so this turtle is too stupid not to disregard a straw and gets one implanted up its nose, and now I have to suffer the crappy "paper" straws and/or dangerous, life-threatening "metal" straws?

wtf is this world coming to when ONE turtle can have this much power over us?

it's not necessarily the turtle, but facebook. facebook widely circulated this video, i think, in an experiment to see how they could affect policy making through social media. they showed this ONE sad story to a bunch of dumb saps and now every well meaning moron is fully on board with something so absurd as banning straws. it was honestly super effective.

I think that you are underestimating how stupid the average person is. People cannot be trusted to do ANYTHING, especially something that might inconvenience them slightly, like recycling or simply not littering. This is why we cannot have nice things.

dunno why it's so unbelievable that people cared about a distressed animal. it's not new and there are plenty of instances of people working together to help one. if not using straws prevents something like that in the video, most people see it as a minor inconvenience to prevent something worse from happening.

dunno why so many people are against it and trying to come up with bizarre explanations for it like this. do you feel guilty because you don't want to stop, so you think nobody else can really care either?

we're literally living an idiocracy, where things only matter weighted by the emotions they produce. it's not like all the other oneway plastic trash is any less harmfull, nor are we actively fighting the causes of polution of the ocean which made this possible to happen to this poor turtle. no we are banning plastic straws all of a sudden because some sad video appeared and out of the blue it hit's the people that all that trash they produce has side effects. oh noe, right they arent able to think it that far, they see a plastic straw in the video and this is now the root of all evil. well lets just ban the straws, lmao

we're was the sympathy before? it's not actually a new concept how the plastic trash is destroying the sea, but now muh sad sad video, muh poor turtle, and all the reaction coming from it is a banning of fucking straws, only because those were depicted in this very video, how many seaturtles die on straws? is it significant to the ones dying on other plastic trash? has it any relevance? no but that video showed it, so the brainlet furor leads to a ban of straws and now all problems are settled for those fucking braindead mongrels
there is no sympathy they just want the social media clout and the good feeling of having something accomplished, while accomplishing nothing

I'd like to see statistical instances of straws specifically getting stuck in sea turtle noses. There is one documented case, ever, in the history of the planet. Logically, that should have absolutely no bearing on any laws regarding food whatsoever.

I'm not addicted to fuckin straws over here bud, I'm the most environmentally conscious person I know. I'm all for normies finally giving a fuck about the planet but there are literally thousands of infinitely more pressing issues. Is anyone going to go after india, china, and other small countries where they throw their trash directly into waterways and make no effort whatsoever to clean up after themselves?

It's not a bizzare explanation at all to think that facebook is trying their hand and swaying public opinion, it's clear that they do this repeatedly. you've got your head deeply embedded in your ass if you really think that banning straws will make a lick of difference in this world. you're beyond stupid

[Anonymous No.13113120]

The problem with the grand improbable gestures that'd have the best chance at unfucking things is that they're improbable. Also the biggest pollutors own politicians so unless you're willing to be the one to start sending bullets into scumbag CEOs you may as well get on board with anything that may help. It's like taking apart the NFA. You don't just do it in one big swoop, you go after the Hughes amendment and length restrictions and suppressor restrictions. Giving up entirely because you're not getting everything right from the outset or even in the foreseeable future is ass backwards especially if you make yourself part of the problem and deride any progress.

as this 'online' is the modern forum romanum and i am talking of the consciousness of the masses, and not of one environmentalnut, yes 'nobody' (as in an absolute minority) cared for that problem

>how is it nothing
how is it something, if it wont actually change anything? it's such a minor percentage of plastic waste, and the countries banning them arent even the ones at fault for the significant pollution, that it will have no effect whatsoever

im not saying unban them, but that wont change anything at all. we need active repercussion on any pollution done by third world countries, which are the ones at fault here

Anyone with half a brain knows that the actual environmental threat is microplastic pollution in the water and sea. Carbon emissions aren't really doing anything. The straw thing tangentially helps that, literally a drop of water in the desert though. I dunno why autistic children are reeing about carbon when China is outright dumping plastic waste in the sea.

Bro, you accuse a turtle of being dumb because it is harmed by a straw before complaining metal straws are dangerous. Surely you can connect the dots and see that straws can be harmful when discarded or used improperly? Anyway, when I was in high school I saw a concert that used plastic bottles made from corn because they'd more readily degrade. The plastic seemed sturdy, could they not be used instead and buried?
