A Jack Russell / whippet mix? Gee, let’s take a high-strung breed, and mix it with a racing dog - brilliant!

I think “four years” here should be changed to “four minutes”, right after Trump lost.

Was it like that on the mainland as well?  I can imagine many establishments in Okinawa might have wanted to avoid issues with US service members.

Nah.

Just curious, how do people from remote areas of Ecuador with little knowledge of Spanish get passports with English names?  Is this how Ecuador tries to rid itself of its native population?

Change “kid” to “blog site”, and I’m with Creed.  

The band’s career has been dead for a while though, right?

I lived there in the 80s and go back every three years or so to visit family. I recall some restaurants calling themselves Tex-mex, mix-mex, or mex-mex. Not sure if that’s still a thing.

The name is actually “Farnsworth”, but the typo fits.

Key word here is Finland. Hell, my auto-fill doesn’t even recognize “Finland”. 

Words like that would get you and me fired, and John Kennedy re-elected.

You’re right that it’s consumption: https://janegoodall.ca/our-stories/bushmeat-trade/

If those Westerners reproducing at replacement level will consume more of the planet’s resources and create much more of the world’s waste than those African populations, then I think it’s obvious which is more concerning.....I’d love to see immigration from overpopulated parts of the world to those with declining…

India and China are problems as well. At least China is moving in the right direction, though they may have overshot (the govt is now encouraging families to have more children, as long as they’re not Uighurs). Overpopulation is the main reason India is the largest source of migrants - 5% of world migrants are…

So, westerners reproducing at replacement level is bad and unsustainable, but most African nations doubling in population over the next 20-30 years isn’t?

The problem act is still rich people hunting animals.

He wasn’t talking about climate change - the author threw that in. And the biggest pressure on African wildlife isn’t climate change, but rather an ever-expanding population feeding itself. Search for “bushmeat” and see for yourself.

A person in a developed country having 3+ kids isn’t a problem by itself, as long as there are others having two or fewer. Most developed countries have fertility rates under two, and therefore need to raise their birthrates. The problem comes when everyone is having more than two kids, as is the case across most of…

The resilience is the whole point though. Populations of deer aren’t declining because of legal hunting by rich poeple, but African wildlife populations are in decline as the human population continues to grow.

To paraphrase Homer Simpson, just because I don’t care, doesn’t mean I can’t find something interesting.
