I love you tree huggers.. you keep the value of recycled paper high! Btw, those environmentally friendly lightbulbs you see advertisements for are the least cost effective invention in the last 20 years. I love the reaction I get when I tell people it is illegal to throw them in the garbage with their normal waste and they need to pay an EXORBITANT fee to recycle them. 30 lightbulbs, avg cost to purchase $30.00 ... Avg cost to recycle 40 bulbs $150.00 - $225.00. As a little side note as well, the amount of mercury in a fluorescent bulb compared to incandescent ones... Wanna venture a guess? Try 50 to 100 times more... So you save energy and don't have to replace your lightbulbs as much. Great, right? Wrong, now you have just introduced more mercury to landfills than has ever been seen in human history. Thanks tree huggers!
Don't even get me started that you tree hugging hippies made Al Gore one of the richest men in the world. He sells imaginary carbon credits. Gimme a fucking break. I am on the frontlines of recycling and honestly it is the biggest bunch of bullshit ever. San Francisco is so proud of what they have done in their city with waste streams. Yet they destroyed 30 companies in the process and now have 1 company handling every scrap of waste in the whole city. That's right a complete monopoly. People are getting price gouged and don't even know it, because they don't have any other options for waste removal. Not even 1800 got junk can get into San Fran.

What in the hell are those nut bag liberal professors teaching you at SMU(I'm guessing). Brain washing you into thinking that a one world government is good idea or even feasible. |

I go to A&M, not SMU. Maybe government wasn't the right word, maybe organization would be better. It is definitely possible, however many changes would have to be made. Obviously, it is not possible in the current world we live in. As I expressed earlier, there are too many selfish politicians or corrupt leaders. All of those people would need to be done away with or removed from their positions. If for example it is Kim Jong Il (spelling?) then just put a bullet in his head, I don't care, I just know it would be for the better of everyone. Also, countries would need to have the mindset of future-proofing the Earth and our species, making life better for everyone, and thus we must all work together at full capacity if we are to achieve this. That's all for now, gotta go to class. Sorry for any typos... on my phone. Last edited by DougLikesBMW; 09-15-2010 at 06:07 PM.. |

Are you following me??? I'm sorry I don't agree with you that someone should have control of every point of our lives... I don't see why people can't just take care of their own shit. I don't give a shit about some poor peice of shit fucker on welfare, it's not my problem. I'm just rambling now, so I'm going to go... |

Doug... please read this book.
http://www.amazon.com/Atlas-Shrugged...4641979&sr=8-1 perhaps the idea that selfishness is the root of all evil will seem a bit less credible. You need selfish people in this world. If we lived in a utopian society nothing would get done. Everyone would depend on others to do it for them, and there would be no competition. Competition breeds innovation. |

Someone want to tell me why Antarctica is getting larger? I mean I know people want to keep talking about Greenland because it helps put asses in priuses and money in Gore's pocket. But if the world was getting warmer, why is it actually getting colder? And why is the continent of Antarctica getting larger? That wouldn't make sense based on IPCC's beliefs, would it? Keep drinking the Kool-aid, hippies.

They take the LEDs and crush them into tiny little bits while a vacuum sucks all of the nasty stuff into a coal filtration unit and then a hepa filter. I have installed a couple of the actual machines in some of the larger office buildings in NYC to deal with the 1000's of bulbs they dispose of a month. Pretty cool lil contraption. |

I definitely disagree with your statement that nothing would get done in a utopian society. If anything, more would get done. Efficiency would go through the roof. Quote:
