  1. Stop Recycling! by BigMucho · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I remember when I was in elementary school; we went on field trip to the local computer recycling plant. Once there, they brain-washed us into believing that if we recycled computers, instead of making new ones, the world would be a cleaner place.

    Don't believe it!! Computer recycling plants destroy the environment! C.R.P.'s routinely dump more effluents into the atmosphere and water table than most large industrial plants!

    The truth must be told!
