Thailand meets them because they're not as large an economic threat in those areas. If Thailand started exporting massive amounts of food to the EU, you can bet something would come up making it unsafe. Don't believe for a moment that countries don't game these systems for economic reasons. In all directions.
Hold on a moment, are you saying that because the US introduced someone to an invention, we're responsible for it's misuse all the way down the line? If that's the case, then China is responsible for all gun violence.
I have, literally, never heard anyone say "Recycling is for poor people". It's like a made up argument my nephew uses "Yeah, so this guy said black people were bad, so that's why I got in that fight!" I would suggest you take a small look in the mirror and clean up your own house before attacking your fictitious boogeyman.
The Japanese were doing this back in 98 when I lived there, and dealing with the dioxins, etc. In fact, when things went wrong with the process, it was usually dioxin related to not having a high enough temperature. Trash was sorted as Burnable and non burnable. Burnable ( paper, food scraps ) was burned. Non burnable ( plastic) was burned at a much higher temperature.
The problem is as follows: People have mental energy. They spend it on things. When they feel they've "done their good deed", they don't do anymore until that recharges. If they're spending all their energy on ineffective things, it's actually counterproductive: It KEEPS them from doing actually effective tasks.
Early Prius adopters in my town were a prime example. They drove terrible, because simply being in their Prius counted for good, so they could behave like asses on the road.
You can't win this argument. I know it makes you feel better to try logic, but it's like trying to convince a rutabaga that it should buy life insurance. It just ain't happening...
Carter is an absolutely stellar example of someone who meant well and was a decent person, but couldn't do the job well. Sometimes you gotta be a jerk, and he wasn't.
no no, he's right and the other guy was wrong. And everyone's kinda being a dick to the only guy who's actually giving some facts. Romney was correct, and forward thinking. I recall not long ago ( RESET button anyone?) how the left was falling over themselves to prove our issues with Russia were just historical and a little peace and love would resolve it all.
Apples sells it's products as high end and perfect. When you order one , that's what you expect. I once had an ipod with a very very slight gap between the plastic and the metal. On a crappy dell or something else, I wouldn't have noticed. On my shiny new ipod given as an expensive Christmas Gift, I obsessed over it. Every time I reached into my pocket, my finger would hit that spot and I'd notice it. Eventually, I returned it: not because it was affecting function, but because my high expectations made that into a defect I couldn't live with.
The tap water in my area isn't bad, just water: I assume if I don't notice flavor it's OK. Certainly not unhealthy. Yet I constantly see families from the poor part of town hauling off large water bottles from those machines in front of laundramats selling "non ionized/alkaline water". They would appear to be the last people who could afford to buy water, but there they are standing in line doing it. Unless their house/apartment water is godawful, I don't get it. The places they're living aren't more than 20 years old.
I'm sure harbor freight has it. I'm also sure that it will explode five minutes after you start using it. However, they will refund the $4.00 you spent on it.
The volts are really nice, it's a shame they're being discontinued. Everyone raves about the all electric Bolt, but to me driving the Volt felt like a car, while the Bolt felt like driving a kiddie car: all plasticy and vertical.

Hello Strawman! Glad to see you're back in the argument!
Thailand meets them because they're not as large an economic threat in those areas. If Thailand started exporting massive amounts of food to the EU, you can bet something would come up making it unsafe.

The problem is, unlike TVs or cars, if you have a food shortage people aren't just inconvenienced . They die.
Or, alternatively, how many football fields in length.
why would you consider that the pinnacle of cheese? The word you're looking for is "worst".
I have bought a LOT of fresh mozzarella in my life, and have never had them fizzle and shrivel.
Plus, american cheese works well for specific tasks: Grilled cheese sandwiches, on a burger etc.
You're not spreading it on a nice salad, for example.
And yes, I know, you can use other types of cheese for these purposes too...

It just ain't happening...
Then we should be glad you aren't in charge.
There have been lots of leaders in history with that idea. It never works out.

wow, common sense.

Saying "cali" pretty much indicates you've n ever been to "cali", nor lived there.
doesn't change the fact that samsung phones did catch fire...

There's the problem. He's more skilled with a sitar than with encryption.

Yeah, except google does have a liberal bias programmed into the company's culture. Every company has a bias baked in. Pretending otherwise is naive.
