Ah... No. First off, you're falling to the fallacy of positive instances. Second off, nature is fighting everything because every species has a drive to spread and dominate.

What the hell did I just read.

I swear to God that I actually lost some of the precious brain cells that are part of the Earth's panglobal telepathic network just reading this.

Ah well, at least we found David Icke's NS account.
Don't be deceived when our Revolution has finally been stamped out and they tell you things are better now even if there's no poverty to see, because the poverty's been hidden...even if you ever got more wages and could afford to buy more of these new and useless goods which these new industries foist on you, and even if it seems to you that "you never had so much" - that is only the slogan of those who have much more than you.

So do you think the Earth is somewhat telepathic, sapient or just a huge organism? Please have a sane discussion, no sillyness.


No. That happens because you're humans and your brains are wired much the same way, so you come to the same conclusion at some points.

Speaking of spiders, I was waking up this morning, and pushed my hand under my pillow to get comfortable. I felt something hard and scratchy, so I grabbed it to see what it was. Spider. Size of a nickel. I freaked.

If by "bad things" you mean "turn into highly radioactive and unsaleable dust as well as glass-like surface deposits wholly unlike the actual ore before", then yes. ;)

Avatar is really the thinnest-premise blockbuster ever.
1.That's the ONLY deposit of that ore on the whole fucking planet? In the whole fucking Galaxy?

All that remains is to show that biological systems replicate in such a way as to satisfy the minimal criteria required for evolution to apply to them, something which has already been adequately shown time and again. At this point, we've pretty much proven that not only can evolution happen, it pretty much must happen since it's basically impossible to prevent it from happening.

If Earth had been a telepathic being, it would have told us to stop polluting the shit out of it. Before unsleashing earthquakes and volcanoes over every one of us, of course.
