What a bunch of Naive children no grasp of reality in the world as a whole. There are 8,000,000,000, and the number of Covid deaths is 0.003125 and your hearts are bleeding. 250,000 dead in Somalia. 100,000 in Yemen dead. 480,000 Iraqis killed directly or from disease or displacement. 5,000,000 die of hunger yearly in Africa. The dead and dying are of the third world but the great concern comes out when 250,000 first world people "passed away" or "went to a better place". Euphemisms really sound much better than "they're dead". Sounds a bit racist to me.
I didn't know this forum was dedicated to singing Kumbaya and having happy thoughts. You should be able to have a conversation without the venom.
60% of the worlds vertebrae species permanently passed away between 1970 and 2014. Dozens of insect species go extinct daily and in a few decades another million will follow as a direct result of human activity.
Tyler that's a bunch of horse shit. Your talking about a geologic time frame that goes back millions of years to the primordial soup. I was talking about a decade. Do you really think they're comparable?? Do you actually think Darwins theory of natural selection is evident in 10 years? What species are being "selected out"? Again no relevance. What valuable pollinators should we protect? Carrion flies, moths, and honey bees but beetles are great pollinators accounting for 25% of pollination or at least google and Scientific American magazine have determed. I'm not a bad guy but would you cut down all the red woods to save 50 people? Maybe 100. The biggest threat to the world is overpopulation. The 250,000 dead won't change that. Just because a question or topic is uncomfortable doesn't mean your being trolled. I just thought the topic could be discussed. My 87yo mother thinks my 25yo daughter's life is more valuble than her own and as much as i love mother we've talked about it and we agree.
Feel free to call me names but at least have a real opinion on the question. Hey I enjoyed toking and talking.
