Miss Piff screeched her shrill opinion last, in the drift of Christianity, said the bishop. The Postilions had at first an idea of God, a man justified by faith. Because of his blind brothers and sisters accused him of avarice. Do you know French, Miss de Barral? I asked. Regarding everything.

The highways are covered with blood!

Go climb back into your sauna you queer. Nobody cares about what Finland thinks. Hell, do you guys even have electricity yet over there?
Sure, they got the bigger stick, but at what price?
Personally, I'd invest in a nuclear facility and some of the european-style fuel reclaiming plant/system things, instead of destroying a rather good-looking piece of real estate.
I will now redundantly add my name to the end of my post. You know, in case you forgot me or something.
I notice that Americans are the first to criticize ourselves while other countries make snide remarks about abslutely anything we do. You know, if you don't like America you could become a citizen and campaign for change or you could just bitch about America on the Internet which is much more likely. Also, when did our gov't officially state "it is bad."?
This guy is way out there
Animal extinction crap is over-rated.
This idea that a couple of mice outweighs million dollar projects in the US and projects in China that will result in people not getting killed by annual floods is just flawed.
Nature itself causes animal extinctions every day. Nature doesn't need our help with that.
Thing is you need balance. And right now the damn animal activists are against that.
18,000 people dying a year overweighs the extinction problems.
And as far as less important projects, we need balance. If I own a house and an endangered turtle shows up then tough shit for the turtle. I guess if a zoo or foundation wanted to grab it then I wouldn't protest. Course I might be inclined to say they pay for it, or the right to come on my property and take it.
But these rulings that say that people cannot improve property they own, that is nuts.
I say it boils down to this. If there is an ecosystem that can support the creature then a fair amount of that land should be protected (notice I didn't say the contested ecosystem) and an intelligent amount of animals moved to it.
Then construction should follow.
Down with ecoterrorists.
They are just like normal terrorists, except for the eco- part.

Oh, yes.
That's why so many Americans are emigrating to China and why so few Chinese are emigrating to the United States, right?
Too bad that (thanks to the United States) you probably won't ever have a chance to get executed as a source for spare organs for the "civilized" gerontocrats who are running China.
"...ancient temples and archeological site will be flooded..."
People keep saying that, but if my desendents need to destroy the house I lived in to keep warm in the winter, then so be it.
Yes its a tragic loss, but not near as bad as children freezing.
Of course, my confidence that it will stay up is not all that great, but hopefully my concerns are un-founded.
The Kruger Dunning explains most post on
don't worry. It will. But only after it destroys all the stuff you mention and kill a few thousand chinese. Hmm..sounds like a good idea to me. build a few more big ass dams, China!
"Over a million people who live in relitive harmony with the natural will have to be relocated out of the area."
They could have raised a rebellion. The dam could not have been built without labor. The Chinese People didn't refuse to build it. Every day that goes by, is a day that the Chinese People did not overthrow their government. I call that "consent."
A fire that acted exactly like a controlled demolition. On three buildings.
Have you seen the collapse of WTC7?
Google it. It's interesting.
I'm pretty sure it wasn't hit by a plane.
