Title: The media is so ignorant sometimes...
Post by: DarkMinion on July 05, 2005, 02:33 PM
...it just makes me want to vomit, I swear to god.

They're on air bitching about global warming, then they show "smokestacks" on a nuclear reactor, saying "look at all that smoke, it can't be healthy for the environment."  What a bunch of retards.... ::)

Correct me if I'm wrong, but don't the smokestacks on a nuclear power plant exhaust steam?

I don't live anywhere near any place that uses Nuclear power, everything here is hydro (we have tons of water to spare).

Not really. Academia usually skips school because its teachers are too dumb.

Beh, That entire convention is pissing me off.
Blair says, "Lets crack down on pollution."
Bush says, "No, It'll hurt the US economy."
Blair says, "Ok, Lets go after China."

I'm pissed in general about giving Africa more money.

Its so back in forth with my support, Blair wants to double relief to Africa -1 to him, then wants to crack down on pollution +1.  Bush wants to make sure the governments in Africa stabilize before we throw money at them so +1, then he wants to dismiss harder pollution standards because it will hurt the people who pay his bills, -1.

I think Switzerland is non-actiely neutral (they just sit there)

I suppose the US & Britain would be actively neutral (they do good & bad stuff but it cancels out)

They're just using file footage to get their point accross. Doesn't mean they're stupid, just means they don't feel sending some guy to film smoke stacks.

Well come on...they're using footage of steam.  They could at least do a tiny bit of research first.
