Environmental extremists

A coworker showed me this today.

I couldn't find the words to react. Just

http://youtu.be/A_JPcBwYGmo

I like to call them Eco-Terrorists.

"Bring me to this rock, that has the most incredible life."
Uhh, that rock has never been alive.

Do they (the tree-huggers) go that far? Seriously?

I don't underestimate human stupidity, honest.

For every direction people go, there are those who go too far.

No movement, no idea, no conviction is without adherents who are big on the wailing and gnashing and rending of garments, or some combination thereof.

This grade of nutbag is just about two tiers below actual eco-terrorists in terms of extremism and rarity...probably just a few thousand of them on the planet.

I wonder if they left flowers.........that'd be quite ironic.

i wonder if any of those people know the people that wanted to raise a bunch of money to trek around the country in a van building forts to, like, totally world peace the country or something?

oh, wait.... those were hipsters, and not hippies.. i sometimes mix up different groups of mentally defective people...

Their monthly meeting must have some killer drugs as party favors.

I can't imagine the outcry when the lawn is cut.

Right!

It has never had, and never will have a life.

That group strikes me as a bunch of berkley-tards.

And that Wes dude is cult leader material.

Who the hell spotted these wackadoos doing this and didn't bury em right next to the loss of their mother earth?

Hey, good fertilizer to help the trees regrow, right?

You are absolutely right.

I wonder if these people simply have nothing to feel for in their daily lives like children, siblings or even pets. Being isolated like that can do some very strange things to the human mind...

I was surprised that they were identified as EarthFirst'ers......I usually think of them as tree spiking, bulldozer vandalizing, SUV burning types, not sit-in-a-circle-and-cry-about-it types

In reply to JoeyM:

It depends on the drug of the week. This week it was pot. Next week is LSD Then the really cool stuff happens.

"Earth First. We'll log the other planets later." used to be a popular Tshirt in BC.

i guess it depends what your particular holy book says on the subject...

and also from a purely scientific point of view: the fossil that you see was never actually alive... all the formerly "alive" material was replaced with different elements one molecule at a time to form the fossil that you see...

OT- I had a woman at work that was all full of the holy spirit. She however didn't believe in dinosaurs. I said to her "So let me get this straight. You believe in some ethereal spaceman that no one can prove ever existed, whose only evidence of ever having been alive is a book written thousands of years ago and translated through innumerable dead languages that would basically render it as accurate as the worlds WORST game of telephone, but you don't believe in the existence of something they have the SKELETON of 15 minutes from here?"

I made it a point to argue religion with her after that one. Not that I fault anyone that chooses to believe- I find fault in the people that believe so blindly they're not willing to listen to any other possibilities in life. She was a fun one.

Those aren't environmental extremists. They're a bunch of sniveling nutballs.

In reply to novaderrik:

Technically it depends on the age of the fossil as to how much not alive material has replaced what had been living.

In reply to mndsm:

I have found it quite amusing in the simple fact most religions are all about the same with a few slight(although they all claim major) differences. I was raised catholic, but feel that it is all more of an old fashioned "Do what is right" guide.

Does anyone here know what to do when they chain themselves to trees?

You burn the forest down.

Hipster should all die in fiery pits filled with sharp spikes. Especially those that shop exclusively at Whole Foods and the like because it's "organic maaaaan." You want organic? Go shoot a berkeleying deer/rabbit/squirrel/anything that moves, butcher it, and cook it over a fire. Bonus, it's tasty.

I just tell people I believe in Ancient Aliens. Keeps them off my back with the religion thing. They're crazier than I am.
