There is a lovely little box called "General Discussion" under the forums tab. I assume it was put there to keep non-kite related hippie crap like this out of this forum.
Just a thought...
How can you can that the enviroment is not important to Kiteboarding? And what makes it hippy??
Who is this naysayer called MatyJee ? Does he understand the importance of it all ?
Too much South Park mate, we're all hippies anyway, wether you like it or not.
Yaaaahhhhwwwwnnnnn....
Hey...... I want to see that cool clip with the guy called Tophat and the other dude flying into the trees, any one seen that?
Geez, you'd expect a bit more heart felt oringinality from a kid. She is just a smaller version of every other cliched, jaded, moralising seppo politician - no way could I make it through 6+ minutes of that kraap.
Find an original spin for keeriste sake!
JB obviously felt it was an important clip, lots of other people in the world have too check the views on that clip!
In the meantime, youse knockers can keep your head in the sand and pretend its business as usual, fine by me.
Its a forum, JB posted something of interest to anyone really alive and caring their own future and that of others.
Activism is how all change occurs, knockers are natural too, but will likely be some of the first to slip from the gene pool.
I read an interesting quote from Thoreau this morning - Beware of any endeavour that requires new clothes
I think that can apply to this insane race each year to release a new wizz bang kite, that you must have to really enjoy kiting - not.
09 kites in June/July 08 is insane and is part of the unsustainable consumerism and inevitably unsustainable and unprofitable business model.

But you're more than happy to keep running your business and support it. And I'm bad for knocking the kid's speach. Oh now I get it, sorry.
That's the last time I give you petrol money Mr Hoop, actually can't remember the last time....
I've been red thumbed. I feel so unclean.
) and seabreeze is not the place to post them all.
I cant remember you ever giving me petrol money beerbong. Is that your way of doing the right thing by the environment. If I'm not paying for it then it's not my fault the environment is stuffed. How do you sleep at night?
Funny amd wise comedian, and I agree with everything he says, however, I bet George does what he can to consume less and consume wise.
Gaia, a name given to our Earth, will take care of itself for sure. We have the choice to live in harmony with it, or for it to take care of the imbalances we create, which will likely involve the removal of a whole lot of us.
And why shouldn't an intelligent, sensitive young woman speak out about the incredibly hypocritical and selfish way that here elders/us regard her future.
What gave us the right to destroy the air and soil with pollutants, so that he generation and any future ones have an incredibly reduced quality of life?????
The one great power we all posess is CHOICE, so choose wisely.

And what do we lose if we allow for the worst scenario ?
What do we lose if we DON'T ??
As much as I agree with all she has to say, I find it lacks sincerity and seems contrived. Being that her father is Dr David Suzuki one of the worlds most outspoken environmentalists, the message would have had way more clout if it had come from little Sally who lives next door to you or me.
I'm sure I've heard mostly the same message from David Suzuki himself. Like I said, the message is good and I agree, but is this the sincere original thoughts of the little girl, or just another way for Dr Suzuki to get his message out there in a vain attempt for credibility?
I like what George Carlin says too, that makes the most sense to me!
Good winds,
