I agree about the times it takes to grow and all BUT the demand for paper is higher than can be covered by even 100 acres of trees if every tree takes 10 years to grow back.
Also, have you heard of the potato famine? Potato farms dried up and forced many residents of Ireland to leave permanently. And, since tree farms exist in moderation and have only small amounts of land, we don't rely on them much and instead focus on deforestation.
Soon, without intervention, trees will become extinct.
Strange Archea, I thought you were talking to blood mage. I am no idiot who has done done his research, and in fact I used to believe the same as Blood mage on this subject. Than I got exposed to the truth, and started looking for myself.
You are really talking to blood mage, you just don't know it. It's funny though how your words so much more aptly describe him and his stubborn refusal to accept reality, and that he is wrong, than they do to me. I am not convinced I am right, I am right, and know it for fact. The truth is out there, if you care to find it. Or you can just hang out on websites like this, where everyone will agree with you, and no one will challenge you. If someone doe's flame em and boot em. LOL it's hilarious how you two have enabled each other to believe you are not talking about yourselves, and that you are right, not wrong. Guess in the end that's why you are here. Bye bye.
Prehaps citing specifics and links would be better then insisting the education of others is lacking?
Regardless of opinion, though it does appear that both parties arguing believe whole heartidly in their specific perspective, it would be best to allow a young tree to continue to grow and harvest an older tree for wand wood.
Economicly the wood is going to be springy and tough, which could be unfavourable for easy carving. Spiritually an older tree would have absorbed more energy in its lifetime.
And perspectivly it would be best to allow the tree its chance to grow instead of cutting bits off while its young.
It would be nice for people to, at this point, accept each others opinions and let things be. Yes?
I just have to say, if you are right then more power to you!! Either of you..but here is NOT the place to fight for or against the forests...I have a rule, if it is not is use by the natural force it belongs to..ei if it is on the ground, or cast off by the wind, one can use it..no killing trees, no national debate of weather you should kill the tree or not!! Blood is right, and you are right...won't do any good to tell either of you otherwise..now take your debating attitude some where else..thank you!
