Comment on What is a waterproof, eco-friendly alternative to vinyl labeling for products like perfume and body wash? by bluelotussmellslikebananas

I would say only use glass containers and see how far static cling label materials have come. I also like the idea of a soft cloth label attachment, like a small handkerchief, with the company story, message, etc. that can be used as a dustcloth or whatever when the product is finished. The problem with that remains the same - it can be detached from the product. Which is a problem especially of you ship offshore.

Very thin cloth ( like flour sacking ) with a water proof glue. The cloth can be printed with indelible ink ahead of time before gluing. The glue could be one of those watered based glues that becomes water proof after it dries. What about using a rubber stamp with permanent ink, right on the bottles?

At this point in time, we need to create sustainability within ourselves. It has been a very hard year for a lot of people in Canada and the US, and this was a break from all of the stresses of everyday life and an excuse to be excited and celebrate life and sport!

Economically : tourism = more money
socially : gathering of diverse people from all over the world.
environmentally: factories / industries need to close down, so there would be less pollution so to speak.

Comment on Why are people on the left so fond of "other"? by getitright

Wrong. I don’t have the perception that white people are bad nor do I have the perception that heterosexual marriage is bad. I just believe that same-sex couples should have the same right to make the same decision that opposite-sex couples have to marry.

What’s the point of English being the "official" language? Why not let things take their natural course with regards to language? I believe that forcing people through law to speak a specific language is against freedom, if that is your end goal.

With regards to illegal immigration, you ignore the humanity of human beings. Your side wishes to demonize these illegal immigrants when all they’re doing is looking for a better life for themselves and their families. If you think we don’t have the resources, your beef should be with the government, not them.

The rich running everything and therefore having all the power IS bad. The point of democracy is the PEOPLE rule, not the rich.

And with regards to Christianity, I view all religions that idolize a "God", not only Christianity, as bad, but that’s just my personal belief. My perception or religion is that it is merely a reflection of the assumptions that humans made throughout history; not necessarily the UNADULTERATED TRUTH.

I would think that this belief stems from a heavy fear of corporations and monopolies...as a leftist myself, I would hope that world does not conform to one belief system and have future generations be brainwashed by it. I think questioning is always important.

I believe you are an intelligent and educated person whose views are unfortunately colored by an excessive fear of the "other".

When they were in school, nobody wanted anything to do with them because they just can’t grasp logic. So, in order to get attention, they started disagreeing with everything.. And for someone that can’t understand logic, they continue to cling to that strategy.
Sad isn’t it….

. English as the official language: don’t care
Heterosexual marriage: stupid to discriminate if it causes no harm
Clamping down on illegal immigration: good
Capitalism: needs to be moderated but is not bad or good
Christianity: stupid yes, but it is your right
