Apparently Nickelodeon wants to build an attraction in Palawan, Philippines . 

This might seem fun for some people, but for us it’s not. 

You see, Palawan is known for its non-commercialized islands and untouched beaches. There are only a few resorts in there, and the government limits tourism population there. Here are some pictures of our beautiful islands:

Nickelodeon, however, wants to capitalize the island of Coron, Palawan. They’re going to build a resort and theme park there. They claim that they want to “spread environmental awareness” but they’re really not. Building this resort will disrupt the marine ecosystem; thus destroying the environment there. Also, Palawan is our last ecological frontier in the Philippines. If they’re going to continue to do this, more and more big companies will cash-in to commercialize Palawan- and I really do not want that to happen.

I know petitions won’t do much, but at least we can prove a point that Palawan should not be disrupted. Please sign this petition, so that it will not only show that us Filipinxs don’t want this, but people from different countries as well. Please spread it around as well, so that people from different countries can be aware of what Nickelodeon is doing.

Gotta spread this myself. I’m Filipina and the conservation of home is incredibly important to me. Pollution is already a huge issue throughout the country’s cities. Many islands including Palawan are home to not just beautiful nature but some of the last of our untouched, uncolonized heritage.

wtf

[fuyusarah]

NO. PLEASE NO. I LEGIT CRIED WHEN I READ THE NEWS ARTICLE. The article is in a legit news network. It’s not fake. MY CHEST HURTS AND NOT IN A GOOD WAY. The developers say it won’t hurt the environment but artificial structures are artificial structures. PLEASE. PLEASE. NO.

I CAN ONLY HOPE THE PETITION IS GOING TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE. I SIGNED IT SO FAST.

EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT FILIPINO, PLEASE SIGNAL BOOST. PLEASE.

It’s like millennials do not understand that middle east has been at war for 1000′s of years. That we intervened on behalf of Kuwait. That without “bombing” people that want to kill and oppress others, millions will be murdered and tortured.

[mideast-nrthafrica-cntrlasia-de]

“at war for 1000′s of years”

you clearly know nothing about Afghanistan nor the middle east

here’s Afghanistan in the 1950′s, 60′s, & 70′s

if you really want to know what caused all the instability & growth of extremist groups I suggest you take a look at the US foreign policy towards Afghanistan during the 80′s

It’s interesting to note that when the communist government came to power in Afghanistan in the late 70′s, one of the first things they did was declare equality of the sexes, made education for girls mandatory, & banned child marriages. The conservative tribal leaders who the US armed & funded (& who later became the Taliban) declared this to be a “war on Islam” & fought against the central government.

The US had no problem back then with encouraging the growth of Islamic conservatism to counter socialism/communism. You created your biggest enemy & you have no one to blame but yourselves.

BLESS THIS POST

[blackfemalescientist]

its crazy to me how the US talks about war in the middle east as if its this ancient problem inherent to the area instead of a recent problem created by western countries to further their own interests.

the CIA took out the democratically elected leader of Iran in the 1970s over oil and that set off an entire chain of events leading to ISIS, here’s more about multiple other countries we’ve fucked over 

[nerdfishgirl]

And this post comes by me again……the history of afghanistan given in this post is WILDLY one sided and inaccurate. And i will KEEP reblogging this post with this addition until hell freezes over or I stop seeing the post - one or the other.

I agree with the spirit of this post - but the communist government was not an angel either. After overthrowing the previous government, they killed and imprisoned a whole ton of people - and tortured them. It was also basically a puppet government of the soviet union.

Yes the reforms they put in place were good - but you can’t forcibly change people’s culture over night. Which was pretty much what they were trying to do. When rebellion inevitably happened (bc surprise surprise people don’t like to be ordered around by people from another part of their country who’ve decided to change the way their culture works) the soviet supported government’s response was to round up the village leaders and imprison and/or torture them. When that led to armed rebellion, the soviets then began to help the government bomb the heck out of rural Afghanistan. Its also worth noticing that a large portion of what made people so mad wasn’t only the religious/cultural reforms - I believe that land reform was also a large part of the issue. Yes, the system had been unfair and needed changing - but try to take away and change peoples traditional land ownership - particularly that of those in power, and you are going to have trouble. The issue was not so much the reforms that they were undertaking, but the speed and spirit with which they were being carried out (too fast and with little respect for the people they were impacting).

The fight against the communist government was not only religious - it was about the desire of many Afghanis to rule their own affairs rather than having their government be influenced by another power (the Soviets). Unfortunately, the US supported the radical Islamist fighters, rather than the moderate ones, and then left the country in a power vacuum after the communist government was toppled. Which eventually led to today’s situation.

Neither the Soviets (who WERE basically colonizing Afghanistan - please see their treatment of other central asian countries for how crappy the Soviets were), the Afghani communist government, or the US (and the rest of the West) treated Aghanistan and her people well. And discussing the issue as simplistically in any way will NOT be helpful in finding solutions.
