Those of you who've seen the movie know what I'm talking about. LOL
Here's something from the net that just makes you wonder what the heck is going on in the human genetic sequence.

"Scientists and researchers have spent decades studying the wildlife at Yellowstone. This summer, park officials will begin doing field work on humans. Such work is necessary because the visitors at Yellowstone?long on degrees and short on common sense?have become a danger to the animals and themselves. In May a visitor mistakenly hauled a baby bison calf to ranger station because he thought it was cold, though that was just one of many incidents. A group of men walked off the boardwalk onto the delicate thermal features of the Grand Prismatic Spring. A woman was struck and killed by a vehicle after crossing the road to view an eagle. A woman was charged and knocked to the ground by an elk. A 13-year-old boy was burned after falling into a hot spring at the Upper Geyser Basin. And last week, a 23-year-old man died when he wandered from the designated boardwalk and fell into an acidic hot spring at the Norris Geyser Basin. Yellowstone has now hired a full-time social scientist to study visitor expectations and how the park can deliver more effective safety messages and protect the park?s resources."
 
I always thought the movie was just entertainment but it has turned into a documentary on human behavior lol...and we are headed there.
 
Ya,and I don't think it'll take 500 years like in the movie. Seems sometimes,like about six months will do it.
 
"This sounds like a problem that if left alone will solve itself."

Yup. Problem is, "we" won't leave it alone.

Coupla months ago, my wife and I were driving around on the Niobrara Wildlife Reservation by Valentine, Nebraska. At one point we had to wait until a couple of buffalo decided to move and let us drive on down the road. I'm sure there are some idiots who would have gotten out of their car and tried to pet them.
 
A few years ago I saw some sort of special where some guy went up to I think maybe Alaska to follow and live among brown bears in a tent. He named them and all kinds of stuff. Near the end of the special he mentioned two of them that he said that he didn't trust because they didn't act real friendly towards him. At the end of the special when they showing credits and stuff they mentioned that the bears either just killed him, or killed and ate him, I'm not sure which or both.

True and stupid involving me. When I was a kid, my father corralled some hogs up to take to market. The corral was full of them. My buddy Rusty and me could have walked around the corral, but instead we climbed into it and waded across to the other side. We were maybe six or seven years or so old and the backs of the hogs came up to our arm pits. We pushed our way through, climbed out the other side. My father seen us wading through and climbing out. He beat the crap out of us...out of love. We could have been killed. One time, same age, we were at Rusty's and his Dad had their hogs out in an apple orchard. Rusty told me "Watch this" and he climbed into the orchard, went out to a hog and kicked it right in the rocky mountain oysters. The hog squealed and ran about ten feet. Rusty did that a few more times, each time the hog squealing until Rusty had it out in the middle of the orchard and he did it again. That time the hog squealed and turned and charged, chasing Rusty all the way back to the fence trying to eat him. Rusty barely made it. That was one cranky hog and Rusty was almost slop.

Hogs are incredibly strong and can be viscious, could have killed a child no problem. I have seen them kill and eat each other. When on gets down the rest pile on.
 
when you travel west of the mississippi riverehere are far less dumazsigns then they have in cincinayi ,,, and p;eople still do stupid stuff
 
The idiocy didn't just start, 30 years ago we were down in Smoky Mtn. National park up in Cades Cove I think. Old bear and 3 cubs surrounded by people lining up their kids for that perfect camera shot.
 
I LOVED that movie. The 'how we got here' part at the front was, sad to say, true.

Personally I think 'alphabet agencies', like OSHA, MSHA, etc have been around so long they have protected too may stupid people from themselves. The end result is the 'accident' that was destined to kill them never happened....so they were allowed to breed yet another generation of stupid even worse than the first.....
 
I haven't seen the movie... But I can see Yellowstone, and probably all national parks eventually being off limits to the free ranging visitor.

People can not be trusted, common sense is quickly being replaced by narcissism.
 
"You can't fix stupid."

On the other hand, WHY try?

I don't think the human race is any worse off when we lose an idiot once in a while/chlorinate the gen pool.

It's natural selection at it's best.
 
Wait wait .... that's just another theme park, isn't it??? And I think of the mountain men who started across this country with nothing but a good old horse and a bed role and a Henry.
 
You are correct! The study has already been done and the results are already in and proven, YOU CAN NOT FIX STUPID! So lets be stupid again and pay for another study to prove that the first study is correct.
 
Scary but true. I feel common sense isn't that common anymore. Last week I demoed a round baler to a father and his son. The father was there first. We plugged the feeder up, the father instantly jumped down and started digging out the baler with the baler running. The son then showed up a few minutes later as I was wrapping a bale, never let me know he was there walked between the tractor and baler and hooked the tow chain tighter on the drawbar. Lucky for him that I saw him down there working on it. The part that got me is he got down on one knee and rested his head against the pto while it was still running.
 
I believe the bears killed and ate both him and his girlfriend. Then there the girl at the zoo who thinks the tiger loves me and gets her arm ripped off. And she works there !
 
" had his head against the PTO while it was running" It is only a matter of time for him until he gets injured badly I would say.

To do that is pretty damn stupid but many who work around these machines become complacent to the dangers of spinning shafts and moving parts. Seen otherwise intelligent people do stupid stuff...all one can do really is shaker their head. If I had someone employed who worked dangerously they would be fired.
 
One only needs to spend a small amount of time in a classroom to realize, "It's funny...because it's true."

You can go back and read about how just about every generation felt the next was lazy, stupid, disrespectful, etc. Maybe it has always been this way, but my goodness it seems society has gone from complaining about/laughing at the stupidity to actively encouraging and rewarding it. I guess in the larger picture, in all human history, I am very blessed to have the life I have. I'll just keep praying for my children.
 
"water? like out of the toilet?"

The part that kills me is that sometime soon, we will have to get a license to apply fertilizer, the same way we have restricted use herbicides. Everyone is scared to the point that no one will act sensibly. I had this conversation with my agronomist when I told him I wanted to increase my phosphorus. I explained to him that 2 ppm in a 6 inch soil test is holding me back and I need to build the level. You would have thought I suggested killing puppies in front of elementary students.
 
Yep, that's what my father tried to teach us. We had a runt when I was a kid that we named Charlot and raised pretty much as a pet so she wouldn't get killed by the others. We took good care of her and she got slopped pretty well. All and all, she grew up the fastest and biggest. But, came time to put her back with the others, so we thought, and we did. They killed and ate her. Human scent on her? Whatever, we meant to do well but the outcome was brutal. Hogs can be killers, you are so right. My father beat the living crap out of us...bless and thank him.

So, if you have one bucket that holds 1 gallon and another bucket that holds 2 gallons, How many buckets do you have? That movie is one of my favorites because it's spot on with society today.
 
We were at the Ionia Free Fair one night and my girlfriend wanted to get her picture taken with the tiger and the bear cub they had over there. The bear cub was really fiesty and strong but the tiger was probably about 200 lbs and probably had a long hot week of stupid people (including us) getting their picture taken with it. I was pretty uneasy about the whole thing. The dufus running the thing said "oh, you'll be ok, he's fine". Then he grabbed the tiger by the tail and slid his hind end around to better position him for the pics. It bared it's teeth and snarled at him. I was thinking later how bad that could go on any given day. I still have the pic of her and myself sitting next to that predator that could have killed all of us in about 30 seconds. Would have deserved that Darwin award for being dumb@sses.
