I have decided this post is very angry compared to my usual standards. So when you are done, or before you start, go here. It will make you and me feel better!!
Activists. What are they good for? Absolutely nothing. Great song. Shame it was so rubbish.
I like activists. When I say “like”, I mean “Don’t really have time for”. I understand the need for some of them, and the way some of them are done is great. For instance, dressing up like Batman and climbing a building in the name of Fathers 4 Justice is quite frankly awesome. A fringe group then deciding to kidnap the PM’s son in the name of the cause. Stupid. Reeeeeally really stupid.
That is activists for you. Some good idea’s, and some really stupid people running them.
But the tree hugging bath dodging activists and Greenpeace. Noooo time at all for them. Greenpeace especially who seem to have taken their fight to the heady heights of “Lets ruin it for all of mankind” rather then going for the attainable side of things. Ever since the naughty French Secret Service blew up their little boat they just have not been the same. But then, the French had a very good reason to blow it up. That reason was “Because we want to”. Or something like that. I dunno. I don’t honestly care.
But back to DisasterPeace. I can see their planning of the recent Heathrow “jaunt”. Sitting round a table in a warm room polluting the environment rather then just wearing 11 jumpers and a big coat deciding the best way to get public opinion on your side is to go to an airport, jump on the back of a plane and stick a banner up. Because delayed flights is the way to make people happy. Everyone loves a good plane delay because some bunch of hippies are scared of a big scary runway.
But they don’t stop there. Once attached to the tail fin, they used mobile phones to send pictures of themselves on the plane. I can only assume this is to show the children when they don’t get to see Mummy and Daddy anymore because they are in a mental prison for being some of the dumbest human beings on earth. I bet that if you took in to account the amount of time planning this job and all the tools used to implement it, they probably threw more CO2 in the air then we do in a month. How did I work this out? Well I hate them. So they automatically use more then the average person. They also talk bollocks. So all the hot air warms up the planet more then the average conversation.
So what if they succeed? What if I cannot go to my relatives wedding thus missing out on an impressively exciting day becuse someone wanted to hug the tail fin of a plane? Well the good news is that they will never win. Because the people they are trying to stop doing things (i.e the government) don’t listen to anyone!
Oh and don’t forget to check out their new flag! It is soooo pretty. You almost want to print it out and attach it to the fridge with the other drawings your 2 year old done mid way through a severe vomiting fit.
Gosh this was an almost angry post! I feel that I should make things a little easier to leave you with as I know you are at the moment all pent up with rage. So have a look at this. The police were giving children between 4 and 10 years old a gun to point at people and pull the trigger. I am not sure what you are expecting to see after the wedding link earlier, but I don’t make this stuff up. I just report it and warp all the facts a little.

We of the Plant Liberation Army (PLA uh..nt) decry your sexist, bigoted, homoerotic, uh.., ways er… And demand that you stop it, or them, as the case may be. Further communiques will be forth coming if we can get Wolfhowler Morningstar (formerly Bob Kedouski) to stop trying to turn the copy machine into a grow-light.
You have been warmed. warned.

Ahhh…see, child activist is a worthwhile cause. And I reckon you have never stood on top of a plane to get your point across. It is just I reeeeeeally hate greenpeace. I have absolutely no time for mos tof the stuff they do. Some of their causes are for the better, but they act like a bunch of numpties!

As with everything there are extremes.
Greenpeace could be considered an extremist group with the way they go about things. Some people have no sense.
I’d have left them on the plane and then taken off with them still attached. They wouldn’t do something so stupid again!

@Gareth – You have a good point there. They are an extremist group as they take on illegal activity in the name of whatever they are moaning about next! I think tie them to the plane so they endure the whole journey and land at the next destination looking like an icecream!!
@Tamera – I think I could seriously do with that today!! Boy has it ever been one of those days…and it hasn’t ended yet!! But as for the site…yeah it is getting there. I havent decided on this format, I am trying it out. I have a couple of others, but it is getting there. Still need to design the header image when I get time!

The problem is that it is easy for them to gather support from people… People, by nature, are compassionate.
I remember an episode on “Penn and Teller: Bullshit!!” where they went to gather protesters against dihydrogen monoxide.
They mentioned that it was commonly found all across the earth; that people are getting so used to it that they need it for survival; that extremely large doses can cause health problems and frequent urination…
There was a large number of people who got concerned and signed the petition to ban dihydrogen monoxide.
Dihydrogen monoxide…. is H2O – water…
So if you jump out for a seemingly just cause, people WILL get concerned. More people will support Greenpeace’s plane protest than cry for the passengers in it. Sad. People should think more before picking sides.

Welcome Hammy. What a great name for a person to come to this site!! I assume both your wheel is turning and you are going strong!
I do remember something about that show now you mention it! It is true. People will jump on any bandwagon without really thinking of the implications of their actions and how it may affect them in time.

I would if the Government would listen. I did write 103 members of parliament and 40 newspapers across Ontario to get my opinion across.
