Members scratchie Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Even cold November Rain. I've always wondered where the wedding guests parked for this. I always wondered I was the only one who thought a leather stovepipe wasn't cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cropduster Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Been listening to the propaganda, huh? It's amazing how you would say we are a disease and should be snuffed out! Look at the leaders who allow alot of the {censored} to happen and begin there. Its the human problem of acting like a "herd animal" that makes people do the stupid stuff and say stupid things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members kooter82 Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 Nah, we aren't a disease. But we do "disease" our environment and other spieces due to a combination of our ignorance and how our civilizations have progressed with time naturally. In general, I don't believe humans have anything to worry about from self-caused issues that could led to our demise as a whole. I'd be more concerned with studying the natural processes that Earth does if you were to ever "save" or prevent the human race from being wiped from the earth. There are certain processes that there would be nothing we could do and basically...goodbye humanity. Such as what happened in Siberia 250 million years ago.

Members HottKarl Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 [video=youtube;mE2-7a_F_B0] Oh, and anyone who thinks that humans will have any sort of lasting affect on the earth is, well, an idiot. The earth has been around for billions of years. Our little brains have no comprehension of how long that is. We will have our time on this planet but the earth will still be here long after we are gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the other hand, can you tell me any other time in history when there has been a species that has the capability to eliminate 100% of life on the planet? We have enough nuclear arms to eliminate every single living organism on the face of the earth 7 times. In other words, we could sterilize the earth completely should a nuclear holocaust break out. You think that won't have a lasting effect on earth? It would be a completely unprecedented event. I'm not saying it will happen, but I'm saying we have the capability to have a much more lasting effect than any species before us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you're talking billions of years, there is really no way to know if your statement, or mine for that matter, is correct. Even if we wiped our ass with the planet and it was uninhabitable for the next 500,000 years.....does that qualify as a 'lasting effect' when you're talking about 4 billion years?

Members Whomever Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 First of all, no we're not a disease. We're animals just like any other. Remember...if it eats it {censored}s.....point being that we have more in common with other life on earth than a lot of people would like to think. THe only difference between us and other animals is that we have the thumbs and higher intellect. Sure, we have technology that could wreak havoc with OUR lives and the lives of the animals that are around us. What i can't stand is the people who look at mankind as a disease or a pest or cockroaches or whatever. Why the hatred for mankind? Every person who hates humankind is still PART of humankind. So if you hate yourself, what are you waiting for? Just off yourself to help quell the problems associated with humankind. And if you arrogantly (one of the many traits of humankind that is aberrant) believe that we have the power to unleash a holocaust that will forever destroy the prospect of life on the planet then you are just plain stupid. We can take a chunk of it, that's for sure. People who say that {censored} to me just seem to think that they're better than others. "I hate people!! But not me and my family and friends....we're cool but everyone else sucks". People do {censored}ty things, true. People can be destructive, true. People can be polluters, true. But there's more to "us" than that. Stop hating and start helping. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ruppert240 Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 we've been around in our current state for what, 50k years? this planet has been around for billions of years. we are ess than a footnote in it's history. do we make stupid and selfish choices that affect other species? most definitely. Will we have a lasting imprint on this planet? define lasting. the siberian event mentioned above stiffled life for around 30 million years. but even that is a drop in the bucket of the history of this planet.

Members Pepi Posted June 17, 2011 Members Share Posted June 17, 2011 I came in here to make an Agent Smith joke, but that's been covered. We can't destroy something we're part of. Nature works in cycles. Humans are part of the earth, just like trees. It's not like we're something alien to the ecosystem that was shat out by pirate alien scientologists. We're part of it. Saying humanity is anything special to the earth is incredibly short sighted and presumptuous. Yep, even trees have sex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members eudaimonia02912 Posted June 18, 2011 Members Share Posted June 18, 2011 Our current nuclear arsenal could destroy 100% of life on earth. False. For one, there are all sorts of bacteria in the ground that we couldn't harm. There's a good chance there has been at least one event in history in which the oceans were vaporized and the surface of the earth was sanitized, but life continued underground anyways.
