  Nature is amazing :)

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  i studied biology at uni and specialised in animal biology (wolf behaviour) but i've always liked natural history.. even if i never went to uni, i'd still be amazed by nature and i'd still watch nature programs on tv.. i'd like start a thread where posters can post nature clips that are in some way amazing.. the vid below shows wild wolves in the canadian arctic encountering humans for the first time.. these wolves haven't been exterminated by human hunters and therefore haven't learnt to fear humans.

  result: wild wolves approach human strangers almost like dogs.

  pretty cool.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izgavk7fovu .

  There has never been a documented orca attack on a human in the wild. Only when they are kept in captivity. It explains itself.

  I blame monterey bay for that. They kept a female Carcharodon carcharias for 16 days and drew huge attendance, prompting other to copy. They have done it several more times since. To their credit, none of them have died, but several refused food, one attacked other sharks (surprise surprise). They simply are not compatible with captivity.

  As an aside, i wish every japaneese whaling and shark finning ship was on the bottom of the ocean.

  i also cheered every time a captive orca attacked some at seaworld.

  Some creatures thrive in “captivity” (that is to say with humans or with human care), some tolerate it and some simply will not ever accept being kept captive and its wrong to even try.

  Dogs..... came from wolves? Are you serious? That ranks right up there with flat earth theory. Where do you people come up with this crap????

  Do dogs and wolves look ANYTHING alike??? Do they behave in similar ways??? Do they live in similar social structures???

  Jesus i swear, everytime i open this forum im greeted more and more crazy shit. Dogs and wolves. Dear god take your medication and get a grip.

  What the hell is next, babies grow into adults??? Grass grows from seeds??? Chickens are somehow related to eggs?

  i cant take this crap. Im outta here.

  Slim, in the case of corporations ( and especially ones that have motivation to hide assets), you absolutely cant know anything unless you know everything.

  Favourite Quirky / Low Budget / Non-Mainstream Movies

  by Simon in

  1. social
  2. entertainment

  so the recent topic about film franchises got me thinking.

  sure, we all love the big budget, mainstream releases that are so successful they spawn never-ending (it sometimes seems) sequels.

  we could watch marvel and star-wars movies for the rest of our lives (and we might just ...).. but y'know what i love?

  Duel was indeed Spielberg's first.. one of the great plot devices was he never showed the driver. It was as if the truck itself was the villain. Its an intense movie!

  Im going to take an unpopular stand (rare for me i know)... the abyss was abysmal. I like the first 3/4 of it but the end was the laziest most poorly written nonsense i have ever seen. It ruined an otherwise good movie. Had to get that off my chest.

  Saw is an interesting nominee. It was indeed small budget horror and was so popular it spawned a series. Im not huge into the gore franchise but it was a movie that captured my interest and kept you hanging on till the end to see the resolution...

  If onlythey had the same attitude towards sex offenders

  i can’t speak for everyone, but in my experience my whole life as a witness, people, mainly woman , were speaken of very poorly for “commiting fornication”.

  and everyone was so repulsed by women who wore “revealing” clothes, always saying, “women wear things like that, or let their daughters go out like that, and then wonder why their raped.” which makes me want to throw up.

  if you even got in trouble for a groping session, you were the talk of gossip for weeks, maybe for years if some had it in for you.

  Let me offer a slight alternative...

  if only they treated and viewed pedophiles as they do apostates.

  Lol xan, the abyss is the exact opposite of a low budget quirky film 😂😂 In fact, the special effects with the creatures making the face out if water and exploring were cutting edge :)

  one if my picks isnt exactly low budget either but it is very quirky and died at the box office only to be come a classic as it moved to the home market- Fight club. It makes interesting comentary on modern life constantly and has tons of details to find after you seen it the first time

  Ex-Jehovah's Witness Recovering Group 3 and This Site

  i don't remember seeing it ever really talked about here but the facebook group with the namesake of this post shut down at the end of march.

  it was archived and they weren't clear as to when or if they would come back.

  it seemed to come out of nowhere, and i know a lot of people were disappointed.
