<0> i lost of that log now :(
<1> Brabe eco-terrorist
<1> brave
<2> wtf
<2> dude must have has some serious psychological hangups
<2> had*
<2> hey im facing 5-10 and $1.5M in restitution, i should just off myself
<2> great plan....
<2> thatll show em!
<2> oh wait..
<3> good morning citizens
<4> afternoon you mean :-)
<4> seems you are a east-coaster
<3> weirdo :)
<2> its morning even on the east coast
<3> no, i am in DFW
<4> Yeah, but i'm from Europe
<4> in europe it's not morning anymore
<3> i herd you boys in europe just love the president of the usa
<4> Yeah, he is such a smart guy :-)
<4> and so peaceful too :-)
<3> he can fly fighter jets.
<1> and its not a euro centered world or channel
<3> it takes a brain to fly a jet aircraft
<4> Yeah, right
<2> it takes a brain to become the most powerful man in the free world
<1> "At over $70 a barrel, the price of crude oil is nearly four times the spot price on the day back in 1995, 11 years ago, when then-President Clinton vetoed drilling in ANWR. They say there are no short-term fixes, I would agree with that, but if we had authorized drilling in ANWR 10 years ago, crude oil prices would not be, in my opinion, over $70-a-barrel today."
<2> yea they would
<2> still wouldnt be a drop from it
<2> if they authorized in '05 nothing happens till 2012 at minimum
<2> and its not cost effective
<2> not to mention youre forgetting world oil demand is setting the price
<2> world oil demand would still be the same
<2> let us also not forget it was shot down by this current congress
<2> i guess people would make the claim they were pandering to enviromentalists, but just yesterday they said they were pandering to special interest and corporate america
<2> man i wish people would make up their minds
<5> bmc the price is set on supply and demand. If there were other sources of oil, and other means of energy supply (nuclear plants) the need would not be so high.
<6> the price, you mean?
<5> you would reduce demand and we would increase our supply. The price cannot remain high.
<6> the need is constant
<6> (or growing)
<5> timur thats why I said we also needed to build nuclear plants
<2> its not based on -our- demand alone
<6> right
<2> so reducing our demand or increasing our supply doesnt necessarily mean lower prices
<5> if California had not been so damn stubborn and determined to be PC .. and refused to build nuclear plants that were desperately needed .. they would nt be in the crunch they are in today
<5> expecting govt to subsidize them ..
<2> if they cant sell it to us for that high price, theyll sell it to someone else for that high price
<5> or like they did last year
<1> I cannot see in any real way how our energy demands are ever going to go down.. Most Technology requires energy somewhere along the line and we are in an technologial era
<2> cause thats going price in the world oil market
<1> the only answer is to manage supply better
<5> ARROGANTLY demand that the rest of the US subsidize them out of gratitude that they supply fruits and nuts
<6> and high tech ;)
<6> heavy industry, navy bases,etc
<5> bmc .. right now there is a new customer
<5> china
<5> and that is also keeping the prices high
<6> http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/blackout/california/
<5> but china is not america. They are not hung up on PC bull****. They are building their nuclear plants.
<5> and public transportation in china is really BIG and i mean BIG
<5> and efficient
<5> you get off the Ferry in HK and walk out of the fleet landing there .. and there are taxis lined up in the queue .. and buses in another queue and they leave every two minutes (the buses) to all points of hong kong
<5> and they are dirt cheap
<5> and they are FULL
<5> they usually have about 5-6 busses filling up in the queue .. all going to diff places. The first one pulls out and the rest all follow. right behind them the next 5-6 busses pull in and begin to fill.
<6> that's efficient
<5> timur and most of them are the double deckers too
<5> when that bus pulls out they are packed .. all seats and all standing room too
<6> see the virtues of good and well organized public transportation? :)
<5> the other thing that really impressed me about it, timur, was how clean everything was.
<5> no graphitti anywhere.
<7> i always wondered why they didn't use double decker busses in the US
<5> rusty they can't even fill the ones they have around here
<1> Comet from my hands on experience grafitti is really pretty easy to handle...you have to cover it with paint the very next day it shows up
<8> i wonder if being a zombie roaming the streets in search of brains would be a rewarding career choice
<9> rond, yep
<1> do that and within a week or so it will never come back
<8> i mean like do they get good benefits
<5> when you take the subway in HK .. those trains are immaculate. They have women on them (in uniforms) directly people and helping them. There are areas to put strollers and luggage. They are always on time.
<9> That's been the policy at the DC metro
<9> And it's worked well
<7> haha Comet yeh this is true
<1> We fought it different ways for a couple of years on our shops outside walls. then we started just painting over it
<1> it has never come back
<1> its just gang E Mail is all it is
<7> Comet, so then, well, make less busses and use 1 double decker to do like 3 routes
<7> hehehe
<5> rond .. they handle it real well in HK. If someone paints grafitti .. they are arrested and tossed in jail for about 3 mos. And you do not want to be in a jail out there, believe me. They don't have gyms, cable tv, and cafeterias. You live in a 6x8 cell with 3-4 others .. you sleep on the floor .. you eat on the floor .. and you are locked up.
<5> with the rats and vermin
<1> yeah but you have to catch them first and that is extremely difficult
<5> during the day you work your *** off.
<1> As I said I know from expercience
<5> rond .. its not difficult there
<7> why is Fox so bent on sending us his criminals
<1> cannot imagine it being any different than here
<7> oh wait, never mind
<5> they don't have a big crime rate there because their penalties are so severe and they can catch anyone within 15 min of committing a crime there.
<7> so they say anyway
<5> Do you know what the penalty is for selling drugs? Death.
<7> in some cases its grab who they think it looks like
<5> Rusty .. its so easy to get them in HK. There are 9 million people in a 3 mile area .. and they can nab you in 15 min. I saw it happen.
<2> who is going to be the next mexican president?
<2> and will they be any better than vicente fox?
<7> in the facmous words of Hu Jintao "There are 1.6 billion people, I don't have time to worry about the rights of the individual"
<5> two guys robbed a jewelry store in Hong Kong and ran out the door. Tell me .. how do you make your getaway?
<7> heh, the same way they do in NYC Comet
<10> The southern Ontario town of Caledonia awakened in darkness and uncertainty on Tuesday, the day after a standoff between aboriginal protesters and non-native residents exploded in violence.
<5> do you own a car? I don't think so. The annual tax on car ownership is $125,000. and it doesn't matter the year, model or make of the car.
<7> 9 million in Hong Kong 8 million in NYC
<5> if you think the average crook owns a car in hong kong .. guess again.
<7> a million people difference isn't that much
<5> in a 3 mile area? LOL
<5> you have got to be kidding me
<2> they could steal a car
<2> that doesnt cost anything
<5> here is what happened to these two guys.
<1> Low crime rate or not that is way to crowded for me
<7> HONG KONG 6,826,500 ( 1,098.02 Square kilometers)
<5> they ran out of the store and planned to disappear into the crowd. But as they ran .. the word went out and all the police (and many of them patrol on foot) began to close in on them.
<5> so they waved down a taxi .. and were well on their way to escaping.
<7> HONG KONG ISLAND 1,407,600 (80.30 kilometers)
<5> because its really difficult for HK police to get around with so many people and cars.
<5> Rusty Hong Kong central is 3 miles and there are 9 million people in those 3 miles
<5> people to peple
<5> so what did they do? How did they catch them?
<7> hehe Comet NYC is smaller than Hong Kong in square kilometers
<5> anyone want to guess?
<5> the govt turned every single light in the city of Hong Kong .. red.
<5> all traffic came to a halt immediately.
<7> NYCity-368 sq. mi.(953 km2)
<5> they began a taxi to taxi search
<5> they two guys got out and began to run .. citizens captured them and held them for the police.
<7> NYC population 7,333,253 <--- they need to update that
<5> those two boys will be sent into the interrior of china .. to one of the work camps for about 30 years they will be making quilts.
<7> last i knew NYC was 9 million, upstate is 7-8 million
<10> ah the gulag, only sinister when used in russia =)
<5> and need I tell you that after they were captured they were beaten half to death?
<1> I don't know about china's gulag but Russia's was extremely sinister.
<7> population of NY total is 19 million, and let me tell yah, there is NO way in HELL that 12 million people live outside of NYC
<7> heh
<10> Comet, did they get a trial?
<5> herzen .. I didn't hear about it. But I was there for one other trial that made the news pretty big
<5> they caught a gang of drug smugglers/suppliers
<2> hong kong 6,217 people per square mile
<2> hong kong island 17,529 people per square mile
<5> and I do mean gang .. there were four men and the rest were mostly young boys and girls .. 20 and younger.
<6> BMC: but they average 4'10" and are thin
<2> haha
<6> so you gotta factor that in
<6> ;)
