I seem to remember hearing that 1/10 of the world - the west - is consuming 9/10 of the world's resources.
I don't know if it's true, and I'm no fucking hippy, but I do know they've just opened a ski slope in Dubai, which, considering the area's lack of water, sounds a little obscene to me.

But fuck the povvers - I'm off for a beer, and then I'm going to go home and watch the news on my big telly while eating some nice food, and follow a story about Africa and how they're all dying.

Like everyone else, I pretend to care about others, but really I'm too fucking greedy to do anything about it other than make occasional, token gestures to numb the nagging, vague feeling of guilt I get when I realise how incredibly fucking lucky I am to live in a politically stable, rich country that to the larger extent allows me to live life exactly how I fucking choose, without ever having to go through any real hardship, including doping me right up should I ever get cancer.

Lush.

I don't think the ski slope
In Dubai is snow. Someone sent me an email with pictures of it plus those islands and the big hotels, trying to make some sort of message about spending billions on stuff. My response was that its's their money, they can spend it on what they want

They refrigerate the sand on beaches

Everything I read about that place makes me think that a dirty great big earthquake nearby would be the best thing for it

It is snow. And it is strange when
You then step outside of the mall that houses it and the temperature smacks you in the face like an insulted sealion !

I loved that place, then I learned more about the sub continent slave workforce, i'm never going back.

Think of it like an indoor ski slope
that's been taken over by Disney and turned into an extremely small, cramped Alpine ski resort by a bunch of people who have neither been skiing nor seen Heidi.

It's snow in the same way that an indoor ski slope has snow; it's a ski resort in the same way I date supermodels, drive a Honda Accord and take massive drugs.

Yes - commenting on the ski slope is rather missing the point somewhat.

I don't bother pretending to care.
