$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mortifiedpenguin', 'W')e are the SAME FUCKING SPECIES!!!!! What the hell is wrong with everyone?
Every species exhibits some degree of hostility towards other members of it's species. These hostilities are radically increased by overpopulation. Put 100 wolves into a one acre pen and watch what happens.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mortifiedpenguin', 'W')HAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH US?????????
Nothing's wrong with us. Our planet is radically overcrowded(infested?) with humans and we are responding to the very healthy instincts that nature gave us to try and rectify the problem. The only thing wrong with us is that the breeders are popping out children faster than the wars can kill them off.

I cant find the quote, but it goes something like: Nice people fit in with (or it might have been accept) their environment, nasty people make the environment fit around them. Therefore, all progress comes from nasty people.
Some nasty people have really big visions, and that leads to really big bad things, like bombs and wars.

It looks to me as though the poor chap has just been watching the evening news more than he is buying into the "alarmist pessimist take" here at PO.com. Maybe CNN can track him down.
Besides, just a few days earlier, in another thread we find: $this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('mortifiedpenguin', 'I') believe in Peak Oil. What I don't believe in is a Peak Oil Grand Depression. ... I just don't believe it's going to end like this. We have so many sources of alternative energy. Biodiesel, solar, wind, hydro, nuclear, ethanol, hydrogen, coal, natural gas, geothermal- the list goes on. Granted, we still need to do a lot more research into these things (especially hydrogen, which is a big waste so far), but we're researching these alternatives every day. ... And I wish you all well in the future.
Coming Peak Oil Grand Depression
So if he has gone over the deep end, then it seems more likely because he bought into the naive cornucopian take on peak oil.
