Balls, shards...sounds painful.

Will be interesting to see whether this makes a blind bit of difference to anything...

Strange, I didn't think wasting emergency services time would help stop drilling in the arctic.
Clearly I don't understand strategic thinking.

Just shoot them, a horrible organisation and does more damage than good. Also a bunch of lying morons.

And I'm all for purist of sustainability and green. But they lie, scaremongering and have no clue. Can't build nuclear, can't have windfarms either, so how do you purpose making power, wait you don't have any ideas. What a surprise.

Ohhh dear what **** activists, if you're going to do it, do it legally -_-

But it's a great way to stay in shape

Nice attitude. :rolleyes:

Oil and gas drilling in the Article is a terrible idea so if this gets the subject debated then I'm all for it.

I'm not Greenpeace's biggest fan but sometimes the direct action approach serves a purpose.

Glaucus · 11 Jul 2013 at 20:50

You relay think I mean it literally?
It's a saying, not to be taken literally.

Why's it a terrible idea. It no different to drilling other places.
It doesn't serve a purpose, they won't change anything. They are utterly clueless, use scare tactics and blatantly lie to try and change opinion. There is nothing good about the organisation.

Then take direct action to stop the drilling, although getting to the Arctic may require the use of fossil fuels.

One of the most delicate ecosystems in the world. Plays a vital role in regulating our climate. Sure, why not make it a free for all. It's protected by treaty for a reason.

Also:

Even without the "shoot them" bit that's pretty damning. I mean, like I said, I'm not a fan but I don't call them horrible or morons.

Then you haven't read their leaflets or see what they get upto.

Who is saying make it a free for all with no regulations, or have you been drinking from the green peace well.

I know what they get up to.

Regulations won't work. The Artic needs protecting from corporate greed. Here I agree with Greenoeace. This doesn't make me a shill.

World needs more people like them, and less money chasing morons like here.

Define 'here'?

No, the world needs more philanthropists, visionrys and sensible people. Not wild idiots with no plans, other than sending us back to the dark ages.

There's thousands of worth while organisations that don't lie, don't do extremely questionable things and are prtecting ecosystems/species, making clean tech, pushing clean tech etc.
Or you could support green peace that are utterly clueless.

I bet you could get a good tan doing that if you chose the right day for it.

Moothead2 · 11 Jul 2013 at 21:11

They should have cut their ropes when they were half way up. I'd pay to watch that

Go look up what the founder of Greenpeace thinks about how it's run now. They left their credibility behind long ago.

They will only be happy when the world population is sub 500k and are all living off the land and sleeping in caves.
