Vultures! Also going extinct

I don’t care about vultures.
Their “ecological job” can be done better by ants.
Here in South Africa they are almost extinct, mainly because they attack livestock to eat it.
It is, again, the survival of the one with guns and/or poison.
In time, sorry, no more vultures in South Africa.
Am I said about this?
No.

We are harming Earth quite a bit. Since the dawn of human civilization, we've been going been going through one of the fastest mass extinctions in the history of the planet.
However, I don't think technology is necessarily bad for humans, specifically, at least in the way you are describing. We are living in greater comfort and prosperity than our species has ever known. If we could discipline ourselves to limit and control our use of natural resources and our output of waste and various pollutants, then the benefits of technology will greatly outweigh the bad; it's a wonderful tool. I suppose we could just live the way you're describing, but that seems so lame to me, like we're really selling ourselves short. I don't want our species to live on subsistence farming, in little family units, for the rest of our existence; I want to us to spread across the universe, harnessing the power of stars, creating wormholes, discovering other planets with intelligent life forms......

However, all hockey fans would come to the fight armed with the canadian militaries best!

Silly soccer fans get what? shin guards? Clearly, the hockey fans have the technological edge in this war!

Wrong, you F$%$ing Aussie scum!!! Everyone knows he was shot down by a Canadian pilot, the same pilot who helped track down Albert Johnson in the Yukon. Canadians and Australians are just mad that they are still under the wing of England, who the US had to bail out of two world wars and numerous other problems dating back from 1812. England, in turn, would destroy Canada and Australia in a war with their soccer fans alone, much less unleashing one of their "forces".

Again with my subjective beliefs: This would be akin to China invading the US. We may have the technological upper hand but they would fucking overwhelm our asses.

PS: Hockey sticks have, what, a 5 foot range? Soccer balls can go up to 100 feet, so soccer players get a range boost. I guess hockey players have armor though... lol

And a slapshot with a hockey puck has the oppertunity to do some SERIOUS damage to an unarmored target

We'd stick all our Goalies as front-line shocktroops to absorb all the soccer balls!

(I really wanna see a soccer goalie stop a puck, actually... he'd probably do a diving "save" out of the fucking way, letting some poor sod behind him, catch it in the teeth)

Quality over quantity my friend. 1 hockey fan is easily comparable to 100 drooling soccer fans. Eye-wink

"PS: Hockey sticks have, what, a 5 foot range? Soccer balls can go up to 100 feet, so soccer players get a range boost. I guess hockey players have armor though... lol"

You forgot the puck. Cheaper to make, higher potential velocity, more damage per strike. And when ranged weapons are no longer useful, the sticks become weapons.

It's true. The puck has

It's true. The puck has already killed some, and maimed many. A Soccer ball is like a marshmellow next to a hockey puck.

Oh and the vultures.

Poor things. Really, you could put them to use and save a fortune in burial fees.

your OP was uninteresting and redundant, thus people stopped commenting on it fairly quickly. accept it.

we get it, julio: you don't care about a great many endangered species. fine. we've established that. now let's move on.

"I have never felt comfortable around people who talk about their feelings for Jesus, or any other deity for that matter, because they are usually none too bright. . . . Or maybe 'stupid' is a better way of saying it; but I have never seen much point in getting heavy with either stupid people or Jesus freaks, just as long as they don't bother me. In a world as weird and cruel as this one we have made for ourselves, I figure anybody who can find peace and personal happiness without ripping off somebody else deserves to be left alone. They will not inherit the earth, but then neither will I. . . . And I have learned to live, as it were, with the idea that I will never find peace and happiness, either. But as long as I know there's a pretty good chance I can get my hands on either one of them every once in a while, I do the best I can between high spots."
