Now I have heard everything!

Bolivia will draft a law proposed to the United Nations giving “Mother Earth”, which also includes many species of bugs rights on the same level as humans.

This bid by Bolivia is with the goal of having a law on the international level, just as it does in that country in the form of a domestic law to give protection to bugs, trees, and other natural things in that South American country.

The more stuff from the UN, the more irelevant it gets.

Tin foil hats in the U.N......

Sometimes I have to wonder who is really behind the UN....

I have to sound like a Tin Foil Hat wearing weirdo, but lately a lot of the crap that comes out of the UN sounds like stuff that would come out of the mouth PR person from Mars who wants to use insidious plots to take over the world.

To speak of something/someone having a 'right' is to implicitly deny the equal and opposite right of everyone else. That is, if I have a right to my property then you and everyone else do not have a right to walk off with my property.

So there is no such thing as 'expanding' rights - only shifting them around. To give 'mother earth' rights means, in practical terms, denying the rights of human beings.

Or we could rename the earth “Ego” (Marvel Comics reference).

How then is she going to pay for all the damage to the environment that she causes on her own?

“(they) exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator...” (Rom.1:25)

This indigenous Bolivian-based bull$hit doesn’t raise the status of the creation up —it only lowers the status of human beings down.

So if I step on an ant, I go to jail for murder. The Buddha would approve.

I don’t believe the existence of “Mother Earth” as ever been verified. How do we know it’s not “Father Earth”?

[mardi59]

There is no mother earth or mother nature, there is only Father God. The sooner these people get that the better off they will be.

[Towed_Jumper]

“Father Earth” would no doubt be considered sexist and misogynistic.

[VaRepublican]

then do we incarcerate a spider for biting?

[beelzepug]

I’m guessing that people in Bolivia, as in most of the 3rd world, have about the same rights as bugs anyway. What’s going to change there?

[Nonsense Unlimited]

So if they give the same rights as humans to all the plants and animals ... what are they going to eat?

[JimSEA]

Yeah, what happens when the spider eats the Fly?

[Signalman]

So if someone in Bolivia kills a fly, are they going to jail?

[Cyber Ninja]

I think we are already there.

A dung beetle is the leader of the free world.

[crosshairs]

When you’re Godless, you put bugs and trees on the same level as man.

[Scrambler Bob]

OK.

Now bedbugs will want gay marriage.

And abortion on demand.

What’s wrong with that?
