95% of plastic in the oceans comes from 3rd world
Owly replied to Argus's topic in Health, Science and Technology
That is of course true. Contrary to what argus tries to claim, the majority of the plastic waste in the waters of developing countries is shipped there from first world countries, like the US. Especially since China has curtailed it's acceptance of it for recycling. This year’s ban on foreign waste imports by China, previously the world’s biggest importer of plastic waste for recycling, has left western countries scrambling to offload its extra plastic waste. The US, along with Britain, Germany, Japan and Mexico, is among the biggest exporters of scrap plastic to China. Read more Campaigners said the analysis, which Unearthed shared with the Guardian, shows the US is exploiting developing countries where there is no regulatory framework to ensure plastic waste is processed in an environmentally friendly way. “Instead of taking responsibility for their own waste, US companies are exploiting developing countries that lack the regulation to protect themselves,” said John Hocevar, Oceans campaign director for Greenpeace USA. https://www.theguardian.com/global-development/2018/oct/05/huge-rise-us-plastic-waste-shipments-to-poor-countries-china-ban-thailand-malaysia-vietnam -
The Slow Painful Death of the Trump Administration
Owly replied to Iznogoud's topic in Federal Politics in the United States
I see so it's just "humor" when your buddy trump kisses fat kim's arse, but it's a serious problem (for you) when our PM deals with one of our largest trading partners. Go to your dictionary under the letter "H", follow along until you find the word "hypocritical" and try to comprehend how your comments are completely that. -

I thought anyone who follows trump like you would have heard him say "we fell in love" when referencing Kim Jung Un, who is in fact a murderous dictator. He also is good buddies with Vladi Putin, trusts him more than his entire intell community, and enjoys dancing waving a sword with the likes of MBS in Saudi. Don't know how much more evidence you need. -

You can love trump all you like. Just keep in mind he claims to love murderous dictators. There is that old saying though about "the company you keep" to consider. -

Trump is not smart enough it seems to be a good liar even though he does it so much. He gets caught red handed every day. -

So you really have nothing of substance to say about Trump, and perhaps you are willing to ignore his horrendous list of lies. He's apparently got you hook line and sinker. Most Americans luckily are not so gullible. -

"not super smart" ha ha, that has to be the understatement of the year. Schiff actually has an IQ, Trump's is around room temperature. -

If you think Trump looks smart, especially compared to Schiff you haven't listended to Trump speak. Especially the embarrassing garbage he spewed most recently in Michigan. Grade school attempts at insults and peppered with outright lies. Why you think that is somehow "smart" is your problem. -

It's actually Trump who looks stupid, do you not read well. Or do you get your little jollies with Trump calling Schiff a "pencil neck" and all the rest of his "bullshit" -

Oh so now Trump is authorizing nuclear technology to be sold to the Saudis so they will be able to build their own nukes. I'm sure there is nothing to fear from the likes of MBS! -
How do you know what media/sources to trust?
Owly replied to JamesHackerMP's topic in Media and Broadcasting
Just hearing that the full Mueller report will be released, minus redactions by mid April. I imagine Barr wants to get the file off his desk. Could be interesting. -

Well just a few things there, first exoneration is not a technical legal term, but in any case so far, according to Barr's 4 pager there is not enough evidence regarding certain issues to proceed with charges, but that does not mean the record is wiped clean. As to the collusion issue, I'll wait to hear what more comes to light from the Trump Tower meeting, which tends to reek of suspicion of collusion. Trump himself may not have had direct collusion but one would have to be a little naive to think with his close connections to people in that meeting, including his son in law, that he didn't get insights. Trying to re-flog the Hillary case after it's long since been in the rear view mirror is typical Trump obfuscation attempts. I'll wait until I hear the actual Mueller report, not Trumps appointee's 4 pager when there are apparently over 300 pages in the report. And if you think it was just a phony investigation look at the criminal charges that evolved from it, especially regarding so many of Trumps closest allies. This case is far from over, even though Donald rants on about "full exoneration" and of course we do know from what Barr did divulge is that the report did not say there was no collusion with the Russians, simply that there was just not sufficient evidence to make a legal case. -

I see you fail to appreciate the difference between the eloquence of the speech Schiff delivered in the senate yesterday and the dishonest, childish blubbering Trump delivered to his base of course, then I assume you are a part of his base. -

Trump demonstrates yet again what a complete, childish A holel he is as he tries to mock Schiff during his latest little rally speech. https://www.cnn.com/videos/politics/2019/03/28/trump-mocks-adam-schiff-jerry-nadler-rally-sot-vpx.cnn/video/playlists/this-week-in-politics/ -
Canada needs to stop being China's bitch
Owly replied to Argus's topic in Federal Politics in Canada
Seems pretty easy for you ti ignore the state of the economy your namesake handed to Obama and how he improved it over his two terms. Trump is riding along on the crest of that wave while he drives the debt through the roof. -
