Amps & Zdog's Viva La Revolution thread

There is something that Hugo has said which sort of makes sense (I think). Amps has chosen not to have kids as a rationale for what he is doing to protect the planet. Yet based on his views of me flying and he doesn’t, must also suggest that anyone who has kids (ie opposite of what he is doing) aren’t making the right choices for our planet? Am I on the right path here?

But if we all do the same as Amps, as he clearly thinks he lives his life in a positive way to our planet / society, then we will be extinct within 100 odd years anyway

Fair play to Amps, he’s walking the talk as they say.

RichM you don’t need 3 or 4 kids - that’s where the population problem is.

hugopal yep

hugopal I’m not talking about the west, I’m talking about the issue with the global population.

I’m aware of birth rates in the west - I read newspapers too.

We need more Fred Wests to battle climate change

I put the recycling out every Monday.

Smallman1 doing your bit, most people are doing something, however it will never be enough for the eco warriors who want to shame you for every single action or life choice.

hugopal If having no kids is a commendable, morally righteous act which helps save the planet, then it would imply that having kids is an objectionable, morally improper act which helps destroy the planet

No it doesn’t imply that at all. Thats what your contrarian, idiotic reasoning implies it is.

LT42 No it doesn’t imply that at all. Thats what your contrarian, idiotic reasoning implies it is.

How so? Just saying something is incorrect doesn’t make it incorrect - what’s your reasoning?!

I think Fred & Fritzel would make a dynamic climate duo.

Perfect combination of domestic interior and exterior upcycling to save the planet.

Lol. Some team they’d have been

hugopal because he’s talking about a personal choice and there could be a number of reasons as to how that would impact his own carbon footprint. Hursty asked him about his personal contribution, you’re the one who implied the nonsense and what you wrote is some of the dumbest shit I’ve read on here in a while, and that’s really saying something.

But do you sort into recyclables and residuals?

NO BECAUSE ALL YOUR POSTS ARE RECYCLED AND YOU ARE A RESIDUAL MEMBER OF THE BOARD.

There’s nothing wrong with being challenged to do more though is there, within reason.

We could all do more.

Let’s use Ed as an example.

Putting his rubbish out isn’t really much of an effort, but isn’t the limits of what he does either - don’t think he owns a car either and is a public transport kinda guy. More positives.

Could he do more, probably.

But harassing him to do so without recognising the good he already he does is a bit imbalanced.

However, there are vast swathes of people who just don’t think about it - I watched some cunt in the supermarket car park just idling a big diesel ute thing for half an hour, you could see the plumes of shite drifting across the car park. See same outside schools FFS.

More awareness = good, and change needs advocates. Even if snooker fans are inconvenienced.
