Just what we need.....

by jsmith1785 June 7, 2007 2:59 PM PDT

Those damned environmentalists putting their BS into great programs like Google Earth. Can't even enjoy the photos without their crap now. That entire "Global Awareness" category, needs removed.

2. It's your choice, to blind to the things that happen around us.; Like this View reply Hide reply

If this is not what we need, then you tell me how do we stop those companies that hire killers to murder land owners just to get their land so they can rape it like an uncontrollable pedophile turned loose in an elementary school with no monitoring.

And DON'T EVEN TRY TO DISCREDIT, OR SAY ANYTHING AGAINST THIS STATEMENT UNTIL YOU FULLY VIEW THE FOLLOWING MOVIES:

If you had left out your pedophile-rape-murder analogy, which shows that you are thinking with emotions more than reason (or at least appealing to emotion more than reason), perhaps I would have considered your arguement. Instead it has been filed with the rest of the tree huggers.; Like this

Google Earth maps are old..!!
by imacpwr June 10, 2007 7:39 PM PDT: And how did I determine the maps are old..? Simple, I looked at my
parents home via Google Earth and the motor home which they
sold well over 3 years ago can plainly be seen parked in their
driveway still..; Like this Reply to this comment

Amazing opportunity for students
by Leslie619 June 20, 2007 3:35 PM PDT: In the current climate of education cuts, field trips are being reduced. Here's a way to visit multiple locations related to the curriculum without paying tour guides, entry fees or transportation costs.; Like this Reply to this comment
