| Come on nonsmoker. Although I think that usually people on this board are too hard on you, this one is just plain stupid. This topic in no way relates to Japan any more than any other place in the world. There are plenty of places on the net to discuss global warming. Unless you can find a uniquely Japanese aspect to global warming to discuss this forum isn't the place for such discussions. I'm trying to like you man, but you got to do your part. |

| Indeed. Please don't litter up the forum with junk like this. If you really must get it out of your system SOMEHOW, do it on the General Discussion forum... |

Right now, I'm actually contributing to global warming. See, I'm pushing buttons on my keyboard and clicking my mouse, which uses more electrical energy than just, say... reading someone's post. This, in turn requires electrical energy producing power plants to work harder to meet the energy supply needs of the people in the major metropolitan area in which I live. If coal burning plants are used to generate the energy, then greenhouse gases are produced and the problem of global warming is increased. Here's a link with some useful info:

Considering the inordinate amount of nonsmoker posts, and the amount of responses that each one gets, it's likely that the problem of global warming has been made worse by not only the OP himself, but by those of us who've responded.
Shame on us.  |

What's your favourite cheese?
I bought some really nice camambert the other day and some Boursin. I ate it with some red wine. Really nice it was. |

I've got a bike.
You can ride it, if you like.
It's got a basket,
A bell that rings
And lots of things to make it look good.
I'd let you have it if I could,
But I borrowed it.

Look at this. It's from the DPRK's news agency:
| Quote: |
Heightened Vigilance against Imperialist Method of Aggression Urged
Pyongyang, June 10 (KCNA) -- The carrot-and-stick strategy is a hackneyed method of aggression employed by the imperialists, and the world people should sharpen vigilance against the imperialists' cunning and vicious moves for domination, Rodong Sinmun today says in a signed article.
The imperialists use the stick as an effective means in realizing their wild ambition for domination, the article notes, and goes on:
The U.S. ruling quarters are overpowering other countries and wantonly violating their sovereignty by military strength in disregard of the accepted international norms and regulations and international laws in a bid to submit the world to their own will. This is an intensive expression of bellicosity, shamelessness and ferocity of the U.S. imperialism, the kingpin of aggression and war seeking to dominate the world with the military whip.
The imperialists also use the carrot strategy in other countries. This does not mean change in their nature of aggression, and it is intended to attain their aims of domination by beating those countries with appeasement policy.
In recent years the U.S. has intensified the offensive of "export of democracy" in different regions and countries of the world including the Middle East region. It is an extension of the carrot strategy.
The imperialists regard the bourgeois ideological and cultural poisoning as an essence of the strategy of "spread of democracy" and attach great efforts to this. The U.S. is intensifying the psychological and strategic broadcasting towards different countries including the DPRK, Cuba and Iran while spreading through various channels and means the reactionary bourgeois idea and the rotten Yankee way of life and culture among the peoples in an attempt to bring about change in their idea and mentality. It is the calculation of the imperialists that they may easily achieve by carrot what they fail to do by whip.
The imperialists would offer "aid", "cooperation" and "loan" to other countries as if they show generosity. But, such offering does not come from their honest mind for sincere help to those countries and it is by no means for their prosperity. It is a means for securing their economic interests and realizing political and economic subordination and domination.
It is the bitter lesson taught by the present international situation that if any country cherishes illusion about the imperialists and implicitly follows them without heightened vigilance against such tactics, it cannot defend its own idea and principle in the revolution and construction and even it will be deprived of its sovereignty. |
