Mexico is an opressive governement that is heavily supported by the US. I also don't se any connection between what Mexico does and what the US does. Australia uses the second most amount of water per person in the world and we are the driest inhabited continent - that's not the point, we still need to change and so does the US. The water you are stealing belongs to the world - what gives you the right to use water anymore than anyone else? Because you are 'morally' superiour?HighDemonslayer wrote:
Uses more water? Who's water are we stealing? Last I liked looked, Mexico was breaking their treaty and not sending any back into Texas.
Greenhouse emissions? Maybe you haven't noticed that brown cloud over Southeast Asia. Must have been American's buying cheap toys made by slaves in China.
Besides, the E.P.A. just said that "greenhouse emissions are not pollutants." If those rabid treehuggers say so , then it must not be that bad.
Eats more food? If we ate less, would that stop food aid from rotting on the docks of poor nations?
yeah, I'll say it again: Our culture is better than many piece-of-shit- nations-we-are-thankful-not-to-live-in.

The "U.S. eats to much, drinks to much, pollutes to much...." mantra is getting so boring.

The fact that other nations also produce greenhouse gasses mean nothing. A murderer is still a murderer if other murderers exist - I again don't see the relevence between south east asia and the US. The brown cloud over South East Asia is mainly caused by the massive forest fires from the summer before last that were so severe that they changed the weather conditions creating a more flamable climate. however all this doesn't change the fact that the US creates more greenhouse gasses than any other country and more per person as well (except possible for Australia - I've seen different statistics on the per person figures - both create a lot anyway). you have misquoted the E.P.A or they made a mistake - not all greenhouse gasses are "pollutents' depending entirely on your definition of pollutents. by not attempting to lower the amount of greenhouse gasses produced (and by not stopping US corporations from logging the Amazon0 the US is condemning many of the pacific islands to destruction - what a high and mighty thing to do.
Eat more food just demonstrate what a greedy nation the US is on a social level. Even other rich nations like Japan and Switzerland don't eat to the level of the US and Australia - It's obviously a cultural thing for both countries being on average overwieght and having the highest rates of obesity in the world.
Your standard of living may well be 'better' than many other nations but your understanding of what culture is is lacking and the US is also responsible for some of the most horrid standards of living around the world.
