Think about this when buying your next computer

Planning to go there and starve kids? Usually it's napalm for the kids when it comes to you Americans.

August proposed that a potentially dangerous job was better than starvation.

You proposed the theory that Americans intentionally drop napalm on children.

I propose that this was an unwarranted attack, and further propose that you be censured.

I propose the world stops shedding tears for stupid people.


When katrina rolled through here, and they said "get out". i got out.

all the idiots who stayed and got stranded cried foul when they were called refugees. Al Sharpton: "This is america, you dont call americans refugees!! thats just racist!!".

well im sorry, what should we call you? we cant call you evacuees.. because you didnt evacuate! you're a refugee.. live with it.

Yep, I answered August's comment with the type of answer it deserved.

But by all means, ban me and let SB & co. get away with writing several page long racist rants. Free speech, riiight.

Well reading this you will see that you are brigged.

You don't make reasoned thought out comments you just lash out with a straight attack usually at America and Americans with no rationale at all, and you like to call Skybird racist.

I don't agree with a lot of what Skybird writes but I wouldn't call him racist.

It just seems that you don't get it and can't see why you upset people. You can't have it both ways.

I normally wouldn't reply to someone who can't respond in kind, but I think this requires it.

What he meant was that if the choice is having a dangerous job or starving, by all means go with the dangerous job, though a non-dangerous job will be preferable. August never proposed that kids should starve. That kind of reverse comment is called sarcasm.

You can ban me for all you want but don't posture as some kind of bastion of free speech you ****ing racists.

Arguing, even forcefully, even passionately, is free speech. Direct attacks, including name-calling, are not.

So ummm...

Hey keep those same thoughts in mind when purchasing a hybrid car.

I would be willing to bet there are 10 times more heavy / toxic metals in one of those that most computers.

Yeah, that's so oldschool. They don't even use lead anymore in the manufacturung process anymore in processors. But you are correct, those hybrid batteries are really toxic, and they mine them up in canada. I don't remember what the metal is though.

[Dowly]

Salute Gutted.

I like your mindset, very similar to mine.

And I dont understand why people here are gasping over what you said.

True words, every single one of them.

You cant help those countries by paying everything to them, do you except that they really would want to start putting their backs into it and try and make their lives better when they can just sit put and let the western worlds pay everything for them?

Nickel Metal Hydride most likely Nimh they call them.

But other metals are involved as well fun elements like arsinide and lithium and gold.

But you find these in nearly all modern electronics.

I have issues with this article. I HIGHLY doubt that our old American computers are being shipped over to Nigeria to be dumped. That stuff is recycled here, either that, or they make their way to American dumps and get buried here. It's just another article bashing Americans.
