I’m sick to death of all the eco-greenie-AlGore-wannabe-globalwarming-earthday-earthhour-hippie-hempheads in this stupid city and all their self-loathing, self-righteous, holier-than-thou bullshit. Get the hell on your bicycle and ride it somewhere fucking far away from me, will you?
Now please excuse me while I spray Roundup between the concrete blocks in my driveway.—Brenda

Shannon Doherty is such a bitch.
Best bitch I read in a long time. I couldn’t agree more.
you people don’t know tree hugg’n freaks; you wanna see earth people come to yhe west coast omfg they’re everywhere
Can’t wait for the big seismic event that knocks the left coast into the Pacific. Hope you’re on vacation someplace else when it happens Martym. Me, I reduce the carbon footprint by shooting vegans. Do you know how much methane a pound of lentils produces? Jesus Wept! Gotta go, David Suzuki and Elizabeth May are kicking in my front door. Spassibo Kyle, you fucking stukach.
i agree.great bitch
the less you give attention, the sooner they seem to fade away in the mists of time and memory. maybe the less we hear of all these aco-nuts, they might just go back to fucking trees and shrubs, and stop spouting their inane crap, to the rest of the world.
Hear, hear – the more those green gremlins push their fucking agenda on me, the more I want to spit on the nearest tree. And if I hear the term ‘carbon footprint’ one more time, someone’s gonna have my size 9 lodged in their ass.
You guys think Dexter’s been having a rough ride, wait until he has to referee a fight between the Party’s eco-druids and big labor. The so-called working classes are not going to be bought off with windmills on bicycles and all the Soylent Tofu they can eat.
Is this German for The, Greenie! Someone who speaks German can’t be all bad.
Soylent Green is PEOPLE!!!
down with patchouli
Folks, so far, my morning has been sucking the rodentia from perez hilton’s joyhole and the preceding comments have made it all so much easier to take. Spassibo Tovarichki, Spassibo Bolshoi.
If your bitch is about inundation, I hear ya. Who wants hula hoops gyrating in front of their faces all day, or to hear someone say something like “Yeah, like, I think that Harper’s a dick.”, in reference to momentus legislations or bills being passed.
If it is about the fact that you’re a jaded, loveless “Do whatever I want when I want” type (ie: idling your car outside my house for an hour every other day because it is “inconvenient” to turn it off), then you need a reality check. Cancer’s on the rise in this city thanks to people who don’t give a shit about the things hippies do. I know four people of varying ages and occupations who’ve been diagnosed in the last year. Environment seems to be the common link here. Hippies can be annoying, but they’re also at the core of mobilizing the political lobbying, research, and intelligent grunt work for the sustainability and balance of people + environment. Fortunately for you, they know that your anger is simply being channeled towards them because you have something else going on (Maybe something existential or ideological….identity crisis? Feeling the weight of a bunch of smiles judging your harshness?). And so, thankfully, they are impervious to your scorn and it will not hinder their efforts to protect you.
I don’t buy the “Messiah” act when it comes from some plastic faced televangelist with a fondness for rent-boys and crystal meth and I’m sure as hell not going to buy it from “Cherokee-Hair Tampon” brigade either.
Slog through all 900 pages of “Rainbow Six” and be treated to the best punch line Tom Clancy ever wrote. Eco-guerilla’s left buck naked in their beloved rain forest without so much as a Phish CD or woven hemp spirit catcher. Guess what? Nature wins – it always does
Excellent point the OP makes. Now back to washing my SUV, spraying the tires, and wasting water.
I think there needs to be some middle ground. I’m all for conserving energy and recycling, but some people take it to a whole other level.
no hollah, they take it to a fucking exreme leval. for every ounce of clean air, there are ten pounds of smog. that’s the price we pay for being civilized in a civilized world. maybe the cavepeople had it right, hunt and gather, only when needed. don’t think i’m an eco-nut, just someone that watches the wild kingdom come into town every so often. where else they goona go, there are fuck all trees left for them to hide around, in this province, and with all the clear cutting, there will be a lot less next year. get used to seeing a zoo, parade past your front yard in the days to come.
I just threw another chunk of tree into my woodstove…you wanna hug that, you best be in a fireproof suit. I am one of those people who is so sick of the BS like ‘earthday’, where you turn off your lights for an hour. I turn every single light I have on, just to show my disdain for the whole idiocy & the bunch of idiots involved.
I like it when people care about the planet, I just hate it when they have to turn it into a fashion statement. It’s belittling to the cause! It’s starting to seem like less a genuine cause (which it is) and more like a trendy fad.
If anyone has flown out of Halifax during the days you will see that there is no shortage of trees in N.S.!!!
Especially them pointy ones – fuck, I hate spruce trees – they’re the trailer trash of treedom.
MORE— you turn on all your lights? Really? Now who is being an idiot?
So do I, then go for a long drive. I pay for it, I’ll use it if I want. I also fully support the seal hunt, eat tasty animals. But I don’t go flying all over the world spouting foolishness and con people into giving me money on useless environmental policies such as carbon trading.
You pay for it all right and so does everyone else. But if it makes you feel better being selfish then so be it…..
Here’s my Zen moment from a couple of years ago. Channel surfing on a Sunday morning I caught David Suzuki on the ceeb. A public opinion poll had just been released on the topic of just how many sacrifices Canadians were prepared to make in order to meet our Kyoto commitments. Well Honorable Dr. Chicken Little-san clearly didn’t believe his fellow citizens were rushing to regress to a third world lifestyle with enough haste because his chin-slinky was just aquiver with that combination of disbelief and indignation that lefty intellectuals affect when not enough grad students are highlighting passages from their latest book.
So I change channels and there he is again, singing the praises of Australia, it’s natural beauties, it’s progressive environmental policies and the fact that he likes to go there at least once a year.
Really Doctor, and how, perchance, do you make the journey? By bike? snowboard? balsa wood raft?
Piss off.
My SUV runs on Polar Bear gallbladders.
I’m a real man, right?
Ivan, exactly right. dar, so when is oil going to run out? In the 1970’s the scientists said the oil would be gone by 2000 and yet they are finding new sources. In the ’70s they said there would be an Ice Age by now and yet we hear global warming. Hold on, they are talking about global warming but now they’re talking about volcanic activity in Iceland which will cool the world. I wonder what disaster science will bring tomorrow?
giant hamsters…i’m ready for zombies but not those furry fuckers
As long as there’s a long CGI montage of Paris being laid waste set to the strains of “Rock You Like A Hurricane.” And Pain Girl, if you have a access to a good video store, try and check out 1972’s “Night Of The Lepus” Two words – Killer Bunnies. Two more words – DeForrest Kelley.
aaah, perhaps it’s similar to ray millands frogs, or the man with two heads
Alternative energy, recycling, all good stuff. I applaude these initiatives.
What pisses me off is that the nobility of caring about your planet and your fellow person has been completely denigrated by the politics of global warming.
I saw a documentary 30 years ago that said that in the future we’d be exchanging carbon credits.
Sorry, not global warming, climate change. The Department of the Defense in the Sates used to be called the Department of War. Obfuscation through sophistry.
It’s fraud on a massive scale.
I could list quote after Malthusian quote from those most entrenched in the greenie movement.
Just go and find some of Maurice Strong’s quotes from the first earth summit in Rio in 92′. That alone should be enough to see where all this is heading.
So let me get this straight: A bunch of crew-cut “righty” ignoramuses are pissed off at a bunch of long-haired “lefty” hippies. Big surprise there. I would say I’m surprised that right-wing capitalists would be so ignorant… oh, but wait… Who spent 8 years as President of the United States? George W Bush? Nope. No surprise.
I suspect you all had a good heavy bitch when women started rubbing their right to vote and their equality in your faces. Probably got all worked up in a tiff because the fight for gay rights pushed “gay” up in your faces.
What about all the capitalist, consumption driven propaganda that your people shove down our throats everyday and have been shoving down our throats since day one? You don’t seem to have a bitch about how companies shove their products in your face using every possible bit of research into human behaviour to get you to buy THEIR product, service or way of life.
It is entirely possible to live a healthy life with modern luxuries and still do good for the Earth. It takes a bit of conscious effort to consume less and consume smart. Oh wait… that involves effort. I should be impressed you actually took the time to turn on a computer and leave a Bitch. Bravo. Bravo.
Oh, and if you don’t like it, then move. We have a great city in Canada for selfish consumer-driven pieces of shit like you: Toronto. Better yet: Move south of the border.
Everyone knows it’s sooooooo much better to pour poison roundup into the soil than do something just as effective to remove weeds…try pouring boiling water between your concrete blocks. It’s non-toxic. HRM bans the use of herbicides for weed control but still allows them to be sold for use!!! I’m not an extreme tree-hugger but I do believe in using a little common sense. Poisoning the planet that keeps us alive? To quote a certain movie character ‘stupid is as stupid does’. For a so-called intelligent species we sure have a long way to go to prove that.
Us crew-cut, Tom Clancy reading, Toby Keith listening, knuckle-dragging capitalists ( we work for our money to buy the things we want – that makes us capitalists right?) actually like the planet and most of the things on it. Its the fundamentalist, soap & hot water eschewing, bicycle-riding, tofu gobbling, Chomsky regurgitating, eco-druids who enjoy their smell of their own organic flatus just a little too much whom we despise.
Medium, folks, not the message. Want to re-educate us poor benighted heathens – push the fact that you can save a piss-pot full of money from fuel efficient cars and energy efficient homes. But that’s not ideologically correct is it? Want to promote alternate energy sources – paint a picture of the west being able to tell the degenerate grease-bags of the House of Saud and that oily pimp Chavez to take their magic mud and fuck right off.
But, you’ll never read these ideas on the liner notes of a U-2 album so what’s the point.
Keep embracing that diversity that the left love so much, as long as it doesn’t diverge from your own.
Dar, its my place I’ll turn the damn lights on if I want to. THose old tires burning you might have smelled if you were out here, were my old tires & there’s a lot of BTU’s that come out of a tire when you burn it.
Back on the lights are ON ! subject…maybe it’ll make you happier to know I have replaced all the bulbs in my place with those new twisty looking energy efficient florescent bulbs…not because I wanted to save money…no it was so I can help spread even more mercury into the enviorment, when they’re no longer working.
Just trying to do my part…speaking of which has everyone else made sure to throw some plastic in the ocean this week ?
Yep. I even went to the extreme of bringing back my Killex and weed n feed from new Brunswick since you cannot buy it here anymore. I intend to do what I have done for 40 years (surprisingly I do not have cancer or two heads) and saturate my fucking lawn with it every chance I get. What amazes me is that as kids we used to play on fucking lawns that had been sprayed with weed killer or pesticide, and we all lived to tell about it. Go figure.
Dear Greenie. By osmosis, co-opted, these are your friends now.
“Isn’t the only hope for the planet that the industrialized civilizations collapse? Isn’t it our responsibility to bring that about?”

“We are on the verge of a global transformation. All we need is the right major crisis.”
– David Rockefeller, Club of Rome executive manager
John P. Holdren, President Obama’s Science Czar, participated in a book extolling the virtues of placing toxins in drinking water to cause sterility. ‘Ecoscience’.
I shit you not.
you people don’t know tree hugg’n freaks; you wanna see earth people come to yhe west coast omfg they’re everywhere
west coast and green? ill give you a personal experience that proves they are full of shit. at a stoplight, a lady in another car passenger seat opened her door and deposited on the roadside a neat little box and all the wrappings etc for her brand new cellphone. if i wasnt driving id have ran across the boulevard and thrown the box back in her car for her. green in the west coast….TOTAL bullshit lol. you can put perfume on a pile of dog crap but its still a pile of dog crap.
