has it never occured to you that your thoughts could be also wrong?
humans do pollute atmosphere, and quite heavily at that. this is a fact and it doesn't need to be proven again and again. acid rains are also there, again a fact. lots of forests are dying because of acid rains.
now explain how these facts are antiamerican? is trying to preserve nature somehow antiamerican? or trying keep air we and our children will breathe more or less clean antiamerican?
so what is pro american then? consume and pollute like there is no tomorrow and thus there won't be a tomorrow?
in this case i'd rather tend to be antiamerican, yes.
and how is using a cleaner industry anti technology? cleaner industry means more modern and advanced technology has to be developed. in europe, the factories filter their pollution and generally produce less pollution because of the pro-enviroment laws. in japan the technology is the most advanced in the world because the raw materials there are scarce. this is absolutely pro technology, not against it.
sure, pro-environment laws can destroy some factories which are too cheap to upgrade and prefer to pollute. because making money is the only thing the corporations care about they have to be forced to care about environment.
so, why us-american corporations cannot upgrade and stay competitive while europe and japan have managed it without any problem?
in the rest of your post you sound like a spoiled child trying to relativate your faults "because the other are also bad"
india and china are developing countries. usa, europe and so on are already developed. they have polluted the air since 1850 and now, instead of ranting about developing countries they should rather shut up and help them to finish the development faster and rather cleaner.
by the way, do you know what a state is? a state is a community contract where everyone gives a part of his liberty to the abstract institutuon called state for the price of being secure. either that or you live in an anarchy.
first, turkmenistan is a really bad example. there is nothing interesting in turkmenistan, short of maybe opium production. it has absolutely fallen behind after ussr has fallen apart.
second, different jobs different salaries. with your logic you have to be pissed that you boss earns much more even when he works less hours. or even if some earns less than you for the same work time, it is possible that he has more vacation days, longer job contract and so on.
for example, at the place where i work the wages are bit lower than usual, but no one has been fired for 10 years already. in contrary, we keep growing.
third, your example with the surgery is not that good. in many places it may be illegal to have more than one job, but in many places there is an universal healthcare so you don't have to think how you can afford the healthcare you need.
no, we are not envious, we are curious why do you prefer three crappy jobs to a good one.
in my view it is better to have a good job, to earn enough for living and to have enough spare time.
when the only things you have time for are working and sleeping then it is not a life anymore, it is barely existence. you will be burned out soon, or get sick, then what?
i am very sorry to disappoint a fellow guitarist (i suppose) but you got quite a lot of things wrong. the whole bader-meinhof thing happened in sixties till seventies, not ten years later.
there never were cameras in dortmund. not at the street lights, not at the signals. don't believe me? come over here and see it by yourself.
i don't pay any church taxes because i am not in any church. only the people who are in any church pay church taxes. also scientology is a cult, not a church. they break the law and harass people often enough.
there are some not very nice things about surveillance but there is a quite a public uproar about it and nobody says the people who are against the surveillance are unpatriotic and terrorists and so on. even more, if someone tries to say that he will be laughed at even by his fellows.
it wasn't always the case. i frequently travelled between germany and estonia by bus, through 4 different countries. there weren't in eu back then and it was nowhere near "roughly analagous to travelling between US states"
now read please my first reply. what i want to say is that the space (or lack of it) won't force energy efficiency (and it doesn't, too), it just forces more brutal cooling methods (aka faster fans)

you can't take money to the grave.
dvd rom?
;-) - but here in germany dvd+-rw drives are already standard in low end 350 euro pcs.
i do not want to be elitist - at least not this time
after the work, or during the break. much better effect for your back and overall health than an overpriced chair.
holy shit. not meant to flame but dos/windows 3.11 and the whole microsoft office for it used less than 100 mb and were bit more powerful.
of cource music does talk. you just have to play your electric guitar with a talkbox
it is not banned. it is just that the state of bavaria owns the rights and disallows to print it.

if you sell used games you get money to buy new games. so simple.

you know, i used to live in ussr (was born there). you could feel really secure there. and it was very secure, too.
but freedom is better.
couldn't do, posted a comment myself already.
it wasn't always the case. i frequently travelled between germany and estonia by bus, through 4 different countries. there weren't in eu back then and it was nowhere near "roughly analagous to travelling between US states"
still, never seen a gun pointed at me.
partly you are right. but i think, banned muslim head scarves are okay. as far as i know, they even banned the crucifix (!) in bavaria schools (!!!).
the state and the church are separated. and it is imho a right thing.
there are no surveillance cameras (yet) in my town (dortmund, the seventh biggest city in germany). and i hope it won't change.
the people here aren't keeped in fear by the mass media that much.
practically only acoustic instruments (gilmour uses an electric guitar and his multi effect two or three times. sounds great.
or the pulse concert... sounds perfect live, although gilmour's voice wasn't that good anymore.
okay maybe several species couldn't be played live, but most of their songs surely could.
and why is he reading my hard disk?

try japanese gyokuro green tea. THAT's rocket fuel.
trust me. you do not want to chew this tea.

this was one of the favourite sayings of stalin.
chechnya is still a part of russian federation.
but i somehow missed that iraq was an us state.

maybe your inner clock isn't correct. try to take melatonine for a week, at about 23:30 (bit earlier if you stand up at 6.
