Greenpeace, an eco terrorist organization. Not to be taken seriously people.
Erm, I'm not a big fan of Greenpeace, but can't leave that comment unchallenged. Please tell me when Greenpeace have committed 'eco terrorism'?Quote:

LOL they must love F@H.
I bet you any money there are greenpeacers which own a console! :D
Arent sony helping the environment already, with the ps3 giving out so much heat we can all leave the central heating turned of, which means less gas or electric used. hahaha
You know doing anything they can, putting people in harms way to stop construction for drilling in oceans. Chasing down boats with their own to scare them off if greenpeace thinks they are doing something to "harm" the environment. Squatting in construction places that are to be worked on, or to be taken down, and putting people at risk to remove them forcibly. Or them sleeping and living in tree's in public places so they dont get cut down.Quote:

I left becuase they are just people who judge people without judging themself.
They ask questions without know a proven answer.
All they do is stri up problem and don't really have a good solusion.
A military friend of mine knew people who were on a ship that Greenpeace was buzzing with one of those little tiny boats. In high winds and choppy seas.
The little boat hit a couple of waves JUST wrong, flew up, and landed on the ship. Nearly killed a couple of people; if it had been a little off, it would have.
Sure, it's a freak accident, but responsible people do not go around playing games like that to begin with. Because accidents happen.
Anyway, this report is garbage; they gave Nintendo all zeroes based on not finding any particular data in a single post on a single blog. So far as anyone can tell, they did no research, and never even called Nintendo. So everywhere they say "Nintendo doesn't do X, but they should", it really means "no one from Nintendo guessed we were working on this, found our unlisted number, called us, and mentioned out of the blue that they were doing X."
Their reports on the others aren't exactly reliable data either.
Those people are nutjobs, and proud of it.
I think we should teabag 'em if we see them online :)
Greenpeace can take a flying leap!
I use my Ps3 for Folding@Home not that it's any of their bees wax!
Now if you excuse me I have to fill up the SUV and eat steaks!
I want to see this 90 second video of Kratos, Mario, and Master Chief comparing which console is more "Green"
HAHA.
News just in, the world isn't going to end because we use plastic bags, the argument that Greenpeace use to prove that we are all going to die is incredibly weak, its a shame how out of hand this has gotten.
"Leading mobile phone makers, including Motorola, LG, Sony Ericsson and Philips, have all implemented eco-design aspects into their production lines, including reducing the amount of hazardous substances used in their products."
", Sony Ericsson"
lol
thats interesting.
The video gaming industry is now worth upwards of 40 billion dollars per year. Greenpeace makes up some story about how a PS3 causes holes in the ozone layer, the 360 is melting glacier ice, or the Wii is killing animals. Now video gaming owes Greenpeace money to do good for the harm they have done to the environment. Its all about the mighty $$$$$$, or euro, or yen, or whatever.

I agree Greenpeace sucks, only the likes of the Sierra Club. Listen to Bill Wattenburg if you want to know.
I wonder how many greenpeace activists drive a car, own a house and use gas and electricity, bunch of hipocrites (sp).
If I ever feel bad about doing donuts in my brothers Camaro and using styrofoam cups, I just think of Greenpeace and the feeling just fades away.
see the video here. it's hilarious, but not in a hilarious way.
Please don't ruin gaming for me you green loving maniacs
They didn't give nentendo no rating, they gave them the worst possible rating for having no recyclable materials...Quote:

then the power ratings were the other way around so they are all even in the end.
