The Environmental Thread

[Gandalf]

You are in denial, Beanz.

Maybe you will have to change, but me not so much. Africa will have to change. Families will have to change. And the environment will continue to corrode regardless as nothingof significance is being done to stop it.

BTW, if you take issue with any of my assertions don't just make things up. Back up what you say to prove me otherwise. Otherwise it looks like you cannot handle debate.

I feel no guilt or responsibility. It isn't me lacking empathy for the planet by being morally feckless.

Blaming overpopulation is just another example of parroting neo liberal dogma in order to avoid confronting the real issue. There is more than enough food and resources but if you want to continually defend the incredibly unequal distribution of that and the maintenance of a hyper elite class you will of course turn on and attack the poor.

Blame single mothers, pretend all black families have been abandoned by their fathers, pretend that anyone not having gold reserves are feckless and responsible for squandering resources, blame the EU, blame lefties, blame anti fascists, blame champagne socialists, blame immigrants and victims of war, pretend climate change is a hoax. Anything but confront the fact that the changes needed will mean a different way of living for the west because to pretend otherwise will end up in our own extinction.

There are so many made up arguments that I will simply leave it at that. You say I try to make you look stupid, but you do that on your own. You live in fantasy land and you know it. 'All black families have been abandoned by their mothers' is a case in point. You twist and exaggerate and it is almost like you cannot help yourself. Stop making things up. See, you lie all the time. There is just so much wrong with your post that I refuse to even give you the air.

Overpopulation. You cannot double a population every few decades and expect infinite benefits.

So does this mean your anti-Viagra, Cialis?

People can take Viagra all they like. I just think the more people there are the more resources will be consumed and thus the environment will continue to suffer. There will come a tipping point from which we won't return. It won't be the end of the world and those with resources will be fine, but it will be serious suffering for billions. I am not sure it is worth it when you can just have less children. However, people won't change and thus the consequences will be what they will be.

Gotcha! Just thought with all those boners, leads to the act of babymaking!
