The Importance of Being Earnest II

Yeah, their the lethal tendencies of the particular group of people I mentioned in the OP really are more "I would die for the whales!" rather than directly trying to harm others.

Are they at least getting laid from this attitude?

I think they mostly sleep with the fishes.

You can get a cream for that, these days.

Or a pill. There's a pill for everything.

You are sick in the HEAD.

I am now going to troll Capitol Grilling about how a bunch of people here are queer for fish.  If that doesn't bring a few over, nothing will.

YES!!

Aren't there more pressing ecological matters than individual whales when it comes to ocean ecology?
The guy even says something the effect of "Oceans die, people die. Simple. Yet people don't get it."

Um yeah. And if a whale gets killed is that going to destroy the ocean? Isn't plankton sort of more critical in that regard? Aren't there giant ocean deserts that are spreading more every year that threaten the very root of ocean ecology that will eventually kill ALL the whales and well as everything else?

If they took that energy they use to put people's live in danger and apply it stopping the course of human activity that is really fucking ourselves over, wouldn't that be more effective in the long run?

Nah fuck it. LET'S RIDE!

YES!!

I was told in PM over there - by two separate people - that I made them actually sick up.

HOW MANY POINTS WAS THAT WORTH?

Because when you start deciding that a cause is more important than human lives, you're heading a bad direction.  When you accept that an idea is worth killing for, you never know where that will stop.

Well, that's simply a matter of how you frame it. And some ideas are worth killing for, fuck pacifism.

Putting the idea of the short-term monetary gains of whaling ahead of people's long-term ability to survive is an example of making a cause more important than human lives.

But we're a convenience culture, right?  All that matters is right now. Fuck the long view. Fuck the consequences that aren't immediately apparent. Plausible deniability bitches!!!!

Um, how did a lot of species go extinct? Oh yeah, we killed ONE too many.

A lot of whales are keystone species. This means that if they go, they take their entire ecosystem with them. And yes, at some point, killing one whale will do that.

If they took that energy they use to put people's live in danger and apply it stopping the course of human activity that is really fucking ourselves over, wouldn't that be more effective in the long run?

Well, we're fucking ourselves over with overfishing the oceans. I don't think it's worth threatening people's lives over because there's better ways to achieve their goals, but I do think the "cause" of protecting whales is a lot more important than it appears on the surface.
