Some of these I found really funny, others I found really frightening (not because I think they're true, but because some of these people have large influence).

Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed. -- Pentti Linkola

Let’s start with Pentti Linkola and then review our results to that point.

[Black Agnes]

Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby

She has it backwards...turning OUT the lights can lead to making babies...(with brains, natch!)

eco-wacko quotes ping!

[Grampa Dave]

Thanks, I have bookmarked this.

These remarks are the reality of these hate filled Watermelon Green Jihadists.

They hate humans, America and capitalism. They work 24/7 to destroy life, America and capitalism.

These Watermelon Gree Jihadists are far more dangerous to our lives than the al Qaeda thugs.

[VRW Conspirator]

These quotes represent a clear and present danger. Unbelievable!!!

Everything we have developed over the last 100 years should be destroyed

Is it not natural that the anti-human Gaea whackos will link up or cooperate with apocalytic Islamist whackos? Perhaps fortuyn's assassin was a first sign.

[Quix]

Maybe some people need a license to carry their excuse for a brain.

[brbethke]

bump to read later -- this looks hilarious!

[PsyOp]

bump.

Cannibalism is a "radical but realistic solution to the problem of overpopulation." -- Lyall Watson, The Financial Times, 15 July 1995

Eat yourself, you idiot.

[serinde]

We must reclaim the roads and plowed land...

And just where are you going to grow the plants you like to eat? Oh, that's right - you think that humans starving to death is great!

Phasing out the human race will solve every problem on earth, social and environmental.

Yep, I'm sure all the rabbits (and other critters) eaten by wolves (and other predators) will agree that all their problems will be solved with no humans around. Won't they have so much fun!

I agree - these statements would be funny if they weren't so scary.

[Salman]

A great piece, but there's one thing I take issue with (though it's not just you or the author of this article).

Attack Of The Socialist-Luddites...

The original Luddites were not socialists, nor were they motivated by some general anti-technology ideology. They were simply folks being put out of work by automation. They may have been totally wrong in what they tried to do, but they were in no way equivalent to the sort of modern day people accused of being "Luddites".

[Gritty]

This is just one more example that being "earnest" does not mean being "right"!

[boris]

"Every time you turn on an electric light, you are making another brainless baby -- Helen Caldicott, Union of Concerned Scientists"

She was one of them.

One correction: whenever the name of this group is mentioned it must be placed in 'scare quotes' thusly:

The "Union" of "Concerned" "Scientists". They are not scientists, nor are they a union, nor are they "concerned" about anything but promoting Luddism.

"If we are vandals, so were those who destroyed forever the gas chambers of Buchenwald or Auschwitz." -Alberta (CA) Report, May 14, 2001: ELF's North American spokesman, Craig Rosebraugh

"Monkeywrenching, (unlawful sabotage of industrial extraction/development equipment and infrastructure) is not mindless – targets are carefully picked for their strategic value." - Earth First

"…To begin with, we do not believe that it is enough to preserve some of our remaining wilderness. We need to preserve it all, and it is time to recreate vast areas of wilderness in all the planet's ecosystems: identify key areas, close roads, remove developments, and reintroduce extirpated wildlife." - Earth First

"…It is not enough to oppose the construction of new dams. It is time to free our shackled rivers and tear down Hetch Hetchy, Glen Canyon, New Melones, Tellico and other concrete monstrosities." -Earth First

"…Earth First!ers also use confrontation, guerrilla theater, direct action and civil disobedience to fight for wild places and life processes. " - Earth First

"…Furthermore, the whole economy of industrial affluence (and poverty) must give way to a hunter-gatherer way of life, which is the only economy compatible with a healthy land." Ann Thropy–Earth First! (1987)

"For their lives, we lay down our own." - Animal Liberation Front

[PeaceBeWithYou]

"No matter if the science is all phony, there are collateral environmental benefits…. climate change [provides] the greatest chance to bring about justice and equality in the world." - Christine Stewart, Canadian Environment Minister, Calgary Herald, December 14, 1998

"The answer to global warming is in the abolition of private property and production for human need. A socialist world would place an enormous priority an alternative energy sources. This is what ecologically-minded socialists have been exploring for quite some time now." - Louis Proyect, Columbia University

"They have cheated the case and I am angry about that, because that will come to our account. They use bad data, as well as for the Brent Spar as for the French nuclear tests. I am against nuclear tests, but one should use scientifical sound arguments…. No, Greenpeace has harmed the environmental case." - Paul Crutzen, Nobel Prize winner for his work on the ozone layer, cancelled his Greenpeace membership

Bump for tomorrow! "Whackos" is too mild a term!

[TMD]

Perhaps they should check out this website

http://www.vhemt.org

VHEMT (pronounced vehement) is a movement not an organization. It's a movement advanced by people who care about life on planet Earth. We're not just a bunch of
misanthropes and anti-social, Malthusian misfits, taking morbid delight whenever disaster strikes humans. Nothing could be farther from the truth. Voluntary human
extinction is the humanitarian alternative to human disasters.

We don't carry on about how the human race has shown itself to be a greedy, amoral parasite on the once-healthy face of this planet. That type of negativity offers no
solution to the inexorable horrors which human activity is causing.

Rather, The Movement presents an encouraging alternative to the callous exploitation and wholesale destruction of the Earth's ecology.

As VHEMT Volunteers know, the hopeful alternative to the extinction of millions of species of plants and animals is the voluntary extinction of one species: Homo
sapiens... us.

Each time another one of us decides to not add another one of us to the burgeoning billions already squatting on this ravaged planet, another ray of hope shines
through the gloom.

When every human chooses to stop breeding, Earth's biosphere will be allowed to return to its former glory, and all remaining creatures will be free to live, die, evolve (if
they believe in evolution), and will perhaps pass away, as so many of Mother Nature's "experiments" have done throughout the eons. Good health will be restored to the
Earth's ecology... to the "life form" known by many as Gaia.

It's going to take all of us going.
