| Message | Mankind needs and benefits from a healthy environment just as much as any other type of animal. Does the ILP want to cause animals to become extinct? Why? Also, isn't this bill anti-biocentrism? |
| Date | 09:13:01, February 21, 2006 CET | From | Liberal Party of Indrala | To | Debating the Mankind First Act |
| Message | Do you understand the concept of biocentrism? it is similar to ethnocentrism exept that a person outs there specias before others instead of their ethnicity. I don't mind if animals become extinct if their genetic coding does not enable them to live and adapt. We believe in Darwinism. |
