It's weird, its almost like HOW you say something means as much as WHAT you say. The overall tone of your post comes across asshole-ish.
Ah, the sock puppet account of the "moderator" speaks out.
I'm glad I made you feel uncomfortable.

The GP said nothing about genetic superiority.
If anything they were "guilty" of nationalism and hyperbole.
I pointed out the same thing as you but got modded into Troll oblivion. Not sure if that's because the moderator cannot understand English, or if they just didn't get to you yet, or if the mod was a Chinese agent and is out of points (and his co-agents are busy)..

Bamboo engineered materials are superior to almost anything else we currently use for certain applications.
I spec laminated bamboo structural panels for designs requiring better strength, dimensional stability and vibrational attenuation than current engineered wood products
It even exceeds some traditional metal structural elements in certain applications.
It also costs about 3x as much as other wood for the panels I use, so no one uses it for cost savings. But it does justify that cost with a lot of extra value.
Bamboo does happen to also grow in China, like it does in much of the world, but that does not justify your blind bigotry and racism against a building material.
Seriously? Racism, against plants that happen to grow near by people you don't like? You must be very intelligent.
TRANSLATION:
I work in the bamboo building industry on interior design, and I am telling you that the material is
three times as expensive (so nobody uses it).
You are saying that bamboo would be too expensive,
and that the carbon footprint would be high,
and that it is inappropriate for building things like
towers, skyscrapers, and airport terminals.
And you also complain that it is a major fire hazard.
You mention that the main supplier would be China,
which is true. But you're saying all those things
makes you a RACIST MONSTER!

Comment Fairfax, VA (Score 2) 16
We were out for over 9 hours here in Fairfax (VA suburb of Washington, DC). I live on the border of Fairfax and Alexandria (also near Arlington).
Service stopped around noon (maybe a little before, or after; I didn't notice right away and then thought it was just me. It came back at 9:34 PM.
During the outage I was able to text message at least some Verizon customers. But when it came back, I got a flood of texts from other people who I think are on other carriers. During the outage my FIOS internet worked fine (no land line though).
For some reason, my iPhone was unable to make calls over Wifi. I had that enabled, but dialing a number did the same thing as a carrier call: an instant "Call Failed". No matter what I was trying to call.
People on the Internet around here said that there was also no way to call 911 from any phone on Verizon Wireless.
This was a massive disaster affecting public safety, as well as the government and military. Verizon is the biggest carrier here in the D..C. area.
