Some of the most dangerous and toxic work known to man--
Ship breaking in Bangladesh/Pakistan and the third world in general

Its only exponential if our population is growing at an exponential rate. This is true in Africa and other third world nations, although it is slowing in the richer nations. I don't mind the one-child policy of China to counter this trend and think that it should be forcibly applied to other 3rd world countries that don't take this seriously.

I would be interested in knowing what your solution might entail?

This is actually pretty common in third world countries where they have to make do with the equipment and transports they have.

We can afford to be the way we are because we exploited (still do) the fuck out of third world nations. Exploited = people's lives and suffering. At best we can all claim ignorance for our economic drunk driving homicide but the point is moot.

The greater point is; put us through a real recession and see where this humanity lies. No, not this fake crap we went through to enrich the rich with unemployment and trading. I mean where people can't buy food or gas. Where government programs don't exist. I mean where children are massively starving in the street.

I am highly disenchanted that this is the best we have come to because we can afford it. Some sorry shit we have created with billions in abundance. I believe in Marx's ideas of capitalism exploitation (Though hold no faith in his communist beliefs,) Webber's views on logical thoughts for the dollar and how it will fuck us over, and Carlin's views on how shitty we are--at our greatest pinnacle.

What an adorable girl! There's something really "adult" about her mannerisms and capability that probably comes from growing up in a third world country.

Laughing all the way to the third world.

Well, you mention the unborn, yet on the main the thinking in environmental circles is that we have too many humans and that the Earth is unable to support them. Therefore, abortion (over 70 million unborn children murdered in the US since the 70s) is to be embraced, and even more extreme methods of population control are not only openly pondered, but have resulted in mass sterilization programs which have been mercilessly implemented in third world countries. Here are some of the greater atrocities committed in the name of preserving "mother earth":

Among the intellectual elite, human lives are reduced to being paid the same consideration as one might the lowly cockroach. Contrary to your assertion, it is the Christian who affirms the sanctity of life and the inherent value of every person, whereas it is the opponents of Christianity that affirm infanticide:

Dawkins approves of infanticide

If you would reread my prior comment, you will see that I am in agreement with @RFlagg that we should be good stewards of the Earth. However, the mania of the environmentalists is to devalue human life and subordinate it to their misguided notions of preservation. The sickness of this world is sin, and the only one who can cure it is God. This world will continue to degenerate until the Lord returns because it is in rebellion against its Creator:

2 Chronicles 7:14

if my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land.

Well, the U.S. is the country that holds title to the largest civilian massacres in history, though I suppose if you counted up the total civilians killed, China might beat the U.S. by a bit.

In most other ways though China and some third-world countries have the U.S. beat for corruption.

Defending 11k dead people yearly by comparing it to accidental deaths is retarded to the core. Yeah, compare murder rates to third world countries...that'll help.

For some third world countries, I wouldn't be surprised if weapons trade wasn't holding up some economies.

"Seems like we're a thrid world nation"

Wtf? What third world nation has guns like that? Rocket launchers like that aren't cheap. It seems a very American problem to have "too many guns".

The card packers is an old vid and always amazed me. I would be sooooo jobless in those third world countries.

I am very curious on the need for coal consumption. It could just be my area - Up here in Canada, we use Hydro Electricity. Coal just seems like such a third world product. It's dirty, anti-envomental, toxic and shortens the lifespans of all who mine it.

Sure it gives people jobs, but given the choice between a longer lifespan and backbreaking labour and a shortened lifespan you would think they would be moving away from coal if possible.

And WTF is "clean coal?"

@grinter eww... cannons are so third world.
