$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('pstarr', '
')I appreciate your interest in this topic. I love end o' time movies. But I don't know how you can call 12 Monkeys silly :x Bruce Willis was incredible deserved Best Actor for this role. The script is genius, a mobius band, traveling between the past and the future, twisting back on itself and his life. Brad Pitt’s best character role by far.



I really enjoyed that movie. By silly, I mean in the Brazil sense. Not in a bad sense. In particular, the scenes in the future, with the people who send him back. The analysis they perform on him. I'm not complaining. It was all well done.

Soylent Green

Unread postby Petro » Tue 13 Sep 2005, 12:44:31

This is why I hold to my belief that post PO, life might reflect the novel Soylent Green. If you can justify using cadavers for beauty, why not food. How long until some starving populations demand, not lip or eye enhancement, but nourishment?

ANYONE ELSE HEARD OF SG98?

Unread postby PrairieMule » Tue 20 Sep 2005, 17:17:45

I have heard on good authority that a new fuel "alternative"has been discovered. American enginuity and it's can do spirit science has solved the problem of Energy Consuption as wells as unemployment, housing and hunger. The country has created a economical organic source to create cheap abundant fuel to the masses. It is form of biodesiel and with the stabilization of common chemicals added it will end our dependence on oil.

I know this is already in the works because I listened to a consultant Dr.Robert Peru, a top chemist from Dow speak of this on the Art Bell Show so it must be true. The fuel is know as SG98 or nicknamed "Green 98" because of its color and octane. The concept has been in development since the early 70's by and the marketing campaign should roll out next week depending on Hurricane Rita's outcome on production in the Gulf. The only drawback is....


DEAR GOD! SOLYENT GREEN IS PEOPLE! THEY MAKE DIESEL FUEL FROM PEOPLE! SOLYENT GREEN IS MADE FROM PEOPLE DAMM YOU!

hello we have 300,000,000 right now. The numbers of illegals and legals here right now are set to double in 20 years. On top of that they want to add 200 million LEGAL immigrants in the next 20 years. ON TOP OF THAT their will be how many illegals coming in in the next 20 years?
Rough estimate of popualtion in 2026 600,000,000. I would say this is just a pimple on the ass.

That many will not come because our economy will soon be the same as mexico's. However since our countries are now essentially one country lets build thousands of cheap RBMK reactors in mexico.

My new startups going to build some cheap Soylent Green Processing facilities down there too! Im am so stoked to get this thing rollin! The last blast! Not telling what the ingredients are tho. its all good! Well Im not seeing how our population isnt going to increase. Seems bad economies arent stopping breeding rates in the barrios of the world. Hmmm America has resources left. History shows migrations in the face of resource depletion and overshoot has always occurred. Im not buying the population will stabilize when the economy goes. well just grow right to the bitter end. Hope Im wrong and your right. Just not looking that way.

Oh don't be too quick to reject what could be a good idea.

In the USA, 2,000,000 people die each year at 150 lbs a 'pop'. That's 300,000,000 lbs of bio-mass just dumped into the ground or, even worse, ignited using precious and increasingly scarce fossil fuels. It could be put to use powering something.

If this is successful, we could expand the program worldwide to include the 50 million (or so) who die on earth annually. Of course eventually we would hit peak-bodies, meaning there would be, say, more bodies consumed for every one born.

When that occurs we would need to find something else to burn. Thinking outside the box will be required. Maybe a lottery of some kind could be used.

Valero -----> Soylent fuel???

A currently running Valero commercial states thusly:
"Not all of the energy in our fuel comes from oil in the ground...
A lot of it comes from our people".
Hmmmm.... Anybody know the EROEI of the TDP of human bodies?
If Valero is hiring, I wouldn't apply for a job if I were you. :lol:

the yesmen have an exxon spoof where exxon renders dead people into a new fuel called vivoleum?they actually conned their way into some energy symposium and presented this product while pretending to be exxon execs. the suits there were nodding their heads like they thought this might work and be a viable idea.

Folks here are going back to Mexico because high gasoline prices make it too hard to make money to send back to their families, so they're just going back home to be with those families and tough it out in Mexico. Easy money in the US is going to go away, and if it isn't advantageous for folks to come here so they can send money back home, they just won't come here.

No telling how this will play out in the long run.

They might be experimenting with going back now, but I doubt it will last.
Even a depression-level US with a welfare state underneath it for anchor baby families will still look a hell of a lot better than an apocalyptic post-Pemex-crash Mexico.

I think the folks who had babies here are likely to stay, but those who have come here to send money back home are, I think, more likely to return home to be with their families.

I don't personally expect the welfare state to exist for very long into the Greater Depression. I think the government will continue some programs as long as possible, but, eventually they will have to be scrapped.

Of course a lot of this depends on what kind of administration is in control at the time, and how the populace feels. If more people clamor for help/handouts, the more likely it will be the guvmint will try to provide in order to stay in power.
