True, but very few things are less effective than whining.

Actually, while whining rarely accomplishes anything, a lot of things anti-accomplish something, i.e., they make the problem worse.

True. Perhaps:

Stop whining; do something effective if you can find it.

"If you can find it" invites beliefs. Do something effective, or pick a different topic.
