Save the planet?

1. Nice Freeperism. Guess what; when the planet can no longer sustain 99% of

the life living on it more than just "the people" will be fucked. We'll have fucked over every other life form on earth. It's hardly progressive to think that's OK, and it's hardly sensible to think that allowing earth to turn into a barren rock will mean that the planet will be doin' great. Ask the polar bears, great apes, and songbirds...along with a billion other species-how THEY feel about your selfishness!

2. You don't know where the statement in the OP originated, do you? n/t

[BlueJazz]

3. I don't think she meant it in a way that implies that other creatures don't count.

I believe she means that how can you ask a civilization to "do the right thing" for the populace and organic beings when 50 percent of the populace votes to destroy everything.

4. You didn't get it, did you?

Try reading it again, Lorien.

Then, please tell us what your solution for the problem might be.

Oh, yes: Humans are a species, too. Which members of that species do you find expendable?

It's not nice to call "freeperism," now, is it?

6. George Carlin!!!

The OP is classic George.

7. And the reply was classic knee-jerk.

[Sal Minella]

8. Instead of "The planet is fine"

think "The planet would be fine" without us.

I think your interpretation completely misses what Carlin was actually saying. (jmho)

9. Freeperism?

George is turning in his grave :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

5. Very good poster. I want one.

George Carlin was a genius.

10. Spot-On!

Not freeperism! We have fucked up this planet in every way possible, therefore we have screwed with ourselves. We are all connected, and should be connected to the earth as well. The earth is our best friend. No one treats their best friend the way we have. SHAME ON CORPORATE GREED WHICH MULTIPLIES THE PROBLEM.
