Of Course I Would Combine Pokemon and the Rapture
My thoughts on the recent non-Rapture have been documented in my post an hour ago, so I’ll just play with this a bit more.
“GOD used GLOBAL WARMING”
“EARTH is confused!”
“EARTH hurt itself in the confusion!”
“EARTH used LOGIC!”
“It’s super effective!”
“GOD fainted!”
Did I just commit sacrilege using Pokemon terminology? Whoops.
More Unreal Posts
edit:
Al Gore used “Global Warming”
But nothing happened!!
Shut up Brendan. You’ll be the first to drown when you’re on a vacation on one of the islands in Oceania and the shit hits the van.
Good one, Paul. This site could even use slightly bit more sacrilige from time to time, if you ask me;) Talking about logic, a hefty dose of that would be very, very healthy for EARTH. It’s inhabitants I mean though, not the rocky planet.
Fun fact: I don’t actually believe in Global Warming. At least not the catastrophic Al Gore/Day After Tomorrow kind. But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try to be eco-friendly and shit.
I don’t get the whole logic thing. Even if people are wrong about religion, why should we do anything to convince them they’re wrong? If it makes them happy, it doesn’t matter if it’s true or not. Then you’re just being mean.
Lol, even the most modest estimations on the effects of global warming don’t occur until everyone who predicted it and read the initial prediction, are long dead.
You won’t catch me driving a Prius or a ‘smart car’(there are like 50 of them in Ann Arbor, I would fear for my life in one) but I also don’t buy/use plastic water bottles or litter. I don’t need fake global repercussions to inspire me to not shit where I sleep so to say. When I’m turning lights off in my house it’s because I don’t want a huge electric bill not because of some boogeyman university researchers and Al Gore invented to bank some buck. It just pisses me off when people act smug or try to force their beliefs on me. No different than vegetarians or zealous protestants.
the joke would’ve made more sense if instead of God you would’ve used the preacher that actually said the Rapture was coming, in that vein Logic made more sense to discredit him (since he had made the same threat back in 1994)
and to nit pick the Pokemon joke…how could God attack twice in a row?…was Earth paralyzed or something?…
I’m supposed to be working now and I’m fanboying to a Pokemon joke…dear God…
From Earth Day 1970(Found this too revealing, not to post)
• “We have about five more years at the outside to do something.” Kenneth Watt, ecologist
• “Civilization will end within 15 or 30 years unless immediate action is taken against problems facing mankind.” George Wald, Harvard Biologist
• “We are in an environmental crisis which threatens the survival of this nation, and of the world as a suitable place of human habitation.” Barry Commoner, Washington University biologist
• “Man must stop pollution and conserve his resources, not merely to enhance existence but to save the race from intolerable deterioration and possible extinction.” New York Times editorial, the day after the first Earth Day
• “Population will inevitably and completely outstrip whatever small increases in food supplies we make. The death rate will increase until at least 100-200 million people per year will be starving to death during the next ten years.” Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
• “By [1975] some experts feel that food shortages will have escalated the present level of world hunger and starvation into famines of unbelievable proportions. Other experts, more optimistic, think the ultimate food-population collision will not occur until the decade of the 1980s.” Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
• “It is already too late to avoid mass starvation.” Denis Hayes, chief organizer for Earth Day
• “Demographers agree almost unanimously on the following grim timetable: by 1975 widespread famines will begin in India; these will spread by 1990 to include all of India, Pakistan, China and the Near East, Africa. By the year 2000, or conceivably sooner, South and Central America will exist under famine conditions….By the year 2000, thirty years from now, the entire world, with the exception of Western Europe, North America, and Australia, will be in famine.” Peter Gunter, professor, North Texas State University
• “Scientists have solid experimental and theoretical evidence to support…the following predictions: In a decade, urban dwellers will have to wear gas masks to survive air pollution…by 1985 air pollution will have reduced the amount of sunlight reaching earth by one half…” Life Magazine, January 1970
• “At the present rate of nitrogen buildup, it’s only a matter of time before light will be filtered out of the atmosphere and none of our land will be usable.” Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
• “Air pollution…is certainly going to take hundreds of thousands of lives in the next few years alone.” Paul Ehrlich, Stanford University biologist
• “We are prospecting for the very last of our resources and using up the nonrenewable things many times faster than we are finding new ones.” Martin Litton, Sierra Club director
• “By the year 2000, if present trends continue, we will be using up crude oil at such a rate…that there won’t be any more crude oil. You’ll drive up to the pump and say, `Fill ‘er up, buddy,’ and he’ll say, `I am very sorry, there isn’t any.’” Kenneth Watt, Ecologist
• “Dr. S. Dillon Ripley, secretary of the Smithsonian Institute, believes that in 25 years, somewhere between 75 and 80 percent of all the species of living animals will be extinct.” Sen. Gaylord Nelson
• “The world has been chilling sharply for about twenty years. If present trends continue, the world will be about four degrees colder for the global mean temperature in 1990, but eleven degrees colder in the year 2000. This is about twice what it would take to put us into an ice age.” Kenneth Watt, Ecologist

@Brandon
Great that you try to keep the trash rather low than high.
I agree with you that it’s quite possible that if global warming has negative effects, we won’t get the worst of it, it’s the later generations that are really going to get fucked. However, isn’t that incredibly fucking selfish? I mean, I myself are planning to never have kids, because of a very hereditary disease in my family, and because I would consider it a big dick move and actual child abuse to burden any possible children with that illness. But I nonetheless care about the future generations, and don’t want to leave them a planet that is fucked up for humans to live on because of global warming. And I don’t care it that doesn’t constitutes as the area where I am currently living. I just don’t want to be fucking selfish.
