nobody is going to be concerned with the fking animals on this planet except the same people who have always worried about them. You know, the peta members, the farmers, the animal lovers?

Farmers don't really care about animals, they care about money [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

What the hell is that religious doomsday crap video you posted Taxi? Has no bearing in this thread... We're talking about mans self destruction, not some hokey 'zomg jesus gunna zap us' nonsense.

funfact: time and the universe will eventually cease to exist; it matters not to the cosmos whether we are around for 5 more years or 5 million more years. =)

I'm so glad I'm a vegetarian and only shop organic.
Shit's so contaminated nowadays....

Are you talking about the end of life, or the end of existence? Assuming that there is an existence outside of the mind, how can existence cease to exist?

Also, organic food contributes to world hunger [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

lol, I've never considered you much of a troll till this post Taxi. All fanatics are fools, regardless of which side of the ball you sit on.

There are less funding cuts to nasa because of religion than healthcare, bailouts or pay raises for the jack asses in Washington.

All our eggs are in a basket called earth, and im not sure what kind of catastrophic event its gonna take for humanity to get its shit together.

Actually, you're taking the environmentalists at their word that things are getting worse. In reality, if you look at the trends (rather than cherry picking short durations like they do) things have improved in most areas since the movement started in the 70s. The environmental lobby is BIG MONEY and, like all things, they need to stay on the doom and gloom message or the money pipe will slow to a trickle.

Sure there are setbacks (like the BP debacle, and for me the jury is still out on Global Warming) but the news is good on most fronts - read "The Skeptical Environmentalist" or see this Wikipedia page:

Very controversial work, but makes a lot of sense that the scientists are chasing their grants and the environmentalists are chasing their donations, so it's understandable that the opposition has been fierce, but the work has stood up to scrutiny.

the universe will either die of entropy or collapse, depending on who you ask. In either outcome, time and existence as we understand it will cease. One or the other (or both) are going to happen with 100% probability, and either outcome will mean the eradication of anything even vaguely resembling life in the universe, so for our purposes the difference is not significant.

Also, play around with this neat little flash animation and then come back and try to tell me anything the human race does will ever matter:

Not as much as livestock does.
