[QUOTE="BSK, post: 339133, member: 17"] As I mentioned previously, I hate discussing this topic. People are going to do whatever they want to do, regardless of "the facts." Even when they understand that smoking [i]absolutely[/i] shortens your life and gives you a 50/50 chance of developing smoking related cancer, they will still smoke. It doesn't matter how clear it is that obesity shortens life-spans and is one of the leading causes of destructive maladies like heart disease and diabetes, people are still going to over-eat and get fat. No matter how often you point out that feeding wildlife has been [b]proven[/b] to cause devastating disease outbreaks that destroy local economies (see the cattle industry of MI due to the spread of bovine tuberculosis by artificial feeding of deer), and cause inumerable other wildlife and habitat related damage, they are still going to feed deer. People are always going to take what they believe to be the easy route to accomplish what they want, even if the "easy route" is dangerous and when much safer yet more long-term alternatives exist. We want want we want, and we want it now, future be damned. [/QUOTE]
