Shoot all Conservationists!

Nostrodamus said:
Right, that’s it. I am officially sick of pink and fluffy, health and safety, conservationists. All the sandalised, tree hugging, bearded do goodies should be put against their favourite tree and shot with depleted uranium shells.

Put a picture in YBW of someone not wearing a life jacket and there is an outcry. Shoot them as well I say. If someone does not want to wear a life jacket then let them and shut up.

Put your engine on when there is a little breeze around and you will get another faction asking why they are not using sails. It is because they actually want to use their engines and not spend the next seven years beating from the Hamble to Portsmouth without going via Outer Mongolia.

I was happy running an engine on proper fuel and not recycled chip fat or the left over bits of Americans that have had tummy tucks. In fact I would have been even happier if I could have run it on fuel with added lead but that has been taken away.

Soon I am going to be told that I cannot use my radio as it will fry my testicles. Well they are my testicles and if I want them frying let me decide. In fact, if I want them with a 99% fat sausage currently banned by the EU then let me decide.

I have charts that are recycled from used toilet paper which is probably why they are brown in places but I am also happy to lick the end of my lead pencil and draw lines.. lots of them.

I am told to recycle everything but when I try to recycle my dumps by putting them in the sea I am told that I will be fined if I do it within a million miles of land.

What have sea horses ever invented to make the world a better place? Ok, over a few centuries they may degrade to make some nice fossil fuel I can use in my engine but is that any reason to stop me anchoring on their heads?

No, I have decided on the way forward.. We should shoot all do goodies with lead bullets and find a way of converting the left over into a good leaded fuel on which I can blast around conservation areas on my engine not wearing a safety jacket, eating sausages and chatting all day on the radio.

Why not just shoot yourself instead? Seems like a much simpler solution :D

I overhead a conversation about kids participating in sport - one was surprised that under 14yos were being invited and wondered if the insurance was in place to cover it ...

that just about sums up todays lives - don't do it if it's not covered by insurance ... !!

Nice rant but have you mentioned this adoration for lead in fuel to your grandchildren ?
 
:)Nostradamus,

maybe we could stretch an elastic between two wind turbine menaces, let it tension then use it to fire career conservationists into the distance, or maybe into the blades of another one of their subsidy fleecing wreckers of the landscape.

I'm with you, by the way ! :)

I predict at some stage in the future they'll have raffle prizes of getting to push the destruct button on these god awful 'turbines'...
 
Nostradamus, well said!

As well as conservationists, can I add litigation lawyers and everybody who has used one, or even consulted 'one just in case'. I'd also like to propose a certain Mr Blair who, I'm informed introduced the US style no win, no fee syndrome into the UK, he has a lot to be proud of; then again he and I guess 90% of politicians are now lawyers so can I add these bod's as well as the PC police!

I think you will find that old cheesy faced Mrs Blair may well have had an input the same as she may have done with human rights. Just happened she was in a firm that were the only ones specialising in it before it was actually on the statues. I may be wrong but then again... I may not be.

Just as Mrs Clegg is a partner in a law firm specialising in aggressive tax planning. I believe her firm may have helped News International minimise its tax bill. Isn't it wonderful how the Lib Dems and NuLab have taken the moral high ground from the Tories by using armies of lawyers?

You find yourself stuck in a hole with a murderer, a rapist, and a lawyer. You're armed but you only have 2 bullets left, what do you do?

Shoot the lawyer. Twice.

Malapropism is using a similar sounding but completely inapproriate word & it is from Sheridan's comical Mrs Malaprop in School for Scandal (I thnk that's the right play), some years earlier.

Interchanging the leading letters/sounds of two words in a phrase in that way is in fact a Spoonerism, after Reverend William Archibald Spooner (1844–1930), Warden of New College, Oxford, who was notoriously prone to this tendency.

You're feeding strawberries to pigs!
 
"... Perhaps of even greater significance is the
continuous and profound distrust of science and technology
that the environmental movement displays. The environmental
movement maintains that science and technology cannot be
relied upon to build a safe atomic power plant, to produce
a pesticide that is safe, or even bake a loaf of bread that
is safe, if that loaf of bread contains chemical preservatives.
When it comes to global warming, however, it turns out that
there is one area in which the environmental movement
displays the most breathtaking confidence in the reliability
of science and technology, an area in which, until recently,
no one-even the staunchest supporters of science and
technology-had ever thought to assert very much confidence
at all. The one thing, the environmental movement holds,
that science and technology can do so well that we are
entitled to have unlimited confidence in them, is FORECAST
THE WEATHER!-for the next one hundred years..."

Have you read Ayn Rand?

And - why clutter up Scuttlebutt with this verbiage? Take it to the Lounge please.

Yes, but every time I read stuff like that I realise the world that I live in is not like that at all - at least not from my perspective, so I know it is worth living on a bit longer - well hopefully a lot longer.
