Interview the Person below you?

[Starter]

If you like to read sanskrit. I can't even print in a straight line.

What color will your next car be?

[steveaki13]

Blue, I love Blue.

I have a job interview Friday. Do you have any advice for me?

[gadjo_dilo]

Yeah: stop hoping.

Have you ever bribed someone?

[steveaki13]

Yeah: stop hoping.

[D-Type]

I have never offered anyone a bribe. But I have been in situations abroad where I realised afterwards a bribe would have helped ease the way.

What do you think can be done to protect endangered species?


Steve, at the interview be yourself, build on your strengths and tell them about them, remember they only have limited time so the more time you can spend telling them good things about yourself the better. Good luck!

Thanks D Type.

Its tough to know how is best to go about protecting endangered species. I mean some you do fear are lost causes, however due to the likelyhood it was human action that led to the situation you feel we must do something.

I quite like the corridors they are creating across South/Central Asia in order for many animals to move about. Rather than be stuck in pockets isolated.

Other than that its education and support to those who are causing the most damage I guess, with tough penalties if you are found poaching or breaking international law.

Which endangered species do you fear most for(that its possible to answer about)?

[anfield5]

Hectors and Maui dolphins around NZ. Both species populations are sliding towards unsustainable, and commercial fishermen would rather rape the sea for their catches than help take measures to protect them. In the case of the Hector there are thought to be only 50-60 adults left. If something isn't done soon they will disappear in the next 10 years.

Is it right that commercial considerations i.e. money should trump preservation - are we more important than nature?

[Starter]

There should be a balance struck there without going to either extreme. Those who rape nature for profit should remember the story about the golden goose. Harvesting is fine, but what do they think they will do for a living when all the prey is gone?

If it was possible, would you consider living on another planet? A terraformed Mars perhaps.

[gadjo_dilo]

Not for me. I'm too insecure to start things from zero.

What's the thing you've ever lost that made you very very very sad?

[anfield5]

My mind!! or seriously, I lost my girlfriend to a drunk driver in a road crash a few years ago, and nothing will ever be worse than that.

Do you tend to dwell on bad things that have happened or, do you pick yourself up and move on?
