Treadwell was a moron who pushed his luck for years, I have seen many clips of him patting bears on the arse when they were trying to hunt salmon. One turned on him so quick he was lucky it stopped itself from killing him there and then.
Bears are generally really peaceful if you respect them and know their behaviour - he did not and paid the price.
Bears scare me to death. I'll never forget that horrific bear attack on that young girl. She phoned her mother while it was eating her...her mum had to listen to that. It gave me nightmares that fucking story.

Grizzles (and brown bears) are so aggressive because before we came along and wiped everything out around 10-15 thousand years ago they had to compete with far more powerful predators, the huge Sabretooths, the great American 'Lion', the massive Short Faced Bear etc.
Black bears are so good at climbing trees because until very recently (in evolutionary terms) they were simply prey animals for the above.
Then we turned up - the apex of apex killers (apart from Rexy of course).

Trying to be mates with huge wild bears just isn't ever going to work.
I hate to see them in zoo's too, why cant people just leave them alone.

Yeah, while I would still back pack or camp in areas with brown or grizzly bears, I'm glad they are only found in a few states. The black bears aren't much of a problem, but we did have a women get killed by one a few weeks ago in Colorado.
Bear spray does a pretty good number on them and that's readily available for people who spend time playing in their habitat.

I think that's what most people want to do. While I think it would be cool to see one (they don't have them in my part of Texas), I'm fine with watching from a distance. I don't need to sit and have tea with one.

The Munker-White Illusion.
Just shows how easily our brains can be fooled.
The actual colour of the spheres is this rather dull beige once the foreground stripes are removed.

I rather like this.
My Grandad and Grandma (RIP) fought in the war and had nothing but respect for the ordinary German soldiers - the Nazi and SS scum were a different matter.
Taffy in particular (as he fought in the desert) thought Irwin Rommel was a very fair man. - is that PC? Probably not but at least the my Grandad lived through it before all the wokes and virtue signallers start their ill informed shite on here.

Interesting article on the reality of Ghosts - it's pretty much what I think because subjective experiences don't count as scientific evidence (of which so far there is zero).
If there were such a thing as spirits then surely the Nazi Concentration Camps (for a start) would be utterly seething with them?

If you died at a concentration camp why the fuck would you hang around there?

IF spirits can hang around after the body dies, could they choose where they stayed I wonder.

You might not have a choice in the matter.
