Yeah sorry, if it's me or my children or these mosquitoes, I am going to pick my children.

The only reason you are so callous is because you imagine those dying as others, not you, your neighbors or loved ones.

Not going to keep replying, because I know you don't really believe these things when push comes to shove.




Picking the side of your children at the expense of an entire species is exactly the normal human behavior I speak of. We do any thing to better our interest even when this issue is very unlikely to impact the average human or their children.

Also It’s not as black and white as you’re painting it. I happen to see it both ways and side humans too because, why not? I am not team mosquito. (I think you’re mistaking me for someone debating with you, I just jumped in the thread to say I see there point, doesn’t mean I agree with it and it doesn’t mean they lack empathy. There is this thing called dark humor and it’s possible to hold that alternate view as a point of humor.) Also not returning to comment.
