How so? Isn't competition a good thing?
What competition? Litecoin is a parasite.
Either way all litecoin users are also bitcoin users.

Well.. People don't want them (anymore).
Really? LTC currently run for roughly 0.004 BTC each. At 12 USD/BTC that's just under 5 cents each. Take into account that both chains are showing no signs of weakness and that LTC topped off at over 0.007 BTC each and you have a reason to want them. If nobody did then they wouldn't even be traded...a week or so ago volumes of BTC/LTC trade on Vircurex alone were topping 40 BTC a day (I didn't check BTC-e.) Even if it's little more than speculation fodder (which I think it is more than) it is being adopted. 
Good one:)
I will eco-utilise all used coins
My scrapyard:
LTC LVQDTJqYPVZjYmHkqAUUzwDuihRaToDGGo

People are strongly encouraged to send their unwanted LTC to this recycle bin address: LcxFbYsEHrP7gFEuY9fdJkvWWYdsiUjKyx
Is it still possible to mine litecoins with a regular computer?
You can mine any existing coin with a regular computer.
There are many ltc pools micro mining friendly.
I cpu mine sometimes with my laptop ~8,5kh/s plus cpu minig with fw cores on my pc ~13kh/s. it mined quite a lot.

I set up a Vicurex account yesterday and traded out a few BTC for Litecoins. The main purpose was to exercise the Vicurex account and get a feel for it. The trade went off without a hitch, so far so good with Vicurex.
I'm trading LTC on Vircure (btw. you pay less fees from this link)

I'll get some LTC just in case it becomes more valuable in the future.

Only good use for litecoins would be to buy some bitcoins.

where can you buy LTC ? only BTC-e ?
The only other exchanges for litecoins that I know of are bitparking and Vircurex. Oh, and there's probably a #litecoin-otc IRC channel too.
ill prolly pick up a few thousand. what the hell, ya never know

I think litecoins will catch on once bitcoin mining is unprofitable unless you are using an FPGA.
Speculation is another reason. I got 1000+ while the were closer to 0.001 and now they're closer to 0.004; I also bought some at 0.007 before they dropped. Of course the same kind of speculation can be done with Bitcoin, but the variance and current increase in popularity may attract speculators.
Used to also be good for CPU mining. They're still better than SHA-256d currencies for CPUs, though. I think GPU hostility probably made more laypeople eager to mine and adopt it but that's just me.

in terms of popularity it seems like its bitcoin or bust
litecoin is mostly supply based (people just want something to do with CPU time) rather than demand based
