No he has none, remember, he's aspie. but it would seem you're aspie too.

Good!

No, endangered species should be left alone until they recover, there are plenty more sources of food available.

You have no idea as to who's responsible, as usual you assume to know. Is that what all your education has taught you? To assume you know everything?

Because you're a sick fuck.

His bottom line of what?
http://www.investopedia.com/terms/b/bottomline.asp :"Definition of 'Bottom Line'
Refers to a company's net earnings, net income or earnings per share (EPS). Bottom line also refers to any actions that may increase/decrease net earnings or a company's overall profit. A company that is growing its net earnings or reducing its costs is said to be "improving its bottom line"."

Because you're a sick fuck.

What are your solutions then?
Your obvious acceptance of the status quo, because you're too dumbfounded or lack the desire to change an obviously uneducated move, astounds me.

Remember that conversation we had in that locked metaphysics thread? I never did reply to something you said about language and meaning, so I'll cut and paste it soon as it think it bears much upon the way you communicate. You still not understand why you get into vitriol with others so easily?

So, no, I was not 'pretending' to not know what he meant, I know what he meant, I was pointing-out that he too 'knew' what his picture meant to him and I asked him what he would accept as making sense from his image.

On the whole I find you laughable with your claims about being a 'real human being' as you show little insight into being one and are quick to insult others from your absolute morality play.
Fools sit in the corner, mumbling to themselves, continuously laughing.

And could not!

True, you think poachers have no families? Especially in Africa. Why do you think they are poaching?
Where do you live, I think I'll come to visit you and "poach" something of yours. So what, I gotta eat?

No he has none, remember, he's aspie. but it would seem you're aspie too.

Why? Because unlike you I don't morally emote about things I do nothing about?
Again assumption, do you know of nothing else?

Good!

So much for your fellow human.
May be yours, surely not mine!

No, endangered species should be left alone until they recover, there are plenty more sources of food available.

I didn't say this. I know they are not being killed for food but the horns. What I said was would the image be less stressful if they skinned and butchered the rest, as its a waste.
Didn't hear it the first time?: "No, endangered species should be left alone until they recover, there are plenty more sources of food available."

You are naive if you think endangered species will be left alone, especially if they have something humans value.
And you are dumb to think that your apathy in this matter lends to your intellect or livelihood.

You have no idea as to who's responsible, as usual you assume to know. Is that what all your education has taught you? To assume you know everything?

No, its to know that I know some things and not others and to know how to look things up. So I know that the 'great white' hunters killed shitloads of large game in Africa, I know that now-a-days they are being killed for their horns for Oriental medicine.

I know that if you want to keep the rhino you better have a better way than we've got as its not working.
And so you side with those that would kill them, needlessly? You seem to be one of the most selfishly, presuming and apathetic people I've ever met. Devils advocate? I hope so, for your sake.

I know what 'the bottom line' means, its what its the bottom line of that I was asking.
You read the above highlighted red text and still act dumbfounded, as to what I meant contextually, sheesh, you weren't kidding when you said you weren't necessarily smart.

Your obvious acceptance of the status quo, because you're too dumbfounded or lack the desire to change an obviously uneducated move, astounds me.

Tell me what you've actually done to assist the plight of the rhino?

Unless you've missed it, its not a status quo, nor is it a question of education, its economics and my solution appears to offer a solution. Maybe you don't understand that rhino horns regrow and there would be no need to kill them at all in a farmed solution.
I've given money to the WWF, both in the form of direct cash donations and via purchases, for instance I actually own a silk tie that has a Rhino on it, made by a company that gave a percentage of my purchase price to the WWF. And yes I know all about Rhino horns being like fingernail/hair, but contextually you misled as to your farming comment, your failing, not mine.

Someone own these wild animals? If so then lets give their care to those who'd have a vested interest in keeping them alive.
In one case, she that was injured, and the others that were killed, were owned by an Englishman, no less. ALL the others are located on RESERVES. You do know what a reserve is don't you?
"A nature reserve (natural reserve, nature preserve, natural preserve, bioreserve, or just preserve) is a protected area of importance for wildlife, flora, fauna or features of geological or other special interest, which is reserved and managed for conservation and to provide special opportunities for study or research. Nature reserves may be designated by government institutions in some countries, or by private landowners, such as charities and research institutions, regardless of nationality." --Wikipedia--

Again assumption, do you know of nothing else?

And your ascription of Aspergers to me was what?
A characterization of how you were acting.

May be yours, surely not mine!

My point exactly!
No, I think the point is on top of your head. Someone that kills an endangered herbivore, senselessly, is certainly not one of my fellow men, and deserves what they get.

:: Didn't hear it the first time?: "No, endangered species should be left alone until they recover, there are plenty more sources of food available."

The rhino is not endangered for being food. So your solution is to what? Take them to the brink again and again?
What? Are you daft? Since they are endangered, it wouldn't matter if they used the meat or not. It's amazing how one has to spell it out for you. You that tout the grandeur of multiple diplomas. Amazing!!!!

And you are dumb to think that your apathy in this matter lends to your intellect or livelihood.

Nope, I'm bright enough to know that those who bewail a moral situation whilst doing nothing about it are just blowing their own trumpet. I also know that its not apathy that leads me to my solution but intellect whereas you'll just move on to the next species when the rhino is dead and gone.
You're a fool like no other, as you fight the swirling windmills of assumption, only in your mind. Does your brain feel a little tender? Well then, stop picking at it.

And so you side with those that would kill them, needlessly? You seem to be one of the most selfishly, presuming and apathetic people I've ever met. Devils advocate? I hope so, for your sake.

As usual you do what you claim is others fault, i.e. assume before reading, as there would be no need to kill them as their horns regrow.
This is the first time you mentioned that your farming, was in opposition to the topic, the fault's all yours, contextually speaking. Do I REALLY have to remind you of the OP's first pic? And you, the wise one that eliminates previous quotes, can't remember the topic, again, sheesh!!!

What about the pay for the poacher who may be trying to feed his family, that make any sense to you?

Got any solutions?

I have, legalize the trade and breed and farm them.

Read again brainbox, what is this company or business you envisage this helicopter jockey as killing the rhinos to help its bottom line? As I can get poachers but am having trouble with this businessman of yours.
Gawd you're stupid, KILLING RHINOS FOR MY ME FUND INC. for all I know, moron. That's his 'business' you freak, of nature!

I've given money to the WWF, both in the form of direct cash donations and via purchases, for instance I actually own a silk tie that has a Rhino on it, made by a company that gave a percentage of my purchase price to the WWF.

Good for you, lets hope it helps. No idea why "contextuality" has become your favourite word but since it is I'll apply the criteria you claimed for me and say that you added it to what I said and misled yourself.

If we do things my way then maybe you'll be able to buy a nice tie-pin as well.
You're a fucking idiot, you continually said I did nothing to help, WRONG!! That was the only point, PIN HEAD! Nice has nothing to do with it freak.
