When the impact of this news sinks in Virgin's stocks are going to take a dive...

(So sorry)

If they really had no self-interest, as you seem to suggest, then the sign they left in the Nazca site would have just read "Time for change-The future is renewable" without mentioning "Greenpeace" in huge letters. You can't be so naive as to think that Greenpeace simply advocates issues of climate change, anti-oil, deforestation, etc. Their brand thrives on those issues and it's what defines them. Just look at their track record of getting people's attention with publicity stunts... How is that not self-promotion? In marketing terms they are brilliant.

The sad thing about this recent stunt is that Greenpeace is getting a lot of publicity out of it. Their so-called apology to the Peruvian people was a joke. Here's a direct quote from their official apology: "We fully understand that this looks bad... we came across as careless and crass." Looks bad? We "came across as"? They are apologizing that they stained their own image. They are sorry that the world now sees them negatively. In other words, they are expressing that they are sorry for themselves.... How far up one's own ass must one's head be for them to write something like that in an apology to the people of a nation? It should have read "We have no words to express the shame we feel for having acted the way we did." But that would be too humble.

If they are really sorry to Peru they would take part of their operating budget for the next few years to pay for all reparations and maintenance costs of the Nazca site.

Yeah, I get it. Some people are upset with the decision.
But how does that justify looting and destroying other people's property?
How does one make the mental link between the decision of the jury and destroying other people's cars, stores, and public spaces?
Something in that culture has to really change.

In these situations everyone should just chill and take it easy. Clearly we don't need to let things spin out of control. I'm sure Zalman's lawyers can take the heat.

Well, usually rockets bound for ISIS explode upon impact... Oh, wait, the rocket was bound to the ISS. Nevermind.

Let people express whatever they want to say and whatever they believe in. Stop imposing your values as if you have the moral upper hand. Whatever moral high horse you are sitting on (be it on matters of human rights, religion, homosexuality, racism, misogyny, etc.) it's all make believe: it's just as illusory as the content you are fighting against.

And my boss will say what is my loss is always his gain
Despite all my rage I am still just Nicolas Cage

And so it begins...

You laugh now, but wait till they find a way to charge you for them un-cartridges...

Is it the Green Folium Signum? I need a Signum for my gems!

I agree. That's why it's a jam for the ladies and the superstars.

Let's just say the last jamming my friend experienced was... unpleasant.

That guy should be happy Google took the name he used for his obsolete language and just let it go at that. All his crying and whining is pathetic. He didn't make a copyright for it, why is he being such a little baby about it?

I have my suspicions that this initiative is being supported by boost mobile. only idiots would fall for it.
