Anyone else against cutting & killing the trees just for decorative purposes?
A plastic tree would do just fine, I personally don't see the purpose of this slaughter. Even if they were grown in " nurseries " for just this purpose, it really saddenes me to see such beauties dying stocked up in supermarkets or someones living room.

is this Sarah's troll account?:
For F's sake. Really????
Sometimes I really hate people.
I don't take animal rights advice from pro-aborts and I damned sure don't give a shit about what they think of plants, either.
Hey DUmmie....did it ever occur to you that the Christmas trees we cut down would never have existed in the first place? Just think of them as tree abortions and rejoice.Exactly. They are planted ONLY because they are worth so much money several years later.

We are going to cut down one of our own trees this year, for the first time ever! :yahoo: I found a small stand of junipers all crowded together, so we're going to start thinning by taking one to decorate this year. I am so excited. :-)
Real trees are a part of the tree union and they need those jobs at Christmas time. Plastic trees are scabs.
Leave it to a DUmmie to compassion a working tree out of work.
100% bio degradable. Totally earth friendly.100% renewable, also. :-)
That's nothing.
I weep over cornstalks.
Let the ritual tree holocaust begin!
:evillaugh:
Arbor genocide happens right in my own backyard every year, and as long as Mother Nature exists, there's not a damned thing one can do about the massacre of trees.(http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y223/dummiedestroyer/elkhornspr.jpg)
Too bad for the trees, but what can one do?
I happen to have a tree crematoriam in my livingroom.
It gets used quite a bit in the winter.
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.
I'm cremating a tree right now.....and it feels good. :-)

11. True, but...
...not sure the tree appreciates it. The husband doesn't get the whole fake tree thing, so we get real ones. We all thank the tree before it's put up and then again when it is taken down. He thought it was silly at first. Now, he gets all emotional just like his wifey

Oh my God. :thatsright: I can't see your pic, but I can just imagine. Just shoot that poor guy now.

The parodyHoly crap, that's too funny.

8. I get almost
physically ill when I see trees get cut down.
Doing it for Christmas is just horrendous, IMO.
When I see a giant redwood, I think of how many great decks it could build, and all the barbecues and deep-fried turkeys we could have on those decks.
Why kill the trees ?????? For the same price or close to it one can buy a 2-3 foot spruce tree with root ball and bring it in side, decorare it and later take it outside and plant it in the yard. No yard, then sell it for half price to a coworker friend of family that has a place for it. Or give it away, after all if it was dead it would just be thrown out.
Been trying for 20+ years to get hubby to do this, ----He reminds me of Fiddler on the Roof---TRADITION----darn it all.
Neighbor did this about 15 years ago, he went out and dug a hole for the tree when the ground was still soft not frozen. When I visited them they had the tree with root ball and dirt in a very large pot in his front window all decked out in lights and decorations. Only a bit less then 3 feet tall and a beauty. After Christmass he moved the tree to his back porch and wrapped it up in plastic and newspapers and there it sat until March. He then moved it to it's new home and today it is a good 12 feet tall. All toll he planted a good 7 of the trees , when his wife died and he moved those trees still remind me of him and wife.--------His home lot was 1/4 acre and became a wonderland of trees.
Trees add to the value of property, even if one lives in a run down trailer park, the first beat up old home to be sold is the one with the most trees and the most cared for shrubs.
The only dead or dieing trees I buy are lumber.
During the drought this summer, I swear I could hear the weeds moaning.
Is it cruel to let the tree die, or is it cruel to deny the tree its destiny?
Is is really tree cremation? or is it a tree lynching? :fuelfire:

Funniest thing I've heard all day. I haven't read pages 2-4, but I'm hoping someone already posted the video of the wackos from ELF crying at the "murder" of their beloved trees.Comment #33, by RobJohnson. Page 3
I want to MOOOOOOOOOOURN!"
Oh, and Hi5, Duke.

According to notices distributed to residents of an exclusive waterfront neighborhood in Hawaii, they can expect to enjoy restricted access and other inconveniences to their homes and normal lives from Dec. 17 through Jan. 6. That's about a 50% longer holiday vacation than last year.
pssst, hey DUmmies, your false god has no problems killing trees just for decorative purposes...
Amazing how a reelection can reshape an incumbent's thinking about many things. Now safely ensconced in the White House for 49 more months, the Obamas have decorated the place with 54 Christmas trees this year.
Even allowing for the usual Washington excesses with taxpayer money, that's a whole grove of Christmas trees.
"We have 54 trees in the White House," an excited Michelle Obama proudly told visitors the other day. "54! That’s a lot of trees."
In fact, the Obamas' 54 trees this year are almost 50% more Christmas trees than last year. That was during the campaign before Obama whispered a reminder to the Russians that he had to be careful until Nov. 6, when a victory would give him more "flexibility."
Now, how much carbon do you suppose those 54 trees could be sequestering had they not been chopped by this green president?

:ownit:
People used to take their old Christmas trees and weight them down with cement blocks and throw them in the lake to make fish habitats.....you aren't allowed to do that any more....the game wardens frown upon it.

Fake Christmas trees might be convenient and seem eco-friendly at first glance, but their environmental costs—measured in greenhouse gas emissions and landfill space—far outweigh their benefits, say conservationists who urge consumers to "stay real" this holiday season.

Buy a Real Tree For a Green Christmas
Real trees provide wildlife habitat and sequester carbon, while providing employment.

They still do that here, it makes good habitat for Crappie and Bass.
We put them on top of the lake.
Of course the water was still frozen.
Worked out great.
:rotf: You're such a redneck! And I mean that in the most affectionate way possible. :blowkiss:
