symbols

lol @ earth hour. i guess ppl like to feel like they are doing things. really though, turning the lights off for an hour?

"'This provides an extraordinary symbol and an indication that we can be part of the solution'" to global warming, Australian Environment Minister Peter Garrett told Sky News television..." How?

You're gonna have to turn the lights off for a lot longer than that. Burn yr fucking deathhouse murder/rape factory "farms" to the fucking ground. And take the planes out of the sky. And shut the factories down. Turn off the oil rigs. Get all vehicles out of commission. And so on.

I'm not sure if Garrett is delusional or if he is trying to work some shit where he helps to convince ppl that shit really ain't that bad and that the incalculable problems we are facing can be solved, or even addressed, by such simple measures.

Example - "'We're not only talking the talk, we're walking the walk,' he said as the hour ended. 'Whatever your view is about the magnitude of the problem ... we can save money by using energy wisely and efficiently, and that gives us the added bonus of reduced greenhouse gas emissions.'"

What a sad state when turning off the fucking lights in yr house for an hour is really taking a stand. Jesus christ. Talk about pissing in the ocean.

And let me tell you, I am virtually certain that Garrett does not know my view of the "magnitude of the problem"

pig fuck troops running free

it's not just implied. they can do whatever they want. i thought that the military only went after you if you did something really fucked up that got publicized, but i guess that's not even true. i feel embarrassed for having something resembling faith in the military, even if that faith was only in them trying to demonstrate that they did not sanction the most egregious transgressions against the innocent.

holding on

look. some people at yale got together to assuage fears that "going green" will precipitate economic decline in america. no, quite to the contrary, they proffer - "Even under worst case assumptions the economy would continue to grow." it's a pretty confined set of assumptions and excludes things like the economy collapsing because it's fundamentally predicated on petroleum or world war three coming because those whose fortunes are tied to petroleum refuse to try their hands at new methods of exploitation/money making. so yeah, yale economists are telling us that the shitty industrial party can just drag on forever. clinging to false ideas, lies and bad dreams cannot change the coming reality.

what are we doing?

whatever makes the fucking money come in. alter everything. ruin, ruin, ruin. we are fucked. whatever shitstorms come our way, we only deserve worse.

stupid ideas

as a vegan, and a person who tries to think about things, i do not deplore this. yes, it's fucking stupid. but it's not like this is the "bad" strip club and the rest are fine. any kind of male-centric, heteronormative strip club is gonna be problematic, cause to paraphrase the proprietor of this establishment, the meat is on the stage. as for this particular institution, the dude who runs it is a loser. his use of the term "feminazis" should be evidence enough, but before this, he ran a pirate-themed vegan eatery and then briefly tried his hand at a vegan sports bar. not kidding. and the food blows.

as far as vegans reviling this place, it's not like it really has much reflection on veganism. really, is anyone gonna say "oh well vegans are sexist, i'm not gonna be vegan"? no. that will not happen. homeboy is an idiot and an abject failure. this will sink into obscurity, occasionally to be remembered only in passing anecdotes. just another strip club looking for its niche.

saying sorry

that's cool. but what are they gonna do about all the effects of it? you know, the things with which we are still living today? could these apologies be bellwethers of reparations? doubtful. i just don't see it in this country.

smashed with the hammer of humanity

one of the most recent dramatic diversions set upon us by commie liberal dog fuckers to convince us that this "global warming" is other than a myth dreamed up by the zog.

it was there for maybe fifteen hundred years. lol @ permanence! didn't take us very long to dislodge that ice. it was just sitting there anyway! what was it doing? frozen water is boring!!

"While icebergs naturally break away from the mainland, collapses like this are unusual but are happening more frequently in recent decades, Vaughan said. The collapse is similar to what happens to hardened glass when it is smashed with a hammer, he said.

The rest of the Wilkins ice shelf, which is about the size of Connecticut, is holding on by a narrow beam of thin ice. Scientists worry that it too may collapse. Larger, more dramatic ice collapses occurred in 2002 and 1995."

just more evidence that literally no part of the world is safe from our selfish ravaging. this, like every indication that we have constructed a global catastrophe and are accelerating it daily, will fall into the canyon of apathetic bliss while we waste time talking about hybrid cars, "green" business practices and solar-powered factories. an unimaginably powerful hurricane swirls around us, intensifying ceaselessly, and we say "my, it is a bit windy today." sustainable industry - yeah, right.

laughin with jc!

what the fuck? comedy that constantly harps on racial stereotypes is "clean?" what a stupid bunch of christians. as long as they don't talk about sex or speak with profanity, it's fine, huh? watching people degrade themselves and their ancestry is sad. watching them get the crowd going by repeating "funny" versions of classic racist tropes, i feel like they are doing more damage than they would be were they making lascivious jokes - especially when it's been given the christian seal of moral approval.
