    we cant kill the environment, or the earth, but yes we are killing ourselves. The Earth was here before us, and will be here after us. If we continue to pollute and trash like we do, the chances are that we will ruin the environment for ourselves.

    But, our Mother being what She is, will bounce right back to a new life, and new life will be born. Sadly, we wont be here to see it.

    isn't all this destcuction and carelessness all part of our natural cycle of evolution. We will continue to grow and develop (even if it is negative) until we burn ourselves out - such is nature.

    I'm a liter freak. if I see you throw trash on the ground, then I will follow you until you go and pick it up. The thing that really pisses me off is people who smoke ciggs and put them out on the ground and never pick the butt up! I sooooooooo want to blow up all suvs, mostly hummers...there's no reason to have big cars unless you're hauling something around. The Gods are going to punish us soon enough if we don't straighten our acts up!

    haha!

    I think this is semi true.

    We have fucked with mother nature so much, she is fucking back.

    We are going to all die within the next 100 years, I'm pretty sure. I *hope* it is nature who does it and not man. Damn nukes.

    Although I agree that think man IS killing the environment.. I don't think we can say that mother nature is killing man. Man is as much a part of the 'system' of nature as any other organism, the difference is that our way of life has seperated us from it. We are as much a part of mother nature as the flowers and the bacteria, everything we define as living (and even stuff we don't). We are the schizophrenic part of the universe in that sense.

    I really think it all stems from money, power and ego.. (you know, the world as we know it.. this imaginary system that only works because we're born into it)... we place more importance on them than the only thing that we really need, our own origin.

    Sorry, I'm ranting. I'd just like to point out the insanity of it all.

    -Yes

    Would the world be better without man?
    -To other creatures...yes

    Would life for YOU right now suck without the evolution of technology?
    -Yes quite alot so I am happy that man has done what he has done so far.....but in the big picture I am saddended for what grief we have caused.

    so you admit that man is killing the environment, yet you are satisfied with what man is doing in technology...what does the technology of man have to do with the technology of the environment?

    today i was walking down a hill in my town we call "oxin hill". I had never walked down this hill before because i had always driven.. the weather's nice, decided to walk down to smoke some buds with my friends.. there i was walking and noticed that down this hill (there are trees, plants, grassy hill).. there were actually couches, chairs, cones etc.. all down the grassy part of this hill that is not visible by cars. I thought to myself, i am going to the humanity office of my town.. i do not understand why people feel the need of making the place they live in dirty. But then i remembered, that is why ppl like us "nature lovers" exist. MAKE AIR CLEANER! HELP YOUR TOWN!

    Umm... Humanity isnt killing the planet... Its killing itself. Think about it... Mars is still a planet and its still doing its thing (Yeah theres activity... just not our kind of activity) so no. We are no threat to the planet whatsoever because its still gonna be here LONG after we're gone, even if we do turn it into a frozen ball of rock. It will carry on. So just chill out, smoke some weed and burn some styrophome

    I think the world would be WAY better off without us.
    All we've really done is destroy it.

    Yea, blowing up SUV's is a good idea, go for it. And I think following people around is stupid, pick it up your damn self and go get a job.

    I'm not sure if that post was sarcastic. I'm guessing it's not though.. :| well... that just shows the ignorance of OTHER forms of life on this planet, and life itself, that living in our detatched human world seems to entail. Why does our survival matter? Because in the end, we'll find technologies that don't lead to the planets destruction (if we stay alive that long). Maybe we'll find a way of manipulating nature in a way that benefits us ... growing our own houses... using our own waste as a form of energy... don't be too quick in dismissing those possibilites. Trees do it already, and 2000 years down the line they'll seem far more tangible, if they're not already in use. Then of course there's evolution.

    I say no! This is beacause of main purpose is to be able to change and correct things. Except right now most of the population is doing a horrible job.

    People shouldn't be allowed to just casually toss litter on the ground. If this gal has the balls to follow someone and speak up about it, well... more power to her!

    Why the hell should she be the one to pick it up? It would be so easy on those lazy-ass mofo's to just toss their trash anywhere they damn please... knowing someone else will come along -someone who gives a damn- who will pick it up behind them... and if those people would be corrected it would be alot better than a person going around doing the good deed of pickin up the trash in silence...

    And, what the hell does getting a job have to do with anything?? Your implying that someone who actually takes the time to care, must have too much time on their hands. well Im sure a great amount of the trash thrown around is due to alot of so-called hardworkin people... those who are rushed by the 9-5 ... so freakin busy yet so freakin careless because they think they have a life, and feel that they dont need -or have time to- properly discard their own trash! :confused:

    Well she isn't speaking up about it, shes stalking people, She's gonna feel dumb when she follows the wrong guy who leads her somewhere secluded and she gets fucked up.

    I think that if she has the time to follow people around then she should find something better to do.
