  1.  @sjbock  The Aral Sea was many, many times bigger than the Salton Sea, and was also natural. It was the boundary between nations for centuries.

  2. She seemed a genuinely nice woman.

  3. The Soviet Union appears to have produced two of the biggest manmade disasters of modern times. The Aral Sea is one of them. Chernobyl probably the other, although there were other terrible nuclear accidents in the USSR.

  4.  @Boris82  Yes, I think so. I've known a few beautiful women who were evil. When their looks go, as they usually do, you end up with a woman with no looks and no charm.

  5.  @alexden7714  Human irrigation projects were already taking place then in some places. But yes, there is an obvious correlation between Soviet irrigation/hydro projects and the Aral Sea issue. They started in a big way in the mid twentieth century and then a decade or two later it went into heavy decline

  6. Wikipedia gets something right for once. A tragedy especially for the people who used to catch fish there.

  9.  @MiaogisTeas  I remember reading about it in the National Geographic back in the nineties. A lot of issues. Pesticide and fertiliser build up, and even a former biological weapons facility (which used to be on an island) now adjoined to the mainland.

  10. Funnily enough Amazon Prime might take it. They have picked up some quirky YouTube series including ThugNotes.

  11.  @Boris82  She seemed pleasant enough. I knew a man who married a woman from school. She was beautiful but evil.

  12.  @alexden7714  I've replied to you elsewhere about this.

  13.  Tim Garmany  I think "we" refers to humans rather than you and me personally.

  14.  @pannenkoekspek  There are too many of these things. Not that the ex-USSR is the only place with potential issues. Japan has the best run nuclear plants in the world but even it had the Fukushima incident.

  15.  @photoisca7386  True, but it was never meant maliciously and it is the kind of thing which has happened in the US on a smaller scale. On the other hand, the same cannot be said of Soviet nuclear disasters... Or Saddam Hussein's deliberate draining of the Marsh Arabs' home.

  16.  @scpmr  Either English isn't your first language, or you didn't read what I said properly. Whichever one it is, it is not cool to call someone insane. You missed the word "never".

  17.  @alexden7714  They stopped the rivers flowing into there. The same has happened in other countries.

  18.  @nykos222  Not really. Apples and oranges. Just wait to see what's coming next.

  19. I've stayed in places with views of brickwalls for more than that.

  20. We're all being played.
