@bodhisattva99 what is Suzuki's opinion? you wouldn't know it would you? because he WON'T GIVE HIS HONEST OPINION. WHY NOT????????????

[bodhisattva99]

maybe this is how you'd handle it? "Childbearing [should be] a punishable crime against society, unless the parents hold a government license ... All potential parents [should be] required to use contraceptive chemicals, the government issuing antidotes to citizens chosen for childbearing."

— David Brower - first Executive Director of the Sierra Club; founder of Friends of the Earth; and founder of the Earth Island Insitute - quoted by Dixie Lee Ray, Trashing the Planet, p.166

@WolfgangHolzmann agreed

[WolfgangHolzmann]

Nothing wrong with vaginas though, they're fucking awesome!

[WolfgangHolzmann]

@bodhisattva99 Fair enough.

@WolfgangHolzmann that's what you've got, eh? stop. how? what would you do to stop it? I don't disagree that it is a huge problem and will only continue to worsen, but how do you imagine 'stopping' it? I put the same question to Suzuki and all I got back was 'nothing' which is either from cowardice because he doesn't want to look like a prick for speaking THE REAL TRUTH or from ignorance. I believe he's a coward and a liar and FUCK anyone who calls me a vagina or anything else for that.

@WolfgangHolzmann I'm not on any anti-environmentalist anything. I don't like Suzuki because he isn't for real and I'm not going to be called a 'vagina' by some fucking zombie who thinks he's anything more than a mouth-piece. I've been to see him lecture. I've spoken with him and he's a DICKHEAD. My opinion, but based on experience and knowledge. I have been to many places where the environment is of no concern and it's not the world I want to live in. Hula-hooping's not the answer.

[WolfgangHolzmann]

@WolfgangHolzmann They're usually uninhabitable wastelands. Is that the kind of legacy you want to leave behind?

The truth is the only real solution is STOP breeding like fucking rabbits people.

@bodhisattva99 I actually work in the offshore oil fields myself, I'm also a big advocate of hunting for food. I do however drive a fuel efficient car, ride my bike instead of drive when ever I can and I depise people who litter. Life is all about finding a balance. I like to think of myself as a realist. I'm just bored of people like you jumping on the anti enviromentalist bandwagon. Have you ever been to an industrialized part of the world that has no bunny huggers to help maintain a balance?
