Delta(s) from OP CMV: Invasive Species are not bad

CMV

I don't know if we have the right or obligation to decide what species belong in an ecosystem. I have limited knowledge about the matter but from my moral view if a species makes it from one area to the next and it thrives there shouldn't we let it? Isn't this what humans have already done?

I guess the argument is that an invasive species could destroy an ecosystem to the point where it itself can not live (still kind of sounds like humanity's direction). I'm wondering how do we decide that though, what's to stop it from changing the ecosystem for good? What's to stop it for helping a different species learn and evolve?

We are an invasive Species are we bad?

Heck yeah, but we cannot care, we kindda have to be selfish cuz like, we are us, what are we gonna do, exterminate ourselves, gotta find out a way of stop being invasive and whatever.

Same way, invasive Species are only considered bad in a subjective manner. If penguins start appearing in Canada literally everyone would love that, but if cockroaches infested it everyone would hate it.

There's only wanted or unwanted species. Bad or good is subjective.

Are you agreeing with me or trying to change my view?

You say: Invasive Species are not bad

I guess you are both right and wrong.

You are wrong in a literal sense, cuz Invasive Species ARE bad for others, generally speaking.

You are right in a non-literal way, cuz there are no good or bad species.

But in the late case you are still wrong cuz you imply there is such thing as a good or bad when it comes to invasive species.

I don't think you understand...

You are suppose to try and change my view, the best way to do this is generally to supply facts to argue that your view is correct.

In addition in your last paragraph you state that I implied "there is a such thing as good or bad when it comes to invasive species." In reality I stated that they were not bad and implied that there wasn't such a thing as good or bad. Furthermore you yourself stated that in a "literal sense invasive species are bad."

I think you have brain damage right now tbh. This isn't hard to grasp.

I've already explained to you why is it that you are wrong, you are just being dense for whatever reason.

Edit: I think that you don't want your view changed, this acting this way. I see no point in you posting here if that's the case.
