I wonder how many people on this site know what an ID 10 T error is. Or a pebkac error...


Picnic error..

Problem in chair, not in computer. Or, Problem in couch, not in console. All depends on what you're referring to..

Sounds like what happened on Easter Island, only they died because of it.

You should see some of the old pics of new mexico before the mining and lumber industry came in about 100 years ago, so many trees you couldn't even see the ground, and they were every where. Now though its just prairie or barren land with a bush or two and maybe a shell of an old car, its pretty sad. If new mexico wasn't a desert before that happened, it sure as hell is now.

By the way, what pyromaniac said 2 pages back or so "english mother f***er, do you speak it?" is what Samual L. Jackson said in Pulp fiction in the beginning when he was getting ready to kill those kids. Not sure if pyromaniac was being a jerk (no offense) and its just a coincidence or directly quoting from the movie, but I just felt like mentioning it.

Cash and killjoy, the reason I brought that up is because Africa has done the same thing for the most part they've destroyed the enviroment.Where I am working, 30 yrs ago was a jungle,now its a desert with minor scrub brush.

I know what you mean, makes me really sad to think about it :( Living in South Africa I have first hand exerience, I see it everyday. It is the poor people that live in the squatter camps, they use up every resource available. :x

You can't exactly say that it's the poor who are devouring the world's resources - they scrape what they can to survive, but there's no way that someone without electricity, running water and vehicles more of a scourge to the environment than a richer person.

Actually yes, it is the poor that are destroying the environment .The poor in these areas lack the education to understand proper ecological techniques.When trees are cut no one replaces them, they go on to the next. Given a few years the environment is destroyed(hence why they are squatters).Plus, those who live like this take things 1 day at a time no thought towards the future,when there is excess it is wasted.Not a care is given as to what might happen to future generations it is all about the present.The mindset is what really gets them and the traditions of ancestors.The extreme poor are rooted in superstition and never strive to do greater than what they've seen.
)Demon( ,correct if I'm wrong but this has been my experience with Kenyans.I'm sure its very similar with all of Africa.

I can understand the poor's lack of sensitivity towards the environment as they struggle to survive, but they don't drive SUVs either...

I'm going to be 18 in like, less than 3 months. But, I built my first gun back when I was in 8th grade. Boy that thing was a piece of junk. It was a 2ft piece of 3in as the chamber and a 3ft section of 2inch as the barrel, and it used Aquanet as the propellant. Although, even though I live in the midwest (that's as specific as I'm getting in regards to my location), everyone who saw it thought it was some wild contraption that was going to explode when I first fired it. My dad even wanted me to remotely fire it the first few times.
I'm weird, I know it, you don't need to tell me.
