As long as I have my health, good friends, and can take nice walks in the sun feeling the smell of flowers or summer rain, I'll be just fine. I dont need stuff.
Unlikely to be lazy enough to ever get myself a car and I would find it interesting, unusual and a little bit exciting if someone came around to burn my books and pretty sure it could lead to good discussions, and it is always interesting to meet new people.
Generally speaking I appreciate the...
That is your personal interpretation of their protest.
Surely some pro-Chinese government avg people - in case they had known about this - would have said "Here a dumb, passive-aggressive dude have stopped this ole tank from driving back to the garage".
Maybe we should just agree to disagree...
Yeah well that is one thing about actions, they often cause inconvenience for someone. Poor Olga Ivanov might not have been able to buy her new fake mink fur at some store around the Manezhnaya square when there was anti-war protests over there a month ago. Or that bloke standing in front of the...
Possessions are not all that holy in my commie heart.
I think it was a good idea. Don't regret it one bit. The "lets write an angry note about these nazis once they've had a demonstration and protest on the square in the town where you live" approach is not for me.
Not a fan of book burning so...
Ok... so no direct actions against some corporations if they are covered by insurance.
:facepalm:
Silly me, I didnt check if one of the speakers of nazi party Nordiska Motståndsrörelsen had a car insurance before smashing the rearview mirror of his parked car during the nazi demonstration in...
Do you not feel ridiculous at all using the word terror - previously used to describe things such as the acts that killed 52 people in London, thousands of people in WTC and 193 people in Madrid - about destroying a couple of petrol pumps or "block doors to McDonalds"? You really think these...
Wind power is... not efficient. Great with the solar panels though. But none of this is enough.
As I've said before, the reason why they are "lagging behind" is because they are importing our problems. If we have a 100 environmental problems, we solve one and ship the rest abroad. China and...
Hypocrisy is human. I'd love to be a funk bass player but I don't play the bass every day. I'd like to have the body of... someone who is not increasingly fat and old. But I don't work out. I'd prefer if the children in Africa didn't starve, but I'm not sending my Tom Yum-spiced noodles to...
Don't know. I was active on the Swansea Reddit forum - where there was pretty much only football related discussion - rather than Planet Swans, so I can't compare really.
But comparing to some of the other forums where I've been lurking at times, such as Stockports Yellowboard and recently the...
Laws are not inherently good. I mean, what is in the phrase "law breaking criminals?"
Law breaking criminals, such as the black people who broke the laws that they had to sit in the back of the bus in the US? Law breaking criminals, such as those men who were homosexual in the UK before 1967...
Nowt wrong with Luddites. You're right though, and you can't assume that activists are bad just because they are active and "disturbing" you. Comparing these people protesting the impotent dealings regarding environmental issues with "the Paedophile Information Exchange" is pretty rich.
It was...
I agree, activists will be activists. When those in Sweden who had fought for suffrage in Sweden won their battle, plenty of them moved on to demand 8 hour work days. And plenty of those who were involved in fighting for 25 days of vacation each year were also the same people fighting for the...
What indicates this awareness?
People keep driving when most could either take the train or the bus.
People keep buying a new phone every other year, they keep upgrading their televisions - not because they are broken but because they want to have a bigger screen - and all kinds of luxuary...
