U.S. Economy In Recession; Women, Minorities, and Bullshit Artists Hardest Hit [Vinnie]

I'm the evilest of evil Conservatives. I recycle nothing. Not a single can, plastic bottle, nor newspaper goes into our recycle bin. As a matter of fact, ever since our city put out recycle bins, ours has sat at the side of the house, doing nothing, because the whole recycling thing is one big scam. The only thing that would make me more evil would be clubbing baby Harp seals for their fur. If any moron wants to pony up the dough for a trip up north, though, I'm there.

CHARLESTON, W.Va. – Norm Steenstra's budgeting worries mount with each new load of cardboard, aluminum cans and plastics jugs dumped at West Virginia's largest county recycling center.

Faced with a dramatic slump in the recycling market, the director of the Kanawha County Solid Waste Authority has cut 20 of his 24 employees' work week to four days from five, shuttered six of the authority's drop-off stations and is urging residents to hoard their recyclables after informing municipalities with curbside recycling programs that the center will accept only paper until further notice.

"The market is just not there anymore," Steenstra said.

Just months after riding an incredible high, the recycling market has tanked almost in lockstep with the global economic meltdown. As consumer demand for autos, appliances and new homes dropped, so did the steel and pulp mills' demand for scrap, paper and other recyclables.

Why isn't there a market there? Because recycling is an expensive amount of utter bullshit foisted upon us by the EPA. Penn and Teller do a nice job of exposing this bullshit in their episode of, well, Bullshit. All three parts below the fold.

See you next Open Blog.

1 urging residents to hoard their recyclables

Hoarding is a mental disorder.  What's the word for when a liberal involuntarily lets the truth slip?

2 You are a courageous man, Open Blog, for withstanding the contempt and disdain of your neighbors, who in time will report your noncompliance to the appropriate authorities.

4 You should recycle aluminum cans by taking them down to the salvage yard yourself, then using the money to buy more beer.

Paper and plastic -- total bullshit.

10 Meh, my mother/father-in-laws recycle our newspapers. They use it to line their cats' litter boxes. Unfortunately, the cats would prefer to hold it than have to even look at our local newspaper. (Roanoke Times, it is a pitiful paper, and to the left of the NYT.)

12 Those items that make sense economically to recycle today will by the law of supply and demand be plucked from the waste stream (alluminum was even before the recycling movement). In the future when other items in the waste stream have value these landfills will become mines. We will have consolidated stuff to a fairly small footprint of land over time and an efficient mining operation can take over when the price is right. And by price I mean efficency in peoples time and the energy to run the equipment/proccesing.

Our city a while back went from picking up both recycle and garbage every week, to picking recycle and garbage on alternate weeks -- and they didn't raise the price!  Half the service at the same price means double the cost to me, by golly. 

Anyways, I started recycling big time then.  I know handling the recycle items them more, so anything that can possibly be recycled gets 'recycled' at my house.  It all ends up in the same landfill out of state anyway, but who cares.  I also let my neighbors put their extra garbage in my mostly empty garbage bin.

I also compost and raise worms.  Worms and compost are HUGE producers of carbon dioxide.  Life is good.

15 It got so bad in Cleveland, a few years ago, that the City had to pass a law making taking recycables a crime.  All to keep "street people" from making a buck taking the aluminum out of the waste stream, and profiting from it.

16 Recycling metals always makes sense, even when it doesn't seem cost effective. Why? Because we have damn few local sources for metals anymore which means we have to pay somebody somewhere, who most likely hates us, to get them. That's bad national security. Metals are not renewable.
Everything else should be burned to make electricity or composted if it rots.
Burning is recycling. So is composting, which is really all a landfill is, one big friggin compost heap.

17 I made a decent amount of money recycling the soda cans and water bottles used by my coworkers. It's amazing how many (diet) sodas people (supposedly dieting) will drink a day. I haven't decided what to do with the money yet. Granted, it's not a lot, but it ain't chump change neither.

Plus it's nice to get the CRV back.

18 So what this really boils down to is this.
Socialism's goal is to get people to work as hard as possible to make the Govt rich.

Capitalism's goal is to get people to produce enough to pay for the lifestyle they are willing to work for. (some people only need enough wealth to feed their fishing habit others have more expensive tastes)

I know the system I want.

However, I don't use the recycle bin that was freely provided for curb pickup.

My college (Middlebury, in Vermont...gag) put TWO recycling bins and one trash bin in each dorm room.  They then sorted all of the trash to make sure that no recyclables were being wasted.  Result???

Nobody effing recycled, because somebody at the other end was going to sort it all anyway.  Even if you "make" us recycle, people are going to do as little as possible anyway.  I wonder how much of my tuition was wasted on sorting garbage.

27 I don't recycle because I refuse to do something the sanitation department should be doing for me. If they want to sort the garbage, let them do it themselves. Or give inmates in the state prisons something else to do besides running their gang enterprises and lifting weights.

28 Recycling makes sense in China. They have a secondary industry at the trash heaps paying people to pick metals out of the garbage.

I recycle my aluminum cans. At 75 cents per pound (but prices are falling) it made great sense this summer. Now I'm down to 40 cents a pound and my cans are worth about $4 per month.

God I love beer.

Posted by: Nom de Blog at December 08, 2008 03:09 AM (nOQ1R)

29 Recycling without govt coercion is a double edged sword for the environmentalist. The times at which recycling is highest is when production is highest which is also when energy usage also highest. Good for the humans and bad for their religion. (I don't buy their crap so I won't say bad for the earth)

OK, you can make fun of me if you want, but how does this work? I don't even know where the salvage yard by me is.

OK, so we have Penn & Teller saying all this stuff, and then people in responses saying it's poorly researched. So who does a regular person believe and how do they know to believe it?
*********
I don't feel good re-cycling. I hate sorting through the shit, it takes up a lot of space on my deck, I have to haul the crap to the recycling center and last week I stepped in a large pile of water disguised by a layer of slush and wondered if I'd have fucking frostbite by the time I finished throwing it all in the seperate giant metal bins.
Although I suppose I could say I do enjoy the sound the glass bottles make when I toss 'em into the metal thingies. The level of pleasure is higher the more empty the giant bin is.
So why do I do it? Probably because I have been brainwashed.
*********
And that bitch in the middle (?) vid. That kind of shit ticks me off. Would she say to low SES parents, "You're lazy because you don't read to your kid"? No, of course she wouldn't, and rightly so. And for the same reason she shouldn't be presuming to pass judgment on people who don't re-cycle--she doesn't have a damn clue about their realities and what it takes for them to be able to do everything they need to do every day. If you want to support re-cycling, then support people by helping them find ways to do it instead of talking trash about them you stupid bitch.

Just some random thoughts.

32 Fireweed
Yes most big city waste streams run through a separation operation even though they ask us to do the separation at the curb. This is done as a mixture of subsidized/mandated percentages that are allowed by the govt. in the waste stream to the dump and they can make money off the steel and aluminum that is still put in the normal waste stream. Recycling compliance/efficiency is still less than 50% overall.

Posted by: Buzzsaw at December 08, 2008 03:40 AM (MOdlB)

33 "Do most sanitation departments sort all the stuff?"

No.  It goes from your curb straight into the back of the garbage truck, then straight into the landfill.  In a lot of places that have recycling bins (and some cities actually require you to use) , they quietly dump the "Recyclable" material straight into the same land fills because it costs too damn much to bother with.



Posted by: Andy at December 08, 2008 03:44 AM (4Wq+J)

34 Andy - this happens at my office. We're told over and over to recycle paper and then the cleaning ladies come in and put everything in the same trash bag and take it out to the dumpster.

I live in a small apartment building and recycling is mandatorty. The city says they'll fine owners if more than 10% of recycleables are found in the regular trash (yeah, like they can or would check - haven't seen a garbage man do it once). The result is our poor landlady (not the building owner) ends up going through the trash bags in the damn dumpster to ensure tennants are recycling. Gross.

Well Vinnie if your county is like mine recycling is a big scam anyway. The EPA really has nothing to do with it. The major push by the recycling crowd has always been the so-called shortage of landfill space. They lost out on the argument of ground water pollution once the real investigations took place and they also lose every time someone investigates the so-called energy saving scam for recycling. In fact, the only things that are economically justifiable and energy justifiable for recycling are aluminum and scrap metal. Both of those were almost at saturation for recycling BEFORE the eco-idiots got involved.

 

But as I said, the EPA really has little to do with so-called forced recycling. It is the tax and spend socialists who are pushing this bullshit. What happens is the local government latch on to some group of “concern” citizen trolls who are pushing it as a “green” issue because they are stupid. The local gov then says “citizens demand it” and “something must be done for the kids”. Poof, recycling centers pop up for all your trash which must now be separated. All kinds of taxes and fees are  implemented to pay for said recycling (but none of the taxes that supported the past waste elimination are removed).

 

And “poof”; the county or city now has a new cash cow that can be milked as well as a new “jobs” program for all those nieces and nephews who are hard hit in the employment market.

 

Oh, what will happen here is another new tax will occur because "recycling" has become more expensive.

I'm not against having the common man recycling commodity raw materials, en-masse, but I shall not waste a second of my valuable time coperating with them.

I only recycle Computers, Big-box appliances, Bikes, Cars,  and Motorcycles.  Its FAR better I recycle the above hi-tech items than for me to recycle a million bottles or cans -  There are billions of people re-cycling commodity refuse, but very few people who can properly re-cycle modern technology items.  Thats why I dont recycle their items.

The loss of man-years when a 5 year old PC hits the dumpster (and is crushed as metal scrap) because of a clogged fan or loose SIMM is a technological travesty! 

The amount of man-years lost far overshines pedestrian recycling.

I have saved TONs of electro-optical-mechanical goodies! It would be a folly for me to waste even 10 seconds of my valuable time putting an empty 1gram aluminum can into a special container, then another 2 minutes to take and retrieve it from the curb - I could have fixed another "dead" computer by now!!!

Actually, P&T did reference a very well documented bit of work - just not at the end of that show, but in a later interview.

The book is "Rubbish - The Archaeology of Garbage".  An excellent scientific work, and in short, "recycling" (in quotes bc it isn't) is bunk...

The protest group says its activists occupied a runway that had been undergoing maintenance work.

The group calls itself Plane Stupid and says the protest before dawn on Monday was meant to criticize the government's decision to allow the expansion of Stansted Airport. It says aviation is the fastest growing source of carbon emissions.

46 Recycling is mandatory at my office, and whenever the subject comes up, management concedes that we don't make enough money to pay the cost of collection, sorting, and transportation. Recycling supporters say that we do it because "it's the right thing to do." Sounds like a religion to me, which is why discussing it with a devotee is always so fruitless. These are the people in the office that spent the last 8 years bitching about the "religious right"

Not that it's curbside service. There's just a place you can take stuff.

Nominally Republican Gwinnett County Commissioners welcome our new Greenie  Overlords , Initiate Glorious People's Garbage Directorate:

RINOs Are Real: Meet Charles Bannister and the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners

Posted by Erick Erickson (Profile)

Meet Charles Banister. He is the Chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners in Gwinnett County, Georgia.

Ostensibly, Charles Bannister and the bulk of Gwinnett County is Republican.

Ostensibly.

From the AJC:

    While neighboring counties encourage recycling, Gwinnett County’s new solid waste management ordinance puts teeth into it. The ordinance provides for a civil fine of $500 for violations, which includes those who fail to “source separate residential recovered materials.”

    Mandatory recycling is not common in metro Atlanta, but Gwinnett County Commission Chairman Charles Bannister said the move is in line with a state policy that local governments develop plans to reduce solid waste by 25 percent.

Ladies and gentlemen, a Republican County Commission Chairman in a Republican county in a Republican state is making it a crime to not recycle.

The kicker, of course, is that the county is also going to start putting the cost of garbage collection in property tax bills so residents won’t be able to keep track of the costs.

Let’s compare that to the Republican leaning county of Cobb, which is just west of Gwinnett. There, a private recycler is required to offer recycling services, but it is not mandatory.

In Democrat DeKalb County, recycling is voluntary with a $30.00 start-up fee for recycling containers.

In Democrat Fulton County, recycling must be offered by private haulers, but it is not mandatory.

In Gwinnett County? You get fined $500.00. And that was a Republican brain child.

You can reach Charles Bannister at 770.822.7010 or at Charles.Bannister@gwinnettcounty.com You might want to remind him what it means to be a Republican.

49 For years we have been able to shop for garbage services from multiple providers. Gwinnett just decided to arbitrarily cancel the private contracts between citizens and providers and enforce their own socialized garbage pick up.
No warning, No referendum, No communication.
The worst part of this is not just the recycling gestapo bullshit.
One old guy has 14 employees. He has been running his successful garbage company in Gwinnett for over 20 years. His American dream is done.

So in a slowed economy with job losses moving up, Gwinnett REPUBLICAN Commissioners decided to make a socialist power grab and force every private company out of business or out of the county.

Gwinnett County Commissioners have refused to answer emails or phone calls and have hidden behind the skirts of a privately owned organization called "Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful". All calls are referred to these greenie hippies who can't /won't answer  ANY specifics about the "plan".

Our " Republican" Commissioners are pulling this shit when many people are struggling with job losses and all the fallout from having socialist in the White House, and don't have time to screw around with defending our damn GARBAGE from our ELECTED OFFICIALS.

I live in Gwinnett. The conservative citizens are going berserk over this. It has been on Drudge and Redstate for 3 days so we are getting the word out.

I found out about it when the NON GOVT organization that the Commissioners are hiding behind " Gwinnett Clean and Beautiful" sent me a letter advising me that they are TERMINATING my current contract with a private collection service and that I have to pay the cancellation fee. I went ballistic , started researching and contacting folks and found out it is true.

We currently have a strong citizens group that is getting larger by the day. What we really need is for people to email the commissioners about this fiasco. They are on were on a retreat this weekend and we have been told that their emails are forwarded to their Blackberries. ..chirpbuzzchirpbuzz..   heh.

While we don't recylce in town, they do on the Air Force Base. We were on base for something a couple months ago and in an office there. My daughter saw a recycling bin and got all excited. "Look, it's a real one, just like on TV!"

I'm going to have trouble adjusting to the real world whenever we move. Recycling, people yammering about not using "too much" water, etc.

51 My BFF recycles everything she can, composts and she burns all her paper in her fireplace to help heat her house.  Trust me, it's not (just) because she's an enormous Commie but it's because she pays by bag at her local dump.  So it's more economically viable for her to recycle.  She knows damn well that it's a scam but she's more than happy to make her local government pay the cost.  She longs to be able to dump everything at the curb and have someone pick it up.

As far as the burn barrel thing, well, that's great until burn barrels get outlawed due to aesthetic reasons.  I mean, when the city folk move to the woods for the scenery, you can't have them stump toothed yokels continue to burn shit.  Hell, in my mom's neighborhood down South, she can't even hang a laundry line outside.  This really ticks her off, she know has to run the dryer when there's a perfectly fine source of energy to dry the clothes right outside the window.

It sounds like ya’ll have it easy. We here in a small southern town/county (supposedly conservative) must:

 

1. Separate all garbage into all of about 15 different categories. (3 different colored glass, 3 different plastic, aluminum, steel, copper, and general scrap metal, newspapers, magazines, cardboard)

2. Place food/garbage in special bags sold by the county. These bags are of lightweight inferior grade plastic such that one must first place your garage in a commercial good bag before placing it in the county bag.

3. Rinse clean all containers and discard the lids with “garbage”.

4. Haul the trash to the “recycle center” and place the different items in the special item containers and the garbage in a separate compactor container.

5. Pay a special recycling/waste disposal fee on our property tax every year in addition to all the taxes we paid for waste disposal before recycling.

56 I live in Massachusetts and we have a 5 cent deposit on bottles and cans.  It's a joke.  NOBODY, and I NOBODY, redeems them.  I tried it when I first moved here almost 5 years ago and I gave up because it was such a pain in the ass.  I have tried giving them away and nobody wants them.  I once walked up to a bum standing outside a convenience store and asked HIM if he wanted 10 trash bags full of beer cans and he said no.  Even bums can't be bothered.  Once, and only once, was I able to give them away.  I happened to come across a Boy Scout can drive so I stopped and told one of the guys there that if they knew anyone with a pick-up they could come to my house and collect about 40 trash bags full of beer cans I had accumulated in my back yard.  It took him 6 trips. 

There are machines for redemption all over my town and you almost never see anyone using them.  Why?  Because they don't fucking work half the time.  The last time I tried using one it took me more than 35 minutes to get it to accept about $2.35 worth of cans.  I didn't even get through half a trash bag before I got so frustrated I gave up. 

A few weeks ago I paid a trash removal company to come out here and clean up my yard.  They took about 10 bags of cans.  Right now I'm back up to 8 bags.  If anyone lives anywhere near Clinton MA and wants them email me at LCAMP36905@COMCAST.NET.

Good grief, Vic. Here (on the Texas Mexico border) we have the best recylcing program: anything you put out on the curb the night before trash night will be picked up by someone and fixed/cleaned/used as is by someone who needs it. We haven't had to go to the dump for stuff the garbage trucks won't take because someone always takes it.

Entropy, we have had very little rainfall for a while, but floods upriver had the lake so full they had to let some water out (and flood some people's homes). So we're using the water that didn't fall on us, but came along anyway...close enough!

58 In the early 90's, the New York Times and Boston Globe both had in depth articles about recycling.

The funny thing is: they came to the conclusion that recycling was worthless, a net drain on energy and resources. Even stuff like aluminum can recycling was at best a break even proposition and most of the time a net loss in energy to making it from ore.

They said it less bluntly than that, but the conclusion was the same: the only reason to recycle is to feel good about something that does nothing.

Also, strangely enough, most of the recycling businesses in recycling mandated areas were run by cronies and family of the local politicians. Imagine that.

I live in Massachusetts and we have a 5 cent deposit on bottles and cans.  It's a joke.  NOBODY, and I NOBODY, redeems them.

Au contrarire.

I live in Boston and work out of my home and as I type, the can patrol is at work outside my window.  We have trash pick up twice a week, trash is left in the alleys in the Back Bay.  There is an entire culture of people who rummage through the trash twice a week for cans and bottles, some are even organized as a small business with established routes.  They come equipped with shopping carts, wagons, even bicycles with modified saddles bags to hold all the cans and bottles.  I shit you not.

We have two choices, seperate the returnables in seperate bags or let them the can patrol rip open garbage bags in search of the booty.  Its a pain in the ass to seperate eveything but it beats picking up the garbage after the onslaught.

It's not just water, it's treated water that you are conserving. The water treatment plant that you are getting your tap water from does not have unlimited capacity. I suppose you could use your lake water if you want.

I see inflation hasn't really hit the deposit business just like it hasn't hit the stripper business.  I remember collecting bottles as a kid and getting about the same return.  

As one comedian pondered inflation and noted that you still put a dollar into a strippers g-string, he wondered what they did in the old days.  Put quaters in a tip jar?

As everyone here has said, recycling of everything but metals is a scam advocated by eco-idiots who have the scientific knowledge of a creosote post and politicians interested in only one thing, getting reelected and skimming money from the taxpayers.

I lived in Michigan for 10 years and they had a .10 cent deposit on any fizzy drink (beer, pop)..  after a while, it would add up..   it also got very annoying if you didn't take the bottles back after a while..   

when we moved to Virginia.. the city has a couple of bins set up for cardboard..  it was very nice to get rid of the empty boxes after unpacking everything..

Recycling here is like a second garbage day.. no need to separate the cans from newspaper..  through everything in the bin and set it out on Friday..

they ask to have the cans and jars rinsed clean.. but they never check during pick-up.. through it all in the truck and move on as soon as they can..  Schedule to keep and all that.

In cities that are going to make it mandatory soon their will be a recycling secret police who will peek in at night at your garbage to make sure your quota is being kept..

Aluminum cans:

 

Aluminum cans have always been the thing that was worth recycling and they are still the thing worth recycling (besides copper etc).   I do not turn that in to the county. The local fire station collects those and hauls them to a real aluminum recycler and sells them with the money going to a Shriner’s children burn center.

 

As for glass pop bottles when I was a kid you could get 2 cents each for them and everyone took them. As the price escalated to 25 cents deposit people quit buying the glass bottles and started with the cans and then plastic and NOBODY would take the glass bottles back.

75 If my kids see me throw ONE GODDAMN PIECE OF PAPER in the trash, they will pull it out of the trash and put it in the recycle bin. I've taken to purposefully throwing recyclables into the trash - right in front of them - just to make them trash-dive to retrieve it.

Here in the 'burbs of Ft. Worth, we have city-issued recycling bins and they pick them up once a week (trash is twice a week), no sorting glass from soda cans or anything, so it's habit, mostly, for me. However, I've had a two-week cold from hell, and every damn thing is getting thrown into the trash. I just don't give a damn right now. It amuses me to imagine how quickly my kids' heads would explode if they saw me throwing away not only paper, but plastic water bottles and such, too. Their (public school) teachers have them trained thoroughly.

You would have been hauled off to jail if you did that at the site I worked when we had construction. We had special bins for scrap copper and steel because their value was so high.

 

Hell, this past summer scrap copper got so high that thieves climbed on top of the local animal shelter and ripped the cooling coils out of the air conditioners to sell for scrap. Poor cats and dogs had a tough time because there was no money in the budget to replace those units until a charity drive was organized.

82 Jaynie59, sounds like what your town needs is more illegal aliens!  I live in LA, where we have curbside recycling.  Our house (a duplex) has 2 regular trash bins, one big-ass recycling bin and one bin for "green waste" (lawn clippings and stuff).  Between me and my landlord, we pay $75/mo (plus huge city taxes) for the once-weekly pickups.  The revenue from the recycled materials was supposed to offset the cost of recycling.  However, we have hordes of hispanic people who cruise the neighborhoods and steal all the glass and cans out of the recycle bins.  Some of them use stolen shopping carts for the purpose, most of them drive their own vehicles.  The city does nothing to stop this and it's been annoying the crap out of me for years.

Fuck it, after reading this thread, from now on, I am just tossing everything into the garbage and they can root through rotting food and used cat litter if they want the stuff.

Hahaha, the crying Indian commercial. That was a real fraud. Everything about it was a fraud including the damn Indian who was 2nd generation Italian.

 

Not only was he a fraud, but using the native Americans as an example of environmentally conscience group is a big fraud as well.

 

The pre-European Indian groups were nomadic in nature and maintained a large open garbage pit down-wind from their camp. All their trash and leavings were dumped in this open cesspool and left. When it got to be too much to bear they just picked up and moved to a different location and did the same thing.

The only thing that was different was that their population was a lot lower so it took longer to make a really big mess.

I live in New Hampshire, each town does their own thing for trash.

Where I live now, you pay 1.65 for each blue town trash bag you put out once a week.  You can recycle to lower your need for the bags...your recyclables are your only "free" trash removal.

If you don't do it correctly they attach a trash ticket to the side of your recyclable container that should be used to attach the tile on the space shuttle, they never come off.

I like cheaper trash fees, so I recycle.  I think it is a scam, they really toss most of it. I am OK with their hypocrisy, and it keeps them busy.

I think that our local trash pickup is supposed to limit the amount of trash bags they take from my house but a good tip every Christmas ensures that they take everything.  They do this right after drinking the beer that my neighbor across the street leaves out every morning.

Posted by: Hedgehog at December 08, 2008 03:51 PM (aDOKh)

107 Ya want the truth? YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH!
Okay, you prolly can but who cares?
DO I recycle? No, actually, I don't, but because my county, here in lovely bucolic
Western North Carolina allow you to pack in one bag of trash for one bag of recyclables, no charge. So I separate the cardboard, which they sell, at a small profit, the metal and the other crap. The 'other crap' goes into unsorted bins and goes away, probably to another landfill. The scrap and cardboard are sold to the folks who recycle metals and who make cardboard boxes for shipping stuff.
They like the cardboard since it is easy to rework and make useful again. The other crap? Glass? Sure I toss it into the 'other crap' bin and it shatters and I get a laugh out of it. But factually I just do this because the city eats my trash bill and I live so far out no one picks up trash in my neck of the woods.
Win/Win. I drop my crap at the city's expense, I do it on the ride from work, without a detour actually, and haven't paid for  trash removal since 2003. I like Corona beer and it's a challenge to get those thick ass bottles to bust in the bins, but I do my best.
Am I an eco-freak? Hell,no, I also have a real steel burn barrel in my side yard and let her rip whenever there's something I'm unwilling to hall.
You realize how much joy I get from burning a full sized mattress or burning an old La-Z-Boy recliner down to the springs?
I even got paid for the scrap value of the spring steel.
Life is good.
And to the eco-freaks: jammit you turds, I'm using your system against you and putting  the money saved toward beer and ammunition.
Bite me.

I thought that you should be a very fashionable attractive person, then

I suggested that you want  buy rolex watches or buy beautiful omega watch, In here everyone  have one replica watches  in our young

people.Because, the fashion  and  the quality will be equal to the

replica watches  , but the price will not actually  the omega watch .

to be expensive, it is  very cost-effective

It is amazing that some people are so short sited, I am not the best at recycling....but to tell anyone to hoard anything is just shy of mental instability. But then when I read that you would club baby harp seals, maybe I should take the time and money that I do have and come club some sense into you.

Sad that there are so many uneducated conservatives that write this garbage, but then we had W as a president and Cheney as the VP and thats what they are I think that speaks for itself......so your pathetic attempt to use to Las Vegas half wit comedians as a justification for your attitude about  recycling is not unexpected.

It appears that ignorance is bliss for some people who call themselves conservatives in the name of being claimed by someone or some group. Were you left out of the "popular" group in high school and making up for it now....

LOL   Pathetic that is what describes you and your illogical thought processes.
