Recycling The First World, in the Third

simoncito writes "Ever wondered where that old useless printer ended up? BBC has a photo report about chinese villagers building ramshackle systems out of used and discarded first world computer parts. The effects on their surroundings are drastic - I never knew hardware was so poisonous." Worth a look if you aren't desensitized to suffering. Anyone know the proper way to dispose of a monitor?

Is that suppoesed to be funny?

The question was how to dispose of a monitor, and that was a fax machine in Office Space (and that fact was relevent).

We, here in the Rocket City (Huntsville, AL), have noticed a decline in work ethic, morals, and family values from the influx of Northerners.

And as far as 'generally educated people' goes - we turned out a lot of the International Space Station, the Saturn V Rocket, countless military technologies, and other hi-tech 'gee-wiz' that would make you cream your pants. Oh yeah, more and more automotive companies are establishing manufacturing plants in our area. We figure they're getting tired of the lazy, union yankees showing up for work drunk.

What has your hometown ever done?

P.S. - Its y'all

It's bad enough tor ead that the US consumes the most resources in the world, I wonder what sort of lavish lifestyle you pigs have there. No wonder the rest of the world hates you. No worry, Bin Laden and Saddam will probably take care of you, knocking out the chunk of people most responsible for the abuse of resources.

Is this a troll? I don't know. Fucking Yankees.
