Stupid World

[austingtir]

Anyway, the queen is back in my good book after telling parliament over there to pull the stick out of their asses and finish brexit off.

[mashman]

And after all that you still have not posted a shred of evidence... Atleast you have something in common with your cult leader Greta!!

Either you've been fooled or you are a fool which is it?

Yeah, good one.

[TheDemonLord]

Never, they are absolutely necessary.

Correct.

So, if they are never going to stop protesting - why bother trying to appease them?

If there is nothing we can do that will make them happy, then we may as well ignore them - as the net result is better for us.

Then we also need to look at the underlying motivation - if nothing will make them happy, where does that lead to: When we are either all dead and Nature can do as Nature wants or we are reverted back to an animalistic existence.

Either way - no thanks.

Okay maybe not to the degree they are protesting now , and I think they are only starting, but they are necessary as a control. Utopia wouldn't need them, but that unicorn will never happen.

So we are back to the question - When is it enough? When will the rest of society have done enough so that they are not protesting, at all?

I'd suggest that that is a question that can't really be quantified.

I suspect that 'society' will determine when enough protesting has been done.

And with specific regard to environmental issues, I'd also suggest they we're only just seeing the start of any real significant amount of protesting.

[TheDemonLord]

I'd suggest that that is a question that can't really be quantified.

I know, that is the point of asking it, to show that there is not a definitive problem that can be identified and fixed and make them happy, the point is that they will never be happy. And so all attempts to appease them are pointless.

I suspect that 'society' will determine when enough protesting has been done.

There's definitely a Bell Curve of sorts, on some issues, there is enough wider society buy-in to make changes, however at the tail end of the curve, there is a group who are the majority of Protestors who will always be protesting.

And with specific regard to environmental issues, I'd also suggest they we're only just seeing the start of any real significant amount of protesting.

Maybe, Maybe not.

My prediction is that all the Alarmist Predictions will be shown to be nothing but activists crying wolf, meanwhile Society at large will make small incremental adjustments, until someone comes up with some real alternatives for the likes of Plastic, Energy generation, Energy Storage and mined resources.

And I strongly disagree.

There are plenty of definitive problems that can be identified and fixed.

Where it stops is for society to decide.

These two cartoons remind me of a number of people on here.

Yup, so the protesting is working. Future generations will be way better informed about the environment, habitat loss etc so that it will be a major consideration in everything we do. Basically if your business plan adversely affects the environment in any way, and/or is not sustainable then it won't happen.

Agree, and looking forward to it...

I would have to flip a coin to decide which one is stupider or more dangerous to this country. The part time PM in this instance is probably making slightly more sense though. But still you've got to wonder when neither of these idiots seem to consider that we could just not let in any. And that should include the refugees that Hannah Tamaki thought might be a good idea when she was caught on the hop this morning to offer them 50k a year not to come.... umm how about we just do nothing! And put all that tax payer money to good use on current NZ citizens!!

Does beg the questions of who decides who Is a terrorist. At what level of protestation does a protestor become a terrorist?

What are people going to do for work when businesses are no longer allowed to continue trading under those guidelines? Using an approximation of 50% of that which we produce as no longer being allowed to be extracted/produced etc..., where are the new jobs going to come from?... coz jobs are important for some reason, especially the pointless ones.

No idea, but due to the amount of us, if we keep wrecking bits and pieces of the environment as we go along, the end game isn't going to be very pretty.
