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!

A dead fish - the human race on self destruct

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!

Is there some reason posts keep disappearing?

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!

"Another anon". Very funny, but wasted on a certain cat-hating weirdo! Try selling the idea to the banking industry, you never know it might work - some people will believe anything.

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!

Memo from Greedy Banker's Federation to Global Financial Thieves Conglomeration.

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.

If we're in the process of destroying planet earth, which I dont believe we are, then its purely academic now. The human race will over populate "our" environment and consume all "our" natural resources in about 50 years anyway. so screw it. to quote a wise man, of mother earth, "she'll survive us all perfectly well when we're all long burried and dead", "clever monkeys with technology, barely out of the caves and the tree's" "its all vanity"

Well done for getting your point across in a non hysterical way....LOL. Your gripe makes you sound like a screaming hippy on a bad trip! If you pull your head out of your bum and stop watching too much news and look out of a window now and again, you might see that this world is FINE!! In the middle of big cities things are not so great but is the planet dying?? No!! This earth will be here a million billion years after the last human has died or evolved itself away. Sure things die, but we humans do not so much compared to the wild(except in the stupidity of war) . Wild animals have a very high mortality rate, in comparison MOST humans die of natural causes. I agree we do pollute waaaay too much.... but..... Get mad at big industry rather than my 83 year old granny because she doesn't reuse her panty diaper. Might as well get mad at cows because they poo too much or beavers because they damn rivers!!!!You are being used as a pawn of the powers that be. They got you so upset on the wrong issues that you are fighting for them against your fellow man/women. How come you think you got all the answers and that everybody else is wrong? It’s a very dangerous position to take.

Mando, and what would the punishment be? Not being allowed to replicate? Take away their Darwinian rights? Forced recycling of their organs through execution, quartering and compulsorily transplanting their bodyparts? remainder going to the glueworks?

I would like to add the minimum characters before saying...no wucking furries,

A lot of people are greedy and self interested and "moderate" anything that gets in their way, they dont need to face the consequences most of the time anyway.....I think that there should be a criminal offence of causing significant damage to mother earth or to the detriment of flora and fauna diversity....look what you have and how special it is....no human will ever be able to replicate what was here when they were born, they wipe a lot out before they expire though, never heard of humans being wiped out by animals getting greedy or a giraffe with a gun.
