...please.

We are PHD students which means we are intelligent people (probably belonging to the most intelligent people on the planet). If we don't acknowledge the implications of this issue for the future of our planet, who else will???

Let's fight for the Amazon rainforest. 20% have already been destroyed in the last 50 years, the next 50 are the last chance in the history of humanity to prevent the world from the biggest mistake ever done!

Once a vast sea of tropical forest, the Amazon rainforest today is scarred by roads, farms, ranches, and dams. Brazil is gifted with a full third of the world's remaining rainforests; unfortunately, it is also one of the world's great rainforest destroyers, burning or felling more than 2.7 million acres each year. More than 20 percent of rainforest in the Amazon has been razed and is gone forever. This ocean of green, nearly as large as Australia, is the last great rainforest in the known universe and it is being decimated like the others before it. Why? Like other rainforests already lost forever, the land is being cleared for logging timber, large-scale cattle ranching, mining operations, government road building and hydroelectric schemes, military operations, and the subsistence agriculture of peasants and landless settlers. Sadder still, in many places the rainforests are burnt simply to provide charcoal to power industrial plants in the area.

This discussion is both old and a bit odd.

Everybody should decide themselves if they have a rolemodel and who it is. This in itself is a subjective process and needs no further justification. Nobody can say: this is not a good role model for this reason. It's a personal decision. If someone's parents are their role model, why not? After all, they know them very well and they spent many years together, so assumably they know what they are talking about. On the other hand, if someone chooses Thatcher (the old bitch) as a role model, then this needs to be accepted.

My role model are definitely not the PGFT, they are behaving like dictators, do not promote the freedom of free speech (even within the boundaries of the forum rules), do not treat forum users equally or in a fair way and do not display any abilities whatsover to distinguish between abusive language and a different opinion.

I'm your supervisor.

I am fully aware of your plan now and expect you in the institute on Monday morning 8am in order to discuss the issue, your future prospects in academia and the status of your project. Be there, museology is waiting for you.

Regards

P.S.: I don't miss any of them, all four seemed immature and annoying.

Dear H

I don't know if you have noticed but Maria_Z, Apollo, MistaG/ULUG and others have been banned from this forum yesterday morning. This is mainly due to your complaints. Why has Apollo been banned though - he had no multiple usernames like MistaG/ULUG and has not been nasty about people in hospital like Maria_Z?

Men, you really passed out in 2006? I almost passed out last night, had too many drinks.

Anyway, you're American?
