Okay, I‚d be the first to admit that, when writing that I was, in a less than sober state.

So let‚s start again.

I was just wondering, how, being in such a country as America, who‚s record is less than clean, can go about throwing the blame stick and demanding money from everyone else?

And to be frank, some of the information upon your website is quiet ridiculous, demanding money because of the Industrial revolution? The Black plague, which I‚m pretty sure you‚ll find out started in the East Asia, and way before America was even a separated country.

And, What, type of facts are these?

ŒThe Industrial Revolution. Beginning in the 18th century, Britain began making our lives worse through the introduction of machines in the workplace. The health, safety, and wages of workers took a back seat to owners' greed for ever-higher output and profits. The skies above the city˜first London, then the world˜were filled with black smoke. Waters were
poisoned with noxious chemicals. Under the careless watch Britain's elite, the Industrial Revolution got off to a horrible start, the consequences of which have continued to ring down through the centuries. The melting of the polar icecaps, the loss of countless plants and animal species, and the imperiled condition of the human race on a planet made poisonous by misapplied technology are all a consequence of British negligence and hunger to accumulate wealth at any cost.‚‚

Let‚s go though this.

1.) Œbegan making our lives worse through the introduction of machines in the workplace‚ What? What? This Sentence is so stupid I don‚t think I can dignify it with a response.


2.) The health, safety, and wages of workers took a back seat to owners' greed for ever-higher output and profits

Nike, Adidas Sound Familiar? This is quiet Hypercritical at best.

3.) The melting of the polar icecaps, the loss of countless plants and animal species, and the imperiled condition of the human race on a planet made poisonous by misapplied technology

I think you‚ll find, New York was just as bad in the mid 1920/3 ‚s as London Became, and this was unknown to everyone at the time, how can you blame the unknown mistakes of the past and ask us to pay for them too? America has the highest Co2 release of any First world country, and you blames US for Sitting back and ignoring the various agreements to try and shut it down on
a world wide basis?.

Perhaps this is more to your understanding, and you can try and give it an answer worth reading rather than trying to look smug at yourself.
