You know, the worst thing about bears is that they eat all those berries, you know, to cleanse the palate after chowing down on some toddler. Think of how much lower the costs of various berries would be without these filthy wretches artificially lowering the supply.
When I read threads like this, or threads on banning drive throughs, on banning this, banning that, well I come to the conclusion that a lot of people simply have too much idle time at their disposal.
Yeah...about 30 years ago the parents of these thread-starters should have found something better to do...

Without bears you'd just be eating a bunch of e. How boring.

Quite honestly we should be praising bears and building shrines to their great service to the environment.
Every year millions of cute, fuzzy little penguins are killed by large bluberous creatures. No, I'm not talking about overweight people, I'm talking about the devils own creation...the seal! Just imagine this scenario, you're a penguin, you're hanging out with your penguin pals, kinda waddling about cause, as a penguin, you can't run. Suddenly you hear this terrifying obnoxious honking thing, even more quickly a horrendously chunky creature, slobber and all is charging you. Not so cute now is it?
Bears have already been helping with this problem for years. They are the spirits of vengeance that strike down the sinful creatures known as "seals."
The Canadian government has granted you an oppurtunity to put an end to these heinous crimes against penguins, the real question is are you pro penguin or just a terrible excuse for a human being?
I think the choice is clear...help a bear, save a penguin, club a seal.

This is a brilliant and well thought out topic indeed. After reading through the whole thing I had to go back and read the first post to see if this is a joke or not and to my amazement, Dess really does seem to be truthful in his insane feelings towards exterminating all bears!
With that in mind, a couple of posts in this thread came to mind. Somebody said he must be just a kid being stupid or something along those lines to which I agreed this is probably the case. Another, Russic I believe, stated that he's only called a poster an idiot twice and was sure Dess was the victim in both incidents. The final comment that stands out was that he probably has a camper trailer and there's no reason for this ridiculousness.
What boggles my mind about the whole topic is that this is a guy who can afford to have the luxuries of a trailer to enjoy "camping" in his free time, so it can probably be assumed he has a good job or worse yet, owns his own business, yet doesn't have the intelligence to refrain from making such unbelievable statements. My Chinese wife for example, is actually a little scared of moving to Canada because of the bears to which I've explained that they are really no danger at all if you treat them with respect and leave them be, but at no point in 5 years has she ever suggested we should just render them extinct! lol
I even knew a kid that was mauled by a grizzly when we were in grade 5 together (man, that's a LOOOONG time ago) and it never occured to me that killing all the bears is a suitable reaction! Just insane if this isn't a joke, and like I said, after reading his first post again, I really don't think it was meant to be.
I "bumped" into a younger, smallish (maybe 400 pounds) cinnamon bear on a cutline while dirtbiking in the Oldman headwaters area last year.
It seen me come over the crest of the trail and stopped to look at me.
I came over the top and stopped to look at him.
Well he took off running, strait up the freakin mountain, busting saplings off at the base while he fled. While hes doing this, he lost all control of both his bladder and bowels, crap and piss was flying everywhere while he bawled for momma.
Now if we go and kill all the bears, Ill have nothing to laugh at.
