It's an instinct. An instinct that more often than not collides with liberalism.<br /><br />We're at loggerheads with the left and their cultural relativism at least as much as we have problems with the right. Barely a day goes past when Animals Australia or similar groups don't get lambasted as 'racist' by the left.<br /><br />The real green movement has similar problems.<br /><br />Our enemies are equally right wing humanists like some of the commenters above who believe in the universal goodness of man vis-a-vis nature and the lefty liberals who want Africa to overpopulate and China to continue skinning dogs alive.veganistanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-53136554847751194772011-08-10T03:43:08.925+10:002011-08-10T03:43:08.925+10:00Sorry I meant Amerika.org.Sorry I meant Amerika.org.Elizabeth Smithhttp://alcestiseshtemoa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-52901864669203771702011-08-09T19:39:18.479+10:002011-08-09T19:39:18.479+10:00some may find its remoteness and tranquility poeti...<i> some may find its remoteness and tranquility poetic </i><br /><br />Such people deserve to be transformed into polar bear feces.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-72245292016939852222011-08-09T01:48:08.082+10:002011-08-09T01:48:08.082+10:00Brett Steven's website is a great source deali...Brett Steven's website is a great source dealing with nature from a traditional conservative perspective -> <a href="www.amerika.org" rel="nofollow">Amerika</a> <br /><br />It's conservationist, not environmentalist.Elizabeth Smithhttp://alcestiseshtemoa.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-28883222489730521992011-08-08T22:18:21.161+10:002011-08-08T22:18:21.161+10:00If it were me, better the nutjobs mourn the dead b...If it were me, better the nutjobs mourn the dead bear than not-mourn me.Jonathan Wolfehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958622460101172299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-77304282211113324222011-08-08T16:57:50.643+10:002011-08-08T16:57:50.643+10:00PS to Anonymous: If Svalbrad is not for you, fine....PS to Anonymous: If Svalbrad is not for you, fine.

Whenever a person begins to bemoan "anthropocentrism" or "speciesism," we should, perhaps, treat them like an inanimate object. They probably don't really mean it, but what they are saying is that they no longer recognize humanity as a moral community, and recognition of humanity as a moral community is the price of admission to that community.JMSmithnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-24082351939993731222011-08-07T15:09:58.671+10:002011-08-07T15:09:58.671+10:00Anon, I think then you'd find my toddler daugh...Anon, I think then you'd find my toddler daughter cute!<br /><br />Van Wijk, although my preference is to live in/near a forest, I do think you get a strong sense of the elements living in a "harsher" environment.<br /><br />Here are some <a href="http://www.google.com.au/search?q=sonoran+desert+pictures&hl=en&rls=com.microsoft:en-au:IE-SearchBox&rlz=1I7ADFA_en&prmd=ivns&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=7R0-TsO1LY7JmAXEoPHyBw&ved=0CBwQsAQ&biw=1280&bih=822" rel="nofollow">pictures</a> of the Sonoran desert.Mark Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15961688379656119701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-16235394173900556522011-08-07T14:31:00.505+10:002011-08-07T14:31:00.505+10:00(not just blonde/blue eyed...undeniably white..my ...(not just blonde/blue eyed...undeniably white..my friend has a beautiful little baby who is a brunette with liz taylor violet eyes, so don't worry I'm not that bad!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-89726193684729530932011-08-07T14:25:33.854+10:002011-08-07T14:25:33.854+10:00In my family we were making a joke one day....
Th...In my family we were making a joke one day....<br /><br />There was a picture of children and then a picture of a kitty.<br /><br />My mother and I both said "Awwwww" at the picture of the cat at the same time. But we both stayed silent on the humans. <br /><br />Then we started laughing at the ridiculousness of what we had just done!<br /><br />I think the reason why I do that is because I've been around enough to realize that humans grow up to screw you over, whereas domesticated animals love you unconditionally.<br /><br />I will say though that when I see a child who is blonde/blue eyed like myself I have the "awwww" reaction (especially under 7 years old.) But other children I do not have a warm reaction to. Which is even more reason why I have to marry someone as close to me genetically as possible. <br /><br />As far as a wild animal...Well...I'm not stupid!! Polar Bears are wild and will rip your face off. They are not your friends. I don't get cuddly emotions over non-domesticated animals. <br /><br />It's a hierarchy of caring for me based upon who is most likely to screw me over in real life. So yeah, some animals rank higher.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6832901.post-24350907708731184352011-08-07T13:53:44.869+10:002011-08-07T13:53:44.869+10:00I highly recommend the Werner Herzog documentary G...I highly recommend the Werner Herzog documentary <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grizzly_Man" rel="nofollow"><i>Grizzly Man,</i></a> which is about the life and death of Timothy Treadwell. Treadwell pretty much embodied the fanaticism that permeates the left-wing environmentalist movement today. At one point he states emphatically that he would die to protect the animals he loved. Eventually he and his girlfriend were eaten by one of them.<br /><br /><i>Looking at the pictures of Svalbard, I am baffled why anyone would want to visit such a barren wasteland.</i><br /><br />It looks quite beautiful to me.

Humans do not matter,...Welcome to the Green world.<br /><br />Humans do not matter, we have dominated our environment to make things better for ourselves.<br /><br />This was how we spread as a species. <br /><br />We are not big or strong or fast, it was a matter of banding into close knit groups and dominating and "exploiting" the local environment in order to make a world where more of our own would be able to live. <br /><br />Now children are so brainwashed from such an early age to see animals as the equal of humans that such sanity is breaking down. It happened to me years ago, it is much stronger now. <br /><br />Thankfully such muddled thinking seems to mostly be confined to young women and public employees.Jamesnoreply@blogger.com
