is in meters)

The rate at which you convert one form of energy into another is called power. Power is measured in Watts, W. A 100 W light bulb converts 100 Joules of electrical energy into light energy every second. If you “use” 3000 W of energy you have converted 3000 J of one type of energy onto some other form every second. The faster you convert the energy the higher the power “used”.

power = work ÷ time


Prodcedure

1. You will do the following activities:

• lift a mass with your arm straight up one meter.
• walk up a flight of stairs that is at least one meter high.


2. Determine the weight of your object in Newtons. You will need to estimate the number of pounds the object weighs. Then convert pounds to Newtons using the fact that 1 lb = 4.4 N. So if you weigh 200 lbs your weight would be 200 ( 4.4) = 880 N. Put this in the chart for both trials.
3. Now determine how high the object will be lifted off the ground. This will be the actual height of the stairs when you are doing that activity.
4. Now perform each activity very slowly and time yourself. Record the times in the data chart.
5. Now perform each activity very quickly and time yourself. Record the times in the data chart.
6. You will need to attach two pictures showing you doing each part of the lab.






Data Chart: Type your values in this chart.

activty Weight (N) Height (m) Work = weight x height (Joules) Power = Work ÷ time
( Watts)
Stairs Slow
Stairs Fast
Lift Object Slow
Lift Object Fast


Conclusions: Type your answers in COMPLETE sentences below each questions. Use az different color or highlight the answers.

1. Do you do more work against gravity while you were running or walking? Explain.

2. Do you do more work lifting an object fast or slow? Explain.

3. Do you “use” more power when you run up stairs or down stairs? Explain.

4. Do you “use” more power when you lift something quickly or slowly? Explain.

5. A friend says to you, “ I am so tired !! I did so much work running up the stairs.” Use what you have learned about work and power to explain why or why not his statement is correct.

Attach a picture of you doing each activity below:

lol wow self ownage, so no one exercises manners in public when walking up the stairs? fat people push kids out of the way? people run into each other with disregard?


here you missed something:

b. ways of behaving with reference to polite standards; social comportment: That child has good manners.

Your dumb ass said work ethic, I said no but the relevant term is manners. i.e.:

Yes I'm glad the video you provided in the OP was about people pushing other people down the stairs. NO It was about people to lazy to walk up the stairs so instead they used to escalator. So they in turn made the stairs into piano keys to make it more appealing. Do you even remember what the OP was about? Obviously not. Go back watch the video again and tell me where it's stated "This video is about bad manners and people getting the shit kicked outta them while going up stairs."
Your seriously failing at this. Please regroup and come back with a more intelligent response kthxbye

Which has nothing to do with me responding to you ignorantly saying work ethic. The topic changed but please, keep trying to make up arguments that weren't there.

I said 100 posts ago that I should of simply labeled it as work instead of work ethic but somehow your still stuck on that.

Guy you're making an entire argument out of the word manners which I'm responding to.

And your making one of work ethics which I retracted to simply work two posts later. Look in the mirror it's blissful <3

Fuck all of you. I WANT PIANO STAIRS.

The entire 4th page of this thread has been about work ethic vs manners. You have until the end of this page to finish your debate, then it's back on topic or http://www.videogamesprites.net/Fina...k%20(Left).gif.

So mad, next time don't focus so hard on a response to a retarded argument you gave like its life or death. You're an idiot get over it, everyone else has.
