I've heard about this film/documetory thing called Earthlings and I'm just wondering do you know what it's about..?
not really sure but i googled it:) and i found this stuff
one of the links is a part of the documentary
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0358456/

Watch some of similar videos from my my own production -www.martinpeniak.com - Powerful, informative, controversial and thought-provoking ...
Our planet is very clean, it has been very sad to know you earthlings have ruined your planet we can tell from your earths latest weather reports, and stuff stop polluting your earth, stop littering. You are going to end up damaging it a-lot.
woooooooooow.
lol why would you waste 5 points on a question liek this .
no effence, its a complete waste of time !
no one believes it .
If we were to try to inhabit Mars and the Moon, what would we have to do to allow us to live there? And for what purpose would we need it.
Example: We would need a dome to supply us with Oxygen because Mars doesnt contain Oxygen (and we need Oxygen to live).
What would we especially do with Mars and the Moon because of no atmosphere?
Also, what planet or moon would be your pick (other than Earth) to live on and why?
In the near future, the best way to colonize either our Moon or Mars would be to build underground habitats.
Sub-surface colonies would be best in both cases since a sufficient depth and covering material would protect humans from the harmful radiations that bombard both Moon and Mars. Neither place has the magnetic field protections, against radiation, that allow surface life on Earth.
Once underground in sealed chambers that could protect against radiation and hold in atmospheric gases and water, humans could use surface collectors to harvest solar energy for needed power, storing that energy in fuel cells for times that the sun is not available to provide power. The crust of both the Moon and Mars hold the essential building blocks of life support such as the elements carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen, so mining those to create nutrients for plants would be required to establish hydroponic food systems, which would also act as "air scrubbers" to separate oxygen from the carbon-dioxide humans exhale.
Water and air (mainly free oxygen and nitrogen) are crucial components. Small, initial supplies that would be rigorously recycled would come from Earth, but a sufficient surplus of solar energy could be used over time to slowly extract hydrogen and oxygen from mineral compounds to maintain and then increase a colony's supply.
Technologies exist today to do all of the above, but at EXTREME expense and risk. To do this in the next 50 years would be the most monumental engineering and exploration achievement ever undertaken by us in terms of cost and effort. So, why do it?
Many people say it is not worth it, but there are great arguments in favor:
1) Today, a cataclysmic event such as an asteroid impact or unfortunately directed large solar flare could wipe out all life on Earth. These things are EXTREMELY unlikely and statistically improbable, but what a waste it would be to see our species exterminated because we balked at the cost and effort required to insure human survival on other planets. Plus the ability to create and maintain self-contained underground colonies could also allow a chunk of human population to survive on Earth after a catastrophe.
2) The lighter gravities of both the Moon and Mars could be a boon to extending human life. If we started building and growing underground Moon and Mars colonies in this century, then by the time space elevators are designed and completed we could comfortably move elderly people to what could one day be luxurious retirement colonies on comfortable low-gravity environments.
3) Because we can. To some people, it seems essential to our social evolution that civilized humans continue to push at the boundaries of our existence. Solving Earth problems such as the hunger, disease, and poverty caused by sloth, greed, racism, and oppression are seemingly insurmountable because the most complex and difficult block to human freedom and happiness are the machinations of other human beings. The technical challenges of colonizing the Moon and Mars are easy by comparison since there are no Moon or Mars intelligences waiting to stop us with their greed, racism, and beaurocracy.
With technology growing exponentially its only a matter of time when Humans will finally make contact with other intelligent life. This encounter could be everything we imagined it to be, or even deadly. Do you feel that humans will put forth a greater effort to work together knowing that our problems are not so significant any longer?
Religious people will FREAK out. If Kepler snaps a good photo of a earth like planet, And see it has Oxygen etc in it? Religious people will be like, "Wow... It really is real!"...
And perticually... I do think it will happen, As in we will reach intelligent life... Someday...
If we knew the answer, would the secrets of the human soul (if any) be revealed?
Even Rachael Ray says she can't bake, as I recall, so maybe baking is more difficult than killing............and human beings often take the easier way out.
