Maybe it tastes like chicken.

Anyway, if all the whales are killed, then the starship Entrprise will have to
come backin time to kidnap a male and female whale to save the Earth from
being swallowed by a giant space tube.

i understand its similar to condor.

but seriously, we (man) have absolutely destroyed this planet and have directly caused the extinction of 99% of the species that ever lived.

i'll say that again. we have directly caused the extinction of 99% of the species that ever lived.

so what's another species give or take. this planet will collapse in on itself sooner or later. the only hope this planet has for survival is for man to become extinct. sad but true.

I agree Reel. Even if the Jap didn't turn INTO the SS boat, it is his (Jap Capt.)RESPONSIBILITY to avoid any colliosion at any time. Even if he did have the right of way, it is the responsibility of every captain to avoid collisions regardless of right-of-way. The second vid did appear to show the Jap boat turning into the SS boat.


Charlie, how exactly has man destroyed 99% of species that have ever lived on this planet? The asteroid that killed the dinosaurs can't even compete with that. I don't agree with whaling, but that seems to be a really big stretch. Kinda like "global warming". The planet and mother Earth is far more powerful at keeping natural balance than humans give her credit for. I'm not disputing the fact that man has caused the extinction of thousands (probably) of species, but lets get real.

hey bc, this is fact.
transformation of landscape.
overexploitation of species.
pollution.
introduction of alien species.
the sixth extinction is directly attributed to homo sapiens. phase one began when humans began to explore and disperse to different regions of the world.
phase two can be attributed to the beginning of agriculture.
wherever early humans migrated, other species became extinct. earth cannot sustain the trend in human population. it is reaching its limit in carrying capacity. less than 10% of the worlds species have survived the worlds sixth mass extinction. none are expected to survive the next one.
some experts have estimated that up to half of presently existing species will become extinct by 2100.
by the mid 1980's tropical rainforests were being cleared at a rate of 20 million acres per year.
i wrote a 40 page paper on this very subject in college. i still have about 39.75 pages of information left on the subject.
we are poison. the fact is, earth can not sustain itself at the rate at which we are depleting its resources.
most of these findings say the damage, for the most part is reversable but we are making very slow strides toward that end.
99%. FACT!

...well, lets all start killing ourselves then! God save the dung beatle!!!!!!!

Just started to read further into this post and I am against whaling as being done by the Japanese. It just does not make sense.

But I do take exception to your statement above that humans are directly responsible for the extinction of 99% of anything.
Got to tell you, that sounds like the kind of tripe that is spewed by the Al Gore University Greenie carbon footprint types that has been used to indoctrinate kids in schools for decades now and is based on theories and conjecture of people with an agenda.
Just like global warming.
That being said, mankind has done a lot of bad things to our ecology, rainforest destruction is one big example. Pollution of our oceans and streams is another.
We have also, especially in this country done a great deal to clean up our act. We have also paid billions to help other nations get their act together thru direct treaties and thru the U.N
We can also do a lot more, but I am not going to go live in a cave and eat sprouts and kill off every other human born so that a species of tri-segmented sponge beetles can survive in a world that nature itself is constantly evolving species wise.

i would have written a 10 page paper and saved a tree......

Nor am I in favor of killing every other child born...but if we don't eventually take some pre-conception action to get the Earth's human population under control, natural selection, POST conception will do it for us...too many resource-wasting humans aboard this little dust ball we're ridin' around space on...it'll all run out at this rate...we need to start remembering that we don't OWN this place...just borrowing it for the time we are here, and whatever's left gets handed over to our children...hope we're leaving enough to sustain them...

:you::you::you:

you said it Reel. If we would quit babying all those murderers and other assorted thugs and just put them out of our missery, that would help a lot. And just think about how good it would be for our environment when we get rid of all that methane gas they excrete while locked up!!!
