The calm and measured response to the bushfire crises from the forums lunatic fringe as they run around like headless chooks with their pants on fire!

"QUICK!.... cut down all the trees...WAIT!... hang all the greenies from the trees....NO! on second thoughts hang Al Gore from the greenies! BRILLIANT IDEA! declare the MCG car park a national park, cut down all the gum trees in the MCG national park after hanging Al Gore and the greenies!

I have found the guilty party in all this! Gum trees, plumb trees, sheep, kangaroos and rocking chairs. Lock this bloke up, he's a tree loving nutter!

Paul1405,

How about

They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot
With a pink hotel, a boutique
And a swinging hot spot
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And put up a parking lot

They took all the trees
And put them in a tree museum
And they charged all the people
A dollar and a half to see 'em
Don't it always seem to go
That you don't know what you've got
'Till it's gone
They paved paradise
And they put up a parking lot

I think Joni Mitchell really had Barnaby 'Nutty as a fruit cake' Joyce and Soot 'Beam up me Scotty' Morrison in mind when she wrote this little number.

Hi Mr O Just for the lads; 'Big Yellow Taxi' Joni Mitchell. Do you have sound?

BTW good book.

Paul,

So cutting down all the trees is your only alternative solution ? Either - or ? Either leave everything as it is for the cute, furry, little animals OR cut everything down ? Nothing in between ?

So you have nothing positive to offer ? In that case, .......

So what's the bill for all of this avoidable death and destruction ? Five billion ? Ten billion ? Whose door do we lay it at ?

Joe

Can someone please tell me how old these two boof-heads are?
Yes Paul and Mr O.
Fellas please, throw some mud around, by all means, (only some), but please can we keep it a little more serious or mature.
If I'm going to abuse you I will do it then move on, but these constant, childish jibes and quips are getting boorish and quite frankly, pointless.
So come on guys, if your going to have a go do it like men, not like a snivelling, spoilt brat of a 5 year old.
Now, you were saying?

Altrav,

That sort of response usually indicates that the perpetrators have nothing else to say and they know that their case is very flimsy, to the point of bankruptcy.

So we should welcome such feeble attempts to dodge the real issues. It's all they've got.

Cheers,

Joe
