Why are environmentalists so critical of people?

Question

“If you ask me, it’d be a little short of disastrous for us to discover a source of clean, cheap, abundant energy because of what we would do with it…” – Amory Lovins, Rocky Mountain Institute.

We must make this an insecure and inhospitable place for capitalists and their projects….

The extinction of the human species may not only be inevitable but a good thing....This is not to say that the rise of human civilization is insignificant, but there is no way of showing that it will be much help to the world in the long run.

Answer 1

oh my god....the john davis smallpox quote...they have to follow through and be very consistent, not like i love trees, but i also love the new treeburger at mcdonalds. you know?

consistency, radical individuals that will save a pile of dirt over their daughter, it's just what they do. like applejacks commercials.

i don't know what you're trying to prooooooove though

Answer 2

"Liberals" do not have voices.

Proof: Conserfatives have me by the ba##s.

I'm a former law enforcement deputy / desk riding cop. Yet I cannot legally claim any copywrite. Conserfatives say so. It's a License; I'm married to the male nurse (against my will) and divorced from same (ditto). Thus "I lost my rights because I was "of bad charactor".

I guess that's what I get for saying "Your Under Arrest" to a crowd just after GWB shook my hand and walked away, after discovering they were there to sell d ope.

Yes, they shot me.

Yes, everyone in that crowd was rewarded for "being there for GWB".

Yes, GWB likely did this in all 50 states "to build faturnity", in that conserfatives then and now think government can legally kill law enforcement at will, and blame the crowd with them, threatening the crowd with "secret charges of treason" and a firing squad (a reality under War Powers).

What does this mean?

De@dbeat dad laws are to conserfatives a license to literally murder and steal and the means to cover it up with inuendo, and propaganda (gossip), while forbidding any discussion or debate (cause government "must protect the children).

They are a means to deny anyone a right to print anything anywhere, without a conserfative having the "legal right" to claim copywrite against any origionating author.

So whom do you quote?

Fools.

Because conserfatives "are legally empowered to create fools of anyone" for treatment of "tax kleptomania" ~ because the constitution is with them and that makes us all theives of tax money ~ would be "redistributors". Redistribution of one fellow's tax money to pay for public schools is unconstitutional according to the Great Reagan ~ master proponent of the voucher ~. Taking money unconstitutionally is "wrong", especially when it is a crime against nature (after all, sick persons shouldn't breed  ~ in Reagan's eyes we were all too sick to live ~ so artificially "bolstering up the mentally ill ~ with tax kleptomania ~", well that's a crime against nature...).

Get a clue yet? Fool?

Answer 3

The truth is......And take heart.

It's the "Bigoted White" regime in disguise.

Don't believe me?  Go to a Rally and see who is there.

Take a good look around......Whether it's Greenpeace, Moveon.org or just the general Tree Huggers, the majority of them are WASP.   They're not allowed to take their aggressions out on people-----So they mask their agendas through causes.  

The feel superior to the rest of the world.......And know what's better for you and me......Why?  Because they see us as though we don't have a brain, let alone the aptitude to "Think for Ourselves"

To be honest......There's less racial diversity than ever before but nobody's talking about that......Walk into a Starbucks and who do you see there?  Everyone from a Gap Commercial.  It's the chosen ones that feel gratified to drop $5.00 for a 25 cent glorified cup of Joe.....But will complain about any increase in the price of gas........If you do the math, a Gallon of Seattle Finest would cost about $17 to 20 dollars.

But that's OK......

Same way with "Feminists".   They've been taking their inadequacies out on MEN for over 35 years.  It's their inabilities to accept us for what we are that has sparked this backlash.  Why am I so angry?  They've reuined the traditional family unit yet gone unscathed over it.  

Since when is two people of the opposite s*x considered "Diversity"?  

True diversity is a "Man and a Woman"  

Two same s*x is the inability to function......It's basically never leaving the Fraternity.

But eventually.......Even Frat members have to go out into the world and leave their comfort zone behind.

That is, if they decide to mature and see life.

But maybe we've got it all wrong.......Maybe women were born to play GOLF and HIT HOMERUNS.  

Thanks for letting me see the light.

Answer 4

As you can tell, from the small sample of anti-human comments from many sources in the environmental community, these  people hate humans.  And unfortunately, that is a common denominator of most groups, the Sierra Club, the Audubon Society, the Wilderness Society, and most others.  It is to the point that if you are an environmentalist, you hate people-good points, keep up the good work-

Answer 5

So !!! What  are you trying to prove ? That environmentalists are too single minded to care for people's welfare ? That they would rather see the extinction of the human race to save their environment? That the human being is the shortsighted one destroying the world ? Don't assume, because the environmentalist is well educated, that he isn't biased. Have you seen any of these proposing plans which would accomodate both man and beast ? You won't !! Not in this lifetime!!

Answer 6

It's their job. I suppose they get money off of it- therefore, it pays for them to say what they say. They also tend to be popular because of it in certain circles.
