Is Science Good Or Bad?

[Guest]

There could be hundreds or thousands of silver lining if bigfoot was to be proven. A couple I can think of is medical discoveries & cures, minimizing logging (forcing us to use more recycled materials), and protecting our national forests even moreso (Thank you, Theodore Roosevelt). Maybe then this country could finally make a limit-law for human breeding -- The population is exploding and tearing down the wild woods.

And if BF was to be proven, the government would for sure step in immediately, and I'm 100% sure they'd ban bigfoot hunting and put a stiff penalty on it for doing so. Killing a wild ape-man? -- Come on, us Americans and Canadians aren't like that. Congress goes by what the people want, for the most part, and the people won't want bigfoot hunted. They have laws from everything from fish to squirrels to bears -- Why wouldn't they mandate bigfoot -- And I can gaurantee you that they won't allow for hunting bigfoot unless it was proven that they're a danger to humans or are overpopulated, and I don't see that happening (killing bigfoot) for a few hundred years, if ever.

Is science a bad thing when it comes to anything -- In my opinion, no, not for the most part.

Limits on human breeding? In this country? Sorry but the United States really isn't where this needs to be addressed. Actually the myth of overpopulation and the lie that we are at unsustainable levels is nothing but propaganda pushed by radicals who look at humans as a kind of plague that is infecting the planet. Humans are not cockroaches. We were put in charge of this planet to take care of it. We are not a scourge that needs to be eliminated to save it. You could take every living person on the entire planet right now and they would all fit inside the state of Texas. Yes we do need to be mindful of our resources, and do our best to eliminate pollution as best we can, but we are hardly at the castatrophic level that we are led to believe. I definitely do support everyone who feels that there is way too many people on the planet, and that depopulation needs to occur. Those who feel the population needs to be culled, feel free to volunteer. Let see them step up and do what they feel is right for the planet. Oh wait, their lives are much too valuable for that.

^ I'm not going to get into that debate. This thread isn't for that topic but I will say this -- You usually can't go more than 10 miles in this country before seeing another person. Usually. If we don't watch it, we're going to drastically explode in population within the next 200 years after 6 or 7 more generations. My The-End of that arguement. It doesn't need to derail this thread.

I bet if Bigfoot was overpopulated, we'd be seeing more of them more often

Yeah me either, just sayin. It's cool

Not knowing how many of them exist; getting the first one counted has been the tuff part, it's hard to say. I believe Meldrum estimated 6,000 in the US and Canada--dunno where he got the figure from, but.....logically speaking, the more of em the most likely to see one.

I agree. The more the are, the more we will see them, but what will be the indicator that they are overpopulated?

[Guest]

The survival of a species........any species is at a far greater risk here in North America if it has no recognition or protection from the Federal government.

Mosquitoes have no protection from the feds, yet they are thriving.

When there are so many that they must move from the forests and into cities, breaking into homes, raiding people's fridges, planting their big behinds on our sofas and bringing their Bigfoot baby-mamas and daddies with them!

[Guest Peter O.]

And when/if they become overpopulated, will it be ethical to kill them?

[Guest Twilight Fan]

^No. It is not ethical to kill anything, unless the thing wants to be killed. Otherwise, it is never ethical to kill.

[Guest]

There are ethical ways to hunt.

[Guest Twilight Fan]

Some ways of hunting are more ethical than other ways.

i.e. it is less painful for a deer to be killed by a single bullet in the head than a bow and arrow.

But killing in and of itself is NOT ethical.

There are ethical ways to hunt.

Are there ethical ways to hunt Homo spp.?

Just opening the can of worms

We're WAAAAAY off topic here people.

Please return to the subject. There are plenty of other places on the internet to discuss over-population and the like, and plenty of other places in this forum to discuss the ethics of hunting. This topic is about Science and Bigfoot. Stick to that, please.

Speaking of sticking to the topic, Mike...you just gave me a cooky idea!

Question to all: What do yeh reckon' Bigfoot thinks of science? Do you think these creatures have any concept of it, as did some ancient cultures like the Mayans? There is something to ponder...
