- jwdarkstar, on 10/15/2007, -11/+67When they run out of coal maybe they should try an alternative, protester fuel.
- felidaeus, on 10/15/2007, -5/+55http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/uk_news/england/kent/70 ...
Skip the blogspam, link to article. - Rikkochet, on 10/15/2007, -13/+55Greenpeace: "We lost all credit we had ever since we condemned millions of Africans to slow starvation after lying to African governments about the safety of genetically modified crops"
- KLowD9x, on 10/14/2007, -3/+40They don't want coal power. They don't want nuclear power. They believe that dams are killing the environment since they don't occur naturally (at a human scale, that is), and they say that windmills for generating electricity are unsightly and noisy (about as loud as a refrigerator, last article I read).
What do they want us to do? - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+34Soylent Greenpeace?
- WolverineBlue, on 10/14/2007, -11/+34Greenpeace: "We won't stop until trees have the same rights as humans."
- yikiad, on 10/14/2007, -7/+27so let's endanger the lives of people on ventilators, spoil the food in the fridge which will all have to be replaced by using gas in the cars to go to the store to replace it, along with all the paper and plastic that will have to be replaced for the packaging, causing more pollution by filling up landfills quicker, which are filled by trucks using oil, which will now have to make more trips, along with all the money they are having to spend to replace it, causing them to have to work overtime, keeping the lights and power on longer creating a bigger demand for more energy....*****, my head hurts.
what a bunch of morons. - ConeOfSilence, on 10/14/2007, -12/+32they probably drove there in their fossil fuel burning vehicles to mount the protest while wearing clothes that were made by exploited workers in China.
- eggo, on 10/12/2007, -3/+17Here is the solution:
Plant Manager: Yeah, um, greenpeace guys? We're running low on our stores of coal, so we'll be turning on the machinery in about an hour.
GreenPeace: We won't move until our demands are met! You are poisoning...
PM: Do you realize how much damage this conveyor would suffer if I turned it on with you attached to it?
GP: How much?
PM: None at all.
"None at all" is also the amount hope the GreenPeace protesters have of changing anything with such a meaningless protest. - Elohir, on 10/14/2007, -13/+27Pathetic sensationalism.
A protest != OMG TERRIST HIJAX! - dhVyse, on 10/14/2007, -20/+34***** wackjobs are no better then any other terrorist.
- Error601, on 10/12/2007, -4/+16Good way to get your ass shot.
- StarManta, on 10/14/2007, -9/+21Well there goes my respect for Greenpeace.
- hayashi, on 10/12/2007, -3/+15cops: "we won't stop until greenpeace obeys laws like the rest of us"
- JimXugle, on 10/14/2007, -1/+12So if I break into your house, destroy the circuit breaker box and call it a protest of your wasteful energy use, is everything okay?
- ApokalypseNow, on 10/12/2007, -2/+13Ah, a renewable bio-fuel!
- elitexero, on 10/14/2007, -14/+24Whatever, kill the ***** hippies. It's their own dumb-ass fault they went into a factory and chained themselves to machinery! Greenpeace is such a stupid organization. Instead of finding ways that will stop what they want stopped, they form up some ***** retarded short-term solution that ends up getting people hurt or killed, and in the end makes them look like a bunch of idiots, ..accomplishes nothing. These are the same retards who 'spike' trees and cause lumberjack's chainsaws to kick back and injure/kill them to stop forestry. Bunch of ***** idiots.
- SystmBetatester, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9penn and teller are american, thus they were reffering to american plants. not uk ones.
- heartcoldfusion, on 10/14/2007, -6/+15Then how about directing Greenpeace to stop protesting the building of new 2000's 'state-of-the-art' technology as well.
- yikiad, on 10/12/2007, -2/+11become amish
- camintmier, on 10/15/2007, -6/+15US Terrorist Watch list:
1) Osama Bin Laden
2) Greenpeace
3) We're still thinking... - johnoneal, on 10/14/2007, -8/+15Cartman was right about the goddamn hippies.
- millardiii, on 10/11/2007, -1/+83) PETA
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Yeah, they're only trespassing, vandalizing, disrupting power production...big companies would rather you protest in a way that doesn't ***** up your production, and for a good reason. Greenpeace is being monumentally stupid. This is going to piss more people off than it's going to convince.
- KLowD9x, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8But, we're not our ancestors. We are a more advanced society that requires more energy than we can produce on our own.
If we stopped using all electricity, people would die at an alarming rate. You could not produce enough food, you could not produce enough heat, you produce any of the medications nor power the hospitals where people get treated!
You can't honestly expect us to stop using energy? - ayeroxor, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7All power plants or just nookyaler plants?
- longbow486, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7PETA is on the Terrorist list. ***** what would you call an Org that fire bombs colleges and Research centers in the name of "Animal Rights"
- DarkNemesis618, on 10/14/2007, -4/+11Protesting is fine and all, but don't they realize they're crossing the line between peacefully assembling and causing a major problem? I'm gad it's not near me, I'm kinda pissed they took it this far, I can only imagine how pissed off I would be if it was the power plant that generates my power and I'm cut off.
I'm all for freedom of speech, but this is the same thing as yelling "fire" in a movie theater. - 1337Einstein, on 10/11/2007, -0/+7HELP! Someone hijacked my car by grabbing onto the bumper and refusing to let go!
- heartcoldfusion, on 10/14/2007, -8/+14Great way to alienate potential supports.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/14/2007, -1/+7What this does is turn people off to whackjobs like Greenpeace. It will convince very, very few people and polarize the rest on the other side. ***** tactics like this do little other piss people off and make Greenies feel good because they think they've done something important.
- anonimuso, on 10/14/2007, -1/+7What do you call it when a group tries to purposely create chaos for political purposes. Don't they care that people will be affected by this? What if through their stupidity, there is a blackout like the one that hit the east coast of the U.S. a couple of years back? Would that be just a "protest"? You people really amaze me.
- Mazz, on 10/14/2007, -8/+14“Greenpeace has every right to express their views, but we don’t think this is the right way to do it.”
Big companies prefer you express yourself in ways they can ignore or respond to in press releases.
I don't agree with a lot of the Greenpeace viewpoints, but at least they are trying to do something. They are far from perfect but they are trying. - Railer, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Greenpeace started in 1970, (actually 1969) mainly to protest war and nuclear weapons, but they were already into environmental issues. DDT was banned in 1972 in the US and banned in 1984 in the UK, other countries fall between these to dates except for Sweden who banned the chemical in 1970. They changed their NAME in 1972 but the group was already formed and protesting. See I'm actually old enough to remember this *****.
Feel free to apologize. - mightytribble, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7Greenpeace is to Environmentalists as Al Queda is to Hotdogs.
- romistrub, on 10/14/2007, -3/+8Can't decide whether or not I admire Greenpeace for actually *doing* something instead of ranting like morons on the internet (I'm looking at you, Diggers), or hate them for being complete ***** douchebags a la PETA.
- KLowD9x, on 10/11/2007, -1/+6Says the person using electricity to power his computer.
- TheFinaleofSeem, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5There are a ton of left-wingers who think that Greenpeace is a bunch of stupid douchebags too, you know. Greenpeace are a bunch of extremist attention whores.
- wafla, on 10/14/2007, -2/+6I'm not anti-coal, per se. I'm just agog at the knee-jerk reaction to this little caper -- everything from kill the terrorists to cynical chuckles.
Here are some people who aren't just sitting around while another mega-corporation tries buttsecks on us. Everybody is like "they must die for that!!" and I'm like, "Huh." I think some civil disorder is healthy now and then. I can't chain myself to fences, but I'm glad SOMEONE is. - hayashi, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6doing something is fine. do as much as you want. but when what you do starts affecting others that's where your freedom ends.
- CraigJ, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6what, you still had some?
- quaxon, on 10/14/2007, -1/+5If countries actually enforced environmental protection laws then it would be the power plants who were doing something illegal, then would you persecute greenpeace for trying to shut it down? just go near one of these things and witness the sheer amount of pollution they create every second of every day.
- sonaboy, on 10/14/2007, -5/+9It's called "Civil Disobedience" and it's what the USA was founded on, so I respect it.
No one was hurt, least of all the power plant consumers.
Everyone can cry me a goddamn river.
Terrorists my ass. Listen to all you pussies. - wafla, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6I'm already pretty old. And the stupid antics do more than you think. Review your premise.
- gumby013, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5Don't forget that windmills kill birds too...
- blaaguuu, on 10/14/2007, -1/+5Given that the founder of Greenpeace is now one of their most outspoken critics... I lost all respect for them years ago.
- felidaeus, on 10/15/2007, -0/+4http://www.guardian.co.uk/environment/2007/oct/08/ ...
Here, Happy? The BBC is the superior source of news, and has video and audio as well. You want a cut/paste from a newspaper instead of up to date news from the BBC be my guest. - HayString, on 10/15/2007, -0/+4wow ukdave, you really are lame
