Signs of late capitalism - that creepy internet spying that watches every site you visit and then for the next several days will bombard you with irrelevant ads based on sites you have visited.
Last week I visited a couple of religious sites to get some info I needed to post a reply to a debate thread on another forum. Now when I go here and there I am being cajoled to buy bibles and religious textbooks. I don't want a bible. Actually, even though I am not a believer, I already have a couple sitting around - family heirloom stuff. Stop that, capitalist internet. Your desperation is showing.

Look on the bright side - all those poisons in our junk that the Third-Worlders are exposed to inevitably kill some of them off. It's a subtle form of population control. Every time you junk an old phone or computer and it goes off to one of those places you are helping to save the planet, in a dark sort of way.

Modern Tourism, mass tourism, low cost airplane companies
Modern Tourism, mass tourism, low cost airplane companies.
Quote:
In these conditions, a family of four persons going on holiday from London burns for a round trip to: Madrid: 420 liters of kerosene (about 3.5 barrels refined) New York: 2100 liters of kerosene (about 13 barrels refined) A safari in Kenya or Mozambique: 2500 to 2900 liters of kerosene Los Angeles: 3650 liters of kerosene (about 23 refined barrels) Rio de Janeiro: 3680 liters of kerosene (about 23 refined barrels) Buenos Aires: 4430 liters of kerosene (about 27 refined barrels) Bangkok: 3780 liters of kerosene (about 24 refined barrels) Johannesburg: 3500 liters (about 22 refined barrels) Bali: 4950 liters of kerosene (about 31 refined barrels) Sydney: 6800 liters of kerosene (about 42 refined barrels) Auckland: 7430 liters of kerosene (about 46.5 refined barrels) For a person traveling under the same conditions alone, you divide these figures by 4 and for a couple, these figures by 2. As example, what would you think if your neighbour (having 3 members in his family) would buy instead to travel to New York during 2 weeks, 13 refined barrels and burn them in front of his house... during the same period? |
