Tigers could be extinct in 12 years: WWF

didnt they win the world series a couple years ago?

 

Detroit is also on the verge of going extinct.

 

This sort of thing just makes me so depressed. Although it is not just tigers, I get depressed over the extinction of even the most ugly of creatures. But we are experiencing of horrifying loss of beautiful large predators which is very disturbing.

 

Save the tiger was a great movie...I recommend it if you havent seen it yet

 

also I just remembered one tiger that I like

 

What about Tony the Tiger?!

 

Tigers are incredible. I wish I had one and I could scare the shit out of people by walking it at the park. :devil:

 

I was just going to mention that!

But I mean, how could someone not love him?

This picture is relevant for several reasons for this thread.



Although it needs a different word than "childish".

 

I saved my legos for my nieces and nephews...

now theyre too old so Ill probably save them for their kids

 

Oh, good. The crazy people will survive.

 

If they turn out to be the only ones who survive... how crazy were they really???

 

That was kind of my point.

They have spent their lives preparing for this one thing. Now what's next for them? It's not like they are social creatures who could rebuild a society...

 

I'll agree they couldn't likely rebuild our society... I don't see how that's a bad thing...

 

Exactly. Id much rather mankind became extinct than any other species of animal. Man will bring about the destruction of the planet anyway, sooner or later. And we're meant to be the more intelligent species... you wouldnt think so.

 

during your life span?

 

In no way did I mean that I thought it would mean the extinction of mankind...

I was speaking in terms of our societies as they are now. Those who thrive in this atmosphere, who would have the best change to rebuild these societies, arent going to be the ones that are out in the wilds digging shelters... If only those in the shelters are left, they will rebuild a society... but it won't be one like we have today... That's not saying it will be better or worse, but it most definitely will be different from what we have.

Honestly, though, I can't see it being much worse....

 

Good point
