Nah were not special in fact i think human culling would be interesting at least it would mix things up a bit and make some good entertaining chaos. I know make it a lottery that every one has to take every decade once there 18 or older ^_^.Murray Whitwell said:
Random off topic point, It's interesting to note that Mordin Solus is actually against pointless waste of life. He always vouches for the logical approach to a problem, but balks at simply killing innocent people, (As evidenced by his reaction to the corpse on Tuchanka.)Reet72 said:

Its a balance thing, other species depending on their habitat can cause chaos if they are introduced into another enviroment. Which is why some countries can be very strict about what kind of animal is let in.Murray Whitwell said:
Culling is also used to protect animals from themselves. When their numbers grow too large, they risk depleting their environment of resources and slowly starve themselves out. They might move on to greener pastures as the phrase goes, but then that serves to only displace the problem and possibly drive another niche of animals to extinction.Merkavar said:
I'd like to point out that livestock alone count towards over 18% of the world's green house gas emissions. That's more than those produced via transportation and industry. Seems like culling animals would be a GOOD thing. Besides, as we're purportedly more "dangerous to the planet's wellbeing", doesn't that conversely give us more potential to save the planet than the other animals? I'd think developing more earth friendly technology or looking into colonizing space would be far more effective for us as a species and the Earth than culling.Murray Whitwell said:
Homo Sapiens is a cancer on the biosphere. Unless it's completely killed off, it'll grow back. Sabotaging it's reproductive patterns will keep it at a level which doesn't harm the planet.Murray Whitwell said:
However, some countries have overpopulation problems. It's not that I'd ever consider culling, but let's say you and I were entities entirely detached form the human race, with no emotional ties to humans greater than what we feel to elephants or gophers: Wouldn't we think some places, the human race needed culling?chiefohara said:
Mate, that's a bit egotistical isn't it? I mean, who knows. If we dropped off the face of the world, who is to say that a new species will rise up and evolve.Valkyrie101 said:
To evolve to our level and potential, they'd have to do the same things, so it would make no difference. All I'm saying is, there's nothing intrinsically special about Earth.Tomo Stryker said:
The audacity of this train of thought that humanity is the focal point of existence is the reason why some would elect to "cull" the human species. Honestly, it'd be best if humanity as a whole was extinguished, but striving towards such a goal would prove futile and counterproductive to my own existence. I lack an answer to solve the problem that is humanity, but it certainly is troubling. I would prefer if you would not add to my dismay by making such dismal statements.Valkyrie101 said:
Neither am I, I'm sure there are other planets out there that are ripe to be colonized. I guess from your standpoint it makes sense, but why should you or I care? We will be long dead before that even occurs.Valkyrie101 said:
Or you could stop posting on this particular forum and go back to doing whatever it is that you were doing before this, like destroying the world or breeding to much, or better yet being human.zedel said:
