UN treaty will give plants and animals the same rights as humans

[rambone]

Bolivia is drafting a United Nations treaty that will give "Mother Nature" the same rights as a person. The U.N. has always bastardized the definition of a "right", and this treaty is no exception. This is taking environmentalism to a whole new level.

I had to look to see if it was dated April 1st. It's not, so I guess there really are whacked out nutjobs running things at the UN. Whoda thunk it?

Just something else for the UN to tack onto Agenda 21.

 

[J man]

Does that mean we can start euthenizing (sp?) people now?

if mother nature and people are the same, does this mean we can burn the homeless for heat?

So I guess the marijuana holocaust will end right away, right?

Setting it on fire would be attempted murder though...this has to be a joke.

Makes me think of an old twilight zone episode where they were selling a weight loss product. It was simply a pair of glasses. When you put them on it allowed you to see (and hear?) that the food you were were about to eat was actually alive and would scream etc. when you cut it. Made you feel like a murderer to eat and you lost weight. Creepy because I was a young kid at the time. Makes perfect sense now that Mother Nature "is like a person."

Really? I love the TZ! I've got Seasons 1-3 and have seen most of 5. I don't recall this episode though. Do you remember what season it was from? I'd love to check it out.

OH Crap!!!! I just burned 6 acres of pasture, I bet I damaged millions of plants and animals.....Do they call that plantacide and animalcide>

I know I killed thousands of ticks!!!!

 

[indykid]

I mowed my lawn today! Would this treaty make lawn mowing illegal? I also sprayed some weeds!!! Does that make me a mass murderer???

If we tore down the UN building in New York, does anyone think they will get the hint?

Not funny. You both committed serious crimes. I hope, for your sake, that Bolivia doesn't march up here and haul you guys off for crimes against the Earth.

Does this mean I can not behead my yard anymore?

 

[A5guy]

It's about Goddamned time! I'll never mow my lawn again!
