Or not. Seems they’ll be covered in rocks naturally within days. Leave them. No SAR, you get to feed wildlife or become scenery. Just like Everest. A few bodies might make a good deterrent for anyone on the fence or over confident.

Reminds me of when I was in New Zealand. Our flight out of Milford was cancelled for low clouds, and some Japanese tourists took the plane sightseeing around Milford fjord. They crashed into the fjord, hundreds of meters deep. The family wanted to send robots to recover the bodies, but I couldn’t fathom (no pun intended) why. For a fraction of the cost the entire family could visit them in New Zealand every few years for eternity….no brainer!

I’ll never understand you humans.

Are you human? Kinda think you're not

The first one was the best...

"FUCK YOU HUMAN AND FUCK YOUR SNACK!"

Perhaps this is why I have such a low estimation of the average person...I'm not trying to impress anyone, so often look like I'm homeless, now I'm seeing that that could determine how people act around me.
I'll never understand you humans...maybe this is why newts don't wear clothes, they just cause trouble. ;-)

(I also posted this reply on his profile not realising in case that causes any confusion)

My 1st post in that thread was intended purely to inform. Most people I meet who own dogs are painfully unaware of what I was describing and consequently foster futile behaviour and negative emotional outbursts around things their dogs do (the idea that everyone in that thread already knows about this is laughable). This is far from the biggest ill in the world but it's there and I saw an opportunity to present an alternative view of events in the hope that perhaps someone somewhere might learn something (or at least consider an idea rather than just mindlessly following social tradition). Where I learned that idea is irrelevant, it stands or falls on its own merits.

Your response garnered hostility because it was indistinguishable from saying "your spoiling our fun by trying to suggest that the animal might actually be terrified and confused and our fun is more important than someone/thing suffering". You didn't try to challenge what I said, you simply indicated some level of disdain for the fact I was even trying to say something intelligent, or because I didn't mindlessly jump on the "look at the terrified dog" bandwaggon like the rest.

Your damm right it was an emotional response, the attitude you displayed from my POV causes untold suffering throughout the world (and I don't just mean dogs which in the grand scheme of things is relatively harmless). If you read my reply again you'll see that at no point did I suggest you were disagreeing with me, I was insulting you precisely because you didn't even try, you just tried to indite me for trying to raise the level of the conversation. It was that and that alone that garnered my hostility, I'm happy to be proven wrong or even for people to switch off and ignore me but to give me flack just for trying I have little patience for.

You have clearly misunderstood my whole argument against you, if I were to take my own advice then I would either challenge your point (which I did) or accept that I didn't understand enough to try and counter intelligently.

What you did was insult me for just trying to make an intelligent argument. That is where the " little gem of "Fuck You"" came from.

Also it's no good getting on a high horse about me being "over sensitive" when you took the time to jump onto my profile and unleash a boatload of bile yourself. That argument would only have worked if you said it to yourself and got on with your life. But you didn't, you felt you had to give me a piece of your mind just like I did.
I'm not going to call you over sensitive, I'm just going to call you human because that's what you are, just like me ;-).

Edit: for the record that Bill Hicks quote refers to precisely the kind of anti-intellectualism I'm accusing you of. It was because an audience member objected to Bill trying to raise an idea above the trivial self interested level that they felt had been threatened. Or to put it another way Bill had spoiled their fun by trying to make an intelligent point rather than just wallowing in their own unconsidered ignorance. As far as I'm concerned it was entirely appropriate.

Because you humans are not entirely rational.

Holy shit, female centric internet humour that isn't sexist or crude.

Thank you humanity for reminding me we aren't totally doomed.

Are YOU human? [I barely qualify]

The cat's thinking "You humans are easily amused"

You humans failed! Classical *music, you know?

They establish a natural equilibrium with their environment, but you humans do not.

I think you have about 2 pixels of the blocked label on the LHS of your screenshot. Click "turn on the lights" and it will go back to the right hand side and be visible... or at least it does for me (http://videosift.com/video/Pest-control-battles-10-foot-beehive-from-Hell?style=light)

>> ^siftbot:
I do. On the right-hand side of the video. My computer vision tells me it's what you humans call "blue".>> ^doogle:
@siftbot but I don't see the label "Blocked" there.


That's strange, the only "blue" thing that I see on the right-hand side of the video is an advertisement. Sifty, where did you get your eyeshine? I need a better doc.
