But only if you buy the $20 recycled paper plates and environmentally friendly free trade coffee, and do it making less than $10000 a year.

The thing is, folks making less than $10,000 a year are not rich enough to buy those inflated items.

I should have kicked off at 4.7 years. Feh, at least I'd miss kindergarten.

It says I can live FOREVER!!! (No mention of Jesus though...)
Plus, you can’t even read half the answers on the pages - and some scientist put this together???

Seriously though, this is HORRIBLE, particularly cause the developers most likely thought of it as a “fun” way to teach about the environment. Like you said - a Culture of Death.

I’d have to double-check to be sure, but ABC in Australia is the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (Company?). A major media news conglomerate “down under”. I think the .au is just a designation as to where the site is hosted, not an official government domain name like .gov is here in the US.

ROFLMAO! That is just TOO funny. I’m thinking now about what a great ham you would make - and tons of bacon, too! LOL So, can you make it for Easter Dinner next year? ;) Love the devil eyes and the fangs as well. Just completes the picture! It actually reminds me of the PETA fishing comic.

Looks like I need to use Internet Explorer to see all the answers available... :)

Why, how special. They’re so nice to provide such wonderful propaganda to fill and shape those little skulls full of mush. I can’t properly say here what I would like to do with these enviro-whackos... but I recall a Dilbert cartoon I just saw again (it’s an older one) where Dogbert is extolling the virtues of his “green” power generation, done with the help of the environmentalists... and the next panel showing two guys with an environmentalist wrapped in some sort of blanket, getting ready to get thrown in the furnace...

Something like that would surely cut down on their numbers and MIGHT even shut them up for good!

I have no idea who Gaia is so I guess I never have to die.

The Australian Broadcasting Corporation is government owned (and taxpayer funded - it's slogan is "It's Your ABC") but that doesn't mean the ABC reflects Australian government policy in any way, shape, or form. It is, by deliberate design, highly independent of government, especially editorially.

Overall, it tends to be pretty left wing - and very critical of conservatism.

But it's also the best place in Australia to find high quality broadcasting of the arts, of documentaries, and programs that would be unlikely to enjoy success on totally commercial networks.

Thank you. I wasn’t aware that they were gov’t owned. You’re right that they are definitely left-leaning, but I’ve occasionally read a few good articles there - not many, but a few from a more conservative point.

So, what you are describing basically is like our PBS, except with their own news coverage as well... I know the ABC also has radio programs and such.

Interesting though, as I said, thanks for the info. :)

thanks for the ping, against my better judgement I answered the questions and discovered I had outlived my usefulness as a human being by the time I reached 11 years of age...however, as the questions were obviously set by some human-hating nut case, I’m surprised I managed to ‘live’ that long.

The ‘professor’ would surely like to see humanity exterminated like the rodents he/she obviously thinks we are.

The only way to achieve a long life in this test, from what I can see, is to walk to work, live in a small shed shared with an entire extended family, eat nothing but vegetables grown with cow or horse manure, and never get on an aircraft...

Of course, without industry or tourism we wouldn’t be able to support the ‘professor’ who receives his renumeration from the government, so happily for us all, he/she has just made themselves totally redundant...

The image of the big fat pig blowing up, actually applies more to the dumbsh*t who compiled the ‘test’ than it does to the rest of us, who are paying his/her salary.

It's pretty obvious where the cult of liberalism wants to take us. The pope was right when he called Western society a "culture of death."

This warmed-over Malthusianism is out-dated. Julian Simon put the overpopulation/scarcity myths to death a long time ago. News hasn't reached the intelligentsia yet, I guess. Or maybe this hysteria serves some other purpose...
