Shoot all Conservationists!

[Grumpybear]

Rats! Shown up by my ignorance of culture. Again.
Ah well, back to The Dandy

AND SORRY if this is on the wrong forum.......................

Doesn't matter. Just another environmentalist throwing his weight around. Still, going back to the OP, we'd have to shoot them all simultaneously, or there would come a point when they would become an endangered species, and we'd have to start preserving them. On the other hand, we could do that in big glass jars....

I enjoyed it. A powerful and strangely compelling novel.

What left-wing works do you read in order to 'know your enemy' ?

Conservationist meat may be good although it may leave a bad taste in the mouth!

I woke up this morning, really hung over trying to remember last night, got dressed and went in the galley where my wife was already fixing breakfast. I looked to see what she was cooking, and I see one of my socks in the frying pan.

"What are you doing?" I asked her.

She replied: "I'm doing what you asked me to do last night when you
came to bed very, very drunk!!"

Completely puzzled, I walked away thinking to myself...


"I don't remember asking her to cook my sock..."

I was at a friends house when she was giving her two little boys (4 & 6) their tea.
She asked them what they would like for pudding;
The 4 year old replied "cock porn please"
.

.
We think he meant "pop corn", but we were laughing too much to correct him.

"... 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 .......etc Etc

Has anyone ever met an environmentalist who lives in the environment?

Not the hypocritical Swampy sort of environmentalist who eats from a supermarket and wears clothes bought from a shop which is supplied by a factory which is powee by polluting coal or nuclear power..

No... the sort of environmentalist I am thinking of is one who lies entirely from the environment and as part of it... someone who leaves no environmental footprint... someone who forages for food and wears clothes made from natural sources which they hunt and kill... or weave from scavanged wool ...

You would be very lucky to find such a person, because mostly they would be dead at age 25... killed by the environment by way of exposure and malnutrition...

An environmentalist is a person who may speak out about our natural environment and the sustainable management of its resources through changes in public policy or individual behavior. This may include supporting practices such as informed consumption, conservation initiatives, investment in renewable energy, improved efficiencies in the materials economy, transitioning to new accounting paradigms such as Ecological economics and renewing and revitalizing our connections with non-human life.

Oooh, I see what you mean. What awful, dreadful sounding people

They are when their speaking out is ideological rather than scientific.

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?

And this comes as a surprise? Didn't Nostradamus (the other one) predict all this, and doesn't all end rather badly?

 

[Tricia]

I'd better get in line to be shot. I've done all of that! Recycling, eating organic food, ranted and raved about pesticides, battery farming etc etc AND to crown it all, I sued my local council when I broke my ankle falling off a motorbike after hitting a very deep pothole. I wouldn't have, but the police told me they had been reporting the pothole to the council for a year as there had been a lot of accidents caused by the pothole.

Nice rant Nostro

Or the young man,totally inebriated in the pub,ordering a drink from the barmaid with a substantial cleavage,asked for a pint of Titbread Wankard.

Ok, so I may have gone over the top a tad when making the original post but there is a serious point to this.

Health and safety and conservation has gone over the top same as political correctness. There is always a fad on the horizon but people should be allowed freedom to do there own thing and most of all they should be prepared to take responsibility for what they do. Accidents do happen.. live with it and stop looking for someone to blame all the time.

Sailing is one of our last great freedoms and that is why we love it so much.

So stop harping on about what I can and cannot do.

How many conservationists does it take to change a light bulb?

50...... 49 need to fly to various parts of the world to find the most environmentally friendly light bulb and one to change it!!!!!!

Some years ago lawyers in Belfast were making a packet out of 'tripping cases' - something like £33 million a year in fees and compensation. Not sure supporting the legal profession is quite what the pioneers of nature conservancy were aiming for.

completely with you on this one nostro.
Have a couple of hairs of the dog,you will soon feel better.

 

[DaveS]

Here is a good one-Balfour Beattie are currently building the Beauly Denny supergrid power line-if it gets too icy-like a Highland winter particularly several thousand feet above sea level-they are not allowed on site by their Health and Safety Officer!
As this is funded by the tax payer its our money!

To be strictly accurate we pay for it as electricity customers, not as tax payers, but plus ca change...

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.

Time of the month dear?
