Australian TV advises children to die early

I couldn't believe this when I first read it, but its true. The state sponsored

Australian Broadcasting Corporation has a website for young children

encouraging them to die early. Based upon their carbon outputs it calculates

what age a child should die at. I have not read the entire article, because I

wanted to get it up here first. First in Australia and coming soon the U.S. and

Canada, what a nightmare. Here is the link. www.theregister.co.uk...

I wouldnt take this too seriously, its sort of like a joke on behalf of the creators of it. Its strange because it doesnt seem to target kids, with the questions.....like how would a kid now how much money they spent in a year, or how would a kid know the fuel economy of a car or even how many km's they flew in the last year.

Anyway according to the test I shouldve died at 20.6, lol

Wow. That managed to offend all of my major sensibilities. I'm supposed to die at 25. so I got another five years apparently. Heh. No thanks.
It's apparent these fellow have little care for the new technologies coming out over the next few years to both be environ friendly and either improve, or at least keep the same comfort level associated with tech.
Oh yeah. And let's let the cows run free. Let's see how long it takes for them to eat themselves to starvation.

I had wanted to visit that nation, but I may now need to revise my plans. It would seem that I have long outlived my carbon creditworthyness by decades.

I wonder if this is to be the basis for a new tax? Pay up or die!

If Australian environmentalists, are anything like American environmentalists it is not a joke. Most our environmentalists are actually eugenicists, and they know for a fact that they are better than most of humanity. In truth ,most environmentalists are hardly human at all. They have very large heads ,but civilization is not the result of their kind. Without the real humans, they will revert back to being miserable cave dwellers.

I would take this very seriously. For the moment it is mostly an idea in

people's minds, but soon it will affect their daily lives. Those of us that are

of a certain age have a greater likelihood of seeing through this, however

young impressionable minds will take this propaganda and eat it up. I just

got back from a trip to the Northwest and I saw first hand what this Green

Living idea has done to many people's minds. The children are now being

taught that they should sacrifice themselves for the good of the planet.

Insanity, pure insanity
