Yes, I love fish too... The thing is higher up the food chain contains higher levels of heavy metals. Bio accumulating, means sharks and swordfish contain much more than say whiting or mullet which are faster growing.
Ok, this is good, you can follow high school chemistry. In what form to they inject children with mercury or aluminium? is the mercury in a form that remethylates? remember the octet rule, and electronic configuration...Are the consequences of not injecting them likely worse?
It would be hard, if not impossible to live life without exposure to mercury or aluminium, ditto sodium and chlorine, I take it you would never eat barbecued meat, with all those benzine rings... Or drive a car, or use any form of plastic...
The CIA of the fifties, thats a different world to what we live in today.
If the government says wash your hands, it does not always mean they've done some kind of backroom deal with soapmakers to sell soap, or are trying to brainwash you somehow...
Sometimes it is what it is, and though it might feel clever to delve into it all via loony websites and propose ridiculous speculations, it isn't.
Weekend's going well... I dont usually watch movies, I watched 2 today. Brother where art thou, and the revenant. First was funny, second was a bit grim.
No I didnt travel around much at all unfortunately, it was 3 day stopover. Would like to spend more time looking around one day. A lot of places, westerners and backpackers just want to hang around with other westerners and backpackers, and not really be challenged at all... To me its a long way to go, to experience a suburban food court... Each to their own I guess.
I found, even in China, they make things bland for westerners. The restaraunt food was just like a Chinese eatery here, and completely different from the food bought from street vendors who didnt speak any English.
I would suspect Indian food would be the same thing, I can't handle the Bollywood music they feel obliged to play at distortion level for the authentic experience.
True story... A man was trecking through the desert with his camel. There was a big sandstorm and he became lost. Days passed, he walked behind the beast hoping its instincts would lead them to water. day after day, he watched the camels hips rolling as they roamed the desert. To cut a long story short, he started getting ideas, but every time he made an advance the animal would flinch and move away.
One day, he found a bottle containing a genie, so out she came and told him he would be granted just one wish. He thought for a minute about it, then said yeah OK,.. hold the camel down for me.
People aspire to be famous for no real reason, same as the Kardashians are. The TV producers string them along, promising fame and fortune, then ply them with alcohol to get dramatic footage etc., and if it suits their purposes better to make the person look foolish or devious thats just what they do...
And we the viewing public lap it up, feeling smug and superior. It brings in the advertisers spending the big bucks.
b... They dont want to go against what the state government (their boss) says.
c.... They would prefer to arrest some white face locals (who are generally following the rules) first.
d... They have to live here too.
... There is a tradition of backpackers and indigenous getting away with things we wouldnt, drinking in public, public nuisance, smoking a bit of weed or whatever.... its too hard to prosecute, and pointless as they never pay the fine anyway... But, this isolation thing, its hard to shop when there's half a dozen in the same aisle, hanging round in groups etc.
Geez, society has degenerated, when you can't just tell the world to fark off.
I've washed my bloody hands till my fingerprints are almost worn off today, all I wanted was a few parts for my lawnmower and something to eat.
It's annoying, there are still groups of people taking apparently no precautions. Bloody backpackers, I would be happy if all the grubs were expelled immediately, or incarcerated. They show no respect at all.
Indigenous, seem to have no concern despite being a high risk group.
The rest of us, have to work around it. Its inconvenient, but for us its also the law now. Be good if that was implemented across the board.
