Bleh, I'm no tree hugger. I like to eat animals. I'd eat just about any of them (even dogs and cats!). However I just hate it when animals go extinct due to humans. It's just a shame. It's not the end of the world but I can't understand how some people just don't care if we kill off like everything.
I believe in human dominance over animals like anybody who's not crazy (I'm looking at you Peta people). However at the same time I don't think we should be hunting TRIBBLE to extinction.
I like whales, tortoises, monkeys and other animals enough to just not want to see them disappear so future generations could see them in something other than a history book.
P.S. And yes, I admit I care more about cool animals than boring ones.

False dichotomies are not your friend.
There you go again with the false dichotomies.
Either you believe in human dominance over animals or you're crazy?
So, The Lakota Nation, the Kuori People, the Maori People, the Hindi, etc (and this list is quite extensive) are all crazy?
You are racist, you realise this? If you don't believe like I do you're crazy?
Get over yourself.
I have a piece of paper certifying my sanity. I also have university level scientific education. I do not believe in human dominance over animals. I tend to think, like most people who have a fundamental understanding of ecology, that we should strive to live in harmony with our eco systems.
Season 1, episode 4.
I'm glad Dodos are dead.
I'm guessing when you read writing works you'd get confused.
"All the world is NOT a stage! It is in fact a planet and globe and the domain of humankind!"
"No, Yoda you moron there IS a try!"
Seriously man! Walk away.
My response (while extremely drunk and talking to friends on Skype)
"Who the heck cares about Polar bears! It would just as soon eat me as I would light it up on sight! Let 'em die and it's one less thing I gotta worry about if I go to Alaska!"
My response to Whale Wars:
"Know what would be funny? if an actual Navy came for these guys.... yeah..." ***
*** for the record, I like whales.
Epilogue from a show about shark attacks:
"Ooohh noooo! A potential man eater is getting garroted for soup and for cartalidge pills! My heart's breaking for you sweetheart!"
Upon seeing TV spot for saving tigers"
"Well that is a genuine shame... just wish anything at all could be done to truely stop the poaching.
On the subject of monkey and apes:
"Aww... look. He's crying... HAHAHAHAAAA"****
*** I HATE MONKEYS!
And Finally, reacting to TV spot about poaching ivory in Africa:
"Yeah, lets forget the millions of people trying to survive in one of the harshest climates on Earth while fighting disease and rival tribes daily. Because those Elephants and Rhinos DEFINITELY have it worse. Much worse"
We need to save the whales so Kirk doesn't have to go back in time to the 80's
What humans need is something higher up the food chain then them. Like me.
Furthermore, when you have mastery over basic grammar (something you distinctly lack), you may begin to take liberties with English. Until then, I suggest you stick to basic syntax.
No, actually, I do not. Despite having dyslexia, I find reading quite simple.
Look not to the mote in thy brother's eye, rather address the beam in your own.
You obviously lack the proper reading comprehension skills to understand the basics of exaggeration.
P.S.
Please read the following.

No. It is not exaggeration to say "I'm not crazy, I believe that mankind should be dominant over the other animals" is ethnocentric to the point of racism. It is not my lack of comprehension skills, it is your lack in communication skills.
What does your link have to do with the comment at hand?
Yes.
No.
Look at the firs time I replied to you. It has everything to do with what I talked about there. It even kind of has to do with the second quote of yours in this post too.
I hope that was all clear enough. I tried to keep it to as few works as possible to make it easy to understand.
What I don't care about....is Grammar TRIBBLE. Let's hunt them to extinction!
Sayeth the girl with the fuzzy wittle bunny in her lap.
Hort's in!!
-sharpens pitchfork-
I'm not a Grammar TRIBBLE. I just have a problem with people attempting to hide behind literary devices they clearly do not understand. I'm dyslexic so while, obviously, I would prefer sentences to be correctly structured; I do not expect the world to shape itself appropriately to my disability.
I don't make a habit of correcting people's grammar, nor do I feel that a badly formed sentence is any kind of problem. That is, of course, save when someone attempts to claim that their badly formed arguments are down to my lack of comprehension skills.
No. Your post had no resemblance in structure to Swift's article.
Swift's basic structure was satirical, yours was not.
Uh-yup.
Honestly? That's how I feel about Blue-Fin Tuna.
I devastate that tasty fish every chance I get, and along those lines don't want to see them die off.
Asking you to correct me was a fun little test.
You're going "Grammar TRIBBLE" on me over... COMMAS! ON THE INTERNET!
Plus the second two complaints of not understanding a few sentences are your fault for not understanding them. They're perfectly understandable. :rolleyes:
And plurality mistakes.
You know, using singular cases with plural nouns.
Silly little lack of agreement you had there.
No, they are not constructed correctly.
Whether or not they're understandable is irrelevant. They do not make grammatic sense.
Yeah, how we could go from "Grammar TRIBBLE" to TRIBBLE is a mystery to everyone. Also, mentioning Godwin's Law as if it means anything is both old and irrelevant in almost every matter.
I never said it did. Now you're reading stuff that isn't there.
Flamer say wut now?
Sum peepol just not ain't wurth it. Grammer Nazees going crazy over cawmas on da enterwebs.
Lighten up people, it's a gaming forum, for crying out loud.
As for the OP: I agree that it's sad to see species go extinct due to the effects of mankind. Long live George!!!
...Oh no. I used 3 exclamation points. I'm gonna fail this exam...
Uh huh huh. He said "Flamer"
Does it HONESTLY matter here on the internetz?
Seriously.
As long as the point gets across....does everything absolutely HAVE to be 100% correct according to some lame 10th grade english text book? No...Not really.
In the long run, obsessing about it doesn't help anything.
"I dunno Scully, I think theres something more to it that we're just not seeing. Some studies have shown this place has potentially addictive properties."
"Come on Mulder, you know thats all just rumors and pseudo science... ooh look another post in Ten Forward hold on I have to go check this..."
Side note....Do you think Scully ever wanted to punch Mulder sometimes?
