    I cant wait until we eradicate mosquitoes from this planet. All they do is make life worse for everyone.

    Some whiny bitch is going to come along and say “OH but they are vital to the ecosystem is some parts of the world” fuck you and anyone that thinks this. They are not vital to shit.

    We have the technology, we can do it.

      Actually, I think the main issue is the getting rid of them part. There’s billions of them, they’re small and they reproduce fast.

      There are lots of species of mosquito, and yes, they are essential to the ecosystem. But very few species actually bite humans. Some studies have argued that not a lot would happen if you eliminated just those species.

        Wr ave already eliminated them from smaller areas. We know how to do it, someone. Just needs to do it world wide. If I had the money I’d start doing it already. Wouldn’t ask permission.

      It’s also not true. Plenty of environmental impact studies have been done showing that eradicating the specific species of mosquito responsible wouldn’t make a difference. Other species of insects would fill the gap

      Mosquitoes are integral parts of all ecosystems they live in, those would collapse if they somehow disappeared overnight.
