But there are billion upon billions of planets out there, we can't have just one?


I would not risk changing a thing, no hunger, no pizza threads! Just not worth the risk.

There's a reason we can't have nice things.

I get so tired of this cr@p. I don't see you volunteering. If you feel so strongly, why don't you be the first?

All in good time, son. Just be patient.

Religion. Absolutely.

Indeed. One thing we can be absolutely certain of is that nobody gets out of here alive.

I personally, would like to see pain, pestilence, and poverty diminish - if not disappear . .

I'm sure you know the story, but as a quick explanation to why I prefer ugly apples and lower crop yield over gettin rid of pests:

This! our f'ing with the world causes more problems than it fixes.

& I, tired of this crap. the ego centric missing that the ref is to the whole, & that a martyr fixes nothing. but thanks for showing you miss the point, can I guess you imagine (individual voluntary) recycling is a good thing too? hint, its existence only exacerbates the problem by leaving the foolish to imagine the problem has been tackled - when it hasn't even been really seen.

damn, humans mostly don't have the perspective to seperate the trees from the forest.


maybe nixing religion would suffice.. Imagine.

Talk about missing the point!

The question was what would we get rid of? Did he say pollution? Did he say war? Did he say uncontrolled consumption of resources? Did he say fossil fuels, strip mining, or habitat destruction? No. He says people. Now I am working to address those things, so I think he should contribute to fixing the problem he sees.

how about the element aluminum or bismuth? Anyone use bismuth?

I like bismuth, fascinating crystal forms.

ok, keep bismuth. It sounds useful.

Bismuth compounds account for about half the global production of bismuth. They are used in cosmetics; pigments; and a few pharmaceuticals, notably bismuth subsalicylate, used to treat diarrhea.[7] Bismuth's unusual propensity to expand as it solidifies is responsible for some of its uses, as in the casting of printing type.[7] Bismuth has unusually low toxicity for a heavy metal.[7] As the toxicity of lead and the cost of its environmental remediation became more apparent during the 20th century, suitable bismuth alloys have gained popularity as replacements for lead. Presently, around a third of global bismuth production is dedicated to needs formerly met by lead.

how about polonium?
