Canada had a lot more sense than the US. You couldn't enter their country unless you could support yourself. They didn't want swarms of unskilled foreigners destroying their land and then scrounging for food and supplies. (BTW everyone is this video was white and spoke English)

White man destroying earth for greed.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy Hey asshole - it's not just the white man - it's the yellow man, brown man, black man, etc. You're an uneducated racist. India (Brown Man) is the NUMBER ONE Gold consumer! China (Yellow man) is the NUMBER ONE Producer! And in case you're a black man, Africa is the Second World Largest Producer with the Black man mining Gold for other Black men!

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy Hey numb nuts, do you drive a car or flip on a light switch? Where in the f*ck do you think they get the copper, lead zinc!!?? The take down entire mountains, rail it down mountains, ship the stuff across the planet to process the ore, ship it across oceans to refine it, rail/truck/ship it to other destinations to manufacture materials. This requires diesel numb nuts. Where do you think they get that?

[shannontheguy]

@wnotney Like I said, destroying the Earth for greed. What part of that didn't you understand, idiot? The White man is solely responsible for the destruction of Earth. The white man's "intelligence" is why we are in the shit boat today and why all of this industrialization will eventually end life on Earth. Btw, I'm multi-racial, I'm American Indian, black and white. I don't hate white people as I'm more white than anything else but I speak the truth on who started the destruction of Earth.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy @shannontheguy "White man solely responsible for the destruction of Earth / White man's technology" Shannon, you're a complete fucking moron! For just a very, very brief history of "NON-WHITE PEOPLE" technological advancements: •8000BC Persians (Brown skins) started farming •7000BC Cattle-Africa (Black man); Punjab (Brown man)-Indus Valley Civilization-Cities, Baths, Granaries, Sanitation; Anatolia Civ-(Brown Skins) Pottery, fabrics, Metals (Copper Age-MINING!), Agriculture,etc.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy •4000BC Sumerians (Brown Skins) - Writing, Mathematics, ploughs, wheeled vehicles, etc.

•3000BC China (Bronze Age); Fermentation (Sumeria-Beer/Egypt-Wine);Maps­, Geometry Babylon;Mesopotamia-Astronomy, iron metal smelting, Gold mining; Mayans-Calendar, Astronomy•2000BC Mesopotamia-Codified Law; Phoenicians-Alphabet•1000BC Greeks-Arch; Lydia/India/China-Coinage; Greeks - Irrational Numbers, India-Mathematics•500BC Greeks-Democritus/Atomic Theory, Solar System, Catapults, Philosophy

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy Now idiot, put this together with a few more facts:1.Siberians crossed the Bearing Straight during the last ice age 13,500 years ago. 2.Native Americans descended from Siberians. 3.Most recent archeology/DNA studies, Siberians are descended from a Central-Eastern Europeans & East Eurasians.4.Central-Eastern Europeans& East Eurasians are NON-WHITES! (You still with me moron?) 5.The technology responsible for extracting metals from the Earth derived from NON-WHITE cultures.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy So then who were the first miners that DESTROYED THE EARTH to extract these metals? Answer: The "Brown Skins" of the Indus Valley.

And we know that Copper mining aka strip mining is a 1000 times more destructive than Gold mining through shear volumes of demand, availability and uses (any idiot can verify - just check out the mountains taken down with the blessings of the Brown Skins in Indonesia by Freeport McMoRan).

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy As I said, today China is the largest producer of Gold on the planet, second is South Africa. And they do it for profit (you call greed.) All over the world, poor people (Black, Brown, Yellow, White, etc,) on the African continent, South East Asia (Philippines, Indonesia, Vietnam), South America (Colombia, Panama, Peru, Bolivia, Ecuador, Argentina, Chile, Guyana, Venezuela, etc.) are panning for Gold for what you call greed and what they call survival to feed their families.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy

Little spoiled assed idiot pukes like you know nothing of poverty.

The problem isn't the "Greedy White Man," the problem is a population explosion among the poorest people in the world. The problem is the HUGE expanding middle classes in China, India, Indonesia, Middle East, South America, Africa, etc that have a corresponding HUGE demand for copper, iron, oil, coal, nickel, zinc, lead, lumber, fish, grains, plastics, fertilizers, etc.

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy

Copper ALONE is a Million TIMES more plentiful and TEN THOUSAND TIMES more destructive to the planet when extracted. Gold mining is minuscule in comparison to all else!!! You're a fucking idiot not to realize this you moron. Now go fuck off you twit and quit spreading your ignorance. And while you're at, go off yourself so that one less human being will be demanding g resources from Mother Earth.

Do you get it now butt boy?

[o8shit8son]

i dont no i work at a gold mine and we do a preety good job a destroying the earth

[wnotney]

Respond to this video... This shannon-the-"guy" ignoramus that must identify himself as a "guy" or else everyone will know is Shannon's PUSSY by his/her demeanor, is a brain dead moron that has shaved his/her hairy ass and walks backwards to avoid opening his trap revealing his/her ignorance and/or to hide his/her ugly face. Pathetic!

[wnotney]

@shannontheguy And one more thing sh*t for brains, do you live in a house? Where do you think they get the lumber? Work in a building? Where do they get the plywood to form the concrete? Try the Amazon basin. That's shipped across the globe using diesel in iron ships using copper, lead zinc.
