Avatar (film)/Headscratchers/RDA: Difference between revisions

* I got a scenario for you: there's this Company, this big powerful Company; they found this place with important deposits of a very valuable mineral, but there's a forest with an impressive variety of animal and plant life on top of the mineral as well as a settlement of natives there. Now in order to acquire the mineral the Company has to destroy the forest and run the natives out of their homes; will it endanger their health or even lives? Yes. Will it leave ANY benefit to the natives? No. Does the Company goes trough with it? Of course! Why should the Company care about these people? They're not their people. Now what [[Tropers/Maki P|I am]] talking about? The Plot of Avatar? ''Wrong!'', I'm talking about the situation the population of Costa Rica and Canadian Company '''Infinito Gold'''. Infinito wanted to bulldoze a large area of primary forest in order to mine gold, using '''''cyanide''''' that would leak into the water reserves the people in the region drank; and the operation would leave practically no revenues to the country. Similar situations have taken place in other countries like Argentina and Peru and the experience was disasterous, so obviously we fought back, and won; open-pit minning was declared illegal in Costa Rica. But it may be just for now, ''Infinito'' tried suing the Judges for libel, and have been attacking the country with laws since then.
