    Also, for the love of all that is good and right and holy, the word is "descent". "Dissent" means "to disagree".

    Topic was regarding a population crisis. I'm simply saying there is not one. However noting that there is actually a reduction of population among certain groups and we are seeing a shift in population percentages.

    I would cut and paste my statement again complete with spelling correction but that's a bit redundant don't you think?

    I do not understand why that’s a problem. But then I never have understood the rules of political correctness. Since you bring it up though and seem to be obsessed with shades of brown. Would you agree that people of different ethnicities are physically different? And if you can take that racist position then would you also then an equally obvious position that different races are also mentally different?

    Yeah you can make clean, safe drinking water from seawater yourself by using a desalinisation setup (as long as you can get the equipment but makeshift stuff can be used like garden hoses)and DIY gravity filters, science stuff,

    My point was that the act of water being sold back to us, as well as food, along with taking our means to be able to obtain these items ourselves (farming, hunting and good old fashioned gathering ) is creating a dependancy and water in tap continues to be tainted with chemicals like flouride.

    What if the tap water gets cut off? We are only at the mercy of the water companies who in turn are controlled by the government. I'm sure in the very near future, as part of the control systems in place for us, it will be used against us in this way, because its the kind of nasty thing they are capable of and it will be just one of the things they exploit to gain leverage, just like they do with countless other things. I don't consider bottled water to be a fashion statement for the rich and beautiful I consider it a brainwashing scheme to get us used to queuing/buying our water, because thats what people in camps do.

    Anyway, as for the OP, there is still lots of space, but we are forced to be cramped up in these cities, instead of spreading out, also you'll find that we can't just go off and found a new city like in the old days because its all owned and they wont let us, it really is a 3(read: many) pronged fork they are jabbing us with and they revel in it.

    Who did the Vikings call to get their water hooked up? Back in the days before the Elites controlled the system?

    Being sarcastic of course you could dig a well like people did before "utilities".

    However on that note my first house was beside a creek a small one that would run dry in mid to late summer. I always wanted to put in a well and looked into it because I should not have had to go very deep at all really however the city regulations prohibited it. Would have been nice though the water utilities tripled that year and I moved two years later. Fucking City bastards they wanted that new stadium there in Nashville and decided to have the City subsidize the building of it. And it was all paid for using extra revenue brought in by the water bill. And at the time I lived in the city limits however the utility for my water was Cumberland utility which was independent from the city. Well the City annexed Cumberland Util and while everyone else’s bill went up a little bit mine tripled.

    Fucking Elites wanted a stadium bastards!!!

    Yeah thats the point Joe, you can't dig a well. They have stopped us from being independant by getting water ourselves.

    I have a well at my home and the water is great.I've told friends to come and fill their water bottles here but they still insist on buying it at about a buck a gallon.Fuck knows why other than they are going to the store anyway I guess.It will be a long time before I give some corporation my hard earned money for filtered tap water that is more expensive than soda.
    Now that the oil is controlled by the few it is only a matter of time before water is controlled in cities by private companies that can provide 'better service' to you the consumer.Then they will have everyone by the short hairs.But then again you'll probably be able to get Evian straight from the tap for the right price.

    Had a friend that lived in Eagleville Tenn. They have sulfur really bad there. And he is on well water. Honestly you could cut wind in his house and not notice. He would bring a gallon jug of sulfur water from his house and drink it at work. I could not stand the stuff but he says you never hear of someone in Eagleville with arthritis. at least not unless they are really old.

    It's not about being politically correct, Joe. You brought up an irrelevant point, I responded with "who cares?".

    You can (and have to) dig your own well if you live outside of a municipal service district.

    For a while the City of Portland was going to augment our water supply with wells, until they actually dug the wells and realized that, oh yeah, the water is polluted as fuck from a hundred years of the local factories dumping here.

    BTW, you can't purify most chemical toxins from the water by boiling it, only bacterial toxins.

    Wells are nice (I've lived a number of places where we were on a well) but if the water's badly polluted you're fucked and have to buy bottled water anyway. Also, if the well runs low or dry in the summer (Two of the wells I've lived with ran really low in the summer, so fun to be showering and then suddenly hit the bottom of the well-water... muddy, rusty blegh!) you have to buy bottled water.
