If you think about it, that's one of the ''nicest'' things that could happen to earth, and it doesn't make me proud at all...

I'm gonna go with games (just cuz I don't wanna get all into life crap) if I could change one thing it'll be Nintendo stop making games, putting them on Sony, Microsoft, PC and they go back to Making Sex Hotels and trading cards. Then everyone would be happy nintendo fanboys wouldn't get exsposed all the time they would be happy cuz they can game with everyone and still have there Mario's Zelda's whatever and plus Nintendo never was any competition do nothing would change the world would be so much better and they could stop wasting everyone's time... Jk (trolled) really tho hmmm.. I guess  i would ask for every Japan release game to also be release in the US Day one no matter what game it is that would be something in long terms for me I would be happy for

all governments work for the banks unless they have a congress that coins money.

How is it one of the nicest things that could happen to earth ? How does the planet benefit from the extermination of the human race.

Many species we are pushing towards extinction would be saved, and the environment would benefit from no longer being our punching bag.

I'm pretty sure species went extinct before any trace of humans existed on this planet.

As for the environment ... um who cares? Setting aside the fact that the impact that humans have on the environment is negligible, what value will the earth have to anyone or anything if humans are extinct? The environment will be destroyed eventually as a result of the sun burning up all of its hydrogen. The only thing that could possibly save the planet would be humans through some elaborate process of moving the whole planet somewhere else (never even heard of that being done even in sci-fi ). So yeah this planet is doomed in the long run even if all humans were wiped out tomorrow.

A lot of people

Unfortunately, you are right. I was just trying to point out the fact that caring about the environment is, ultimately, pointless.

Also, the idea that anyone would consider eliminating humanity in order to prevent supposed damage to a big chunk of dirt flying through space is pretty disturbing.

So animals have more rights to live than humans do ?  Why ? They will die sooner or later anyway mass extinctions happen regulary.

How would the environment benefit ? You mean plants ? They too are eradicated periodically. Also plants don't care they don't have the means to feel like humans and to a lesser extent animals.

Would you prefer to live 5 years or 50 years?  This is in relation with this topic.   Sure planet Earth wont be here forever but keeping it here and keeping humanity for as long as possible is better to most people than having earth destroyed in a matter of a few years becuase we are ultimately making bad decisions.
