http://www.livescience.com/animalworld/060306_extinct_list.html Why do we print stories like this one if no one is willing to do anything about it? Will the whole world just go to shit while we sit back and read it on the internet?
I'm too apathetic to even bother to read that link. Sounds like a bummer, man. Quit harshing my mellow.
Could not decide a vote on that answer could have been sometimes either way. When I was a kid I used to love to watch those Mutual of Omaha Wild Adventures shows. I would consider myself an animal lover myself. Animals have innocence about them I do appreciate. On the other hand for instance I watched that Grizzly Man episode the other day and I think that guy was certifiably insane. Bi-polar, maybe I don’t know I'm no psychiatrist maybe Barry could give a prognosis. Point is these days there are a lot of extreme animal wackos out there. Taking the same approach that we should prevent any species from becoming extinct then with genetic engineering advances then as soon as we can we need to bring back from extinction all previously extinct species. For example go to the Smithsonian and get some dna from a Tyrannosaurus Rex and inject it into the sperm and egg of a Komodo Dragon or Alligator or Crock. Take Saber Tooth tiger dna and do the same thing with a Siberian Tiger. Woolly Mammoth/Elephant ...... the list goes on and I'm sure you get the point. Sounds stupid from that perspective doesn’t it? A few animals I would like to see extinct: Mosquito Alligator Tick Flea Chigger Certain clams Asian snake fish Large snake species such as Python, Anaconda Brown Recluse, Black Widow Scorpion The list could go on I'm sure. Think of all the plant species I could add. And do I think this would cause a catastrophic imbalance? ... No it would not.
Thanks or the reply joeslogic. I understand where you are coming from there are a few animals I would like to see gone my self. But the real problem is that humans know what we are doing. We see it at the end of every nature show. We are causing irreversible damage to the planet and it’s inhabitants. Still we chose to hide the planets suffering in the woods while we all play volleyball.
I'd like to see the 700 Club and all of it's viewers go into extinction. Other than that I don't want to see anything go extinct.
Over the years I have learned the value of credibility. There is a silent majority out there that is slow to wake and slow to react but when it does change can take place. Unfortunately so many of the nature shows have lost the credibility of the public. While they do have an extremely dedicated following. I think the approach would be better looked at from a cause and effect incentive type of perspective. for example. Elephant poaching for Ivory tusks. When they outlawed the Ivory trade values of Ivory went from like 200 per ounce to 2000 per ounce. (do not hold me exactly to those figures I'll be glad to find an example however and the point is the same) Actually more elephants were poached and loads of money were dumped into policing the poachers unsuccessfully. Since then certain areas of Africa have adopted other approaches that work better. I'm going to go look for the article I recently read regarding the Ivory trade. It’s an example of manipulation of the market using more reasonable means. Until then check out the Bunny game or the Desert Island trade game here: http://www.libertyarcade.org/

Why hasn't smurf posted here yet? We should go round and see if he's OK ... anyone know where he lives?
I just can't post at work anymore, and with my internet being the bitch that it is, I don't like going through all the trouble of posting. I don't hate the human race, but I do hate stupid, apathetic people. I'll get what they deserve.
Because they didn't give a damn, or they were being stupid like "Haha! That'll never happen! Silly, paranoid smurf!" Earth in grip of mass extinction: scientists
Ha-ha Thanks for posting the bunny game. It’s very straightforward and its message is critical. I only wish that they would make these into a series of consol games so that it may reach more children before there are no more fucking bunnies! Is there any way to regulate the earths impending doom with out the use of a one world government? :twisted:
They have told me that they are on to you. You better watch out. Between the aliens and the government you have no chance. They have been using snoodling as their method of removing your soul so you are probably all ready one of them. Poor bastard. You thought snoodling was cool.
It would be politically correct to hate people. I guess. People are cute, but ofcourse they are a pest, and we should take out a major part of the human herds. Unchecked humanity spells deaths. Its that ¨freedom¨ rearing its ugly head again.
Finally some one who sees the truth. The human population is just way out of control. The planet can not support this many people. The animal kingdom can't support this many humans. There has to be a breaking point and I think we've already reached it. I just hope the bird flu can acomplish something towards this end. I'm certain that snoodlling will not help 8)
That's what'll finally do us in. The famine, which in turn causes disease because of our polluted bodies filled with heavy metals and crap from all the shit we eat and drink. And the war from all the religious nuts killing other sinners/infidels/antichrists in God's name.
