Why are they cutting the trees?
jamal, they did the same thing to a dozen of century old trees in dora. the trees were seperating the two ways on the highway (facing mercedes dealer).
result: not a fucking soul said a fucking word !!!!
some of my friends did not even notice the difference with or without the trees.
when the people is pathetically ignorant, stupid and lax, you shouldn't expect more from the government that is ruling it. fucking pathetic place.
I'm afraid it was too late when I saw that message ..
How did things go? Did the human wall save the poor good ol' trees?
And did you find the bright side of Green Peace, Jamal?
Greenpeace said they can't do anything because they have limited resources.
NewTV promised to show up though.
I'm not sure what happened, i wasn't able to make it (had to work then and been at work since).
It was raining hard this morning so i doubt the cutters showed up.
they did the same thing to a dozen of century old trees in dora.
Yes, and I hear they're gonna cut down the remaining ones...
