    kind of hard to use the fertilizer properly if you cant read the directions, cause i highly doubt they dont have them in any language other than english. (dont know this for 100%, but its just a feeling i have, mostly because the american government thinks they own the world).

    Let us not forget the it was the eureuropean industrial revolution that cause all this global warming and NOT the chinese. I know stupid eurotrash need to have an escape goat to justify their meaningless existance in this world. but hey get a real life!!

    On this so call Earth day let us americans celebrate the casualities of the american made "explosive toxic pollution" in the world. and its 100 year legacy.

    (1) Thirty years ago, the U.S. armed forces dropped a hundred thousand tonnes of bombs, some weighing as much as 1,000 kilogrammes, in the area around Khe Sanh. Overall, U.S. forces pummelled Vietnam with close to eight million tonnes of bombs.The Vietnamese government estimates as many as 800,000 cluster bombs and M-79 mortars are still in the soil — and most of them have not exploded yet. Thirty-five percent of the land in Central Vietnam --the region most affected by unexploded ordnance and the toxic waste left in the soil and water these land cannot be farmed and ever used.
    (2) While the Khmer Rouge were the worst offenders, deliberately targeting the civilian population with mines and booby traps, all sides have shown blatant disregard for the long-term consequences of the use of mines. Furthermore, the blame extends beyond the warring factions. Their patrons... the Chinese, the Soviets, the Americans, and a host of smaller nations... continued to supply the weapons with callous indifference to the effects of their actions. The CMAC reports that mines found in Cambodia have been manufactured in the United States, China, Vietnam, the former USSR and East Germany, the former Czechoslovakia, India, Chile, South and North Korea, Thailand, Iran, Iraq, South Africa, Bulgaria, the former Yugoslavia, Hungary, and Poland.
    (3) The United States, during the nine year Secret War, executed more than 580,000 bombing missions over Laos, and released over two tons of bombs per person altogether about 2 million tons of bombs.Cluster bombs, known as 'bombi' to the local people, were developed in order to improve the 'efficiency' of aerial attacks, particularly against "soft" targets like personnel (i.e.man woman children and babies ). The most common type in Laos is the BLU 26, spherical objects which, similar to grenades, release hundreds of metal pieces of shrapnel at high velocity.
