Nope, thats not a house.  At least, its not a house for humans.  Im sure other species would feel quite at home in there.

Someday your children will come and say to you "Dad, the whole world is a wasteland and all the animals are extinct. Why didn't you DO anything about it?"

And you will say... "I did! I argued that It wasn't happening!"

If all the animals are extinct, how could I have children?  You do realize that humans are animals right?  We are not separate from nature and the ecosystem, we are forever embedded within it.

Presumably your hypothetical child was talking about the non-human animals.


Wordplay and bullshit, wordplay and bullshit.

It makes me cry when I think about what we are doing to this world, all the dolphins and whales we are killing, the oil spill in the gulf coast, the nuclear reactors in Japan, the rainforest being cut down, it makes me soooo sad I could just die...

:sad:

Do you cry for the shark population that has been decimated?

The oil in the gulf came from where exactly? (Hint: mother Earth)

The nuclear reactors wouldn't have been be a problem if what didn't happen? (Hint: earthquake)

Sharks are scary but they should not be killed just for there fins!

Well, Moonshoe already backed off ona a false statement and an overstatement.

How does emotionalism and exaggeration build a solid case?
Should we base action on falsehoods?

Long ago, what did the husband say to the wife when their child was eaten by a large predator?

"Honey, we could have killed that crocodile/tiger/bear/wolf/etc. but that might have upset the ecosystem. Better that our child died."

Sound reasonable?

Ever seen a Florida backyard with fire ant mounds? Would you let your children play there or would you get 5 gallons of gas and a match?

I agree that the manner in which moonshoe put this topic and carries it on is spoken with a tone that's more in line with emotional sensationalism rather than factual and objective, however, i also see how nitpicking is failing to see the very serious and real topic that he's presenting, even if it's not being argued in a super objective sounding manner

I'm not sure that i've said anything here...i guess what i'm saying is can't we all just get along? lol

Hmmm, I wonder who fucked over the hundreds of square miles of pristine forest around Mt. St. Helens?

I wonder how the eco-system is doing today?

(Try just a teeney bit of research. I know that is asking a lot.)
