@coz752 Not once did I say that... But blindly fighting it because they think it's the same thing as environmentalism is just ridiculous and stupid.
-
@lajakl .... so , corporatism is the holy grail that we should follow and let us get dictated by ?
-
Splashy pants? never heard of it ... o well ..

@theseanze It's not that people hate greenpeace it's that they get annoyed by it. GreanPeace are like Jews and bitch loudly on every occasion they have about everything. Generally I support their cause but their approach is terrible to people. We live in a world where it's not possible not to sacrifice smth for greater good of society, however it seems greenpeace are too narrow minded on some things.

@theseanze I'm all for environmentalism but Greenpeace has evolved to a more anti-corporatism movement. Greenpeace is just a bunch of crazy hippies.
-
@theseanze The reason I oppose greenpeace is because they sometimes misrepresent facts. One example is nuclear energy.

Why does everybody hate Greenpeace? Here they are saving the whales and people still have this patronizing '50s attitude of anyone who is for peace and the environment is a crazy hippy.
