Quoting: Kennible LecterThere's just too much hater going around to walk away from this unskaved. My question is: are you ready to face the biggest bitch-slapping mankind has ever seen? What's funny is reading through these post you can pretty much see who's not going to make it. They're pretty easy to identify. What do you mean "mankind"? The non-Western world is doing fine, growing 5 to 10%/year |

General Troll, US Shillitary User ID: 1307432 United States 07/13/2011 11:35 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | People use the term fittest without understanding the concept. Darwin wasn't referring to the biggest, strongest or the most aggressive, though sometimes those traits were most suited for survival. Fitness, at least in Darwinian terms means having characteristics best suited for a given set of conditions. Since its unlikely that you know what all of the conditions will be in the future in terms of environmental, social and political events, you are hardly in a position to judge who will survive and who will not. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1466202"What you have just said, is the most insanely idiotic thing I have ever heard. At no point, in your rambling incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points and may God have mercy on your soul." |

Life is a comedy to those who think, and a tragedy to those who feel. - Horace Walpole |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 1155690 United States 07/13/2011 12:10 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Yea.....no....not at all. Look at africa. Whole thing is a hell hole..... also has 1 BILLION people. Thousands of diseases, and cripples. Lol, survival of the fittest. Heck if you didn't know, back in the prehistoric times weand our neanderthal cousins took care of our sick and disfigured. But hey, keep on thinking it's going to be "survival of the fittest" even though that term simply can't be applied to humanity anymore, we have elevated beyond such ideas. and I'm not kidding..... |

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1466202I understand perfectly. So let me ask you this: I can obtain and purify my own water. I can hunt, fish and grow my own food. I was trained in the U.s. Armed forces as a field medic and am very well stocked with supplies. You, obviously, are not simply because you would prefer to shot holes in my post rather than agree that people should prepare for disaster. Now who do you think is going to survive comfortably.
