yo mama Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 and foreign introduced species don't always work out so well do they? Just ask the Native Americans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde assault Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 Just ask the Native Americans. I thought that worked out pretty good, for you and me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yo mama Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 (edited) I thought that worked out pretty good, for you and me. We've had a pretty good run these last couple hundred years. Unfortunately, we don't seem to have learned from the Native American's mistakes. Edited May 13, 2009 by yo mama Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retrograde assault Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 we don't learn from our own mistakes, why would we learn from somebody else's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you suggesting that the cheap blankets I just bought from China contain smallpox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cre8tiff Posted May 13, 2009 Share Posted May 13, 2009 If these parasitic flies start getting out of hand, we can just release a bunch of the radioactive spiders, right? First thing that comes to mind is what do these flies eat when they run out of fire ants? Adaptation has been know to happen, you know.
