Careful, See. A lot of people know that cardboard is 0 points on Weight Watchers (not to mention rich in dietary fiber). _________________ "The one concession a sane man will never yield the universe is that of considering it seriously."

Yes, but those are people on Weight Watchers, thus they can be easily outran. Or if it comes down to it, distracted with barbecue. _________________

Don't worry, See, I've decided to spare you because you provide me with laughter after a hard day of endlessly writing pointless facts that I will probably never use in real life.

As the worldwide population of Tulsileafs is one, the IUCN has classified it as critically endangered. Thus, in most nations it is illegal to hunt any Tulsileaf. That sign is fraudulent and illicit. |

In that case, why'd you use the plural? How can a single Tulsileaf be in most nations, unless it's already been killed and divided equally amongst them?
In either case there should be no moral dilemma with hunting the majestic Tulsileaf. If there is just one then the species is already extinct as it cannot possibly breed, and thus can be hunted with only a modicum of guilt for the crimes of those who hunted the species before. If there are a multitude then they should be hunted to cull the slow and weak and thus strengthen the species as a whole by weeding out the genetically inferior. _________________

I made no such claim.

You should learn some biology before constructing your arguments. Tulsileaf can breed asexually. Noticed I used "it" instead of "he" or "she"?

It is clear by your remarks you are aware that hunting Tulsileaf is a crime. Yet you show no remorse and are eager to satiate your sadistic desires. People like you make me puke.
There was a time when herds of Tulsileaf could be found throughout the northern hemisphere. Tulsileaf was a staple food for many nomadic tribes and its skin was highly prized by royalty. Over-hunting took its toll and by the mid 20th century it's conservation status was endangered. By the 21st only one known individual could be found in North America. Still there are people who wish to hunt the last of this great species. A species which was once a symbol for powerful empires of Asia. The Tulsileaf is majestic indeed. |
