Fe-TAML will take care of these types of problems soon.

They're trying to figure out how to make it by the ton instead of by the gram.

This is a picture of a UFO in the sky. Its often refered to as a flying cigar, since they can't use the politically incorrect term "flying condom".

How many trillions (really really rhetorical big used to be measured in billions--times change) of tons would be needed to clean the planet?

If by "dirt" you mean "soil" no it isn't. There's very little soil on the planet compared to other materials.

Proof fish want to be eaten

This video shows how fish knowing that their true purpose in life is to act as food for mankind gladly throw themselves into fishermens' boats.

Check out these videos about a man, woman and baby living in the woods. Some scenes show the man eating worms and snails. Is this how the misanthropes want us to live? It might work until the parasitic worms slowly turn your body into Swiss cheese.

The enivro-freaks have this hatred of modern civilization yet LACK the courage to go live in the woods and eat snails. They are scared to DEATH of getting sick and can't live without modern medicine at their beck and call. Not to mention a late night run to 7-11.

The old "you want everyone to go live in caves" cliche. :roll:

It's true, we often don't want to eat snails. There may be another choice between civilization and "living in the woods eating snails" though.

Just sayin'. :)

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('hillsidedigger', 'A') low impact lifestyle does not imply eating snails.

Some people find snails to be haute cuisine.

Escargot a La Bourguignonne
1 cup soft butter
1/4 cup finely chopped parsley
2 shallots, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
2 tablespoons brandy
32 snails

Preheat the oven to 350 deg. F. Combine the butter, parsley, shallots, garlic, and brandy in a bowl and blend well. Fill each snail cavity with the seasoned butter. Place on a baking pan and bake for twelve minutes.
Serve hot, as an appetizer, on individual snail dishes or on small folded napkins on plates, to keep the shells from sliding about.

All that "industrial effort". And for what ? For this empty city ? link
Madness. Do you know why people don't use the city they built ? Because they are low on their numbers - stored on some hard disk in some dungeon. (90% of money are electronic money). So - being low on those important numbers, the city stays empty, and people fight each other - for a place to do what you see above. The system has them convinced "if you don't build cruise ships and empty cities - there is not enough rice for you !" Some say - "there is not enough for all". Of course there is. Destroy the f... hard disk, forget about "numbers" - build what you need, use it, stop working if you don;t need.

At least if we would destroy the planet - having fun. Somehow - caught in our own party, at least having fun when doing this. But - who does not hate his job ? Maybe 10% - and what they do usually depends on - what you see above.

Or destroy it for "us" - like: "we are going to make sure everyone has a villa and a Mercedes by the end of the year !!! Get to work !" I would like to participate in something like that - knowing there is a "us" I help everyday. (not necessarily for a villa and a Mercedes)
But no. See here : [url=http://www.storyofstuff.com/]link[url]

Vogelzang, don't you dare ever feel like you have to hide behind your mentor,
Alfred E. Neuman never saw the day when he could think outside of the box to
put a string of pearls like this thread together. I understood much of it, and I scared
the piss out me once I realized that I did. The worm eating guy was just a teaser
for the deeper subliminal stuff, right?

Keep up the treatment, I feel if I can rack enough of this up, digest the odd
morsel here and there, and ruminate the fibrous chunks and lumps to where
I pass them before the methane blows my carcass asunder, I shall meet thee
on the high plateau, where the still water runs deep, and Palin slays the moose.
We are truth and light, trapped for awhile within these earthly bounds of mortal meat.
