Maybe not, but they do see the value of humanity in other ways. Here's a slightly different perspective that maybe will move you to a slightly happier space regarding humanity and our role.



This makes me want to continue living on this planet.

Good observation. Within the last few weeks I've just seen Moon and Gravity. In Moon you have a guy that's so bored out of his mind on the moon he grows plants in food containers and carves little communities out of wood and in Gravity you have the solitude of being lost in space. With our current technology that's the reality of space for us at the present time being cooped up inside a space station or ship as we aren't remotely close to Star Trek type space exploration. Give me the USS Enterprise and I'm all aboard.

I'd give just about anything to be cooped up on the ISS for a period of time. They'd never get me out of the cupola.

I am as guilty as anyone, but humanity deserves to be wiped out with how brutally we have abused this incredible planet.

The sooner the human race dies off, the better. If you consider the big picture.
Source on sustainability?

And yes I am aware I don't have to read but I was fascinated with the thread until it was ruined by a few posters blowing things out of proportion.

To be fair The Thread is tittled "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" - its kind of over the top in itself...

Thread is titled "I don't wan't to Live on This Planet Anymore"

Pylon agrees and everyone loses their minds!


And if you think the nation of China's appetite for Ivory, Rhinoceros Horns and Shark Fins isn't a problem we should care about that might fit the description - in the sense its such a big problem and so hard to fix making it very discouraging... Then I don't think I have much to say to you that would be polite.

If you break everything down to bare facts, the planet is a large chunk of rock and metal orbiting a giant ball of fusion. Whether or not people live on it has no bearing on the endurance on that chunk of rock and metal, and it will likely cease to be when the giant ball of fusion expands and overwhelms it.

I suggest you stop anthropomorphizing that large chunk of rock and metal.

NYPD cops confused Jolly Rancher candies for crystal meth: suit

Love Olantunjiojo, 25, was detained for around 24 hours after police found the sweets on him and a friend, the lawsuit says. The results from the NYPD lab found the red and blue 'crystalline rocks of solid material' were not a controlled substance, but Jolly Ranchers, the suit alleges.

This just seems bizarre

The planet will evolve and thrive regardless of human activity.

whoa Whoa! ... I'm going to stop taking the "I don't want to live on this planet anymore" thread quite as seriously, some ass hat just came in and made it all too real for me.

Raised my heart rate, I sweated a little... no more of that #####.

Not sure if this belongs here or not:

CNN and other internet sources have uncovered a souvenir scheme in China that seems like a sick joke, but isn’t. Live animals—turtles, fish, lizards and other amphibians—are being trapped in tiny plastic bags and sold as decorative key chains. Vendors claim that the bag contains crystallized oxygen and nutrients designed to keep the animals alive, but in reality, most die within a day or less due to oxygen deprivation.
