Yes, it is true.

Based on our carbon footprints, each of us truely only deserves to live on this planet for a limited amount time. The more you squander the resourses of the Mother Gaia, the less time you deserve to live. Now, some liberal has done us the favor of giving us a website to help figure out when we should pass on due to our greediness and over utilization of natural resources. Find out how long you should live! Check it out.

What is your opinion regarding this website, anything concerning this website? I am particularily appalled this is aimed at children.

I'm certainly not a big fan of something like that being aimed at children.

I took their test, thinking the whole time about how I know I don't anything much to bother the Earth; and it still came up with "you used up ....whatever...by the time you were 23 years old." So, in other words, the person who doesn't do much of anything to destroy the environment/Earth "used up" his share of the resources in just over 20 years.

Well, you know what - sorry. I'm not apologizing for the mere fact that ended up existing on the planet; and you know what else? I'm aiming to live to be 110! Neither do I think children should be made to feel lousy about their existence on Earth!

Nobody cares more about the environment and Earth than I (and a whole lot of other people do); and, of course, people should be aware of not doing things to destroy the environment (particularly large corporations, with their junk they have to dispose of). None of us, however, decided to be born; and there are actually people who believe that humans have done a lot of good things on, and for, the world.

Most normal people want children to see themselves as valued on this Earth. The fools who put together than website (with it's skull and crossbones) are just idiots. They're going to do more to harm their own cause than they will help it.

I've always been "good" about the Earth and what I do, but over recent years I'm getting so sick of hearing about "green" I'm getting to the point where I feel like saying, "Forget it. I'm doing what I want to do - and let the grandchildren I don't have yet worry about the Earth when the time comes!"

Green, green, green, green, green, green, green, etc. etc. - when campaigns get to the point where the real information is buried somewhere under all the hype and "coolness" of "being enlightened" people start to tune out.

If you want to become really outraged, take the test and answer it as if you are Al Gore. I did this. What happens is that your 'pig' becomes bigger and bigger and bigger until you get to the question near the end about investments. Then, for the correct answer, your pig shrinks right down to almost nothing and you are found to be in harmony with the earth!

No matter how wasteful your energy usuage, if your investments are deemed green and beneficial to the environment, it cancels out any wasteful, frivolous lifestyle, according to this website!

This is complete propaganda nonsense trying to indoctrinate young children.

Hello Red,

I will absolutely join you in never voting for anyone who thinks like this!!!

I find it interesting that the site appears to be geared toward children, yet how would children know how much the monthly electricity, or heating bills are?

Also, the site references taking into account the "work related CO2 in your score...', and instructs that "If you really want to make a difference, invest your money or time in businesses and organisations that make environmentally responsible products for everyone."

And, the biggie:

Question #5 Size of house: The "science behind the question" --

"The more people you share with, the lower the energy costs you'll have, because housemates share cooking, tv, stereo-time, and the occassional bath."

Housemates share the occassional bath??? Hmmm, that's interesting! Does that include sibblings and unrelated individuals? It would seem that this site has more of an agenda than just environmental responsibility!

So, I'm not really sure whether the site is directed toward children, or those adults who would seek out cartoon caricatures for their instructional value. Bizarre!!!


myLot reputation of 31/100. redyellowblackdog (3475)  8 months ago

For sure, the author of the site is not thinking clearly, presenting their ideas honestly, or someone whose ideas should be assumed to have merit.

I think this is the typical stupidity that we have come to expect from these global warming fascists.

The whole idea behind the global warming agenda is ignoring the actual science on the matter and most people are so brainwashed into the idea that they refuse to see the truth of it.

Of course this is aimed at children as they are the most susceptible to any kind of indoctrination as they tend to believe anything the see or hear.


myLot reputation of 31/100. redyellowblackdog (3475)  8 months ago

Fascist propaganda aptly describes this site.

Those idiots told me I suppose to have died at 7.3 years old. Boy I am doing a good job at not living green. Do not worry I have no plains on changing anything about my life style. Also Redyellowblackdog do not worry I have no plains to vote for these morons for believe in this stuff. I think we should ask every politians, before we vote for them, what they actually think about this non-sense.


myLot reputation of 31/100. redyellowblackdog (3475)  8 months ago

If you want to be really outraged at those morons, read my response to poster #1. I tried an experiment of pretending I was Al Gore while answering. The result is not amusing.
