So, if you don't like fish. You're in luck. More doomsaying? What think you?

You have to look at the positive side: at least we won't have to be afraid of sharks anymore.

Nah, we'll just save the last few and raise them up in farms. Besides, I read somewhere that salmon are spawning in rivers that flow to the Arctic Ocean now, so they're expanding, which means those reports are just whining from the elitist liberal science faction. You know, the ones who say human activity could cause the world to get warmer.

By the way... Excellent Nintendo sig. And yes... I've always been vaguely fearful of a shark sneak attack.

Tuna and salmon ARE created in captivity, right? Right? o_O

I blame the third world. Those scumbags don't treat their sewerage. That much nutrient dumped straight into rivers that lead to oceans cause algae blooms that then die back, lower oxygen levels, kill fish and promote the growth of stuff like cyanobacteria and jellyfish which I don't eat. Also the ones who live on the coastlines eat my fish. I need some surf to go with my damn turf. Somebody ought to do something about those third world losers.

I'm doing my part for conservation. I hate seafood, never touch it.

Not created, they're designed, intelligently.

damned hippies.

It's common among fish breeders to think that they are Gods but don't let them fool you. Baby fish are only created through love or fishyrape.
