That also is not what I said.

Why is this so hard for you? The question says exactly what the words in it say. You seem to be completely unable to understand them though. I really don't see why though. The question should--apparently anyway, given your purported expertice--be very easy to answer.

About deer... human hunters kill the stupid ones who can't read or count. Where i live, just before the season starts, they come out of the forest en masse and invade the suburbs - you can't shoot in populated areas. And while the season is going, driving in the suburbs is task in deer dodging. When season ends, they leave for the forests again.

Elk take it to a new leve. Originally the females would graze/browse while males served as spotters. But with the interest in antlers now males duck their heads down while females spot, and these males even shift from one tightly clustered group of females to another without most human hunters noticing

I drew up your exact post. You couldn't understand what introducing indigenous predators would do. It's right there in your exact words. You're as bad as reading a Hillary statement.

Deer evolution and female [deer] emancipation at once

Sigh. Actually heretic, and here it is spelled out for you, I asked quite specifically what YOU thought it would do. That's exactly what those words say. I don't know how you invented the rest.

I've sat here trying to figure out what kind of reasoning goes from, "What exactly do you think the effect of that would be," to, "Predetors don't affect the population of their prey," or, "I don't understand that things eat other things." I've tried and tried and tried to find that sequence of reasoning so that I could understand where you are coming from and I just can't.

Are you saying you deny posting the following?

Hell, you can have predators at work and it won't hamper the hunting of "sportsmen." This because wild predators don't care how many "points" a deer has, and aren't foolhardy to go after a healthy buck, instead zeroing in on far easier marks.
So you either don't understand ecology or yuo were trying to dodge the point. Which is it?

I feel a need to return to this thread's original question:

What sort of Human Mind Gravitates to Playing God?

Hmmmm......

This is occasionally one of my favorite fantasies. The first thing I do is appear on every TV on every channel in the world. They who do not have are given. Then I say, "Yo, assholes...listen up."

Then we start making changes. Muslim or Arab men wear burka bitch outfits for a week straight and are slapped on the butt by every woman who feels they might deserve it.

bush and cheney are waterboarded in front of the world in their undies.

All assets of all thieves, polluters, and false prophets are seized and put to better use. Being God, the definition of better use is my sole discretion.

Pollution is cleaned.

All cruelty to animals is severly punished.

90% (have to check Santa's list and see who has been naughty or nice )possibly of all politicians, lobbyists, priests, etc are sentenced to and miraculously find themselves in jail --no pardons, no commutations.

I generally have a very good time whenever I play God.
