How Clean is your House?
by morty inhow clean is your house?.
i just love this show.. kim and aggie run into some pretty disturbing homes i must admit.
i am certainly not on the list of the most disgusting homes but, dont have the most organized house on the street..... i like cleanliness in all parts of my home( cat litter empted, dishes cleaned, bathroom area very sanitary, floors cleaned, carpets vacuumed, garbage emptied if full, candles burning, the furniture and carpet deodorized daily, the dog has to be bathed regular, ash trays dumped and cleaned every time i finish smoking in the back room, and finally, the supper dishes must be done before i go to bed... i could not give two sh*ts if the bed did not get made properly, the kids room has dirty laundry on it or all their junk, they dont have their beds made every day, the computer desk has bills/papers lying on it, the cats/dogs food runs out of dish, there is a cob web up in the corner of the living room, ( thats a great decoration for this time of the year anyways...lol) the wires are showing from the t.v and dvd player, there are a few pairs of shoes at the door at not put away on the shoe rack, there is a coat on the back of a chair instead of hung up, and the pillows and blankets are scattered all over the couch for comfort (at night only, not during the day unless it is the weekend).

Working with idiots is great, huh?
Excuse me, you keep calling this guy an idiot. He is a low down dirty piece of trash bastard that needs to be put to sleep. He is a molestor did you not get that ? Not just an idiot on the job but some sorry ass bastard that molested children. I think calling him an idiot was putting it just a little too lightly.

Resources will be gone by 2050
by oldflame inbeijing (reuters) - humans are stripping nature at an unprecedented rate and will need two planets' worth of natural resources every year by 2050 on current trends, the wwf conservation group said on tuesday.
populations of many species, from fish to mammals, had fallen by about a third from 1970 to 2003 largely because of human threats such as pollution, clearing of forests and overfishing, the group also said in a two-yearly report.. "for more than 20 years we have exceeded the earth's ability to support a consumptive lifestyle that is unsustainable and we cannot afford to continue down this path," wwf director-general james leape said, launching the wwf's 2006 living planet report.. "if everyone around the world lived as those in america, we would need five planets to support us," leape, an american, said in beijing.. people in the united arab emirates were placing most stress per capita on the planet ahead of those in the united states, finland and canada, the report said.. australia was also living well beyond its means.. the average australian used 6.6 "global" hectares to support their developed lifestyle, ranking behind the united states and canada, but ahead of the united kingdom, russia, china and japan.. "if the rest of the world led the kind of lifestyles we do here in australia, we would require three-and-a-half planets to provide the resources we use and to absorb the waste," said greg bourne, wwf-australia chief executive officer.. everyone would have to change lifestyles -- cutting use of fossil fuels and improving management of everything from farming to fisheries.. "as countries work to improve the well-being of their people, they risk bypassing the goal of sustainability," said leape, speaking in an energy-efficient building at beijing's prestigous tsinghua university.. "it is inevitable that this disconnect will eventually limit the abilities of poor countries to develop and rich countries to maintain their prosperity," he added.. the report said humans' "ecological footprint" -- the demand people place on the natural world -- was 25 percent greater than the planet's annual ability to provide everything from food to energy and recycle all human waste in 2003.. in the previous report, the 2001 overshoot was 21 percent.. "on current projections humanity, will be using two planets' worth of natural resources by 2050 -- if those resources have not run out by then," the latest report said.. "people are turning resources into waste faster than nature can turn waste back into resources.".

jgnat,
I agree that we ignore China to our peril.
Actually China is the leader today in pollutions and the USA is just under them.

Arguing on the Internet
by daniel-p inmost threads on jwd have little to do with the jw's, and more often than not, the most popular ones are political and philisophical diatribes, full of back-and-forth rhetoric that rarely comes to any meaningful and productive outcome.
most of the issues are repeats, the same arguments over and over, often with the same exact participants.
so how does it affect you?

I don't know if you realize but there is a action drop down box on the top of the page and it has many different topics to discuss. One being political. If there is a thread that you don't care to discuss then don't reply. It's pretty simple.

I hate it when they make me cry!!
by Scully ini thought i was pretty much immune to any jws being able to tug at my heartstrings anymore.. mr scully and i were out shopping this morning, when someone called my name and then grabbed me and gave me a big hug.
i hadn't seen her in over 15 years.
back then, she was a teenager and i was about 10 years older than her... but we hit it off really well and mr scully and i became really good friends with her and her parents.

Thought I'd have a coffee. Now I know why vending machine stuff always tastes like monkey urine!
Ian,
It never fails you always know how to make a guy crack up. You should of been a stand up comedian.
which resources are we talking about?
Oh I think probably oil and fresh water ? Eventually things go empty, anyone who thinks that oil will be around forever is only fooling themselves. Water, I just recently took a trip from California to Wyoming. I drove I-80 across and have done so many times over the years. I have never seen the lakes as low as they are now ever. Even the great salt lake is very low and I have never seen that lake like it is now. They cannot blame farmers because it is a salty lake and has no use for crops.
The weather has been changing recently to, it seems that it is getting hotter than normal the last few years. I being born in Washington state have been told by family that they are not getting the rain like they used to and they to are warming up drastically. So if anyone thinks that our resources will last forever are only fooling themselves. Those who say oh well I will be dead by then ? C'mon you mean to tell me that you have no love for your children and your children's children ? Because if you don't care because you will be dead then you really don't have much care for those you leave behind.
I think we need to as a whole earth begin to look for other resources and other methods, hell to be honest I would not mind going back to horse and buggy. I get sick and tired of stupid drivers and besides many more far less died from horse wrecks. LOL But I do think it is very important for all to not just think but begin to use different resources or even try conserving resources. We are all very wasteful in the use of our resources and it has made people as a whole lazy in many ways. Yes I say it is time we do, do something.
