That puts the plague pretty high up your list of 'superior

It is, I'm afraid. From Winky:

"Plague is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Yersinia
pestis."

Bacteria is not equal to plant. Neither is yeast, mould, fungus, etc.

It's still a species, though, which is what we're discussing.

Not a significant one.

Corse it is given how many it killed.

Most people do not use "species" to include once cell organisms.

Yes, most are indeed that pig ignorant. They are a species anyway.

They're completely insignificant. A handful of soil contains more micro-organisms than number of humans on the planet, but we don't give a **** about them.

Nobody cares if we make a fungus extinct,

The worst of the fools do.

The worst of the fools can be ignored. They're generally recognised by the Greenpeace sticker on their car window.

but we do when a tiger goes extinct.

The worst of the fools care that the dodo is extinct too.

That would be like you asking me to collect all the leaves from your
driveway, and I miss a few tiny little ones, while collecting all the
huge ones cut from your hedge.

Size has nothing to do with it.

Small leaves are insignificant when tidying up a driveway.

Small species like the plague and smallpox and polio
and ebola are nothing even remotely like insignificant.

They are when worrying about extinction.

None of the plague, smallpox, flu, polio, ebola etc are.

Because they arent plague, smallpox, flu, polio, ebola etc.

Wrong, as always. We have already extincted smallpox
in the wild and will do that with polio sometime too.

the auto-contradicting senile sociopath, blabbered, again:


Wrong, as always.

Those three words would make the perfect nym for you, senile asshole!
