It's only art if he can recycle the same water. What a tard. Don't waste water.
 
Ultrabeat, that is not art. I don't care what anyone says, that is not art. Neither is turning on a bunch of sinks or leaving the toilet running. It's almost bad enough to revoke his current "artist" status.
I know water is a big deal over there in Bringland, and the rest of the world, too, but not where I live. Dayton, Ohio just happens to sit on top of an enourmous underground aquafer, filled with fairly drinkable water. Filter it, and that's about all that's needed. In downtown, we have five fountains around an intersection of Mad river and the Great Miami river where there is also a big park, bike and walking trails, ice skating rink, laser show, baseball diamonds, a real baseball stadium, all that good stuff. Oh, when I say "fountain", what I mean is a giant structure that shoots ridiculous amounts of perfectly drinkable water about 200 feet into the air. They don't really have a schedule for when they fire 'em off; in the summer they're off and on all the time, I guess to make sure they work. They work. An Ethiopian would pass out if they saw it.
They intial plan was to use the river water and pump it up the water volcanoes, but the sediment in the river water would have desrtoyed the pumps. So, you know us Americans, we decided to rocket tons of sparkling water, as much as we could possibly waste, into the air, just to piss off all the people in the world who live on water resrictions, and those in Vegas and Los Angeles and stuff. Life is good.

Did I mention I leave the tap running while I brush my teeth?

But besides that, I think Famine summed it all up. I forget what he summed up, but I'm sure he dun good. Oh, Blake, that's why we have a thing called desalinization.

But of course.

However, I doubt there are a great deal of desalinisation plants in the UK (especially near Impreza04 and his soon to be submerged town), and I know there’s not in Australia (yet).

The third point is about privatised water companies. Water IS free. It falls out of the sky on a regular basis and you can scoop whatever you want out of rivers/lakes/streams/seas/stagnant ponds. Water out of the tap is NOT free - someone has had to develop the technology, method and chemicals to stop you getting cholera or Weil's Disease, someone has to keep the systems running, someone has had to pipe it into, and away from, your home and someone has to maintain it all. They have a right to charge for all of this. Now granted, water companies are pretty poor in the UK at the last part, but this can be solved by a little bit of active capitalism - shift your supplier to the cheapest supplier, or whomever you feel is doing most to combat leakage.

The most expensive civic water being the Gulf Stateses who rely heavily on desalinisation. Ime sure theres a local penalty for deliberate water abuse as it is as energy intensive a resource as supermarket food is there. These deslanisation plants use megawatts to process the seawater w/ the side-affect of increasing the persian gulf's salinity over time. i might be back w/ this as it is a mite cursory & me search engine needs patching.
p.s how many here've seen Dune?
 
I voted before i knew what the hell this was about.... so i now vote for shutting this off. Don't ask me why i;m so hasty, perhaps it's because my gf is currently dragging me away from the computer.... we'e at school unfortunetely :nervous:
