Biodiversity is one of those things I know has a lot of benefits but can never explain the benefits without look them up.
The whole "having birds is good because they eat spiders" thing is pretty simple and I feel sorry for people who can't grasp the value in not living in spider-ridden hellscapes.
Boss: The exhaust fan for the donut fryer sounds like it just exploded.
Me: *checks fan* The exhaust fan for the donut fryer did explode. *checks Grainger* The soonest we can get one that doesn't cost $1400 is Tuesday.
Boss: We have to have one now, frying donuts for 3 days without an exhaust fan will be hell.
Me:

well yeah but if guam had been a place of much spiders before, killing off the bird-eating species there to get more birds and less spiders would also be a bad idea.

Diversity in general is like that. Like you are much more likely to solve problems with a diverse team just because they can approach any problem from a variety of angles, and it's obvious that specialization and being identical breeds extinction, but it's hard to concretely form that thought or explain.

Birds usually do ok population wise even without predation.
Basically none of those tiny island ecosystems naturally included predators that ate the birds.
Russia's doing some good old chestbeating. Everybody likes to do a bit of banging on their chest every once in a while, but Putin seems to like doing it a bit too much.
Because of said chestbeating affinity, my international security professor recommended to us students that Finland ought to seek NATO membership, or barring such, a separate defensive pact with the USA.
So, uh, guys.
I've got Berserk, Trigun and Gungrave on DVD, I'd be delighted to share if you'd lend us a nuke or two.
Alright and in this next scene all the animals have AIDS.
I got a little excited when I saw your ship.

Russia's chest beating is on the level with North Korea's chest beating though. Their military is so hilariously under-funded and outdated at this point.

It helps ensure spiders check their privilege.

guamians are now reaping the spider-and-snake harvest they've sown.

Nothing a pair of pliers can't solve.
Or not dropping acid.

next it'll be scientists have noted spiders growing larger in response to the brown tree snakes
and then
spiders have acquired a taste for brown tree snake flesh
and then
tree snakes eradicated, island children mysteriously disappear
yeah although i've never looked into it in detail
alternately I can drive down to SD as well
Thanks for the warning.
alright that's it
this 4th of july, obama should invite the russians to not just go around guam, but fly straight over it, preferrably dropping bombs as they go

my jaws are too small really
dentist removed two from the top, a long time ago, but not two from the bottom, and now the bottom feels jammed
Better use, like, ten just to be safe.
Haha, so there aren't even spiders left? I don't know if you could do it.
And napalm.
Just rip up the island and set it on fire.
I've got the small jaw thing, too. I feel your discomfort.
At best we can only hope for detente, until the spiders inevitably gain nuclear capability.
guam is small.
We'll build a new Guam, with black jack and hookers.
The one in sandals will be the first to die.
hmm but you always drive down
we could go up to la, don't a few chatters still live there
vh did I can't remember if he still does

As it should be in all cases.

No Spider-Man is an island.

I know, but life is tenacious. I'd fully expect some kind of pregnant subterranean spider to live.
one of these MIRVs should do the trick.
Think how much we would learn by studying the aftereffects of a spider-free Earth. It will totally be worth the downside.

I dunno if anyone is here right now. I thought VH moved away long ago, before my time. Inqui is in Japan.
