Survey: Kids Hate Earth But Love Videogames

[BloodRed Pixel]

"save the planet" is a totally stupid phraze

the planet will survive, even if it´s by extincting humantity.
what this BS really means is "save our life-styles".

I am not against eco. Just be true to yourself what you really mean!

 

[Harmondale2]

Emm? there kids, what do you expect?

Also whats with the missing percentages?

 

[JEBWrench]

Would you rather...

A) Play a fun video game

OR

B) Pick up trash on the side of the road.


Shockingly, most kids chose A. Those who chose B are currently on medication.

The public school systems are chock full of ridiculous mandatory problems desperately trying to convince kids that picking up other peoples' trash is more fun than anything else could ever be.

Apparently, they're not working!

Goddamn kids, clean up my lawn!

 

[reg42]

15% didn't even know what an endangered species was

Sorry, what?
That's just... stupid.
Unless they were the really young children, then it's pretty forgivable. This type of stuff should be specified.

 

[SextusMaximus]

They don't really 'hate' it, they just can't be bothered to do anything about it - neither can I, to be honest, because the sooner the Earth gets screwed the sooner we can go to space!

I like your thinking, sir!

OT: I don't like Earth either.

Hearing about golbal warming and the reliance on fossil fuels scared me shitless as a child.

 

[L-J-F]

Lol, and they laughed when I said the zombie apocalypse had already begun XD

 

[JourneyThroughHell]

Next on "Airbus Bio-Index": Kids seem to be more interested in chatting with their friends than in the political situation in their country.
Gee whiz, this is all so shocking.

 

[JoshGod]

what surprises me is that people seem surprised by the results.

 

[Sixties Spidey]

They're doing the right thing. The green movement is full of shit.

What's the earth done for me? Video games have taught me lots.

Yeah! stupid survey.

OT: i dont feel a strong connection to the enviroment, but i cant stand to watch animals die so i save them whenever i can.

To be honest, no matter how much plebeians do, it will never be as much as what the Governments of the world can do. Instead of living like hippies and never using any resource ever, people should let their governments know that they want more
environment-friendly policies. And they shouldn't do it with partisan politics. A Conservative can do just as much for the environment as a Green, just tell them that it's what you want.

Yeah! stupid survey.

OT: i dont feel a strong connection to the enviroment, but i cant stand to watch animals die so i save them whenever i can.

I sort of agree with that last part. Just insert "slowly and painfully" after die, and replace "save them whenever I can" with "put them out of their misery if I do".

 

[IrrelevantTangent]

Well, this is depressing. Video games are fun, no one can argue with that, but even if the kids are young, they have to grow up eventually, and when they do...well, let's just hope they'll be more inclined to try and do what they can to stop global warming.

 

[Stormz]

Humans are already fucked, we're greedy, stupid and we never learn from our mistakes. It's only natural this would be the result. Granted they are kids but if you don't care about the environment or even know what an extinct animal is by the time you're 18 we have no hope. I truly believe we're going to destroy this planet and if we find another planet someday we'll destroy that one too. Just like parasites.

 

[Keesor]

OH COME ON!!

This is not even a real contest. First of all, kids jobs are to grow up and learn. Yes saving the environment is an important issue but kid shouldn't be burden with this task until they can at least vote. Secondly the environment doesn't need kids to save it, that responsibility should fall squarely on their parents shoulders. As teachers parents should inspire there children to be inquisitive about the world around them and follow a moral doctrine as dictated by their own parents. If anything a child's mind isn't ready to tackle the complex task as saving the environment. It's more adept to saving princess Zelda or Peach. if anything video games is a excellent stepping stone into larger issue and empowers children to think along the line of "Yes I do have an impact.", & "Yes I can change the world."

This is the part of the story where I fall off the soapbox. Thud!
