Quote from: iron horse jockeyHow is wind and solar working out for average Europeans. What a waste of money.

Yeah right!! I guess you never heard of the Russian Invasion of Ukraine. How is fossil fuels (natural gas) working for the average Europeans?  High prices for natural gas is through the roof because of Gazprom.

Climate change: 'Sand battery' could solve green energy's big problem

After Finland joined Nato, Gazprom shut off the natural gas to Finland.  A lot of interest for the wind and solar with the Sand Battery providing storage.

To seoubro and other haters:

To paraphrase JK Rowlings anti-troll tweet:

The Internet doesn't just offer opportunities for sinophobic racist abuse, you know. Penis enlargers can also be bought discreetly.



Anyone notice that the advertisers banners are not showing anymore?

Nanaimo RCMP investigating possible hate crime targetting Asian realtors' signs

Nanaimo RCMP officials say the defacement of signs along Hammond Bay Road over the weekend appears to be a racially motivated attack and is under investigation as a hate crime.



Bus stop real estate signs were sprayed with black paint, with only Asian realtors targeted.



Some signs were spray painted with slogans like "go away" and "not welcome," as well as swastikas.



"My family is a little concerned about my safety, because as a realtor sometimes you have to meet strangers," said Coast Realty realtor Sophia Chen, whose sign was defaced. Chen has lived in Nanaimo for 10 years and said she received a hate e-mail message once before. "It's extremely disturbing, that individuals would go to this extent, targeting visible ethnic groups in our community. It is unacceptable," said Const. Gary O'Brien, spokesman for the Nanaimo RCMP. "The RCMP is investigating each of these incidents."



They are considered hate crimes because a group is being targeted for their ethnicity, said O'Brien. At the end of May a controversial leaflet was mailed out in a north-end neighbourhood by an organization calling themselves Putting Canada First. The leaflet references the Vancouver property market and warns of an impending "property nightmare" and "international real estate speculation" coming to Nanaimo and encourages residents to take action before "Nanaimo is changed (for the worse) forever." Paul Bentley, communications director of Putting Canada First, said that the graffiti is "absolutely not" associated with their organization, and not something they condone. http://new.canada.com/business/Nanaimo+RCMP+investigating+possible+hate+crime+targetting+Asian+realtors+signs/11140637/story.html">http://new.canada.com/business/Nanaimo+ ... story.html">http://new.canada.com/business/Nanaimo+RCMP+investigating+possible+hate+crime+targetting+Asian+realtors+signs/11140637/story.html



Even the racial offensive word has been blurred out in this newscast.  How come Shen Li the fake Asian is still allowed to use the racial offense word?

Quote from: "RW"Why am I going to entertain the arguments of a person who is trying to bully me with threats of monetary consequence?

Not my decision.  It is up to the advertisers.  Just like it is the advertisers' decision to withdraw their ads from "19 and counting".

Quote from: "RW"I don't think he really cares but I do think Shen's Freedom of Speech is worth a few bucks.

Maybe RW thinks Josh's Freedom of Speech is more important as advertisers pull out of the TV show "19 and counting".

Or maybe Paula Deen's Freedom of Speech to use offensive racial slurs in public is more important than the Food Network cancelling her show.

OK.  I will.  The advertisers complained to Facebook when its ad was put next of offensive post.  Facebook had to pull its ads next to offensive posts.

Ads on Facebook dropped after appearing next to offensive posts.  I wonder how the advertisers would feel if their ads was posted under Shen Li's racially offensive signature?

Maybe it is time to contact AdChoice/Google and their advertisers to complain about Shen Li's racial offensive handle to pull the AdChoice and source of revenue to thebluecashew.  I bet the laughing will stop.  It worked on memebee.

Five internet trolls a day convicted in UK as figures show ten-fold increase

Convictions for internet 'trolling' soars under laws that target sending of offensive, indecent or obscene messages, Ministry of Justice figures show



24 May 2015



Convictions for crimes under a law used to prosecute internet "trolls" have increased ten-fold in a decade with five a day, official figures reveal.



Last year, 1,209 people were found guilty of offences under Section 127 of the Communications Act 2003 - equivalent to three every day - compared to 143 in 2004.



The MoJ figures also revealed a similar rise in the number of convictions under the Malicious Communications Act, which states that it is an offence to send a threatening, offensive or indecent letter, electronic communication or article with the intent to cause distress or anxiety.



Last year, 694 individuals - the equivalent of two a day - were found guilty of offences under this Act. This is the highest number for at least a decade and more than 10 times higher than the 64 convictions recorded in 2004.



It is a crime under the Communications Act to send "by means of a public electronic communications network" a message or other material that is "grossly offensive or of an indecent, obscene or menacing character".

The Pink Shirt Day website has great resources to report these trolls in Canada.

I see the racist, anti-Semitic, anti-Roman Catholic, sinophobic, f*cked in the head conspiracy nutcase troll ConanDoyle is still writing about the decade and half old draft of Sidewider recently in his idiotic blog.

The Committee found no evidence of substantial and immediate threat of the sort envisaged in the first Sidewinder draft, no evidence that a threat was being ignored through negligence or design, and no evidence that the Government had not been appropriately warned of substantive threats where such existed. Both CSIS and the RCMP continue to investigate similar threats separately.

China also has a Tomb Cleaning holiday as well.  Tomb Cleaning was also observed in North American cities like Los Angeles, Seattle, and Vancouver.

If Shen Li was truly from Singapore, her fictitious grandmother would have insisted that she paid respected to her ancestors in the Tomb Cleaning holiday.  No mention of the the big traffic jam to the graveyards during Tomb Cleaning holiday and the massive amount of flowers in the graveyards.

Funny the fake Asian Shen Li did not mention the Tomb Cleaning holiday which occurred during her fictitious trip in Singapore.

Of course the fake Asian Shen Li does not realize the potential consequences of her racist offensive signature.

Remember the  troll Michael Brutsch who was outed and fired because his offensive posting.
