When should your kid die in order to save the planet
« on: May 28, 2008, 06:11:26 PM »

Wonderful "green" calculator tells kids when to die in order to save the planet.  When I filled it out truthfully, it said I should die at 2.7yrs of age.  I'm living on borrowed time!

Well, you'd better get with it, do your part to save the planet.  Can I have your guns before you off yourself?

If there really was intelligent life on other planets, we'd be sending them foreign aid.

Conservatives see George Orwell's "1984" as a cautionary tale.  Progressives view it as a "how to" manual.

My wife often says to me, "You are evil and must be destroyed." She may be right.

Liberals believe one should never let reason, logic and facts get in the way of a good emotional argument.

I should die at 2.  There should have been two more questions though.  How many guns do you own?  And how many Greens will you take with (and their carbon footprint :-) ) when they come to take you away?   My die age would have been 120 years if the quiz had been fair!:lol:

6.5.

I'm no great fan of the infestation that is the "human" race, but that little exercise is one of the most disturbing things I have ever seen from the Greenazi crowd.

It is much more powerful to seek Truth for one's self.  Seeing and hearing that others seem to have found it can be a motivation.  With me, I was drawn because of much error and bad judgment on my part. Confronting one's own errors and bad judgment is a very life altering situation.  Confronting the errors and bad judgment of others is usually hypocrisy.

Around Oregon a while back there were a few people that had bumper stickers that said "EARTH FIRST! ... We'll log the other planets later".

2.7 years.

I was doing "okay" until it asks me how much money I spent. Ummm, pretty much all of it? Then I became a giant pig. So spending money == not-green? Money is pretty green if you ask me, and I'm even colorblind!

I'm really surprised that they didn't ask a question about how much money you earned first.

Earning money is also very, very bad, because it means that you're generating carbon on the front end.

That was my question as well, otherwise that's one of the most insulting kids' sites I've seen.
I should've died at the age of 2.8. Too bad, but it wasn't for lack of others trying.  cheesy

I was average until I got to the money question.  My answer was 100& of my money was spent at the end of the year.  Went down to -67% and am told I can live forever.

I am retired and waiting for the time when I can access my fixed-income Social Security benefits at the high payout rates.  Till then I'n living off the fat of interest from the booty I looted from the taxpayers during my employment years as a gooberment drone.

There is no way I can afford to live forever!  Not even if I continue to stockpile SPAM and New England Clam Chowder.

I think I have been emotionally damaged.  I'm going to sue the bastards!  That way I'll have enough money to live forever.

stay safe.

So they want us to reduce our carbon footprint.

Why don't they pitch ideas like...

Switch to 4 day work weeks
Businesses closed on Sundays

Oh wait its all about control isn't it?

The greens have become nihilists who actually want humanity to not exist.

They absolutely LOVED that "earth without humans" CG show that was on Discovery or some channel.

That lean little organically fed green pig on the right looks soooooo tasty!  Invite about 15 people to drive out to the property 60 miles away.  Run a couple of pecan and peach limbs through the old tow-behind chipper shredder to generate some smoke in the old fire pit and slow roast that little shoat for about 10 hours on a spit turned by a motor powered by an electric generator.  Pop a couple of cold beers imported from halfway across the world and relax. 

It'd make for the most magical Earth Day picnic ever...
