Thats it, I've been thinking about killing my TV and now I'm going to do it.

[comp_atkins]

Actually the plot is Harold and Kumar are in somewhere near Newark and the closest White Castle is in Cherry Hill.

Feel free to continue pointing out the plot holes in a stoner movie.

This is the best version, IMHO, read by Sagan himself, and someone who is a genius w/ film, and we all love film. Please please watch the whole thing.

The numbers I gave Ron, from 2006 WHO, and my ENVR 105 text I taught from:

As of 2006, the best most recent figures

The Haves = Developed Coutries = 1.2 Billion = 20% of worlds population [19% exactly]

This 20%, this one in five:
Have about 85% of the worlds wealth and income
Use about 88% of the worlds natural resources
Generate about 75% of the worlds wealth, and waste

The Have Nots = Developing Countries =5.1 billion = 80% of worlds population [81% exactly]

This four out of five:
Have about 15% of worlds wealth and income
Use about 12% of the worlds natural resources
Generate about 25% of the worlds wealth and waste

=

All the numbers above give a generalization that’s not far off: about 20% of Humanity owns 80% of the everything, and about 80% of Humanity has to share the remaining 20%.

=

Developing countries [Have-Nots] = where about 97% of worlds projected population increase will take place. Developing countries add one million people to the worlds population every 4 [four] days.

=

Myanmar

Even on the scale of the developing countries, Myanmar is in bad shape. One measure of a countries economic strength and the welfare of its people is GNI per capita PPP [Gross National Income per person in Purchasing power Parity].

World Average GNI per capita PPP = about $9,000 [2006]

Compare with…

America GNI per capita PPP = about $47,000
France = about $36,000 per person a year
Libya = about $11,000
Peru = about $6500
India = about $2400

Then things fall off the cliff with countries like…

Myanmar GNI per capita PPP = about $510. That’s Five Hundred and Ten dollars per person a year.

So, essentially stone age living in the region before the cyclone occurred. A question might be asked: why the outrage now?

[barjockey]

off to work making drinks for huntington's elite. I'll prolly get in trouble for being rude to some rich fatty cause i didnt flirt enough.

[chili]

DID I JUST BLOW YOUR MIND?

Yes, you just blew my mind!

[Freakshow]

China is catching up quick. And their one-child policy is resulted in a lot of little, spoiled, overweight children. Very American-like.

[A.J.]

Ron would love my grandmother's house: she still has a rotary phone, some ancient vacuum cleaner and one of the first model microwaves.

[Heather 8]

Growing up, we had push-button phones, but with the rotary sound when you dialed. My dad refused to switch over to the touch-tone sound for the longest time.

Pitzy "thats when flashes were invented - in the 80's".

:laugh:

[Hottub]

I never had my own TV as a kid.
And now my kids don't either.

[A.J.]

Pitzy was talking about flash cubes. I still have one of those cameras lying around.

[bobsnin]

One of my first memories is my mom using a camera with one of those cube flashes at a petting zoo. An ostrich bent down and bit the flash cube off and my mom choked it until it spit it up. I was frightened.

[Freakshow]

damn you youngins.

Pitzy "thats when flashes were invented - in the 80's".


jeez.


:laugh:

I am pretty young, but I remember a camera that had the disposable flash cubes.

[PD]

And now my kids don't either.

I let my kids have TV when they were older; 1 could handle it, but it was a mistake for the other one - and I had to take it out.

[Servo]

My parents have a central vac in their house, which was built in the early 80's.

Those little bastards would get amazingly HOT.

I burned the hell out of myself on flash cubes several times as a kid.

[Heather 8]

I always knew I was in trouble when I'd come home from school and the TV was removed from my room.

[A.J.]

"Can you call Piano's?"

[PD]

I am pretty young, but I remember a camera that had the disposable flash cubes.

I was just jokin' cause flash has been around since 1900's; and there were many types before the cube.

as for cameras though, many old SLR's are still great to work with.

[Friday]

I never had my own TV as a kid.
And now my kids don't either.

I was given a Pink Sony TV that just had the standard 13 channels... no cable... in my room when I was about 10 or 11. But I also had my own phone line so I guess I was pretty spoiled. lol

that TV lasted until two years ago!! my mom watched it in the dining room while she did her paperwork lol

[chili]

[Hottub]

I put it in my closet in my bedroom and would watch "Land of the Lost". My mom made me take it out of the closet and set it up on my dresser. I liked it in the closet. It was comfortable.

[PD]

love those old steam engines; whenever they have them at a vacation place I have to go on it.

[MadMatt]

Yeah!!!

The Strasburg Rail Road and the Rail Road Museum of PA!!!

One of the engines that my Grandfather used to Conduct is in that museum.

EDIT: Here is a link (http://www.strasburgrailroad.com/) if anybody is interested. And the museum (http://www.rrmuseumpa.org/).

My stepmom took my baby brother to that all the frickin' time. Thanks to Thomas the Tank Engine, he was obsessed with trains.

He grew out of that and moved on to the wonderful world of computer hacking.
