Go Veg, Be Green, Save Our Planet!

[Saint 1]

To curb global warming and save our planet, we need to adopt a plant-based diet (vegetarian).

Please discuss and debate on the plant-based diet to help save our planet.

Thanks!

i dont see how becoming a vegetarian is helping the planet. fruits and vegetables take more farming land than say chicken. Farm land requires deforestation, and intoxicating the soil with fertilisers, insecticides and pesticides. with the world's growing population on vegatarian diet, you're looking at destroying the planet faster than a swarm of locusts.

The truly sustainable method to save the planet is to cut down reproduction rates, which most nations are fervently trying to boost.

[Candide]

Combining the above ideas, I suggest we should start eating humans. Save the planet, harpoon a landwhale today! We can start with North America or Australia where there are a lot of big folks that have been well-fed. Mmmm....

Jonathan Swift fan, eh?

When I saw your name in the thread, I thought we'd get something about vegetarians, shrinking brains, and bad judgment.

Is it the *nations* that are promoting this (on a government level), or simply the fact that people get horny?

[PJ]

Don't you folks get it?

The only way to save the planet, is through the power of He Who Created The Planet!

Only through the divine intervention of God (Cantonese: san) can we restore the health of our planet.

So please, say your prayers tonight for the sake of the planet.

Jonathan Swift fan, eh?

No idea who he is, but we meat lovers think alike.

Like women, I'm unpredictable and a mystery.

An English satirical writer of the 17th Century, most famous for having written Gulliver's Travels, but also known for this little number here, which your remark brought to mind.

lol, that's what I thought of too. Best part is some people actually took/take him seriously... I vaguely remember hearing Swift got thumped by some angry Irishmen.

Anyway, to get back on topic... I have a feeling rethinking energy and resource usage is going to have a greater positive impact than shrinking your brains.

[Guo Xiang]

Okay, I correct myself: The nations want to boost birth rates and the people are very horny. Horny humans should get culled every now and then.

Oh tell me what you want, what you really really want, Candy.

According to Candide, lack of meat consumption is responsible for every dubious decision made by Buddhist clergymen in wuxia.

i think we should restore the rainforest. Save the tree save the world.

that is 90% of the population and im one of them i dont want to be culled!

[Ren Ying Ying]

for the sake of the earth...

though, in certain nations, it's not "horney" people that are the problem--but rather "stupid" people

Weird, I've read all two and love them, yet forget the dude's name. Oh well.

Oh tell me what you want, what you really really want, Candy.

Take me out to a fancy restaurant, show me a good time, and I'll tell you. Call me, call me now...

It's true. Xu Zhu is an example of a former monk getting much smarter and making much better decisions after he started to eat meat, drink wine and have sex with beautiful women.

It will do more harm than good!!!!!!!
There will be too much fishes in the ocean, too much other animals in the wild, ect.... In addition, life will be miserable for large portion of the population of meat lovers as they unable to adapt to vegetarian foods. By the way, I have nothing against the vegetarians though, but I just can't live my life as one... I agree with someone here that the better solution is to lower reproduction rate.

My solution is "DO NOT CREATE THE CHILDREN THAT YOU UNABLE TO RAISE" and "Think about the possible consequence before action". If everyone takes personal responsibility seriously with great personal behavior and personal accountability, lot of problems like famine, poverty, crime, ect... will be prevented...

Too difficult. Human intelligence is overrated and the ego is too big for us to swallow.

I would say that is pretty easy to do.... There are many members in spcnet here that are in their 30s and still single. If these people can live their live responsibly, why can't others??
The problem is that society doesn't hold people accountable on everything they do. To make the matter worse, we often make excuse to justify their actions...
