Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Are you saying the other half wouldn't demand action?

This isn't about what the idiots would do. This is about what leaders would've been asked to do if the headlines were about the oceans and not aliens.

Do not do the shady politicians' job for them and help the distraction work... It was to cover so they could remain lazy.

Lol as if the half that cares has gotten their politicians to do anything about it when they actually have control.

Right, great idea - let's all just give up and jump from the top of a cliff headfirst into rocks. No, wait, what I meant is bad idea. Horrible, horrible idea.

Seriously, stop doing their work for them. The point was to keep the job less stressful. Just because they'd ignore everyone doesn't mean they want to hear all of those calls to action.

And my point is that you can shout until your lungs disintegrate and the only thing that really talks is money. Money you ain't giving them and big oil is.

I agree. My point is putting your lips to their ass to blow raspberries doesn't help. A lot of people view it as unironic ass kissing.
