niteowl said: and what about all the deliberate extinctions that humans have done ?
small pox polio
I didn't hear any people crying when we killed those organisms
but heaven forbid some rare squid in the deep goes extinct
This is the last post I read and I just HAVE to comment now.
First of all polio was bad. Small pox, was bad. That squid isnt bad. Shit, it could be the very cure for the swine flu. You have NO idea.
next I would like to say that you are both right as far as evolution. Somethings take thousands of years. For instance, growing wings...
On the other hand... somethings can evolve more quickly, such as the coral you mentioned. It would be a weird world if everything evolved at the same rate. And actually if that was the case, then we would know exact time and dates that all animals would evolve.
and in that is the beauty of evolution.

YES! I like you
maybe a few hundred years ago we didnt have the technology to gather resources responsibly but its 2010 bitches. We ARE moving in to the future and more and more people are realizing that while the earth IS big, its the only one and we are fucking it up to no end.
Sure we can live on mars maybe... maybe the moon, maybe another planet... but until we can learn to manage the one we have properly, then we SHOULD NOT even think about living on another planet.
Talk about taking things for granted..
"oh shit we killed the Earth, oh well we can find a new one"

How can a microbe be 'bad' ? You're being emotional when you say that eradicating a virus is okay, but chopping down a giant sequoia is bad...
You can't be a cheerleader for humanity and then scoff at it's ignorance.
To whom would it matter if we DID blow up the Earth? Maybe we'll donate a chunk to become mars' new moon and it'll become more suitable for life in the process... That would be the green thing to do right?
We're hurtling through space at unimaginable speeds dodging any number of catastrophes and destined for extinction... The thing is, only consciousness cares (if you believe) and yet is unaffected...
Again though, I'll say I do like this place and these experiences, and I wish we could go back to being in harmony with our home and live much more like the natives and other inhabitants of Earth...
I guess my final contribution to this thread is to always remember to think for yourself... Really question where your beliefs come from. Note how specific and unwavering our cultural beliefs have become. Everything is yes/no, red/blue, right/wrong... Just remember to really identify with the origins of your opinions, and never be afraid to form new ones...
