"A society becomes great when old men plant trees under whose shade they know they will never sit."

No no, this is all backwards. Do a reverse mortgage and leave nothing to your progeny. It's the only way you'll be able to spend your last years at the nickel slots!

I must say, I've never heard this one, but it's true.

I've just planted an olive grove so all glp-ers in 2215 can sit under them.

and kills the Unborn in the Womb.

We need a Harry Hempseed to grow Hemp to save the Forests from the Old men's machines so the Trees can grow and provide shade for the Children of Tomorrow.

Baby Boomers planted 19 trillion dollars of debt.

Wow, that short sentence really says it all.

I planted a bunch of Rowan trees last year, I'll probably never see them fully grown, but I don't care so long as they continue to grow and don't get destroyed by future savages.

It's a proverb.

It is giving without expecting return.

Oh, never mind, this generation certainly doesn't get it.

Go back to you playstation.

You're the ones who made it come to this cos you lack the wit, vision and determination to build a better way.

In the 20th century tv and movies didn't tell us jack shit of the stuff you claim it did. We did what we did cos nothing that cain from the mainstream was any good.

"A society becomes great when old men plant trees under whose shade they know they will never sit."



No-

A society becomes great when old patriots water the tree with the blood of tyrants to obtain liberty they won't live to enjoy.

Pics or it didn't happen.

The Romans planted 6000 crucifixes along the Appian way and nailed people to them. For the horrendous crime of not wanting to die in combat for other peoples amusement.

The tree offers shade even to the woodcutter.

The problem is not with the trees.

It's crazy that so many people are talking about trees, Romans and Muslims without focusing on the meaning of the proverb.

But if you read twitter and Tumbler then all the problems of this world are the cause of the old white men.

Wrong. The crucifixions were way before then, about 100BC, along the via Appia, long before the actual Appian Way was built, a great construction.

Its the same road ranmo.

Yeah good point.

FWIW I used to plant trees for a living. 2 - 3000 a day before it destroyed my back.

Was hoping they'd suck up carbon for generations but many have been chopped down for woodchips. Cos we need our bog roll now.

No one in our society thinks about what they'll build for the future not themselves.

I read that as

"They play a long game"

That's the motto of the Jews. They've set up control 100 years ahead for their ethnicity.

My boyfriend always says "You're going to die soon, you old Jew fart! So why do you care?!" Everytime we notice them setting up something. But that's why. That phrase is the how to create results.

Perhaps you are not aware that olive trees live for hundreds of years---they are even some that exist today that are close to 1000 years old. the Romans were last in N Africa in 4-5C. The pedophile, warlord Mohammed comes 200 years later copying everybody else's shit and adding his own perversity to make up his own death cult(it's NOT a religion, that's for sure).

The chances of the Muslims trashing the trees are very high. Muslims piss all over everything. They see any kindness---still today---as weakness.

and then the society is not so great.

But if it was, will the tree be cut at all?

Easter Island comes to mind

Luv ya Tess, but the Appian Way--just down the street from me--- was built 312BC and Crassus put the crucifixes up every 100m at the time of the revolt of Spartacus (73BC). Via Appia already an old road by then.

Way to not get it. Ape.
