Some people must care more about nature than others.

Mostly it's them damn commie, fascist, socialist, lib-rhuls.

Not really.


It's usually the militant environmentalists.

Or just deep ecologists.

Not everyone who considers the nature world an equal to themselves is a terrorist, you know.

Environmentalists actually do things, militants rabble rouse.

The internet is full of them.

By Eywa! It staggers me that some don't see what's wrong with bringing about the deaths of 4 million creatures and disrupting several thousand others in the interests of a few bastard farmers? Anybody who thinks this is alright needs their head examining with an axe in my humble opinion.

Case and point.

Thank you good sir, for completely justifying my position.

I don't think you quite understand. I was pointing out the danger of militant environmentalism, and its proponents. And then you come in here threatening violence on those who disagree with you.

Mana from Heaven.

I understand all too well thank you. The only danger I see on here are those who'd happily let millions of birds die and not even care. God only knows what other atrocities you'd be ok with.

More people die from smoking each year. >_>


War, poverty, disease, but we're going to rabble rabble rabble about 4 million birds?
If you're that bothered, write your congressmen.

Good Lord, you've got to be kidding. Honestly? I do not wish death on blackbirds.

I just could care less about it. In other words, does it really matter at all? If they aren't in danger of extinction, it isn't a problem.

As for the "commie, fascist, socialist, lib-rhuls" thing (that makes me wonder if you truly understand what conservatives believe, and don't just rely soley on web-net-wisdom, olbermann, and 4chan... probably do), I really don't get the gameplay. It's like I might as well rebut with "Some people like to focus on things that matter, like actual humans. Mostly it's them damn 'conservative, rich, capitalist fat-cat, fundies'.

Really?

I mean...




...really?

Discussion, not debate.

Make a thread in the debate section if you like

You, Mister, should really change that username, for these words are showing something so fundamentally different from anything even remotely like a "seed of the sacred tree" that it hurts.

There is simply nothing one can say about that - except maybe with the hand touching my axe, (as was pointed out already or in analogy to what I write in the next paragraph).

So what if I would go and defend these birds, my fellow beings, part of the great life on this planet by removing the poison they lay out. What do you think will happen? The farmer would ask me to stop, right? So if I continue he will call the sheriff. Then he will tell me to stop. So if I still continue, because if I don't birds are going to die, He will place his hand on the right side of his belt and tell me that I have to come with him. Now who exactly is threatening violence on those who disagree with the idea that one can simply poison birds because they cause "economical damage"?

Yeah that surely will help. He is probably exactly like you two here, thinking "Who cares, some stupid dead birds, but look at all the $$$ we loose if we let them live!"

Same here. I cannot understand an insane person with such an utter disregard of life. And honestly, I am not trying anymore to understand a person with the wetiko disease like you two. I would go utterly insane myself - so I will stick to wondering how it came to be that obviously a majority of people at this time in history is infected and what to do to change that.

So, now we've got two people who wish death by axe over of all things, birds.

And I'm called insane...

Isard, I believe this is the part where we nod at each other and depart from this thread.

You're right, it wont help. Because you wont do it.
