Well the OP was more about how corporate consumerism is fucking up the planet's shit.
I suppose too many people might be a problem for the priviliged and wealthy.
That may be why we have wars and atom bombs.
Anyhow the planet, life and humanity as a whole should have a bill of rights.
The right to clean air, water, the right not to be killed, this should include animals me thinks. Eating dead flesh is nasty when ya think about it.
I northern climates there aint no way around eating some meat. Still we dont really need to eat that much.
The explosion of obesity around the planet is stricking indeed.
They should close Walmart for that reason alone, too many fat blobs waddling about consuming and consuming..

They have been abusing their "exceptional" position and sucking the world dry for their masters and now they want the raped world to help them because it's the only way.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
You may find that the way is for the precious, exceptional, populations is to lower their living standards, get used to being cold for six months, eat less refined foods, as the groups you suggest should stop breeding have to endure the heat, the lack of clean water, the lack of education, the lack of health care NOW.
No, you made again, a statement trying to blame some groups for the problem. You suggested the named groups should stop breeding.
A derogatory phrase in itself. Possibly the named group have space to expand, possibly the group if not being continually drugged/raped/massacred by the colonialists would have improved their lifestyles.Originally Posted by harrybarracuda
As you maybe are aware many Asian families raise kids as their OAP.
Some developing countries have been doing this for many centuries. As we are seeing now, the "developed" countries retirees are now finding the expected OAP do not allow them to live the dream, as promised by the "developed" countries politicians and taxed to pay for it, during their working lives.
Has the reducing birth rate in developed countries helped the situation or have their exceptional populations just found ways on how to indulge in more frivolous expenditure of the earths resources?
This environmental finger pointing is another example of the so called "developed" countries trying to make somebody else pay for their ever growing list of f..ckups.
What's the energy consumption per person in a developed country v a developing one, what's the calories consumption, what's the tonnage of waste created, what's the expected length of their lives..........

Although social and economic improvements have played a major role in increasing demand for contraception, the provision of services and information has been shown to have had an independent effect on attitudes and behavior.

Correct, and the only way to know which questions are the right ones is to understand the issues. Your blog fed anti establishment rants prove that you don't have that understanding.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Superb thesis earl. Without the Harvard referencing it's just another useless opinion. You should have posted it in the daily rant thread.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
It seems pretty obvious that the eco-warrior anti-capitalist brigade are yet to face up to the ultimate destination of their statist dream:
There are just too many people. Everything else is dancing around that fact. It's simple maths. The Earth and all its resources are a finite, closed system, you increase one variable, it will have an impact. The variable of anthropomorphic climate change puts the focus on climate rather than the anthropo- bit. You can have the same level of industrialisation with a much lower global human population, and dramatically reduce the impact of that industrialisation on global systems. It's obvious, but never discussed.

Fucking hilarious....
You simply made my point for me you fucking moron.
"Blog fed"
So if the information is not from your approved biased source it is automaticaly invalid.
What a fucking joke your are, all you have to do is look around you and see a fucking planet choking on plastic and petro chemical residue.
Can't you see it you fucking moron...un fucking believable......
You're right about the Africans though...

Your sources are invalid because they are just opinions, like yours. The main issue is still your lack of understanding, and you have zero experiential learning. Talk to me again when YOU have spent a year conducting breeding bird surveys on uninhabited islands. Watching young seabirds fighting to escape as they hatch under plastic fishing nets, or polystyrene fridge doors above the strand line. It's no joke but you are.
^the sad aspect here is so called educated people like yourself are unwilling to discuss the deep cultural changes necessary for saving the planet.
It is very clear the answers are not going to come from western government who indeed are a big part of the problem, hence the reason for the OP. Too bad you are too bloody thick to bother reading it.
But I suppose it is just another day of stalking and trolling for chuck the multinicker.
This post aptly demonstrates your level of sobriety and ineptitude, you pointless windmilling throbber. At least you are honest enough to admit your stupidity.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Do you mean positive contributions like yours and earls.Originally Posted by Latindancer
No thanks. This is the wrong place, and people like you and earl lack real knowledge and understanding. Why would I share years of experience and practical skills with idiots on an anonymous Thai forum?
You keep saying that and what a fucking expert you are on the subject wittout any factual references.
No factual references means you are talking shit as usual.
No factual references means you're just another shit for brains stalker, trolling multinicker.
The planet is in experiencing an ecological disaster largely caused by dirty human industries.
Seems to me chuck, you are the one incapable of asking the really hard questions regarding the envirionment because it might inconvenience your motorcar and shake you blind faith in governmemt.
You cannot deny the planet is in a very serious ecological crisis, and it is largely caused by a culture of human avarice.
So pray tell, chuck how is my knowledge and understanding failing? Strikes me you be coming up short in both departments.
Please show where I have denied it.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Look earl you are an ill informed loon with a penchant for surface drama. My time is much too valuable to waste it explaining why you are such a shallow twerp.
I do object to your single strand attacks on the establishment when there are so many people involved in reaching a satisfactory conclusion. With so many players involved and so many agendas, a compromise is inevitable. Something the earl solution does not even consider.
You have not used any scientific evidence to support your fantasy either. I know why, do you?
I'm no expert earl, but my experience and qualifications place your sham of concern in a world of darkness.
Ah another mouth breather with no depth.Originally Posted by Latindancer
You arrived late to the debate so you missed the stuff on idealism. So shallow you never bothered to read the thread before commenting.
I post because it is important that other imbeciles are not fooled by earls simplicity. No one ever solved a complex issue by shouting the same idealist mantra loudly.
Your contentious participation in this thread is proof enough.
Also the fact you never bothered to read the OP article is additional evidence your aim is merely trivial stalking and trolling.
It is indeed the dimwitted arogance of so called educated experts like yourself who actually sustain, if not contribute to the environmental crisis.
What you are indeed expert at chuck, is quibbling, a master quibbler.
While the experts quibble more people die every day, more life is disrespected, and the planet suffers.
The poor people dying of lung diseases in the poluted cities aren't helped by your quibbling, nor are the fish in the sea choking on plastic garbage helped by your self absorbed, self serving quibbling.
Face it chuck so called educated expert people like yourself are indeed a very big part of the problem.
The question of cultural change is a valid one which you have repeatedly failed to address.

No it isn't. Try again, this is typical of your lack of depth.Originally Posted by Mr Earl

All you can say is that there is a very complex problem that you clearly do not understand. Instead of having a go at someone who does understand by quoting feeble platitudes, try doing something positive to understand just one of the thousands of real environmental issues.Originally Posted by Mr Earl
Once you understand one issue, and recognise that there are thousands of others, and they all interconnected, you might just grasp the enormity of it.
You can't even remember starting the tattoo thread you pathetic nincompoop.
Shallow does not even begin to describe your understanding of environmental issues. You have also chosen to ignore any question I have asked you, instead firing back more pathetic personal remarks. Fine advocate with great debating skills.
