Thread: The Green's policy towards fishing

    Re: The Green's policy towards fishing

    Atriplex, taken that you are 14 then you have a few more years left before you enter the REAL world.

    A world of mortgages, food on the table, fuel in the vehicle, Kids in school and all the other things the REAL world throws at us.
    And hopefully something left over for a LIFESTYLE.

    Now it must be nice to be a "warm and fuzzy" green but "warm and fuzzy" doesnt pay your way through the Real world.

    Lets see how you are going in 10 years time.

    After you enter the REAL world.

    Its all about LIFESTYLE.

    My dictionary defines green as ‘unripe, immature, undeveloped'. Perfect description.

    Most political parties are seen as interested in what the voters think, the Greens are seen as thinking the community should be interested in what they think.

    Dear Atriplex

    Stop it!!! Stop it. Like Timiboy, you are killing me.

    I can believe you really are a young man, aged 18. You just don't get it do you?

    I mean this is the nicest way, the point is NOT about your teacher, her being a female, being at the forefront or having a real job. Worldly experience will help you with a true grasp of this.

    It's OK to put this thread 'on hold' for another 10 to 20 years before revisiting it. The same stuff, only with different words and characters, will still be there. It really will.

    I appreciate your help but as far as I can tell I've already entered the real world. As for being a "warm and fuzzy" green; my dad could be described as that. And, I'm sure his had far greater success than a lot of "cold and hard" realists like yourself.

    You're deluded if you think you can't be successful without being absurdly selfish. You just have to work hard and show a it of care. Ask the next successful person that you meet.

    I do. Every time I look in the mirror.




    Do you frequent internet game sites and call anyone who doesnt agree with you "gay" do you.
    The attitude is the same.

    Whose world???
    Your world??
    Your drama teacher's world??
    Your parent's world??
    The world portrayed by the media??
    or by the one eyed zealots that run greenpeace??

    Unfortunately Tripster, your world consists of so many pre- conceptions derived from the circle of people that surround you and you choose to listen to ,that you have yet to experience many realities at all...

    To me your reality sounds like that of a spoilt middle class kid who thinks he already knows everything.

    How sadly mistaken you are ..what an incredibly narrow minded individual you are for one of such a young age.

    Your not one to talk about attitudes:

    "Greens are very intelligent people.
    Its just that they dont have a brain between them."

    That's ridiculous.

    OK guys, he's just a kid. Time to leave AXXX alone with his fantasies. I think we have as much chance of convincing him as he has of convincing us. The real world will sort him out (unless he gets a Government job - I said real world). Give it 10 years.

    Cheers,

    I think you're right.

    Food for thought: believe it or not I'm actually a member of a few other fishing websites. Most notably fishnet.com (I recommend the forum as a supplement to Ausfish). It's a great forum very similar to this one; you can learn lots about fishing very quickly. There's not a very big difference between the two forums except Ausfish seems to be dominated by Queenslanders; and fishnet seems to be dominated by Victorians.

    It's interesting to see how different the two groups are. At fishnet if you said anything that is not supported by science you'd be proved wrong; with scientific evidence. If you say something on this forum that is supported by scientific evidence and simple logic; some people will agree with your point and others will disagree and say otherwise until they get frustrated.

    It's been an interesting debate.

    P.S. most of the people at my school share similar views to me, with regard to the environment.

    P.S.S. I'm not saying that Victorians are better than Queenslanders. Rather a Victorian style website is politically quite different to a Queensland style one.

    Re: The Green's policy towards fishing

    I think your objectivity is failing you now Atrip - I'm admittedly a parochial Queenslander (and by most criteria pretty green), but I must say I stopped frequenting the fishnet site years ago because of the predominance of biggotted redneck views on a whole range of issues ranging from protected areas to climate change and the merits of trout versus natives - glad to hear its changed, I'll have to have another look.

    BTW most of the people debating with you hear are not Queenslanders - also if you look at posts by some of the key moderators and site owners / managers i.e. people like Fitzy you'll generally find a fairly balanced view IMO when it comes to issues of nature conservation.

    To get a more balanced appreciation of how conservation debates run on this site I'd suggest looking at some of the posts I've done on such issues (search my name) as teh Traveston Dam - sur ethere are a few familiar sh**t stirers - but my general appreciation is that the silent majority on this site are actually quite green - maybe I'm delusional?

    Having said all that I support you in the debate you've been running under this post and admire your tenacity - keep it up young fella the world needs a lot more like you to come on line.

    Re: The Green's policy towards fishing

    yeah trips..just follow all the greens on their merry journey of hypocrisy..where Govts even legislate that (so called) green house gases be used and imported freely and used by people who have no knowledge about it..and you wonder why I am cynical and do not follow any green rationale.

    And Jim..there are also the "grren" stirrers who will not concede a thing that the green movement has stuffed up.

    But then again I am just a redneck s***t stirrer..and damn proud of it.

    Thank you. Yeah, I wasn't fully sure about how many Queenslanders there are on this site; I just got an impression there were a lot.

    I had a look at "A new dam on the Mary," that was great especially your comments Jim. It seemed that most people agreed with you, expect PinHead the perennial loser (and he's proud of it???).

    Like the amount of Queenslanders on the site I may have been mislead a bit. But I don't see why the Greens or other organisations that are devoted to conversation aren't supported vocally. It's a shame really because if everyone who truly cared about our environment were more vocal other people might wake up to themselves.

    Thanks for your support.
