Hum. It's amazing there are any French left. Do they depend on
immigration (with orientation classes for newcomers) to maintain
their numbers?

Talk out of your ass much? You have absolutely no basis for that
claim. Typical of a fundie to believe things for which there is no
evidence.

Scott in Florida

You know dizziot is dumber than a box of rocks. And my sister saw the tests
run several times a day at the plant, she had to reorganize them into
spreadsheets that the plant could fill in daily and have a running record on
the computer. They had to test pH, bacteria count, heavy metal content and
a whole host of other issues. Bottled water only has to be tested for 2
things in Illinois and one is bacteria count. And it only has to be tested
ONCE. Some tests on the water were run every hour, some every other hour.
If it got outside of limits, they literally had to shut off the water, so
they worked to keep it well inside the limits, despite the fact that the
main water pipe out of the plant, a 20 incher, was laid down in the 1880's
or 1890's. . . . They had to replace it shortly after my sister started
with a 24-incher. The 20-incher finally broke after over 110 years of
service.

So I'd say old Dizziot is talking through his hat on this one. Typical
left-wing environmental whacko. Speaks of what he knows not of. My sister
isn't a computer geek, but in the year she was there, she reorganized the
billing function from mostly paper to a computerized system that prints out
uniform billing and tracks receiving and billing uniformly as well. She
knows of what she speaks and she's got the hash marks to prove it.

That's another thing the whippersnappers don't get is hash marks. They
think hash marks are just stripes on a sleeve or something. . . . Usually by
the time you started getting hash marks in service, you'd been through a few
experiences not on the usual list of things to do. Same thing with
computers. If you've been in this business a few years, you've had to
figure your way out of a few problems that weren't on the curricula at
college, or in the textbooks, either. And usually, they were some pretty
tight jams not of your own making. Anyone with hash marks usually has some
common sense, or they don't stay in the business. Except for, apparently,
Gary Burn-More. And we don't get real hash marks like in the service, but
most people in the business a long time develop an quiet attitude, except
when the fit hits the shan. Very similar to Tom Highway in 'Heartbreak
Ridge'. I know you've been around service people with similar attitude.

Bottled water has religious significance for LIEbrawls. They have to carry
it everywhere they go.

Do I find it significant that the French cheese-eating surrender monkeys
started the bottled water craze? Yes. The French? PTUI!

Er, those particular newcomers don't like having to do it orally?

Dumbshit. You were wrong and I was right, so how what does that make
you?

So what, rightard? Just because they don't have to doesn't mean they
don't. Your claims that bottled water looks "like mud" compared to
thoroughly-tested tap-water is not supported by the evidence.

How ironic, from the idiot who spoke of what (the quality of bottled
water) he knew nothing of.

The testing she did is irrelevant, fool. She could have tested until
she was blue in the face and it is not evidence that her resulting tap
water made bottled water "look like mud".

You really take things literally, don't you. He was making a
euphemistic comparison. Surely you are intelligent enough to tell the
difference between sarcasm and reality.

Appearently you're as stupid as your rightarded friend. Lack of
required testing for quality does not mean that testing for quality is
not performed.

The real jist of that article is "bottled water sold in the United
States is not necessarily cleaner or safer than most tap water".

See the weasel words "not necessarily" and "most"? This article is
not claiming that bottled water is necessarily, or even generally,
inferior to tap water. It's just saying that it's not necessarily
better, and gives some example to prove it. Some examples of tap
water would also be "less than ideal", if that was the article that
one wanted to write.

The ONLY way that the fundy's STUPID claim that water leaving his
sister's facitlity made bottled water "look like mud" would be to
directly that grade of water water what a reasonable sampling of
bottled water. I HIGHLY doubt that the result of the comparison would
be that the bottled water was "like mud" in comparision, "government
requirements" or not.
