Rhinos extinct in Mozambique, again

[Admiral Yi]

Don't you think some smart cookie would go into the rhino farming business?

No kidding, right?  If the simpleton fucktards in the East and the ME want to maintain an ivory supply to sprinkle on their morning oatmeal for better hard-ons or to make their goofy trinkets, you'd think somebody would've come up with a plan for the controlled harvesting of ivory producers, like tree replacement programs.  Because once it's gone, it's gone.

That might be possible if there was enough courage in the civilized world to recolonize Africa.

[Eddie Teach]

Unlivable for people might be livable for smaller animals.  And it's not like people can really damage the habitability of the Earth in the long term.

Aren't you the one always going on about how some jihadist is going to eventually crash a space ship into the earth at high velocity? Couldn't a strong enough collision make the earth lose its atmosphere? That's what the meteor crash simulators say.

That's beyond current technology.

The problem with Africa is that it's full of Africans?

[Eddie Teach]

Sure, but the death of humanity is not imminent.

I'll pass on the Prima Nocta.

To some degree.  The real problem is the lack of government control.  If Africa were either still colonized or allowed to develop into nation-states, things would probably be better.

[Razgovory]

The real problem with Africa is that it's tough place to live.  Bad climate, bad soil, full of diseases.  Africa never developed strong states because there just wasn't enough excess wealth to really subjugate tribal leaders (not to mention enemy tribes).

[Eddie Teach]

Don't overgeneralize, west Africa had several strong states.

The fact that humans evolved there and are best adapted to its climate makes me doubt this hypothesis.

Lots of things are well adapted to live there.  That's why we got the fuck out.

Mind you, Africa did form up some strong but primitive states.

Why? Most of Eurasian history is strong ethnicities trying to get the fuck out of the steppe. Pressures of living in Africa might have given us some advantages.

[Queequeg]

A better example would be the colonization of South America by Eurasian-North American animals after the continents collided.
