Nature is the new god.

Timothy Treadwell died worshipping nature - he became a hungry bear's lunch.

the word nature has been watered down so much... human civilization is part of nature yes? so what Treadwell sought was a life in the wild, and honestly I think it's pretty clear that he spent so much time there because he enjoyed it, and maybe "protecting the bears" was the only excuse to allow him to do something so crazy. he wasn't up there studying environmentalist dogma, he was doing whatever he wanted to do.. barely a civil disobedience. MrCropper why do you hate freedom?

"MrCropper why do you hate freedom?"

Wow, you are being ridiculous. Go ahead and substantiate that, please.

I have even less respect for Camus now, if I had any.

I'd like to hear the thinking behind your decision to show that documentary to those kids. I'm hesitant to agree that it is something they should watch at that age, but I'll defer to your superior knowledge of pedagogy.

(Besides, even if he hadn't been killed, just being exposed to Timothy Treadwell's personality for 90 minutes would seem to be traumatic).

"I'd like to hear the thinking behind your decision to show that documentary to those kids. "

There aren't many documentaries that show in such an obvious way how dangerous and silly nature worship is. And the kids have a LOT of nature worship inculcated from the public schools - species going extinct, landfills running out of room... I wouldn't have introduced them to these subjects, but since they've been started on it, I do what I can to show them how silly it all is.

Also, they said in that movie that Tredwell's efforts actually caused more bears to be killed by poachers. In attempting to "protect" the bears, he instead desensitized them to humans and made them much more susceptible to poachers. Many more bears were killed while Tredwell was there. Seriously, the guy must've been one of the biggest fucking morons on the planet. Talk about someone who accomplished ZERO.

I feel bad for the bears, the bears probably wanted to be killed after meeting Tredwell.

[Eltercero]

Did you have the permission of these children, and their parents, to be included in your video?

Nature worship is a mental disorder.

did he say we came from monkeys?

[greenghost2008]

@MrCropper lol agree. this quote by camus would make passive docile people unknowing for fight for themselves.

[greenghost2008]

It was nice to see you teaching them the truth.

I feel sorry for him. He was raised to love animals the way he did. The movie showed his family raising squirrels when he was a kid.

Your obsessive blaming of Kant for all ills is...well...obsessive.

[thewolverineanalyzer]

Lets face the fact nature is nothing more then horror house. Nature is a 24 hour day slaughter house.

[hypnodance]

While you're at it, what makes you think protecting the bears is an "excuse" for anything?

[hypnodance]

Well, *I* don't. >:(
