DDT has not been universally outlawed. it is still used in third world countries such as Uganda to prevent DDT. All Carson did was show the negatives and ask that in countries where we have other ways to prevent Malaria, that we not use it.
She has caused no deaths, she just raised awareness, she didn't make the law.
She's a genius, to bad she was still somewhat oppressed, since she keeps mentioning mankind, which means she still kissed the destroyer of the earths ass "Men" Oh well times have changed, women are gaining power in all positions world wide , men need authority from women, in order to keep the planet sane, cus men can't do it, but for a women it's easy. Women by nature are very brilliant/compassionate
But who gives a shit right?!?!?! I mean it's not like they're white children or anything. Hell, there's so many of em that they're like a dime a dozen. Just good old fashioned population control. Just so long as we don't have any blonde, blue eyed little girls that they launch those nationwide searches over when they go missing. Dang, now that really WOULD be bad.
You are exactly right, she is responsible for tens of millions of lives lost to malaria when her B.S. book led to the ban of DDT around the world. She is responsible for more deaths than most of the worst dictators in history, and that's a fact.
WOW!!!! The Dark Lord of the Sith herself. Single handedly responsible for more Human deaths than anyone in history. Uncle Adolf, Comrade Stalin, Chairman Mao, and Pol Pot would be jealous. Congratulations Rachel!!!!!! You killed 86,000,000 people...and still counting.... Every 12 seconds another brown or black skinned child somewhere bites the dust...oh there went another one. That's 86,000,000 children who might have grown up to find a cure for cancer, or maybe the next Da Vinci. Oh well....
bastard the earth is dying why cany ppl just find a muther ffuckin cure for those fuckin ass kids then u cant save the earth u dumbass would u rather have some ppl die or EVERYONE burn slowly to death? wtf u dumbass
You're a typical brainwashed stooge. As such, you have a lot of bad info. Mt. St Helens released more CO2 in one day than the combined human industrial output of the past 40 years. Astronomers have found that the suns solar output has increased, and that EVERY planet in our solar system is experiencing global warming. Those human deaths are acceptable to you because they don't include the people you care about and it didn't happen in your backyard. They're just statistics to you.
Why don't you pick up your family and friends and move to Sub Saharan Africa for a few years and watch to people you love die needlessly. They didn't limit the use of DDT they BANNED IT. Small scale use of DDT inside homes would have saved tens of millions of lives, but you don't give a shit about that do you. You sit all fat, happy, and secure in your little home choking down cheeseburgers, watching your plasma screen TV while thousands of children are literally starving to death. Be proud.
shut da muther fuckin up u bastard i dont eat cheesburgers anyway y u blamin me it aint my fault that america has so much extra food and ppl r dying cuz of obesesity but they wont give some to africa instead of blaming me why dont u go blame urself u bastard and FYI i dont have a plasma and im healthy
My point is that you don't even give a shit. Why don't you watch a little tv. Americans are more upset that Phelps smoked a little pot than they are about human misery and death. Americans are weak and selfish. We get mad as hell when gas cost too much but are indifferent to the screams of sobbing mothers burying their children in Africa and elsewhere. So long as they are comfortable they don't give a shit and neither do you. If you did, you'd do something about it, but you don't. You dont care.
I'm sorry if you don't like the truth, but there it is. People all over the world are suffering but you do nothing. There are children in this country who go to sleep hungry. There is NO excuse. I've traveled the world and have seen the filth that people live in. They have no food, no medicine, and no hope. They are waiting to die. We get upset because 6 million Jews died in WWII. What about the 86 million who have died from malaria since the 70's? Who cries for them? NOT YOU. You disgust me.
i would do something if i could GOD! leave me alone why dont u go do something then? im a KID! wtf am i supposed to do? i cant find a cure im too stupid to i cant do nuthin u dumbass
Well then CHILD, shut your mouth and stop spewing nonsense. Go to school and learn. educate yourself so you don't have to feel like an idiot. Even a moron can learn. And by the way, you opened this debate. Don't cry if you can't win it.
This "bitch" is Marine Recon. The internet is a wonder thing. It allows gutless weaklings to say things to people they would ordinarily be too timid to make eye contact with in the real world. Go change yo Huggies boy.
If you're a girl then who are your parents? I'd be ashamed if my daughter spoke to others as you do. I guess they don't make ladies like they used to. You even take the Lord's name in vain. Shame. A persons honor and dignity is a result of how they treat others. You should learn some manners. You only denegrate yourself with your conduct.
I don't doubt. You undoubtedly have a bright future ahead of you. LOL! One day you may find that disapointment from your parents ways very heavy on your heart. They won't always be there. A day comes in every persons life when they realize what they lost and squandered. That's a sad day full of regret. It gets worse the older you get. You'll think of what might have been had done differently and made better choices. No one lives forever and a day lost is lost forever.
Eine sehr beeindruckende Persönlichkeit.Ich habe Ihr wohl nachhaltendes Buch "stummes Frühling" noch nicht gelesen, doch werde ich es unbedingt nachholen (aber auch ihre Trilogie über das Meer)
lets see, death by malaria or death by biomagnification of ddt in the food chain, birth defects and disability for all. gee thats a tough one, I chose life, adios ddt
that's not true at all. all pesticides did was make malaria extremely resistant to drugs and more deadly. Rachel Carson is not responsible for genetic mutations caused by pesticides that renders them ineffective.
Limited use of DDT for public health has continued to be effective in areas where it is used inside homes. As DDT's chief property is repellency, mosquitoes often avoid the DDT treated homes altogether.
So what? people still use DDT all the time inside homes and for mosquito protection. What does that have to do with "africans blood on her hands"? It's a well known fact that overuse of pesticides made malaria stronger thasn ever.
I don't know how much more I can dumb this down so here goes: Overusing any kind of chemical against a microorganism usually makes that particular microorganism resistant to the chemical over time and that is what happened with the pesticides used in malaria-stricken places in the world and that is why it is much worse now and the eradication process failed miserably. Nothing to do with Rcahel Carson. And DDT isn't illegal anyway so what does that have to do with her?
Sara, First of all, I am not a fan of DDT and I think a weighing of the facts show that it does more harm than good. I understand that you are enranged by "cropdusterman" hyper-emotional statement, but we can't simply ignore what DDT was good for. DDT did save immediate lives from disease - however, later reveled, at the expense of long term damage. Anyways, DDT makes insects more resistant to pesticide and does not cause "super" maleria. I'm not sure if I would use that as my argument.
I think a Jainst aproach to the environment where a reverance to life and honour of all things living should take place.
Does this actress really embody the essence of Rachel Carson or does she mearly romanticize her intention? Its nice to be honoured but I think the REAL Rachel Carson is so much better to just read.
