And Who Exactly is Against the Pipeline?

[Mowich]

Pristine? Yeah f.cking right.

I believe that Canada should regulate its own waters, not rely on an industry group to self-regulate.

Will the tankers coming into the sodium fluoride contaminated waters be any less than the US standard?

I wish people would spend as much time and energy working on a solution to the problems instead of just being hell bent on thwarting the project. What in hell is the use of being able to sit on your veranda looking at the pristine wilderness and breathing air and drinking the pristine water, if you have no food on the table and the bank is knocking your door down?

This strikes me a hyperbolic.

 

[petros]

What pristine wilderness, air and water? You have reverted to reading Disney in your golden years?

The Northern pipeline is opposed by most because of its location, running through pristine wilderness. The environmental impacts and the impacts on the lifestyle of the aboriginal people is all negative. There is not enough pristine wilderness left as it is. Use existing industrial corridors. But.... money, money, money... that is all anybody can think about, that and how much mindless consumerism it will allow them to indulge in.

NIMBY

Pristine? Yeah f.cking right.

Pristine once you look past the clear cuts, open pit mines and gill nets strung across all the rivers that are backed-up by massive hydro projects.

Billions of tons of food grow wild in pristine wilderness that very few even know exists. People lived in this wilderness for thousands of years without all the crap that we consider necessary today. The forest is a grocery store that nobody uses because we are too busy destroying it to buy crap we don't need.

Ohhhh that pristine wilderness.

You ever hear of playing "Devil's advocate"? -

Whew! I thought you went moonbat on us.

 

[Cliffy]

Ohhhh that pristine wilderness.

You are right. There is not much left because humans have destroyed most of it to build their civilization that will eventually choke them to death in their own excrement.

NIMBY

Well yeah, I sure as hell don't want some of the stuff I have seen recently in my backyard.

 

[petros]

All 6 Billion of us.

You can reduce the number anytime. I'll lend you my gun.

 

[JLM]

This strikes me a hyperbolic.

What kind of disease is that?

Becvasue I have a pristine wilderness and food on the table.

 

[petros]

A bad case of numb nuts.

The Salal berries may be a little hard to find under 3' of snow. I'm not sure the average guy's wife is into foraging for supper!

 

[petros]

Oh great. 6 billion people walking around with the salal berry sh*ts

He says as if he isn't part of said civilization.

Holy **** Walt and I agree in something.

If I was Walter, you'd have got a reddie for that remark!
