How to damage your brand in one smooth shot - Way to GoDaddy

There is an oversupply of humans and an undersupply of space. Killing a lone human male is no problem.

I find it sad that a lot of damage is done to the ecosystem and to other animals (which may not be as pretty as humans) because some groups (such as the UN) opposed human culling.

How long does it take for a tree to grow? How long for a beautiful Baobab? Do you know how quickly a human fucks up a tree? Humans are not an endangered specie –they are often a plague (due to limited natural predators, long life expectancy and the availability of water).

And unfortunately due to stupid laws (making hunting difficult and other requirements) it is very expensive for private game farms to have humans.

I fail to see how anyone opposes human culling can label himself as an ecologist.

This satirical response only applies if you value human lives and elephant lives equally.

So true. The Bible says that we are created in God's image and that God gave us domain to do whatever we like to animals... just so long as we don't attempt to copulate with them. It should be a crime to even hint that an animal's life could be valued as a human life... Except for my trusty dog companion. </sarcasm>

Sorry if I actually subscribe to that belief. Neither did God give humans a free pass on torturing less valued species. Animals are given as a resource much like trees and oil. Animals also happen to have some capacity for emotion and intelligence. Since they are similar to us in some way we should respect them, lest we become callus with the taking of intelligent life.

As for pets, it's a cultural thing that we don't eat pets. The bible cautions against following culturally aberrant activities provided doing so doesn't infringe on your service to God.

I would hope you will have some respect for other peoples' beliefs in the future.

(Sorry if I am less than clear, I'm typing this on my iPad and I can't edit stuff in text boxes very easily.)

Some beliefs don't deserve respect.

Look, you can be a smartass and try to criticize other's beliefs. But at least know what the beliefs of others are.

Criticizing a group of people based on your own naivety of their beliefs is both ignorant and arrogant.

Many passages in the Bible explain that humans are stewards of nature.

Tragically enough, in Africa humans have natural predators.

AIDS/HIV is just a tool, like claw. The predator here is just another human who spreads the virus.

Yes very droll. If a human was destroying the food supply of the village then things would probably end badly for them too.

Probably not being killed for meat though but YMMV.

This is a bit snarky, but I think it does represent a valid way of looking at things.
