I'll begin by saying this is a topic I feel strongly about. I'm going to show you guys the ropes first, then we'll be up for 'general discussion'.
Over the past week, I've seen Avatar again (great movie by the way wink and Tarzan (Disney, yeah I know rolleyes but it was good). They've both affected me very much. Now before you guys say, "oh my god, more sappy bullshit' I've got to explain myself.
I've always been wary about not wasting resources, and trying to conserve energy and all that jazz, but it's only been these past few days that I realize its importance. But what annoys me are the people that just don't get it.
Take the oil spills in Louisiana. What the hell are they doing? Bullshit. They're just mucking around saying 'oh, if we dig wells it could stop them, but that'll take months. oh well'. I'm sure the Coast Guard and all the workers are trying their hardest, but it isn't a top priority for them. What they don't realize is that a couple thousand gallons of oil can damage the Gulf ecosystem, which affects the European shore, the Atlantic coast, as well as the South American. But wait, as long as we're here driving our cars, and living our lives, who gives a rat's a** what happens to some manatee, or some dolphin. Less s**t to pollute our oceans with anyway.
However, I believe they're wrong. They're not anyone's oceans--that is, any human being's. Sure, one could argue that humans are the intended inhabitants of earth, but I believe what was here millions of years before us ought to stay. They should be allowed to live their lives too. It's not our earth in the first place, but we come in, pollute it, and then try to drive the original inhabitants--the pests--out. Is that really right?
So, what I want to know, am I just being a tree hugger, the devil's advocate or am I right in believing that? And what're your opinions on this? I want to know...haha.
Please respect everyone's opinions, even if you strongly disagree with them. It never hurt to speak your mind.
