What we are doing to the planet we are living on?

[TirexMan]

Hi everyone, I am new to this forum. I have a question and would like to see where everyone stands on this.
Lets compare the world as a whole to a smaller place in an ecosystem. Lets say the maximum amount of deer in particular alloted, closed off forest, is 200. This forest supports 200 deer stability for a long period of time because of the self supporting ecosystem. Lets say a huge amount of food is dumped in that forest that only the deer eat. So the deer breed out of control and eat all the food, that food is gone and with a population of 2000 deer all the rest of potential food will be gone also. So the deer starve and die in huge quantities and after the damage they did on the environment, it supports only 20 deer now.

Since this same logic can be applied to humans and the world, why would we be worrying about something as seemingly trivial as abortion being legal or not? shouldn't space exploration be a bigger priority? Or at least more of an attention to what we are doing to the planet we are living on?

I really ask this because I do not understand your positions on this. Please help me here.

P.S. Sorry If wrong place!

Greetings Friend!, In this forum there are alot of different people with different views on the environment, and the way the world works. In my opinion, life goes in cycles, just as the Earth rotates around the Sun. Deer was a good example for me anyway I was raised in upstate NY and we had just that very problem, deer over population. So needless to say hunting season was extended and more permits were given out. If we dont take care of what we have, we are going to loose it eventually. Im not saying it will be in 10 years 100 years or even 1000 years as the world works right now its going through some natural and some un-natural changes.

When you look upon us as humans, we are consumers, and we are doing a small part in damaging this planet, some people think we are doing a huge part and in some ways they make a good point, in others I think not so much. The worst toll on this planet in my eyes is the damage our environment does to its self. Id be more worried about the methane leaking from a volcano, than some carbon emissions from my car. Our Planet over millions of years has seen some good times and some bad, but hey, what can you do about it? We as humans are nothing but a tiny little moment in our earths existance. and more than likely just as the earth did to the dinosaurs, we may end up extinct at some point, all you can do is hope its not during our lifetime.

So with some words of advice, enjoy your life, enjoy the time you have here. make the best of every day, keep a smile on your face and a pint in your hand if you feel the need :-D and hey, maybe take a trip to the Caribbean ;-)

Ah, what does it matter anyway? The Mayan calendar predicts the world will end in Dec. 2012.

Life is short...and we're all gonna go sometime...I say take a vacation!
