+81 You have to wonder if we are really qualified to help those in need in undeveloped countries; if 1/3 of all humans can cause global warming, imagine what the entire population can do. If we help the poor beat poverty and they become as egoistic as us, we’re not giving them a better future, we’re screwing over the whole planet, amirite?

Let's find more excuses not to help people, this is fun!

You have to wonder if not killing purple zebras for fun is really such a bad thing. I mean a mammal that big shouldn't be a bright, flashy color like purple anyway. They just draw attention to themselves. They'll just be forced into a zoo where they will take away all the attention away from the other animals, especially black/white zebras, who will eventually be lead to suicide and extinction. DO YOU WANT WHITE/BLACK ZEBRAS TO BE EXTINCT?

Then how about you and your family live in poverty if you're so concerned about the environment, and let the people in poverty live your lifestyle.

This is horrible and selfish logic.

Okay, I am NOT trying to say that we should just let everyone die while we enjoy our wealth. What I meant is that if we don't help the planet by being a more ecological and a less egoistic society, it doesn't matter what we do. We can find a cure for AIDS and drinking water for everyone, but it won't matter, because the process of global warming will be accelerated as the number of polluters increases and in the end we'll all be dead. Right now, we're like blind people teaching others how to become surgeons. They'll get their good lifestyles, but what about the patients, which would be every other species of the world? We absolutely have to improve as a society, or at least find a way to avoid transmitting some of our habits. For example, I'm not saying that we should stop building houses in poorer countries, but that we should make sure to build perfectly ecological houses.
