This is a forum where debate takes place. When you make idiotic statements that trees are better off without mankind and humans are parasites, you bet you're going to get challenged.
Maybe you should edit your your old adage to" if you don't have anything intelligent to say, don't say it.
And if that sounds pissy to you it isn't, I'm typing it with tears running down my cheeks from laughing at your ridiculous post!
Seriously... why does she and Tyrone think we are mad?! I’ve been laughing till my sides hurt at the FReeper comments. FReepers have the best sense of humor. Why is it when someone disagrees with a comment.. they are suddenly pissy, mad or rude?
How are those not true statements?
Would the Earth or all the trees die without humans? Nope.
Would humans die without the Earth or any trees? Yep.
It is the human who needs the Earth, not the other way around. It is the human who needs the trees, not the other way around.
You can think that is hippie drivel all day long for all I care, because that is what you have been taught.
However, it is the truth, whether you like it or not. This planet does not need your lawn or your trash or your car or any of the things that make your life easier. You are a parasite and if that offends your delicate sensibilities as an all important human being well then I suppose you just refuse to see the biological picture that is life on this planet.
A parasite is any organism that lives on another organism and benefits from it. An organism is a living thing. Now, I would think you would agree that the Earth is not a dead planet, so if it is not dead then it must be living. Thus, humans are parasites on the Earth.
I guess people have to see themselves as being important and necessary. But that is not the case.
I didn't take issue with you disagreeing with me, or even challenging what I believe. I took issue with you being rude about it. It is just not necessary.
