- nah, use lighted -- nm - decline Apr 4, 08:46
- Of course. Did you sleep with your clothes on? -- nm - ty97 Apr 4, 08:42 1
  - I came in through the window. - Spawn Lord Apr 4, 08:47
- Yes. He lit a candle. He lit a fire. He lit a cigarette. -- nm - TWuG Apr 4, 08:41

  - That is the side I am on , but the internets have not been helpful. -- nm - Spawn Lord Apr 4, 08:40 3
    - lit, v., 1.Simple past tense and past participle of light. -- (link) - znufrii Apr 4, 08:43 2

B2: Krusty the problem with closing all zoos would be the fact that alot of animals would be extinct if not for zoos... -- nm - Beaker Apr 4, 08:26 20
- We can find some way to do that with without the other animals. For example, policelar bears don't belong in a zoo. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 08:42 9
  - not many animas larger then insects "belong" in a zoo - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 4, 08:48
  - Why don't polar bears belong in a zoo? -- nm - TWuG Apr 4, 08:44 4
    - Because they're natural habitat is not San Diego or The Bronx. They belong outside roaming and hunting not being fed by humans while living in small -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 08:47 3
      - Their natural habit is going away and the science being done with captive animals is beneficial to the wild populations. Also, good zoos - TWuG Apr 4, 08:50 1
        
        even polar bears left alone in what looks to be a perfect arctic environment are not "left alone"eiter - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 4, 08:53

  - Stupid phone... polar bears. -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 08:42
- and most of them are engaged in bona fide scientific research - znufrii Apr 4, 08:36 7
  - But most of those animals shouldn't be used as entertainment for us. They belong in the wild not in cages -- nm - Krusty Apr 4, 08:43 6
    - I've always regarded zoos as being much more educational than entertainment-oriented. -- nm - znufrii Apr 4, 08:45 5
      - They shouldn't be kept in cages for that reason either. It's wrong for the animals. If they go extinct so be it, that's nature. - Krusty Apr 4, 08:49 3
        
        No, "going extinct" is NOT nature. At this point going extinct is a direct result of human activity. Don't bitch about the human activity trying to - TWuG Apr 4, 08:52
        
        leaving things alone has only one outcome - DaneDukeNuuk Apr 4, 08:51
        
        except for the fact that the main reason species are threatened with extinction is because of our effect on their habitats and the environment. - znufrii Apr 4, 08:51
      - Exactly. Zoos are doing very good work in conservation, public awareness, breeding... All sorts of positives for the animals. - TWuG Apr 4, 08:47
- You're such a zoopologist! - Was Bar Was Apr 4, 08:27 1
