Forever Green Party.

Humorous look at the green party.
So here we are. 2006, and still the world has yet to implode under the weight of plastic waste,exhaust emission carbons, or worn 4X4 tyres. And despite all the warnings, I can see little sign of Global warming. Especially considering the last Gas bill I had.That appeared to be for the whole bloody village, instead of my Domestic residence.

Yet the Green lobby marches on regardless, waffling on about Carbon footprints and other tree hugging techniques.

'Save the Whales' seems to be a popular cry, yet it is an acknowledged fact. That Whales and Seals consume several times the amount of fish than Humans do. But the over'whale'mingly obvious way of sorting our own food shortages, by eating nothing but Whales and Seals for a few years. Seems to have been overlooked by the Greens
Hell, the extra fish would be throwing themselves onto the beaches to avoid the crowds after a few years...

The Korean guys have the answer, as dogs are surely ecological food. Having no use outside of a family pet, apart from a Co#k extending status symbol.A (Big Dog, Small D##K, being the factual evidence of this, with Rottweilers and Pits, being the ultimate status symbol for the men with Weasels wedding tackle). And the French, despite their penchant for shitty wafer thin cars, certainly do their bit by eating millions of tons of seemingly useless creatures, from Frogs and Snails, to Horses and Rats. While their Women shun wasteful razor blades, in favour of sporting Armpits furrier than small Arctic dwelling rodents in the cold season.

The New-Zealand guys too, do their bit for ecology. No other race can turn a field full of sheep into a full blown leisure centre,and without laying a single Brick.Now they deserve recognition for this, however tasteful the end result,with a bit of mint sauce.

The biggest problem of all is the fact we have far too many people living on our Planet, which is why we're all in this alleged sh!te in the first place.

All the other buggers are the ones spoiling it for us good guys. Take Carbon emissions for example,the typical German Superior car Uberwagen owner. Will fettle his pride and joy to the highest possible mechanical standards, which means casual 100mph runs to Germany, leave hardly a whiff of Co2. Probably less than the after-drinking farting contest outside the local pub. While some people in the poorer countries, hack down a perfectly good tree and burn it, because they don't no any better.

New technologies and fuel sources are way too little, way too late. To stop this self inflicted strangulation would require us to travel back in time. And wipe all the Robert Louis-Stephenson's, Daimler & Benz and Henry Fords from the face of the Earth. Then deem the quest for scientific knowledge heretical and punishable by torturous death to prevent others making their breakthroughs. We would have to engineer a global return to the middle ages, which clearly is not never going to happen.

Even if that were possible, why should we do it? Life on this planet's already survived one bloody huge environmental disaster, so we're all on borrowed time anyway. We bleat on about how unfair we've been to the other animals on the planet. But really it's just hubris, that has us looking to continue the existence of mankind, beyond human arrogance, though there's not much point now. Man is, and always will be,the most dangerous thing, on this green planet earth.

Just a little bit of writing to get away from the bloody useless
bloody boring,and greatly overrated so called sport football. Now played now by a bunch of grossly overpaid tossers, who think themselves to be the dogs dangly bits.And very soon the average man in the street will not be able to find the cash to see a premier match.Football is not a sport now, nothing but a business run by the media,and not for fans.

And now the latest from our side of the pond - Several shops and restaurants are going to stop selling lobsters because boiling them is cruel and unusual punishment. It could hurt their feelings.

Let's see. We should stop cutting grass, because it could hurt the blades when the mower slices through them. We should stop eating lettuce because pulling the leaves off and cutting them will hurt them. We shouldn't pick cotton because, again, pulling the bolls off their stems is painful to them.

Is there anything we can do? Is it OK to drink water? Probably not, because that will deprive the trees and grass of nourishment.

Bottom line - we humans need to starve and freeze ourselves to death so that plants, animals and fish can live. Makes perfect sense, doesn't it?

It makes about as much sense as you extending the story of some restaurants that voluntarily decide to not serve lobster into humans freezing and starving to death because of this (i.e. not much).

I hope you argue your cases better than this!
