Population Explosion
- I no where say that humans are a disease. ANYTHING would be destructive if it's population got out of hand. The essence of a sustainable ecology is diversity. It is not our fault how we have grown without control, it is the result of a vision that states that everything must sustain humans. This vision, though we think it applies to us all, is not the essence of humanity. WE are not humanity.

Population Explosion
- our consumption and certainly our subsistence model are big factors, there are ways to slow the destruction and drag out the damage longer, but just like treating any problem eventually you have to treat the problem and stop medicating it. We cannot sustain this amount of people or our rate of growth. if our rate of growth was going to stop shortly rather then increase it may be sustainable, as it is we are still heading for extinction no matter how we slow it down

Population Explosion
- "go back to sleep america, there's nothing to be afraid of here. your government has it figured out 13 billion is a fine number of people to have. don't look at our collapsing eco system, that isn't really happening. don't look at our diminishing fossil fuels, we have plenty of them. don't look at the fact that the world population has doubled without fail at an exponentially shorter span of time, last being in twenty years and bound to be less the next. Birth control hasn't done a thing to curb overpopulation this year, last year or the year before this, or ever but it's going to work this time. go back to sleep." are you fucking serious dangle? Do you honestly think 13 billion is a sustainable number of humans? We're going to be extinct inside of a couple decades at this rate. I expect better from you. I can't stand the fact that you are being so willfully ignorant.

The conception of religion. Vetis'...
- neither. I am indifferent. I observe it to be impossible for a god that interferes with human affairs to exist. I observe it to very unlikely that a creator god makes any sense, but it seems entirely possible, just very unlikely. if there is such a god then I don't care to think of him/her. I do not call myself athetist because that is a position that equates to saying there is NO god and that's my conviction. I doubt there is one given the evidence, but I don't care so it's not a conviction. agnostic implies that it can't be known, and I think it can be known that it's improbable.

Animal Rights Activists
- I don't place any lifeforms at any value higher then any other, except those I have some personal stake in. Vegetarianism is at it's heart and arrogant human endeavor. it is essentially saying: 'I am human and therefore above ecology. I for some reason think that life forms more similar to me are holy but I get to decide which life forms are not holy and which are so then I can be above eating a normal part of the diet of my species.' Animal rights activists are just like civil rights activists, there are a bunch of zealots that hurt the cause and make everything worse.

Morality Vetis' Spiritual Journey...
- if people instinctively know right from wrong then how do you explain cultures that routinely do things we think are 'wrong'? Are they misguided while we are not? Is there something internally flawed about them that they don't feel like certain things are wrong? Or is right and wrong a matter of culture and it is acceptable to say we do not all have the same idea of right and wrong

Morality Vetis' Spiritual Journey...
- what I meant is that many people look to their faith to settle moral dilemmas. That is to say nothing about what they 'know' is right or wrong, which rather then being innate I think is a part of our culture that resonates with us so often that by the time we are of an age of reason we have been conditioned as to what is culturally justified.

Christianity Me, Vetis' Spiritual...
- indeed. I've actaully met some pastors who will give you a pretty solid argument to the point that it comes down to: they believe the bible is the word of the holy spirit and I don't. Even though I make a good point about how it fits in as a historical human document, they still think so. that's belief for you, the rejection of evidence
