[SixFeetUndr101]

I love Penguins the animal and the hockey team.

[wannabethug7]

Wow I got a lot more respect for penguins shiiiit they live through that. No one else should be complaining how they live unless its a warzone.

[MultiKez2010]

awwwww bless them

[james757]

they are turning into popicles.

[filebucket]

There is no need to debate over this. Emperor Penguins are Tough ! we can all agree on that !!!!

[sorakairi1993]

That's harsh. STAY STRONG PENGUINS!

[lauraleesmithagain]

No food? They don't eat for four months??

Stop feeling sorry for these guys. Nature built them for this stuff. It's like how people feel sorry for dogs sometimes when all they have is a bone & a yard to play with instead of fancy toys & doggie clothes. Um... dogs are way happier with a yard and space to roam than anything else because that's what nature meant for them. Just because humans prefer warm weather doesn't mean these guys aren't happy as clams here.

@lauraleesmithagain

Your basis for saying that nobody should feel sorry for these penguins is based on your assumption (though for you it's a total certainty) that these penguins feel no pain in this bleak & brutal existance (that has driven away all other life).

Sadly, you don't know the difference between being a) STRONG enough to ENDURE and b) being Comfortable or even happy. It's pain that drives them to huddle together for example.

Stop being so arrogant.

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 My basis is on the scientific fact that they are built to not eat for months on end and will die living in any other environment. You're the 1 making assumptions based on nothing but your own whims. By your "logic" every time a penguin saw us sweating in the swealtering heat of the rest of the world they'd cry over our "suffering" too. Stop thinking that the human perspective is the only perspective- that hun is the epitome of arrogance.

[AmericanStory1]

3) Pain is a survival mechanism that guides behavior (as when they huddle together to avoid the Arctic winds).

4) Thus max pain @ max survival demands.

[AmericanStory1]

@lauraleesmithagain

1) You say they are built (when in fact they evolved as a result of exposure to extreme adversity). All evolutionary pressures weed out on the basis of Survival, NOT Comfort. But evolution is an ongoing process for all life -especially in harsh conditions.

2) Its so harsh even video says most life was driven away (instead of being able to evolve to it).

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 You dodged my question because you lost the argument. So I'll remind you again. Mine is based on scientific fact... now using something that is NOT your own personal arrogance and your own personal whims... How do you know these birds are suffering again? ;)  Hint: Without arrogance you cannot answer that question. btw- you're wrong about the correlation between survival and comfort too.

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 1) Being built for something and evolving into it are the same thing. 1-b) Comfort & survival are related to one another for it is lack of comfort that lets an organism know that something is wrong. WIthout it species would perish. 2) lol. that explains everything. The narrator says the word "harsh" and that totally proves these birds are suffering in an unsuitable environment.

[AmericanStory1]

@lauraleesmithagain

You wrote:

"Mine is based on scientific fact..."

Then show me your scientific documentation. I dare you to show me the that scientific documentation of a biologist supporting your assertions.

Show me that documented scientific fact THAT YOU ARE DESCRIBING BUT ARE HIDING FROM ME (if it exists).

Those are YOUR words, so I call upon you to SHOW ME the scientifc evidence that you are talking about.

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 They are also YOUR words. I already pointed out to the fact that the emperor penguins being built for this environment (my words) is equivelent to the fact that they evolved to live in this environment (your words). So I already proved this point. But with your last comment you did prove something else. The fact that you can't read. ;)

[AmericanStory1]

@laura

The matter over which you asserted that you where speaking from "scientific fact" WAS over the issue of "these birds are suffering"....It was NEVER about being "built" for Arctic.

So, once again, SHOW ME the Scientific evidence (say, from biologist) that supports your claim (that these birds don't suffer).

(you are being revisionist because YOU have NO scientific evidence, as you claimed)

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 No sweetie. Now I just feel sorry for you. :( I'm thinking u'r 12 year old who's not taking the time to read because no adult can make such a fool of themselves so many times. The assertion is clearly stated below for anyone who is literate. That it's a scientific fact that they are built for this environment & cannot survive in any other & therefore it's illogical to feel sorry for the fact that they live in this "harsh" environment. It's right there hun.

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 I feel I owe you an apology. I've been getting this thread mixed up with a different youtube thread. Didn't realize it until you sent me that PM because it did not have a link taking me directly to the thread. As a result I was responding to things that you never even said. Sorry.

[lauraleesmithagain]

@AmericanStory1 Still waiting for your rebuttal about how it is that your comment about how we are to feel sorry for these birds and their immense "suffering" is not human arrogance. Still waiting for you to prove you got this information from something other than your own whims. This is my 4th time asking you as you keep dodging the actual point to this discussion. Can't blame you for dodging- You got nothing. ;)

[Hashpotato]

okay..i thought baitfish had it bad...

[hahaha1234]

[TheWisemonkey8]

Poor things.

[TheWisemonkey8]

Must be desperate... for heat, food and nice cool, clean fresh water.

[yuasent01]

I got really cold when i saw this so I watch the Bahrain Desert Birds. Lol.

[JulietAura]

My teacher always bugs us about the male Emperor Penguins and he showed us this.

[gabeszbl]

is it interesting

[Wsls53]

Wow. This is just unbelievable.

[babyboomer22]

absolutley false

ur a fucking idiot the water in lakes that we take does not jst return magically the specifications and conditions that are requirerd for water to be drinkable are very limited even though the amount of water on earth never changes our access to it does

[babyboomer22]

hey guys i think we can all agree this planet is spectacular and a miracle of the universe

but one of most important resources ,water is being exploited so if you wanna raise awareness for the cause and have facebook

go on facebook go on the application causes and search

STOP THE CORPORATE EXPLOITATION OF CANADAS WATER

thnx greatly appreciated

[gop4usa12]

Don't worry, there's plenty of water to go around.

[babyboomer22]

not really not if we continuslly ship ours off to every one

in one day you can easily use 400 L of water times that by 30,000,000 (the pop of canada )

and youve got alot of water being used

not to mention the water used in irrigation and farming

it takes 40,000 gallons of water for just one pound of beef

how much do we really have

[gop4usa12]

Are you putting me on, or are you a certified moron?

The only way we can "waste" water is if we send it out into space or hold it into sealed containers. The water we use for irrigation, washing our cars, bathing, and for swimming pools doesn't just go away. Some evaporates, then turns to rain again while some runs back into the oceans. God made water for us to use, not ration.

[Number1PenguinFan]

penguins rock!

[EugeneXL]

Last time the tempreature is lower then minus 70degree. Now global warming causing the tempreature to increase. Its not as cold as last time.

[ald0sco]
