The human race on self destruct
|
The greedy selfish human race, that’s my gripe. What gives us the right to destroy our planet and think that it is ours to do with as we wish, so that we don’t care about any other living creature that we share the with. They have as much right to live on this planet as we do! |

We’re living in the crazy times with wildlife habitat destruction, deforestation, over fishing and the mindless killing of intelligent creatures like whales etc. Some of these animals, fish and plants are already classified as endangered, so what are we playing at here? Are we going to do tear down everything until there is absolutely nothing left? Here’s an old proverb that I think sums it all up nicely. "We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors; we merely borrow it from our children." |

We can do so much to help protect our environment if we just open our eyes and do what is right. For starters, it should be made law to recycle paper, plastics, cans and anything else that can be reused! We need trees and so do other animals, birds and insects etc. More should be done to protect them and recycle what we’ve got instead of consuming natural resources as if they were limitless. The government should make local recycle points easy for every one to use, and fine people who don’t recycle. Humans are on self destruct unless we change! By: Ogrestoes

Take the UK for instance, overcrowded, lack of housing, having to import food and materials; if the population of the UK was at a more sensible level of let’s say five to ten million life would be so much better for all of us, yet we “import” more and more people each year, total madness!
We now have China buying up much of the world’s natural resources, minerals, oil etc.
It has been said that if China wants to attain the same standard of living as Europe it would take another SIX planet earths to supply the resources!
Sooner all later the population of the earth will become unsustainable.
I reckon we are heading back to the Stone Age, purely by overpopulating the planet.
My post below was in answer to "i hate cats 2" 's post saying that cat lovers are the reason the world is in dire straits.
A lot of the posts here will not make much sense if you remove the gripes to which they were replying!

After all, in the middle ages illiterate, superstitious fools used to burn harmless old woman they believed were witches and their cat "familiars" with them.
Let me know when the flash mob against the bankers is going to take place eh?
Oh, by the way, I read a well researched report by a leading university that people who like cats have IQs about 15 points higher than those who hate them!
Re: global recession caused by greedy financiers and inept, corrupt politicians and resulting in untold hardship to hardworking people.
Is it possible that we could convince the public that we did not cause this catastrophe and that, in fact, that nice 80 year old , retired factory worker Mrs Smith who lives next door to "i hate cats 2" and finds comfort in her lonely life by loving her affectionate little cat Sooty caused the whole mess?
Is it possible that anyone would be insane enough or sufficiently stupid to believe this?
Answers as soon as possible please as the villagers, carrying what looks like flaming torches, are massing outside corporate headquarters.

Nature was gifted to us by God when we came on this earth and it served us in many forms. Now, it is our turn to help nature. How can we be so selfish and think only about ourselves? What about those poor animals who are helpless. Man is the creature who is the most intelligent but I think he is the stupidest and stone hearten. He neither thinks for the nature nor his profit. We have to do something before its too late. SAVE NATURE FOR YOUR OWN FUTURE,
