Environmentalists Gone Overboard

So finally I post an entry with text in it. Not my quiz results, or a video. Wow, what an accomplishment. Anyway, onto the subject...

Okay. I had a bad morning yesterday. First of all, I ranted half-sarcastically to my friend about how the environmentalist "hippie" group at my school shouldn't be posting some many papers on the walls and that no one cared about the facts they put on there. Then it just so happens that a butthurt environmentalist was listening in on me and indignantly said, "Well, I care about the environment." Secondly, my friend who sucks at athletics claims to have ran the mile run faster than me (she was probably blatantly lying -- everyone lies).

So more into detail. I'll tell you exactly why I was ranting to my friend.

Now, I have plausibly acceptable concern for the environment. I'm no naturalist, but I recycle and care about endangered species.

Right then. In my school is a certain environmentalist group called "BLEEPO." I won't tell you what it stands for because, first, I don't know what it stands for, and second, you would be able to figure out which middle school I go to. Anyway, this BLEEPO group that it was smart to post papers with fun facts on them about how we're killing off nature in the hallways about every five to ten feet. And one of the many things that suck about them are that they show pretty much the same facts. And they used so much paper that they're being hypocritical. And the argument, "they had to work to put them up" doesn't work either. Of course they had to work to put them up. But the thing is, they're still using a crapload of paper. I say that they should've put around two to three posters in which wing, rather than six or eight.

I'm also a bit pissed right now because that BLEEPO member actually took me seriously. I was being half-sarcastic when I made my comment. Some of the phrases such as "hippie" and "no one cares" were sarcastic, but the point of my comment wasn't. These days, you can't use sarcasm in a voice that doesn't sound gay unless you want people to take you seriously.
