Nature smature
Posted By Think - Thu, Jun 03 2010 at 12:58 PM ESTNature or mother nature (fro you silly ones) will sit in awe of how GOD will judge the earth. When that judgement comes it will not be over global warming or environmental causes, it will be over human attitudes and moral beliefs/behavior.
*SPOILER*
Posted By life - Tue, Jun 15 2010 at 11:56 AM ESTGod doesn't exists.
being one of his follower's is like claiming existance of teletubies... it's for dumb people.
egyptian gods and greek gods met their ends, it's time for christianity, islam, jewism, hinduism etc. to follow their footsteps to mythology/fiction sections.
People don't do anything, because they don't know what to do, or are just waiting for their JUDGEMENT DAY.
"It's for dumb people"
Posted By Think - Tue, Jun 15 2010 at 1:42 PM EST"God doesn't exists... it's for dumb people" Wow!! Another nonsensical argument by someone no brighter than a teletubby. Serously, can anyone on this website formulate a logical argument. What you think or feel is irelevant unless you can back up your argument. When I say God will judge I can point to over a thousand Biblical propheciies that have already been fullfilled at a 100% predictabilty rate. The ones that are yet to be fullfilled mostly involve Israel, the Middle East, a one world.... More
God is for Reetards, divinity is for all
Posted By nikoniko - Fri, Jun 18 2010 at 5:00 PM ESTHey "Think" please back up your claims – late night televangelist armageddon specials don't count as credible evidence that God is "angry". Which version of the Bible are you referring to, cause the same god channelled the Old Testament, the New Testament and the Qur'an. What prophecies are you talking about? Please give some examples, to back up your claim of a 100% prophecy-coming-true rate!

Maybe some one has brought that up i a previous post.

I would like The Andean Condor to not be engandered.
Posted By Carlos - Wed, Apr 14 2010 at 12:33 AM ESTI love The Andean Condors, I have never seen one of those, but It is the most impressive bird I have ever seen in videos.
P.S.
Posted By Tod - Tue, Mar 23 2010 at 4:36 PM ESTJust wondering about the data:
Scientists tell us that South American Jungles (like Ecuador) are filled with hundreds of thousands of "yet to be discovered plant species" and possible thousands of undiscovered animal species. If this is true; how in the world do they know that the species they claim are endangered are not flourishinfg in those "yet to be explored" areas? Sorry guys but logic tells me some of these numbers are politically (shock value) motivated. We all need to realize.... More

Human loathing and entitlement
Posted By Tod - Tue, Mar 23 2010 at 1:53 PM ESTAs I read the comments above; I am struck by the viceral hate towards the human race. My guess is most who commented have computers, Ipods, TVs, cars, expensive clothes and shoes, and feel entitled to all these things and more. You can be aware, you can be active, you can even have a deep respect for nature, without being a human loathing hypocrite. Please be consistant otherwise your just showing you've gathered your infinite wisdom from hollywood's movie themes and her brilliant activist.... More
Hint...
Posted By Jenny - Thu, Apr 08 2010 at 3:59 PM ESTIt is spelled "visceral," not "viceral." And you should learn the proper way to use semicolons. They are not interchangeable with commas. I'm just going to ignore all the other spelling mistakes and shallow arguments.
Hint
Posted By Grinchy - Mon, Apr 26 2010 at 6:56 AM ESTWhat does this have to do with his ability to spell...Are u perhaps trying to cover your own guilt on the topic by picking out something so trivial! U give all humans a bad rep!!!!
Guilty
Posted By Tod - Wed, Apr 14 2010 at 12:27 PM ESTGuilty as charged concerning punctuation and spelling (I'm a science guy, not English). Interesting that you chose my piece to critique; you must not have read any others. Concerning my "shallow arguments" they are virtually the same as yours. The difference: mine are informed. You are learning about natural selection. I, on the other hand, have a degre in Earth Science and a Masters in Environmental Science. But hey, you keep on pointing out the small (shallow)stuff. maybe that will save the.... More

And as a matter of fact, i DO have computers. Well actually i have TWO laptops because i'm greedy like that. But i do step out an enjoy nature often. Living by the beach is great. It keeps me away from these goons and their iPods, TVs, cars, exspensive clothes and shoes. Why you think i wear shorts CO-MAN-DO like we all should. Anyway. GO GREEN!!! ;D
Incoherant jibberish is now cool I guess

Posted By Rion K - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 4:04 PM ESTThat some of you here are full of it. What's "sad" is when you ACTUALLY think about it, the negative feedback are alll true! What did you all expect to happen when you put a species like humans in a habitat like Earth? I don't feel sorry for us. We abused it. It didn't abuse us. Get with the program people. Don't act like you give a crap just because you've read an article online or in the paper heck even watched movie with "actors" that suppposedly give a (bleep). Yeah? If these "people" did.... More

living for earth destruction
Posted By harlequin - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 8:28 PM ESTare we living for earth destruction?
well, its up to you how will you think about yourself...
Listen Up
Posted By Jenny - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 7:14 PM ESTOkay, what I think: we are responsible for a lot of the extinctions, but not all of them. We're learning about natural selection and adaptions and Earth History in school, and whatever animal is more suited for it's enviorment will go extinct. True, we're doing a lot to them, but A LOT of them can adapt. Humans do need to do something, but I'd like all of you complainers to ask youselves what you are doing. Most of you will realize nothing. You're sitting on your butts complaining and.... More
i know!
Posted By Rion K - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 4:24 PM ESTI agree with jenny here. Stop complaining and start doing. But, what about the OTHER animals that CANNOT adapt? We may learn information in school but that does not necessarily mean THAT learned knowledge will be useful in the future. Like animals we too adapt as well. Like being born of a baby, to adolesence, then to maturity. The world changes and so does EVERYTHING in it. Information learned and attained DOES NOT mean it will always be accurate all the time. How? I asked my niece if she.... More
people forget
Posted By Anonymous - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 4:05 PM ESTthe earth is still going to be here. Humans are what will go extinct without animals, food and water.
The earth won't be here
Posted By Revalator - Thu, May 20 2010 at 5:52 PM ESTIt is not true that the earth will always be here. The bible says that the earth will burn up with a fervant heat and all of the elements will be disolved.
nice chris
Posted By Alfred - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 9:03 AM ESTHey Chris, I like your idea, only the strong will survive in this world, even if they save those animals, it is worthless. The earth is near in its destruction.
Patriotism is the last resort of a COWARD.
Heh!
Posted By Rion K - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 4:29 PM ESTNo matter how we all see things. Patriotism or not. Ironic Redundancy will ALWAYS be a part of life. i don't think it's about patriotism. it is more like expressing ones animalistic urges to exhibit the behavior we do. We all are in fact members of the mammal family anyway. So why add Patriotism? it's just plain human stupidity if you ask me.
You're an idiot
Posted By Molly - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 9:29 AM ESTSeriously? Patriotism is the last resort of a coward? Can you be more thoughtless, pointlessly blatant, or stupid?
If you do not understand what something is, go look it up. Patriotism is doing what is believed to be morally right, which is definitely not the act of a coward.
Go be an idiot somewhere else you fool
I don't necessarily agree with the first commenter but...
Posted By James - Sun, Mar 21 2010 at 1:41 PM ESTIf patriotism is doing what is morally right, how do you account for all the terrible things that have been done in the name of patriotism? Including, for that matter, environmental destruction, for the sake of ones country? Global problems require thinking beyond your national borders, because the problems themselves certainly won't respect your national borders.
Not surprised.
Posted By Ryan A. - Sat, Mar 20 2010 at 1:42 AM ESTDon't wake up, people. Just keep sleeping till everything is extinct.
Right!
Posted By Rion K - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 4:32 PM ESTDon't worry. It's heading there. I don't think i'm going to set my alarm clock. Then again i don't have to. I'm jobless like the rest of the millions of people waiting to go extinct like the animals. YAY! :D!

How about we put this under control, make a damn plan stick to it improve it... Wow!! Why didn't those people getting my taxes think of this??? Ughhh??? Ignorance Kills even Innocent creatures.
Mmm what you saaa-ay!
Posted By Travis Bucharest - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 5:11 PM ESTMan, we are human. We only pretend to care about something until we actually get it. Once we do, then we forget about everything altogether. It IS politics when you think about it. We vote someone in that BS'es about doing one thing, when voted in, they do ANOTHER. How lame is that? If that was the case we should all be like the "immigrants" and work under the table. Why not? We are all being swept under there anyway. We might as well go with it. Along with the animals that we kill off and.... More

Posted By Gary - Fri, Mar 19 2010 at 11:44 PM ESTInteresting that most of the countries listed are Third World ones with their own economic problems, except, right up at No 2 is the most wasteful, self indulgent nation on Earth-the good ol' gas-guzzling US of A! All that room and they've still managed to endanger more of their wildlife than most of the rest of the world combined. What a great example to us all.

Posted By a_homosapien - Fri, Mar 19 2010 at 7:00 PM ESTIt is really unfortunate to see this list... and it is still Growing...
Just because we have a sophisticated brain…We took the Right to wipe out Every Single Species and may finally be ourselves.
I think that is inevitable.
But, I Believe this planet will reborn again hopefully without a Species like us.
Shame Shame Indeed! ):/
Posted By Travis Bucharest - Mon, Mar 22 2010 at 5:27 PM ESTI'm sure that will most likely happen. For now let us enjoy our lives while we can. Then! When or if some of us are reborn, into animals most likely, we will see how THEY were treated and taken advantage of. I would certainly enjoy being a giant eagle. So if anyone D**ks with me, i will tear your eyes out and fly away with it and feed it to my chicklings. What? If the negative cycle starts over again, i'm going to make sure i'm at the top of things. F that. Hows THAT for reincarnation?.... More

Cycle
Posted By Gari - Fri, Mar 19 2010 at 10:12 AM ESTExtinction has been happening for million of years now. Plants and animals become extinct. And new ones will replace those gone. This is the cycle of nature. And sometimes we humans get sentimental about the lost species. It is not even remote that maybe the human specie will also become extinct one day for reasons that may be within man's control or due to external uncontrollable forces.
