The Human Race

[Lindylou]

Not sure of the exact section where I should ask this question - - But: If the question of why should the human race NOT be destroyed - what would be your answer??

[Lindylou]

The NHS. Frank Sinatra. Riverdance. Fred Astaire. Sarah McLaughlan, Diana Gabaldon. SO many others!!!! Please, what are your thoughts?

The problems is, for all the "good" things you mention you have to mention the bad:

Wars, land mines, guns, pollution, over population, fanatical religions, greed, cruelty, the extinction of animals, the destruction of the rain forrests, drug dealers, and much much more.

We humans think we are the most intelligent creatures on earth, and in some ways we are, but in many many others ways we are not.

This planet would have a longer more pleasant future if all the humans died out and it was left to the rest of the animals to live here into the future.

That despite all the badness in the world that veryhelpfulguy mentions, and some, there is so much to live for.....love being the strongest in my mind. So long as someone out there loves me, whether it's a parent, a sibling, a friend or a lover, then life is worth saving.

To answe the question,

There isn't one.

Just to cheer you up ... it will inevitably happen one day.

The earth might get hit by a large asteroid or something; or a super-volcano eruption would do the trick.

Otherwise, we�ll have to wait until the sun begins to burn out, which is a few years away yet. Before that happens there could well be another problem ...
