socialist Posted June 29, 2012 Report Posted June 29, 2012 my freinds and i were heading out on a tree planting expeedition this morning when we were verbally assaulted by a suv full of pampered silver spooners. they were giving us a hard time telling us to get real jobs and laughing at our clothes. i told these aholes that we were helping to preserve the earth and reversing the damage their gas guzzlin suvs were doing to our mother earth gaia. why do people have to be like that. if anyone has ever planted trees under the hot sun you will realize it is one of the most difficult jobs there is. we dont take breaks because we get paid for each tree we plant. these punks can laugh at us but i know i am making a difference to make the world a better place. one of the ahole threw his big gulp at us as they pulled away. no class punks. they missed us with their sugar induced cocktail but being the good environmentalists that we are we picked up the cup and put it in the garbage. i hope you people out here realize the verbal abuse environmentalists have to take at the hands of the greedy pigs. one guy made a ignorant comment about my shirt that said I love GREENPEACE!! it amazes me how ungrateful some members of our so called society really are.

Argus Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 And why were they giving you a hard time? You didn't by any chance say something to them about their 'gas guzzling suv' did you?

socialist Posted June 30, 2012 Author Report Posted June 30, 2012 Yeah that MUST be it.... there is no point talking to you. you don't understand the environmental movement and yo dont appreciate the work of activists like me who are trying to make the earth cleaner and better for yo and your family. you are unappreciative.

Shady Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Nobody believes your made-up story. And believe it or not, most people that own an SUV aren't so-called silver spooners. They're middle-class families with children. Quote

This must be the answer to your wet dreams. You were out saving the world, and were targetted by a group of uneducated, unappreciative boors, who didn't recognize your sacrifice and compassion for the earth. You live for this. Martyrdom rules!

Canuckistani Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Nobody believes your made-up story. And believe it or not, most people that own an SUV aren't so-called silver spooners. They're middle-class families with children. So this middle class family decided to denigrate tree planters? How sad. One thing is true, tree planting is very hard work. And it's certainly more of a real job than hawking derivatives. Quote

Back in the late 60's when these ideas were just getting started we young folks of the time spent many weekends doing this for FREE! Times change and so do values, I guess... How many trees did you plant on your weekends. A good tree planter can do a 1000 trees a day - and still there are plenty of areas out there that are NSR (not sufficiently restocked). Feel free to go there on a weekend and have at it. Quote

Back in the late 60's when these ideas were just getting started we young folks of the time spent many weekends doing this for FREE! Times change and so do values, I guess... My thoughts exactly as I read the opening post - along with a few other select thoughts. At any rate, the story isn't so much one of "heading out on a tree planting expeedition [sic]" as it is one of heading out to work. Quote
Canuckistani Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 Wonder what you people who mock getting paid for tree planting do for a living, and if it is half as socially beneficial an enterprise as tree planting is. No doubt socialist is sanctimonious about it, but for Canada, tree planting is an important job and one that should be valued, not denigrated. Quote

I'm not sure people are denigrating the work; I think they have some issues with socialist's...style, shall we say.

But this bullshit about planting trees for free just gets to me. I've worked in the woods, both in logging and silviculture. I know how hard the work is and how little it is valued. Surely there are lots of other ways to take a poke at socialist. I do think he's over the top, but I admit to having a soft spot for him, vs all the little Alex P. Keatons out there. I hope he keeps some of his idealism as he grows up. Quote
bleeding heart Posted June 30, 2012 Report Posted June 30, 2012 (edited) I get that. But this bullshit about planting trees for free just gets to me. I've worked in the woods, both in logging and silviculture. I know how hard the work is and how little it is valued. Sure, of course you're right. Many of the more demanding and difficult jobs are derided and mocked. Surely there are lots of other ways to take a poke at socialist. I do think he's over the top, but I admit to having a soft spot for him, vs all the little Alex P. Keatons out there. I hope he keeps some of his idealism as he grows up. I think I speak for a lot of posters when I suggest that he's extremely aggressive, which is off-putting.

I have to admit I find it kinda funny. Doesn't do much for his credibility tho. But why should all the foamers (as in mouth) be on the right? Quote
