Gromnir Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 april 22, 2017 am not a dyed-in-wool evironmentalist, but with the proposed march on washington o' american scientists objecting to trump's alternative facts, policies (stalinist policies?) regarding the release o' scientific findings, and his often comical (but potential dangerous) beliefs regarding a wide range o' issues such as climate change and vaccinations, am expecting this will be the first earth day we look forward to. previous earth days has been met with Gromnir indifference or perhaps a fleeting desire to punch a hippie in the face. HA! Good Fun! 6 "If there be time to expose through discussion the falsehood and fallacies, to avert the evil by the processes of education, the remedy to be applied is more speech, not enforced silence."Justice Louis Brandeis, Concurring, Whitney v.

Meshugger Posted February 4, 2017 Share Posted February 4, 2017 The earth is fine and will be fine, it's humanity that is ****ed with overpopulation in Asia and the looming demographic explosion in Africa.

I have never understood this whole "lets belittle a movement by completely mistating what that movement is." People do that with BLM too. You can state a reasonable objection about a movement without coming across as daft. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malcador Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 (edited) Hopefully that march will have a fun turnout.

Amusingly, the Saturday immediately before that is also a target date for some significant anti-Trump activity.

pmp10 Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 The earth is fine and will be fine, it's humanity that is ****ed with overpopulation in Asia and the looming demographic explosion in Africa. You can easily turn that around and say that the problem is really us. First world humans refusing to give up their standards of life.

Barothmuk Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 You can easily turn that around and say that the problem is really us. First world humans refusing to give up their standards of life.This kind of slave mentality seems to plague the environmentalist left. i.e. they'll pin the issue of unsustainable resource exploitation onto all of us, condemning us all and encouraging us each to all do our part. Pretty words but hardly gets to the crux of the issue. I already live a fairly "green life": I limit my water consumption, I carpool with coworkers and I limit the amount of electricity I use - not because I'm some green lifestylist but because I'm a normal person and using gas, electricity and water frivolously would be expensive. In reality the guilty party are those who actually control vast swathes of land and resources and use these things unsustainably for short term profit. Truly whose the bigger offender: every lazy bastard like me who can't always be bothered to separate my recyclables from my non-recyclables or the guys bulldozing the amazon for more farm land. Of course I'm guessing you're not one of these liberals but instead a death-cult minded right-winger who seems to throw up their hands when it comes to issues pertaining to the environment.

BruceVC Posted February 5, 2017 Share Posted February 5, 2017 At least most of mankind is aware of what harms the earth and we are generally committed to a sustainable lifestyle as far as the ecosystem is concerned So no need for guilt or thoughts of mass genocide of all humans...that seems very excessive and unhelpful 1 "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
