I had my lights turned out while I was at school, but nor during the actual "hour".  But that's normal for me.

Seriously, what the hell..we already have an earth day.  Why not extend the whole "turn your lights off" nonsense to that day instead of throwing out this "hour" stuff. 

Fake edit: Oh wait, the earth hour thing is a part of earth day?  Durr...goes to show you how much I pay attention to earth day.  Oh well..turned my lights off, I'm not to blame.

I turned all my lights off.  They were energy saving lights though. D:<  but i think the computers going all made up for it.  i mean, We just bought this big LCD HDTV, and it was going all day.  aswell as 3 computers.  I dont even get the point of turning the lights off.   Oh and not to meantion the Fridge, the beer fridge, and the Freezer, and the BEER Freezer...  + the pool filter...

These energy ideas just arent smart.(couldn't think of a better word). Theres no way everyone in the world is ever going to be energy efficient, so long as we aren't cavemen.

Because turning off your lights for one day is going to do jack bollocks.

(Might be my opinion if I was a moron)

*edit* I think this sums it up better

Its symbolic. yes 1 hour is nothing. But the important thing is to raise people's awareness.
I did not expect anything different coming from an American. Only thing they are aware is other people's resources and land. (for them to claim)

Because every American citizen goes around stealing land from other countries, right?

You are a moron. You and everyone else who actually believes that all Americans, or for that matter all of any country, are stupid (or anti-environmentalist in this case) because of isolated cases that are touted as the norm. Yes, there are idiots in America. The same could be said of anywhere, we just get the most negative attention. Does my being born in the USA make me a SUV driving redneck who dumps trash in baby seal habitats for the hell of it? You don't realize the irony in speaking of ignorance, do you?

Okay, I'll admit that if anyone who didn't already realize that leaving your light on all night could be bad for the environment learns something from this, it could have a use. But unless you actually change your habits (such as only turning your lights on when you need them for the rest of the year) then this is an empty gesture.

No one believes that. Theres always black sheep's. Otherwise all sheep's would be gray. It just happends to be that Americans have gotten that reputation (maybe for a good reason).

i really don't understand why people even care. Like we really care how our great great grandchild dies. We aren't gonna meet them or anything. We will all be 6 feet in the ground so whats the big deal.

There is no real point to this pollution thing, it only gets hotter right now because we are coming out of an ice age. Every time a human / animal farts, we add pollution... everything is about pollution now - a - days so i just choose to ignore it

I wouldn't go that far.  Just because things warm and cool naturally doesn't mean we should just pump tons of crap into the atmosphere now that we're more familiar with the effects.  There's a difference between naturally occurring and needlessly occurring pollutants.

With all the people lighting their farts on fire I don't think they are as much a threat as you think Wolfman.
