Mar 28, 2010: Chinese Deodorant Cannons
Cannons? Deodorant cannons? Yes, but don't worry, they won't shoot you stinky people.

Makes me sick just looking at the pictures. People who are worried about bogus man-made warming should be worried instead about what the Communist Socialist Utopia is doing to our planet, and what will happen when they start dumping in the ocean. That's more likely to raise sea levels, and destroy life.

I doubt the deodorant cannons will work anyway. Purely from personal experience - spraying anything to get rid of bad smells just leaves you with a worse one (no matter what Oust and Febreeze claim). Best thing to do is light a candle. I know - I have a cat litter tray in my room which I keep as clean as a whistle most days, but tends to get filled at night. Not that I'm advocating setting fire to Bejing!

I didn't say man can't hurt the planet, I'm just stating facts that consensus by researchers vying for research grants is not science.

And yes, communist countries have the worst pollution record on the planet.

Got to back up Spudcon on this one. I lived over there for several years and saw the filth that piles up everywhere. And nobody cares. "I don't like the stink and the garbage and the ROUS's running about, but it's not MY problem; The government will do something about it someday" is the general attitude.

I think we have to keep in mind that there is still a very large rural/farmer/peasant population in China. It is not uncommon when they eat at home or for what passes as a restaurant to spit their food out on the floor during the meal if there is a bone, etc. they do not want to swallow. It's really gross, they hock it up, spit it out and are unfazed. I started looking at the floor like a mine field, plotting my exit strategy. Squatting in the field and relieving oneself then going right to the meal table is also not uncommon. The point is that it may take the next generation or two to bring these populations up to speed on even personal hygiene and basic etiquette. Bringing their awareness and caring to garbage and landfill issues is certainly out of their scope at this point in their development. ___________________ If we're not supposed to eat animals, why are they made out of meat?! |

Being anywhere within miles of that machine would be torture for me. I can't even walk past a Bath and Body without gagging. It affects my breathing. Maybe I'm allergic to those horrible artificial scents.
And, of course, Mrs. Z. and the Zlets love those places.

Now, I'm not saying we don't have a stake in what the Chinese are now doing to the environment through their own industrial revolution, but really, it is a little rich to spend hundreds of years fucking up the planet in new and creative ways and then within a decade or so of becoming aware of our part in that planetary clusterfuck, to then point our collective finger at communist countries, or China in particular and call them bastards for doing the same. Particularly since they are still playing catch-up in terms of industrialising their nation, whilst we are enjoying our post-industrialisation sense of goodwill to Mother Earth. Worth also noting that whilst China is still an appalling polluter, and is growing its fossil fuels consumption alarmingly, it is also the world's leading investor in renewable energy technologies.

Ditto. Damn commies! Oh, and don't forget, they've had nukes almost as long as we have. Industrial revolution had to come years after nuclear technology I guess.

That's because we could afford guns & butter, while they could only afford one or the other.
