    i'm just not into the complainer culture one bit.

    to be the change you want to see in this world is of way higher virtue then complaining about what is wrong with the world and/or demanding change of others. i wonder how many people drove gas fueled cars to the protests today in which they protested carbon emissions (climate change). how many of them ate meat today? used single-use plastics? i mean if you're part of the problem then why not just protest against yourself? if you want to enlighten us, why not fix the world through your own actions and show us rather than tell us? some kids out there are actually creating solutions to our plastics problems, our water problems, our carbon issues, etc.. yet many kids out there are just complaining and demanding action of others and it appears society puts these kids in the spotlight as if they're actually changing things..

    • Not many people are in positions to pause on life and pursue these things. Not many at all.monospaced
    • Many people are doing just a little to try to not be as much of the problem, but there’s no escaping it. Kinda rough to criticize them for it no?monospaced
    • I mean, shit. Even using a cell phone is contributing to the carbon problem. So when someone fights for a cause, maybe don’t be so hard on them k?monospaced
    • Bliz isn't saying that they're not doing enough, only that their level of whining is incongruous to their behaviourGnash
    • I see. I suppose the complaining is toward those people in the world that DO have the ability to change things. The 1% and top corps for example.monospaced
    • If people didn’t complain, there would likely be little progress toward progress and change. Can’t really be mad at them for at least speaking up.monospaced
    • It is, after all, quite impossible to detach from being the issue completely. Anyway. Carry on, this was a fun complaint to read from a hypocrite.monospaced
    • thanks IRN. mono responded 6 times but didn’t make 1 valid pointbliznutty
    • Whole Lotta adults complaint and whine as well. Just look at Qbn.pango
    • I most definitely made a point. And you’re complaining.monospaced
    • i honestly don't see anything wrong w/ the strike in and of itself.. it's the attitude that mono expresses how change is in the 1%, corporations, or adults.bliznutty
    • the message that would create the most change should be one of individual sacrifice for the greater good and the affect consumers have on what producers producebliznutty
    • Sure. But that isn’t a possibility for most people. Including you.monospaced
    • My POINT is that. So it doesn’t make sense to criticize them for what they cannot do. Or what you cannot do.monospaced
    • mono.. you’re arguing for the sake of arguing. a good example of individual sacrifice is to go vegan, limit your use of plastics, etc.. is this hard for you?bliznutty
    • mono > blizscruffics
    • Vegans are the loudest whining complainers of anyone! Oh, and going vegan IS NOT good for the planet.monospaced
    • curious... whats your counter for vegan's argument? i not vegan or vegetarian. heck i dont even eat healthier than most of you. just curious.pango
