YOU AND I ARE BUT JUICE pt III

[Nast]

All that said, I would like to make a point that I definitely do advocate more environmentally sustainable methods in our way of life. I do agree with you that us city dwellers are estranged from our food sources, and  that raping our planet is extremely careless and self-destructive. If it were possible to find a way to manage our resources so that none of this would happen, it would be a wonderful achievement.

Well, to start off with, did you know that one acre of marijuana puts off as much oxygen as ten acres of rain forest?

I don't have the time do to any arguing right now, so I'll just say that I like the way this thread is going.  Good job.

Sad fact of the matter is even if those who wanted to escape civilization did and went out to live in a more simple way, what would happen?

2) Those who stick to their hippie ideals will die out or begin massacring each other when they start starving and realize the real world aint rainbows and sunshine (NO order can be maintained without food)

Are you one of those people who think food comes from the supermarket?  Even a child can maintain a garden, and there are many edible plants growing wild that most people don't know about because they are sadly uninformed.

no... actually your the idiot that thinks he can become the Green Giant and grow enough produce to substain a population base... god forbid there is a drought or famine, or maybe youll raise livestock (which requires quite a lot of room without the use of evil city technology/ and of course the people not subscriping to your stoned out hippie fantasy are just going give up all the space you require, or fuck that the people living next to you, and by the way there aren't too many animals that can be domesticad for that purpose so if you live in the place your totaly fucked)
HEY AND WE CAN CURE PLAGUES AND OUTBREAKS WITH ALL NATURAL REMEDiES AND GOOD VIBES.. MAN
AND EVERYONE WILL GET ALONG... ITLL BE LIKE FLOWERS RIDING A RAINBOW

Yeah.  I support the legalization of hemp, but I'm calling bullshit on this as well.

Plants don't just make oxygen; they decompose carbon dioxide and water into carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.  The carbon and hydrogen (and some of the oxygen) go towards biomass; the rest of the oxygen is respired.  So in order to give off 10x as much oxygen, your marijuana field is going to have to absorb 10x as much water and CO2 as the acre of rainforest.  Leaving aside the irrigation issues of supplying all that water, it also means that your marijuana field is producing ten times as much biomass as the rainforest.  Really?  Maybe an acre of kudzu or bamboo could do that.  Maybe.


And as far as growing food - maybe you haven't noticed in your (I'm assuming) suburban lifestyle, but there's a food shortage right now.  Most of it is in distribution (too much food going to the rich, not enough to the poor) but even with modern agriculture we're barely making it.

Also antibiotics.  I would have died at age 4 without modern medicine, assuming I was even born (C-section.)

I think everyone of us has a story like that, or someone we care about... or someone who didn't starve, or didn't get hacked to pieces cause we live in countries which has enough food to maintain a kind of orderly existance

but you gotta remember downspiral is going to save the enviroment by growing hemp and solve all the other problems of trying to keep a society alive in the wilderness, away from modern technology by... ahhh... growing hemp I think...

the "Back to Basics" crowd already exists. They are called the Amish, and they are all assholes.

Fixed.

Cain,
thinks you should think before saying things that will bring down the wrath of Amish hackers on this forum.

OK, why is my troll detector maxed out here?

What makes you think that that I would grow food to help maintain a whole population base.  Fact of the matter is I wish most people would croak where they sit.  And for sure for sure, if you came stumbling upon my camp begging for food or water, I'd tell you
"LEARN TO SURVIVE ON YOUR OWN!"
and go back to smoking my joint in peace (and looovvee maaan...) lol

For people claiming to want to or to have already broken out of the box
there are *some of you*
who seem to like to argue for he sake of arguement.
While I agree that there is some wisdom to be found in madness,
I find absolutely no wisdom in your rediculous arguements.
