www.youtube.com/watch?v=kI2v_Rhbnv4There has been a significant rise in birth defects and other fatal disorders as a direct result of uncontrolled pollution in China but it's the environmentalists that we really need to worry about? Now there's some rock solid logic. Who really hates mankind? Population reduction you say? Well who's actually doing the God-damn poisoning around here?!?! I don't think it's the people who care about polar bears and whales. Chinese industry is killing its own people. www.youtube.com/watch?v=OR8WInWv5eQ.................................................................... www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHCwsp3EszoNews24 on pollution www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReFLsrT5nIADon't mess with Texas!!!

Why are you even trying to attempt to draw comparisons of Chinese pollution and US pollution.
China has next to NO emissions laws...where as the USA has some of the toughest around.
Why the heck do you think the USA is DE_industrializing and companies are leaving?
Nafta/gatt #1
Strict environmental laws #2

Why are you even trying to attempt to draw comparisons of Chinese pollution and US pollution. China has next to NO emissions laws...where as the USA has some of the toughest around. Why the heck do you think the USA is DE_industrializing and companies are leaving? Nafta/gatt #1 Strict environmental laws #2 Why? Because you won’t acknowledge that noxious pollution can once again become a major liability to us if left unchecked. Because I’m choosing to use a real life example of what happens when governments carelessly decide that environmentalism is a foolish waste of time and resources. It ends up hurting (even killing) people both financially and physically in the long term. The current situation though degrading steadily in the past few years in the US thanks to Bush is by comparison much better than China I admit. But it’s because of the thankless efforts of real environmentalists who have fought for those standards. True environmentalism is about mankind’s healthy and peaceful coexistence with the natural landscape around him which provides him with the food, water and air which he needs to exist. It’s not about sacrificing one for the other’s benefit as some radicals have proposed. It’s a self-sustaining, self-reinforcing system, which supports life. I feel the way that I do because I care about humanity, not because I despise it. I’m not even saying that you don’t care Mech. It just appears that we have much different perspectives about what’s intrinsically valuable and what isn’t. Why do I think that our companies are leaving? The primary reason is that they’re greedy, disloyal, America hating traitors, number one. Because we’ve eliminated our much needed protectionist policies, number two. Because they wish to avoid contributing to our crumbling infrastructure and funding Bush’s wars by avoiding paying taxes via offshore subsidiaries, number three. Because they wish to exploit slave labor overseas, number four. Because they wish to take advantage of China’s historically poor environmental standards which is harming the innocent Chinese population as we speak, number five. Let them and their families live in China I say if they desire that world so much. If you notice, the owners of these off-shoring companies despite their love affairs with China don't even want to live in that cesspool. They always come back to the US. As Ralph Nader has said, it doesn’t have to cost as much to regulate as corporations would like us to believe and could actually save money in the long run. Insurance companies especially are pushing for such efforts because they too can see the writing on the wall.
