Question

Why do these environmentalists want us all to be like them.....

Public Transport in Britain is shite but they want us to use it

Crazy 'disaster merchants' coming away with global warming nonsense. In a free country , I have the right to choose to drive my own car and not cycle in the cold , rain and fog. The s****. contempt they show to the common working man is disgraceful. Middle Class tree-huggers filled with political correct mumbo-jumbo.

Answer 1

Public transportation is London is fricking fabulous!!!  Way better than anything in the States (besides New York).  Also, since when are environmentalists middle class..most I know ARE the common hardworking man.

Answer 2

Right there mate

Answer 3

Quite the contrary.  Anyone who is paying attention and who is honest with themselves can clearly see that it is conservative types who require that everyone else be like them.

That&#039;s their very nature. Orthodoxy.

I assume that you are drawing a conservative verses liberal point here.  

Liberals are open minded, open to all kinds of people, inclusive, open to change.

Whereas, conservatives are exclusive, close minded, unwilling to change.  

All the liberties and freedoms that Americans enjoy are by their very nature liberal ideas.  

I thought the s****. contempt was coming from those who want to make policies that only benefit the rich at the expense of the working people who you are talking about.  Working people haven&#039;t had a real raise in buying power in about 35 years, while conservatives want to give more tax breaks to those who are the wealthiest 2%, and whose wealth has been growing by leaps and bounds while the working man is going backwards. And while promoting these policies they have the gall  to call liberals elitist.  Ironic, since they are the ones supporting the elite at the expense of the rest of us.

That&#039;s the conservative brand of political correctness.  Don&#039;t tell the truth about how things really are, because then you must be some kind of communist or something.  For them it is politically incorrect to voice any kind of dissent, or to call for real democracy instead of the corporate oligarchy that we have now.  And for them it is politically incorrect to point out that we are destroying our mother earth, because it might be inconvenient for them to have to make changes.

Answer 4

I really don&#039;t think i can add anything to what you have said!

and well said it is too.

do you think it&#039;s because they get paid huge amounts of money to think of new and exciting ways to restrict those that disagree with them? i do.

Answer 5

Shut the h**l up! We nature freaks have the right to say whatever we want to. We just don&#039;t want the world to die out. In the near future, this world will be so terrible, we&#039;ll be living indoors if it gets so bad that we&#039;ll have to stay inside. The world will become a gigantic hot ball because of asses like you who don&#039;t care about the world.

Answer 6

There are a lot of generalisations in your question that are innaccurate; not all our public transport is &#039;shite&#039; as you put it, and quite frankly I&#039;d rather get from London Victoria to Brighton in 50 minutes on a nice comfortable train then sit in traffic jams on the M23 for 4 hours without anywhere to pee, and I&#039;d rather stand on the London Underground for 20 minutes to reach my suburban home then sit in another traffic jam fot 90 minutes. You have the right to sit in your cramped little car if you wish but do you have the right to pollute and kill the planet??? That is the question. And yes I do hug trees. And if you don&#039;t love the natural landscape and trees and plants how can you love living or another person. The natural ecology of the earth is what sustains human life and if we kill it all, then we will all be dead too.

Answer 7

Selfishness rules o.k.

Answer 8

you cant stop me from hugging trees, muahahahahahaha

Answer 9

You obviously need a dose of reality. We are not forcing you to take public transportation if your rich wallet can by you a Cadillac, all we are saying is something has to be done about global warming. If you don&#039;t want to take public transportation, fine by me. Maybe fluorescent bulbs are better for you, or fuel efficient appliances? If you are fine with the pollution, good for you. But don&#039;t speak about those of us who want to reverse the damage man has done to this world. How self centered are you?

Answer 10

Probably because they think the Caveman lived more comfortably than we do and that&#039;s why they want us to regress and go backwards.

I am telling you I will not hunt my steak and I refuse to ride a dinosaur to work!

Answer 11

You have the right to, but ultimately gas prices / oil supply will force you to use public, likely electric transport [Which is admittedly **** everywhere], get microgenerators [solar / wind], get an electric vehicle, or bicycle.

You keep your expensive freedom. I&#039;m getting an EV, and after I have some money, either solar power or a small wind turbine.

Answer 12

well parly if u r luking for a real answer i will tell u why.

I am not exactly an environmentalist talking the banners aroung but i do share the thought that this EARTH needs to be taken CARE of.

human activities have actually disturbed the cycles of nature, the ways it functions. ( biological, marine, geological cycles)(i say u get a knowledge of them first).

The ignorant (which u seem to b) nature of the human race in the 19th and 20th century has lead to a disbalance in nature. Excessive emmssions, to land, soil and air has lead to ppl (and other life if u care) have direct or indirect effects on their health. The air pollutants (which is very much a result of your gas guzzlers) causes 5 000 premature deaths each year in canadian major cities only (thats only the data i cud find). In all, 13 million ppl die each year due to env problems.

Now i wont ask/force u to get a public transport or cycle, just keep ur vehicle in an excellent working condition and make sure the euro norms are followed. That shud b gud enough, and if the whole world follw these norms, i m sure the problem will be contained.

ps: use energy efficiently, at home and outside.

pls switch off any equipment not in use.
