    Now if they're so against it they just need to do what the US government was afraid of during the cold war. All the chinese people have to stand on it and jump at the same time... thats 1 billion people times about 150 pounds each. or 150 billion pounds of force. Thats how you get rid of a controversial dam... damn it :)

    That nasty old Chinese goverment is building a big ugly dam in a pretty spot. You should care because they are also going to hurt some cute fluffy animals. They say its so they can make some electricity and stop water getting into their houses but I don't believe that for one minute.

    What do you think?

    As if I fucking care what someone who wants to contribute on the basis of a two sentence synopsis of the 3G project thinks.
