"As for the bear, black bears don't think that way though grizzlies do. If
bears overpopulate, bear hunting season would be extended. There is no need
for bear genocide because the species is managed."
An interesting response given the point of my analogy. Which was that,
however fearsome the individual bear, as a collective, bears would have no
chance at all in managing to eradicate the human species. Hence the notion
of committing bear genocide shouldn't arise.
Meanwhile even if the Jovians are certainly capable of doing the deed, I
have my doubts that Fundamentalist Islam - as a whole - have either the
means or the will to carry out the threat. Given that, do you take the word
of one bear, one Jovian or one fundamentalist as matching the combined will
of each collective. If OBL says that he wants to eradicate western culture,
does that mean all of fundamentlist islam agrees with him? Let alone all of
Islam.
Taking it further, what evidence is required for you or anyone to press the
button.
