Ahhh gambling. The tax for the mathematically challenged.

Perhaps you only percieve it as a cheap shot, and I percieve it as a good natured razz. Consider it a cultural thing.With that said, as another poster wrote on this thread or another, you are obviously bright, why not develop the arguement a bit more and avoid the cheap shots? Kill them with facts.

Boston bred, big Irish-Catholic family. Ever see the movie "Good Will Hunting"? They nailed it, except for most of the accents.You could be onto something there. What 'culture' do you call 'home?' Me, I'm pretty much white, Catholic, middle aged, educated in the school sense.

More people hate me than like me, and very few have no opinion.
I'm not talking about the age of the characters. But that was the attitude where I grew up. I've actually toned it down several notches.

Time has fixed that and you are a good one to have around!More people hate me than like me, and very few have no opinion
Where do you get the multiplication factor? The Chinese population is expected to go down, not up.
Actually, and I'll put this in Braille for you - if needed - I wasnt referring to anything in regard to their population. Everyone realizes theyve got over a billion folks already.
What I was eluding to, and you should know this - having a degree in the discipline - theyve been dumping their waste pretty much out on the ground - where, for the most-part it stays fairly localized.
What I was speaking of is the natural resources to produce fixtures (toilets, sinks, showers - etc.) and then the systems to transfer and dispose of said waste. Billions of gallons of "treated" (?) waste will hit the sea, like never before, every single day.
*slide your hand over your monitor - maybe you can feel the bumps*
Now getting back to the discussion, you have failed to explain how building toilets and such in China will have any negative impact on the US.
Yeah I saw people swimming in shit river diving for pesos and across the way seeing somebody washing cloths an on the other side some guy taking a leak. So yeah I got a little first hand knowledge or being in Somolia viewing a hell on earth that can't even be explained.
I believe a lot of organzations have gone to these far reaching places and tried to teach the local folk about new ways of farming, irrigation, safer sex practices, conservation of resources and they have failed to get a grip. Is that my fault or your fault? I don't think so and when you speak about China and India they are becoming more industrialized and modern because of the west and it's exploitations. And one other point here about a modern is Japan, they still have benjo drains that run down the street that end up in the ocean or fresh water supply. So tell me why is it still like that?

Ever eat tuna?
.... Don't forget our good friends south of the border that place called Mexico and Central and South America they fertilize crops with human waste and it is shipped to the US for us to eat.
....
We use it here as well. I built a plant in NYS that makes fertilizer out of it. Heck, the City of Milwaukee has been bagging it and selling it all over for decades.
No, I'm talking about sewage sludge stabilization. I used to make a pasteurized product with about 30% solids content ans trucked to local markets to be spread like manure, Milwakee's is dried to nearly 100% solids and pellatized, suitable for regional, even national distribution. Liquid distribution is much more difficult, unless you have a dry climate and need the water to irrigate, and you simply can't haul it too far or you'll break the bank.Well it has been a long time since my sewage treatment days, but I'm guessing you are referring to stage 4 or 5 tanks that are water. That is used to water fields or crops and could be used as drinking water once chlorinated if I'm correct?
Other non developed country use the raw sewage for crops.
