Genetic Diversity is what Survival of the Fittest is in its core.
-
yeah which means at its base things need to die for it to continue aswell.
-
Not exactly. Genetic Diversity means a wide variety of different species different from another species of its own kindred (like lions to tigers, or something like that). For things to die on a massive scale like endangered species, we limit evolution.
-
the fact that some are endagered and some aren't is proof enough that they aren't quite fit enough to live in the ever changing climate of the world.
besides Nature is already fighting back against people or haven't you noticed.
-
Nature fighting back by warming up the earth? The reason for many species becoming defunct is that we are stealing their environment. Rainforests are continually being plundered, and these living conditions are the only ones that some species can stand. Some require trees, some require the shade of trees, and some just require the retention of water in such a damp environment. Simply stating that it's survival of the fittest when there are certain biomes that are always being broken up while other areas aren't simply isn't a justification. Rainforests destroyed by deforestation, and likewise, the plains of Africa are slowly being transformed through desertification, which in turn is hurting the people of Africa. It even links to us to. To those in areas like Africa who cannot flee, especially women in male dominated societies, who are we to say it's survival of the fittest?
-
not by that by other means.
we can call it survival of the fittest simply because one group is surviving while another group isn't…...duh?

I can't agree with that, but whatever.

Yeah. Gaara posted that. As I stated before, Germany is breeding its own clone army of Jack Thompsons.

Sorry, musta missed that….:sad:
Still, words cannot describe how much I sympathize with German gamers.
-
Yeah. Seriously. I mean, the Columbine-Doom incident was one thing, but claiming FFVII as the reason why they were violent? They make Jack Thompson look like best he's best buddies with the video game industry.

Tell me about it. And not only that, but I read on 1up.com that the whole country might draft some sort of legislation that would impose jail time for playing certain games. Another reason why I'm glad to be an American….In AMERICA!
-
Yeah. I read that too. It's simply ludicrous that they're limiting the choice of the people when video games aren't the damn problem.
-
I believe (as ironic as it sounds) that those people should suffer corporal punishment.
I have good reasons for believing so.
And Taleran, what you're saying is like accidently hitting a guy in your car and simply driving away.

Whenever someone says that they hate women, I generally say "Well you're just being unreasonable and making dumb generalizations."
Today, I saw something that made me say, "Man, I hate women."

Ok, I hate fashion police in general. What right do you have to enforse your views on others. Even if they do dress hidiuosly. I remember, it was a big no no, a long time ago, to show bra straps. (it's part of your underwear, shhh) It's no biggie now adays. However, there is tasteful ways to dress, and not tastefull ways to dress. I wouldn't call the fashion police, but I wouldn't want to see a greesy sweat stained bra strap on someone. I'd be embarraced with myself, if I had a grungy bra strap showing.

This calls for spousal beatings.
They don't even have to be spousal.
Hell, they don't even have to be beatings. More like leather time.

how can I be responsible about doing something about a problem that doesn't affect me.
it'd be in this case irresponsible for me to do anything.

Humans created the problem, fix the problem. Easy. I don't see anything wrong with that.
If it doesn't affect you, you have the option of helping or not helping. Right now, I'm not helping on a lot of things.

when both the problem caused and the way to solve it use the same thinking I'd rather not.

Oh, I think they had that story on 20/20 Because the kid was on porn sites, hackers were taking advantage of his PC and storing stuff on his hard drive without him knowing. Therefore, when cops go looking for child porn, He gets in trouble, and not the real bad people. Luckily they got a computer expert to proove that the kid did not put the child porn on the pc himself. Some hacker did.
It's sad really. I don't agree with porn, but lots of kids are curios. It is an innocent thing, what the kid did, and all this bad stuff happens because of it. The Family is terrified of computers now.
