On religion:
Satan believes in God. Nobody in our religion belives in CLVLND.
On the environment:
I like trees, they're pretty.

You don't enjoy talking about how pretty trees are?

Trees are very pretty. Trees are more valuable than people. Yeah, you heard right worlin. Trees are more important than people. What are you going to do about it, huh?

I wouldn't go that far.
I like trees, but if I had to choose between saving a tree and my worst enemy, the tree would go.

(shh. That's my insane worlin rant call. Support librals, the environment, tolerance, etc... and worlin usually comes yelling something about postmodernism or proccesorialwholism/reductionism, no matter how little part it actually plays ;D.)

Postredutionalmodernwholism has nothing to do with whether trees are pretty or not.
Well it does, but it doesn't.

It doesn't. It's just a matter of undeniable fact that trees are intrincically stupid.

Based off of that argument, you want to choke to death, because of a lack of oxygen?

Yes only at night. But during the day they do not. At night most humans sleep. We don't need as much oxygen when we sleep than when we are awake.

Acutally, a mature forest consumes exactly as much oxygen as it produces. Most of our oxygen comes from the ocean and the only forests that actually produce a net amount of oxygen are those that are periodically clearcut for lumber or paper etc.
It is for these and other reasons that I believe we can fight to protect trees only for their intrinsic worth, that they are beautiful, and not for some extrinsic reason such as oxygen. This is actually the only stable policy, because while extrinsic worth may vary with time intrinsic worth is inherent and therefore does not vary with time.
Finally, BC doesn't breath oxygen so why would he care?

Yes, but I would be tempted to ask the same of you. From the clearly non-intellecutal bent of you're arguments I would have to guess the only real basis for your beliefs you possess is that your parents/friends/someone was an environmentalist who you respect so you're copying them without acutally rationally preparing yourself to defend your position thereby allowing idiots like BC to take advantage of the fact that you know nothing and making those people who really know something and can defend it look like idiots by association.

...They can't defend intrisic worth, not in and of itself.
Hey, Logan, if someone is a postmodernistic funtionalist yet believes in saving the whales aren't they contridicting themselves?

Postmodernism is inherently contradictory to begin with, remember. Adding folly to madness is mere childs play for people like this.

Does this mean you think my theory is not entirely stupid?  |

Actually, I do think it is entirely stupid.
Trying to talk sense with someone who is clearly an idiot is a waste of time, money and incredibly stupid.
