<div class="IPBDescription">Are we the cancer of mother earth?</div> we are overpopulated... produce pollution that is slowley killing us and our world... consume resources and move onto next area like a virus... yet somehow we keep on surviving though the ages...

image a ruler of about 100 cm in height... leave it for a day to rest standing upwards... now to cheak how long humanity has been on earth, blow the dust off the top... theres ur answer... yet we have destoryed our world faster than any ice age, predator or super diease...

man created things that we use to make our lives better and help us survive... but if these ppl who discovered herbs, penecilin etc never existed... man would have no place to ruin the world...


now heres the truley evil part of the thread... we are a cancer, but y are we here? is our purpose to simpley survive or have some big off war with some other 'cancer' from another world... who knows.... maybe u now... <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->

This topic, somehow, in some way, feels distinctinctly familar.

Now where would I have seen this before hmmmmm...

Here's a comforting thought:

Don't be too worried about the environment. There have been several mass extinctions over the course of our planet's history, the most known of them being the one that knocked the dinosaurs out of the picture forever. The by far most destructive one of these was the permian mass extinction, in which approximately 95% of all life on earth was wiped out and the planet was rendered rather inhospitable by a series of volcanic eruptions and a possible well-aimed sizable asteroid from the heavens.

Consider for a moment that our beautiful little planet managed to survive all that and produce more life. Now, whatever we can do to it will most likely be completely nullified by the next New York sized space rock headed this way. The thought is actually very soothing, since it gives hope that when some event finally shows up that wipes out atleast the most of humanity, Earth will still be here afterwards, trying to produce the next big thing like a talking cockroach, or perhaps a gigantic psionic bunny complete with easter themed fur. Let's just hope that the next ones in line to mutter "I think, therefore I am" will think again before crawling up from the sea.

Wouldn't it be weird if we are "the second" and there has already been a race of technology freaks? We might find a huge metal plate buried in the moons surface telling us this and that. That would be cool. Oh yeah and what if the human species survives 'by it's neck,' as you may say, realizing before it's too late the effects we are having on the environment, and we live another 10,000 years? That would also be very cool.

That generation would be thinking the same things we are now but be even more worried because of all the new threats they revealed. In conclusion:

G-Man: It's time to choose.
