Country_Jake Posted April 12, 2002 Posted April 12, 2002 I think what my point was that if we did more of that, calling them up to say great job... then maybe the majority of people that use wilderness land would be more involved at trying to help with the problem areas.... I mean some one constently telling me that there is something wrong is discoraging.... makes me feal like whats the F@#%in' point... but I there were more posivitity out in the main stream of these topics then I wouldn't be so synical about it and be more apt to help out more... see were I'm comin' fromm?

I never here about the scientific studys where they say every thing looks great here... doin' a good job, way to go mother earth... why is it, there always has to be a change in the enviornment... And who say it needs to be changed... do we get to vote on a closer or what... or do enivormentalists who have a polotition in their pocket just get to decide because they think it should be so... I mean just because I think something is in a bad state, does not mean you do, or vice versa.... And if we do get to vote on closers, why isn't it more publicly campaned.... do the rest of you think that we should just sit back and let some tree hugers close down all our favorite spots, even though the majority of us do our best to keep it clean and nice for others (respectful climber and woodsmen)... Ok I'm a little excentric, but I'm serious too... JAKE, the problem you state is called christianity or probably orgainized religion for that matter.....it tells us that there is always something wrong and that we need to tell others what we see wrong with them too.....it is a brilliant way to control billions of people...even make them kill each other, over principals that if were looked at with any type of skepticism would be so laughable, that you would wonder how people could even get so deep into the bullshit.... but i really dunno Erik, I think the 20th century demonstrates that idealism (ie:communism, facism) kills more people than religion. The secular USSR heaped a fairly ugly mess on large portions of Europe and Asia. Additionally, they pretty much dried up the Aral Sea. Can't blame these enivronmental crimes on religion! I think you're scapegoating religion, Christianity in particular. You're right about the "end is near" tactics used by religion though. I think todays environmentalists took a page right out of their playbook! [ 04-14-2002, 10:12 PM: Message edited by: Fairweather ] Quote
Bug Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 Oh boy! !Religion!. AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH BELIEVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Get on the band wagon. "JAKE, the problem you state is called christianity or probably orgainized religion for that matter.....it tells us that there is always something wrong and that we need to tell others what we see wrong with them too.....it is a brilliant way to control billions of people...even make them kill each other, over principals that if were looked at with any type of skepticism would be so laughable, that you would wonder how people could even get so deep into the bullshit.... but i really dunno" You used the same attack that you condemned religion for. "what's wrong with XXX is .............." Look inside yourself for the real problem. Anger doesn't need religion. I feel your pain. Quote

Country_Jake Posted April 15, 2002 Posted April 15, 2002 to get off the topic of religion..... To all of you who work in the media, put some good enviornmental news on the screen some time, maybe it'll bost up the pride in the hearts of humanity... instead of tering it down... Quote
