...could they have possibly found a soldier that could talk worse for a press conference???

[pomba gira]

WTF, they're talking like the barrier is still working... they seem to have conveniently forgotten that the wretched creatures have already passed it!

[Homicidalheathen]

Yah and Poison as an answer...not so sure thats a good one either. Poison in water...impossible to contain.

[Rev.Reverence]

I say...since they are from this planet, & we moved them, we just let them be...

...do I care about them killing the other life forms, meh...Darwin, survival of the fittest...nuff said.

...if ya' got carp, eat carp...

.......it is a cycle...it spins, whether you want it to or not.

..& destruction happens.

Eat carp?!?! Hell no! It is probably one of the nastiest fish that you could eat.

Yeah and the poison is probably the same one they used in Wisconsin when they cleaned up the carp here. With the way the carp eat it will only hit them and since it is an organic type poison it won't last long at all.

Is there something better than poison? Yes...large nets pulled by barges that rake the suckers up in one big batch. All of the stuff they are using works...but it will only work if they use it all together as one big operation. As it stands they are really just poking this giant problem with a stick to see if it works. They are keeping the larger number of these carp out of the Lakes which is nice because as it stands only a small number of them are in and there are still fish in the Lakes that can do some ass kicking.

LOCKPORT, Ill. - Environmental officials say they have found a single Asian carp in a canal leading to Lake Michigan — the closest any of the giant fish have come to the Great Lakes.

Environmentalists fear the Asian carp could starve out other fish and devastate the $7 billion-a-year Great Lakes fishing industry.

Department of Natural Resources assistant director John Rogner says the single fish was found Thursday among tens of thousands of other species scooped up during a kill operation in the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.

When I lived in San Francisco they always had carp in tanks at the Chinese fish markets... and they invariably had these moldy-looking white spots all over them. Never been able to bring myself to eat carp because of that... just looked so incredibly nasty.

Yup... this poison is only likely to kill carp, goldfish, and a couple other species, is not harmful to life forms besides fish, and dissipates quickly. This stuff has been used for a while and when used properly is pretty benign as poisons go. I am not really a big advocate of dumping poison in waterways... but this state seriously doesn't need the collapse of another multi-billion dollar industry.

When we go carp fishing in Wisconsin it can actually bring us alot of money. The local mexican population really loves to eat the things and the local mexican restaurants and people pay top dollar for the big ones. I don't know why they don't fish for them but if they want to stand on the shore and wait for me to bring one in that is fine. The gave me some pan fried once...it wasn't really that bad...but just the thought of eating carp makes it so that I cannot say I enjoy it.

Yeah...sometimes we have to choose the lesser of two evils...and a poison that doesn't kill me is not very evil compared to a fish that likes to knock me over and destroy the river it lives in.
