What scares me is that it seems that the only answer to this is some kind of communism. And th

I think that Rusutsu is a better place to ride the pow over Niseko. Now if it only had decent amounts of accommodation and nightlife.

Best to guide that momentum rather than attempt to stop i

Can anything in this thread be ???

But does it make any noise if there is no one there to hear it?

There have been increasingly large protests over the last few years at all the world leaders meetings. I haven't paid much attention until now. London is to host the G20 meeting on April 1 & 2 and the scale of the planned protests are scarily massive. http://www.guardian.co.uk/business/blog/2009/mar/23/online-guide-to-g20-protests I think it is time I informed my self. Ok protests at this meeting are understandable. People have been sacked and are angry, or are simply scared that they will be next so they are going to shout at anyone in authority. What I am having dif

Hahaha, caught! Maybe we should set up a web cam...

If I was the council and was to take this route I'd pick a couple of "sure wins" and make a media circus out of the prosecutions. Essentially some very loud sabre

Does anyone actually use it? It looks like it is in the middle of nowhere.

Wind blowing across the top of an empty bottle? woooOOOOOOOOOOooooooooo......

It fits in with my theory that the makers of a product should be responsible for its full life cycle. That includes disposal. I think the nature of products would change markedly if the manufacturers/producers had to deal with disposal of all parts of a product. I wonder how long it would take bef

On days when we weren't skiing we would go for treks up the mountains or out on the lake. Now is it because it is Canada people don't want to implement 100 changes there.

Wow, that will make such a difference. Those tolls stopped me going a lot of places. JR will take a hit and have to drop their prices. Damn shame that...

...you are suggesting that the council prosecuting people is the waste. I think they want a couple of high profile cases to scare people into recycling or make people think about it.

Why is recycling such a waste? (hahaha, pun intended ) Sure there are a number of problems with it in many parts of the world, but they can only be overcome by using and improving the system. Doing nothing will achieve nothing.

well yes. I wondered about that, but it looked funny. It would sound funny to say "Look who's typing now!"

I like talking

Yeah! Post some cheese on the forum! I want to try it too!
