Jeanette X I have got to start wearing bug repellent. I keep getting eaten alive every fucking time I go out to weed the front garden. They even show up on drizzly days for a free meal.

Evil Robot cockroaches in NYC drive cars, they cant be killed to the point of extinction.

Esuohlim Pfft. Those damn cockroaches can survive a nuclear blast. I think they can take care of themselves.

Ahhh ... like a mosquito is attracted to the light. You're comment was both anticipated and amusing.

SAVE THE COCKROACH!!

Johnny Horton We need mosquitos because in sixty million years time the only relic of human DNA will be in a mosquito trapped in amber and the new dolphin race will be able to recreate us using advanced cloning techniques in a theme park called "Clone-o Sapiens™" and we shall break free and run rampage before eventually being outwitted by the dolphin children.

wreckreation globalization globalization globalization. Wanna bet that big business benefits more from anything that occurs than the people effected?

Sethomas I think I heard years ago that to do away with mosquitos would probably cause mass die-outs of bat populations, which in turn would fuck up all kinds of shit. But then again, they are annoying little boogers.

Evil Robot While were at it we should get rid of the nigg..... I mean african americans too.

Esuohlim It's about fucking time. I've lost more blood to mosquitos than I could if I slit both my wrists.

SLjimbo Yeap, I'm for mosquito genocide. Not that the West Nile Virus is a major threat yet, it's at least a good reason to kill 'em off.

Considering the fact that mosquitos kill a HELL of a lot more people than bear attacks, don't you think that is a rather unfair judgement of motives?

Rev. Danno What about Bears? Can we start to kill bears? I was at the Zoo a few weeks back...they don't do anything, they smell bad, & there are much cooler predetors we could release in there place, like tigers!
hell yeah! I want tigers replacing bears all over the place, even in books, movies, products, & old folk-lore!
Bears are stupid, Tigers ROCK!!!
What was this thread about?
Jun 24th, 2003 03:52 PM
Jeanette X If there is no negative ecological impact from doing so, I would be for it. However, I would suggest preserving some of the larvae for study.

FS I was going to make a remark about the food chain and the natural habitat, but apparently that's covered in the article. Hey, if there's no dangerous consequences, super.

The Extinction of the Mosquito

This is an interesting article.

http://www.popsci.com/popsci/medicin...446128,00.html

A geneticist has devised a way to completely wipe out a species of mosquito. I am all for it. Mosquitos are worthless (as the article states they are neither a polinator or significant food source) and Malaria kills like 4 people a minute. Of course there will no doubt be plenty of enviromentalists up-in-arms over this...
