Ha yeah david knows everything just another rich prick who makes so much money he can go where he wants feeds a few animals and become a super hero he looks like he could be a perv to maybe something worse, I just dont like him full stop.

Lol, I met him once, a few years ago. He genuinely seemed like a good guy, was as sharp as a knife despite his age, and had a lot of interesting things to say. He's definitely one of the better 'rich pricks' imo

new mod is not a fan of stickies. too many makes them invisible and the bobber effect catches users' attention. if this subforum got enough traffic, i'd unstick the remaining two. still might.

I don't agree on the latter. But it's your forum now.

Yeah that was a great episode. I know we're supposed to say this, but I really did enjoy that series. Planet Earth 2 is still my favourite of the "Planet" series' though.

You dont have to like it! lol but am glad you did (if you did! )

I disagree with all this * bangs gavel* we need to have a party to sort out this torrid affair!!

I dont like David attenborough hes so over rated and old

He is over rated and he is old and he is a narrator in the docs and there is a whole team involved. So if you dont like DA then that does not mean you dont like the docs but personally, I dont give a shit because I like them, a lot.

 

[Asclepius]

That's how he knows so much about the plant earth: he was there when it was created.

That would be but hilarious if it was!

 

[Cream Gravy?]

I think he has such a soothing voice even if he isn't the brains behind them.

Ive heard better voices tbh

 

[Asclepius]

Can you give anything Pete,or are you going to be a parasite all your life?

 

[Asclepius]

Anything?

 

[Ganjcat]

Seriously, go fuck yourself pete! - I likeyou but you cant maek everyone the enemy, especially when I tried to reach to you

[CFC]

I suspect he does have a home, and probably a nice garden too

"Foster" its a doc following a few different kids in the foster care system of the US. Its really good and heartbreaking. It strikes the right balance between being truthful without being overly bleak. They follow a women who seems like a model foster care parent. An african american kid who is in and out of group homes and juvy. A girl aging out of the system. And an activist who went through the system herself. I found it informative interesting maddening and heartbreaking. Everything a good expose documentary should be

Earthlings.
It's pretty damn disturbing, though. I went Vegan for several months after watching this (I stopped because I lost 15lbs an felt like my eating-disorder was re-emerging).

is there context to why stoffle doesn’t get to be free? usually once we find out an animal is smart as fuck there is backlash to keeping them enclosed.

You wouldn't find out from this little clip, but it's because despite their apparent super brains he kept climbing into the Lion's den and got badly mauled (it's explained in the rest of the documentary). Fearless and, apparently, insane.

Try to watch Seven Worlds, One Planet - David Attenborough's latest BBC nature docu, if you can. It's very good indeed, as enjoyable as Planet Earth 2 imo.
