Bullshit on that stat Frosty.  We would be up to a tall crying Indian's butt in waste if that were true.  Americans recycle aluminum cans better than anyone else on the globe because there is money in it.  Everything else I will grant you there isn't much market for, or the regulations or demands to clean them up before disposing makes people simply say the hell with it.   But they still toss it in the garbage.  Darned few people litter as a habit.  Although the Monkey Wrench Gang . . . .

Powell,

Oh, my friend, you hurt me, but I'll trudge forward with this heavy load.  Gotta' tell you that I stand by those figures. We're one of the most wasteful if not THE most wasteful nation in the world.  That figure of 8 of 10 containers throw away came right out of the movie I watched.  If you go to any of the websites, you'll see their figures for our waste. It's beyond incredible.  Thanks, and, Happy Thanksgiving!  Frosty

Powell: indians aren't that tall.

Frosty: we might take comfort in future generations/species trying to figure out how vast deposits of this substance ended up on an unpopulated planet. Perhaps they will reason that we were trying to replace all organic matter with synthetic matter and that we must have succeeded in transforming ourselves into something independent of time and space and atrophy.

"Thus" they will tell their children, "did the rubber dinosaurs leave Earth and find their place in the shade of a cosmic plastic palm tree".

My ingrate and contradictory anti-littering mind: You garbage throwing, dirty littering American bastards, clean up! Or else ... thank you FP.com for not dumping my recycled immigration and population trash into the Colorado River, and out to the “Great Pacific Garbage Patch”... because Powell, my friend, that would really hurt me.  – Frostytute.

It is interesting to spice our sense of humor out of Frostytute’s response to Powell when Powell slammed his stat on anti-American garbage-dumping attack, calling it “Bullshit”! Frostytute to Powell: “Gotta’ tell you that I stand by those figures. The figure 8 of 10 containers throw away came right out of the movie I watched.”

Powell, I have been telling our readers all long that this guy has been writing as FACTS what he saw in the MOVIE …!!! Our reading public is conned, including you and me. You call it “bullshit” I call it trash.

Again, the numbers are verified by research and it was a DOCUMENTARY on container waste.  While Powell may have thrown an inappropriate name, I stand by the figures and you can verify at several Internet websites.  The GPGP is a symptom of the reality of horrific container waste at 3 million tons of floating plastic in the Pacific Ocean and all over our oceans.  Einstein was correct, "Greats spirits are always denigrated by weaker minds."  Backward dude represents Einstein's worst nightmare.

Frostytute, I am really sad to remind you all over again that you are throwing yourself under the bus of the environmentalist propaganda machine.

Recall -- if your mind has not already gone over the edge – the environmental propagandists’ recently circulated videos of a big jumping worm swallowing people on Earth, and exploding bodies including children by remote control? Here in your trash Article, you reported that you were similarly shown in film an outrageous environmentalist attack on ocean pollution, especially directed against the United States, and like a starving fish in the water that has no mind of its own, you swallowed it hook and sinker! Tsk.. tsk…tsk!

You are showing a strong spinal cord when you said you stand straight by your statistics on wastes matters dumped in the ocean you printed in your Article [Powell called it "bullshit"], which by the way, the propaganda machine had trapped you to believe. Look, if you happen to have a spinal cord only but no brain of your own, then you earned Einstein’ contempt.

"He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice. This disgrace to civilization should be done away with at once." Einstein.

It is not me Frostytute, but Einstein that is telling you that you are a disgrace to civilization.
