We did the same thing on our US Military Vessels so what Chavez is suggesting is nothing new. Sea Showers is the Term! Americans could take notice also as we waste way too much potable water standing under a shower for 20 minutes.

With all the unemployment in the States, the messiah needs to take notice. He could have 100% employment by hiring all the unemployed as shower detectives. He could just use the existing redshirted SS (ACORN) infrastructure and get this under control for Miami-Mike. He might even use this as excuse to import some more of those guest voters..oops I mean workers... in the Marxian parlance the Obamiacs prefer we are all "workers".

Three minute showers - that is funny

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Funny, not really! If you were in the US Military(or in the merchant marine) aboard Ship, It was a standard practice on long deployments at sea. With smaller merchant vessels with smaller water storage tanks, it was standard practice even for short deployements and that incuded female crewmembers as well, timed short showers. Not funny at all but a fact of life. Again, like I said, People in the USA are extremely wasteful when it comes to resources, be it water, oil ect. JB fastpitch posts as he does because he probably never lived aboard military or merchants vessels so he has NO clue as to what everyday life is like aboard ship concerning short showers and water conservation.

Well said Huella! Could be some here haven't been off the block from where they were born and unaware of what a problem the shortage of Potable water really is worldwide. Not to mention we are probably one of the only countries where instead of using demand type water heaters, Americans mostly use a continuosly heated Water Tank wasting tons more of energy for that 10 minute shower they feel is so necessary. My avatar is that kind of guy and his kissing budddy loves our energy wasting habits so his country can keep selling us more of that Oil our Soldiers are dying for this very day.

phillyguy says on Oct 23, 2009, 04:51:

The Chavez apologists seem to be missing a few things (how typical). Chavez has been in power for years, but now he is suddenly and environmentalis? Guess again:"Venezuela has suffered several serious blackouts in the past year because of rapidly growing demand and under-investment, which has been aggravated by a drop in water levels in hydroelectric dams that provide most of its energy." Venezuela is going broke because of his stupid policies, so rationing in the only answer.

The following is precious: "Chavez announced energy-saving measures and said he would create a ministry to deal with the electricity shortages, which have affected the image of his socialist revolution before legislative elections due in 2010." The govenment has screwed up the economy throught excessive meddling, so what is the solution? Let's add ANOTHER government ministry.

Miguel Clavo seems to be the only one to notice the smoking gun here: "What kind of communism is this." Like all communists, Chavez believes that a society that is miserable but equal is preferable to a society that is prosperous but unequal. That is the essence of communism. (Of course equality does not apply to Chavez, his families, and their cronies who are enriching themselves with the property that they are illegally seizing.

OK Bushwick, how about a trade. The Yankees will leave Latin America after every latino illegal alien leaves the USA. Deal? Funny, according the the pinkos, every wetback who sneaks across the border has the "fundamental right" to stay in the USA, but the USA has no rights in South America whatsoever.

Every country that has tried communism has ended in disaster. Those with sense (Russia, China, Vietnam, Eastern Europe) have all dumped communism, since all it brought is misery. In all of those countries, capitalism has provided a higher standard of living than communism. There are 2 commie holdouts left. Cuba is liberalizing now that Fidel is dying, and North Korea is one of the worst hellholes on earth. Great idea. Let Chavez turn all of South America into another North Korea. That should improve things.

Was the Iron Curtain built to keep people out, or keep people in? If communism is so great, why is the traffic one-way? Why do so many people risk their lives to flee cuba, when nobody risks their lives to enter cuba?

The USA is about 5% of the world's population and less than 25% of the world economy. Do you think Chavez, or anybody else in latin america is going to sell to the USA for less than the going rate?

The fact that communist/socialist dictators slaughtered hundreds of millions of innocent people is somehow inconsequential, but somehow Guantamo is an atrocity. GO COMMUNISM!

As for the small farmers, it's called a market. I support efforts to help small farmers, but what about the poor who live in cities. How will higher food prices help them?

BB - Typical. You tell us that gringos are not welcome, and that we know nothing of the real colombia, but you somehow have better information than us on a murder case that occured in my own city. I WAS LIVING IN PHILLY WHEN THE MUMIA ABU JAMAL TRIAL WAS HAPPENING. I followed the entire case in real time.

From Winkipedi (hardly a conservative source) on the physical evidence from the case:

"A .38 caliber Charter Arms revolver registered to Abu-Jamal was found at the scene next to him with 5 spent shell casings.[22] Tests performed with the physical evidence verify that Faulkner was killed by a .38 caliber bullet. The extracted slugs were identified as Federal brand .38 Special P bullets with hollow bases, which matched the shell casings in Abu-Jamal's handgun retrieved at the scene. Rifling characteristics evident on the bullet fragments extracted from Faulkner's body matched those of the handgun. Anthony L. Paul, Supervisor of the Firearms Identification Unit, testified that the type of bullet was rare at the time, with only one manufacturer, though he could name two other manufacturers which produced weapons bearing the same rifling characteristics.[23] Experts testified that the bullet taken from Abu-Jamal was fired from Faulkner's service weapon. George Fassnacht, the defence's ballistics expert, did not dispute the findings of the prosecution's experts.[24]

Amnesty International, with reference to the physical evidence, has expressed the view that "...the police failed to conduct tests to ascertain whether the weapon had been fired in the immediate past...Compounding this error, the police also failed to conduct chemical tests on Abu-Jamal's hands to find out if he had fired a gun recently."[21] In a 1995 hearing, a defense ballistics expert testified that due to Abu-Jamal's struggle with the police during his arrest, such a test would have been difficult to accomplish and, due to the gunpowder residue possibly being shaken or rubbed off, would not have been scientifically reliable.[25] A note written by coroner Dr. Paul Hoyer, who autopsied Daniel Faulkner, states that he extracted a .44 caliber bullet from Faulkner. This has led to claims that Faulkner was shot by a .44 caliber rather than a .38 caliber weapon. Hoyer admitted in 1995 that his note had been a "lay guess" based on his own observations, that he was not a firearms expert and that he had not received any training in weapons ballistics.[26]"

Mumia Abu Jamal is innocent....
What happened with Rodney King?

You think every Muslim is a terrorist. Just because you believe everything your stupid government is telling you...

It is not possible to have a chat with you. Because you never left the USA and you don't know any other cultures.........

- I do not think all Muslims are terrorists.

Rodney King was a convicted wife beater and a thief. Blood alcohol was twice the legal limit when he refused to pull over.

Not that they should have tuned him up so much, but they ordered him to stay down, and he kept getting back up.

His arrest record.

PhillyGuy...one important side note to that particular murder, is that Jamal never once denied shooting Faulkner. When asked he said nothing. He never once said he didn't shoot Faulkner. Hell if was trying to win over sympathy he could've atleast expressed concern that Faulkner had been shot in the first place. The media got ahold of it, lawyers ran with it and the next thing you know certain citizens of Philadelphia were saying he was innocent.

It was very cut and dry what had happened in this case. You can cloud the facts with here say but everyone involved in that case knew what went down..So does Jamal.

BB - Every criminal is innocent in thier mind, or atleast justified in their actions. There are two sides to every single story and go to a prison and ask around and pretty much 9 out of 10 inmates will tell you they are innocent.

Flatline its also worth noting that its very common for cops to taze a person who is not responding to them. They Tazed Rodney and it had absolutely no affect on him what so ever. They test this particular tazer on modafawkin WATER BUFFALO that are 700 pounds and it drops them in an instant. They hit Rodney and nothing...that's called PCP folks. At that point they were shitting thier pants.

At any rate, there are a shit ton of jerk off cops who abuse their power. Im not trying to defend the LAPD. God knows there are plenty of crooked cops and all sorts of cover ups...but to make your own decisions on this type of thing read the facts.

BB your just like the messiah and chavez. When the facts don't agree with your perception, you change the subject and cry racism or imperialism.
If I disagree with your marxist worldview you call me a racist or imperialist instead of explaining how I would benefit by becoming a marxist like you. Try persusaion, if you have any cogent ideas, I'll listen.

JB--Chilll out and take a few more hits off that "Fat One". Sounds like anger management classes are in your future. Peace Out!

You don't want to hear the truth, so you change the subject by equating my reasoned argument with your mindless rants. Let me know when can explain how anyone benefits from marxism, socialism, fascism??? Hmmm???

BUSHWICK-BILL:
"Why are so much Afro-Americans in US jails? Because the whole system is completely racist."

That is pretty funny. The whole justice system in the US is completely racist? Bushwick, that would imply there is a concerted effort by the justice system to ensure racism all across the board which is pretty much impossible -it is a huge system with people from all backgrounds and races. I bet you believe in conspiracy theories as well. Rodney King was high as a kite on PCP and when he ran from the cops, he put 100s of lives at risk, but hey, if that is your kind of guy so be it.
The listening to what my government says statement is pretty laughable as well. I dont see why people anywhere would trust their government -power corrupts. The beauty here is that I can protest my government without fearing for my life and there are many countries where that isnt the case. So I guess my country just sux then huh? Please stay away then if it is so bad.

I wonder if BB agrees with George Bush and George W Bush when they said "Ilsam is a peaceful religion that was hijacked by terrorists."
What rubbish! The Bushes obviously never read the Koran. Anyone, including muslims, that believe Islam is a "peaceful religion" is ignoring the Suras that demand the death of all who will not agree to subject themselves to the diabolical rule of the Islamo-fascists.

They are very much a peace loving people but the extremist get all the press -it goes back to the bad news is what sells mantra. This is what gives them a bad image, nothing more, nothing less. Kinda like how Colombia gets bad press -because dirty laundry sells. You know, no news is good news.
