    Robinson Jeffers once said, "I'd sooner, except the penalties, kill a man than a hawk"

    To that I will add:

    I'd sooner cry for a dead tree than a dead man.

    See, one has proven itself invaluable to the planet and our own existence. The other, the exact opposite. I'll let you do the math.

    what's the big deal? ... what does it matter to you what others do that has absolutely zero impact on you or anyone you know?

    some people act like that at the mention of the word "tax" ... :roll:

    doesn't matter at all to me... they are certainly free to express themselves however they want. I just think the way they have chosen to do so is pathetic beyond fucking measure. Grow a set and make yourself heard! Shit man life is too short and these causes are too important to sit around crying about it.

    uhhh ... they are part of a group called Earth First http://earthfirst.org/

    it's pretty obvious they actually do something about it ...

    cool. But the part where they cry (fake-cry, actually) about a dead-tree is so incredibly pathetic it is beyond measure.

    with all due respect - you are judging something you know absolutely nothing about ... do you watch documentaries about chanting tribal groups in the amazon and say they are pathetic?? ...

    I take it back.. I did act this way when i knocked over a beer and it ruined my last nugg.. :mrgreen:

    with all due respect... I know about crying... and I know about trees. How the fuck can you compare this situation with a foreign culture's "chant" documentary? Are you high?

    I posted this earlier today, before this thread existed. Seems to fit...

    Sure, lots of people do. However, I suspect the cockroaches will have the last one.

    who said it?
    love it.


    don't watch you tube at work, but well, trees are important no? :|
    if someone wants to cry over em, more power to em. hurts no one.
    just don't take bereavement leave over your pet, or dunk will hunt you down.
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow


  • this is a post below that video. It is exactly what I was thinking:

    "I wonder how many people watching this video, laughing at these people's emotional outbursts over trees believe in a magical man who can reward them with eternal life who actively monitors their day to day life.
    Look in the mirror. Crazy is crazy, no matter how you spin it. "

    I'm also wondering who's crying for the blades of grass that these people are so calously crushing with their dirty bums as they sit and cry and hard shoes as they walk on by?

    Great post. :thumbup:
    I too love nature and believe we should do all we can to preserve it but these tossers make me want to destroy a tree just to spite them.

    There is a pleasure in the pathless woods,
    There is a rapture on the lonely shore,
    There is society where none intrudes,
    By the deep Sea, and music in its roar:
    I love not Man the less, but Nature more,
    From these our interviews, in which I steal
    From all I may be, or have been before,
    To mingle with the Universe, and feel
    What I can ne’er express, yet cannot all conceal.

    Roll on, thou deep and dark blue Ocean - roll!
    Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
    Man marks the earth with ruin - his control
    Stops with the shore; - upon the watery plain
    The wrecks are all thy deed, nor doth remain
    A shadow of man’s ravage, save his own,
    When for a moment, like a drop of rain,
    He sinks into thy depths with bubbling groan,
    Without a grave, unknelled, uncoffined, and unknown.
    hear my name
    take a good look
    this could be the day
    hold my hand
    lie beside me
    i just need to say

    if you have ever witnessed the tree cutting guys and how they drop a tree and whoot and hollar and applaud,
    it can make you cry.
    watching the death of a tree that has stood for over a century enjoying life and each season
    then seeing the empty space that the birds fly through
    it can break your heart
    this is why I live in the woods

    :roll: :roll:

    i'm gonna say you don't really love nature ... you think it's cool to kick people in the genitalia for doing something they believe in and that has absolutely no bearing to you and to top it off - you want to hurt them deeply just out of spite?? ... that is what i call pathetic ...

    i know i'm probably taking this too seriously but this to me is laughing at someone with downs or something ...

    How does this not have impact on you?

    Do you breath air?

    1st Grade Lesson: TREES MAKE AIR

    Earth First is fiercely defending disappearing forests everywhere. They don't sit around and cry. The video shows nothing about what happend to make these people feel such hopelessness.

    Where is the whole video?

    Many humans are moving so fast that they are becoming more intolerant to emotions and grief. Do people look odd crying at a funeral? Is the death of the planet from humans not something to be enraged about?

    Earth First is out there fighting their asses off so you can fill your lungs with invisable empathy.

    Intolerance abounds. As usual. That's what I call sad AND pathetic.
