Oh god, won't someone think of the poor babies! Or some dick head who falls off a ladder. You are trying to equate some random bad thing that might happen, with the greatest catastrophe that the world has ever faced. The weakness of that argument really tells you all you need to know. Come back with something more rigorous, or shut up.
Taking out your frustration on innocent people/children/babies is stupid, plain and simple.
Yeah, that's not what's happening and you know it, it's an easy out for people who don't want to be inconvenienced in their day to day, because they're too stupid to see the bigger picture.
You're the one that's too stupid to see beyond your own agenda. It is happening. I've seen a woman begging those wankers to let an ambulance through to get her child to hospital.

Of course it happens, what I was referring to is the part of the message I quoted.

I don't care about that woman's child, completely irrelevant in the face of what's happening. If a few people die or get hurt, then so be it. Utilitarianism all the way.

If you don't care about human life why do you care about climate change?

People are being harmed unnecessarily because of the JSO nutters. Nobody is going to be saved by their actions. Nobody gives a fuck about them. We never gave in to IRA terrorists. We don't give in to ISIS, and under no circumstances will JSO nutcases achieve anything or change the way people think or behave.

You introduce new straw men with every response, jesus wept ISIS bares no comparison with what is going on here.

Nobody gives a fuck? - check this thread, check the headlines.

JSO won't change the way people think? No, course not, not like history isn't littered with examples of protest changing the course of history.

Get off the internet, read a book, educate yourself; learn first how to form a cogent argument, and secondly some flipping history.

Heartfelt complaint.
I agree. i think in the next decade or so people will look back and think "WTF did we do so little"

JSO don't go far enough. And it's too late to be trying to change people's minds who'll never change anyway. It's time to step up the defence the planet.

I think democracy should decide. JSO are a lobby. Whether the decision makers respond is an open book. I hope some common sense prevails, but I fear selfish stupidity will prevail.

Nobody in government gives a fuck about JSO and they never will. Never mind tougher sentences, they should just be lined against the wall and shot. :)

Have you got any children? Do you actually care about what happens when you've gone?

It's governments that should be lined up and shot.

No, I don't have children. Yes, I do care about the human race continuing after I'm gone, but I don't have time for do-gooders, especially self-righteous idiots who think they're god, know better than us and think we should do as they say.

People with a mental age of ten often think we have two options; we either do something or do nothing.

The reality is there is an infinite number of options and if you plan to cut down on emissions, there's an infinite number of levels or extents that you can aim for. Why should we let a bunch of raving lunatics and baby killers set out the plans? If they want to run the country an election's coming up next year so they can set up a political party!

Any flipping idiot can say stop burning coal, stop driving cars. Why don't they set out their detailed plans, timescale and costs for their ideas? The reason why is that they don't have any that would stand the test of scrutiny. They don't seem to have any brains.

And who exactly would you want to aim a gun at if you had a close relative who died in an ambulance because they were stopped by these nutters?

Sounds like a good definition of a Tory to me, 30 pence Lee is a pretty good example.

I'm pretty right-wing when it comes to serious crime, not so serious crime, and people dropping litter on the streets!

I read somewhere that White Chocolate(which I LOVE) doesn't actually contain any chocolate. :evil: This needs investigating further.
