QUIT BEING COWARDS AND START FIGHTING FOR WHAT IS MORALLY CORRECT!!!
So those people who left Europe to conquer the New World that is today America were COWARDS?
You have the audacity to decide what is morally correct?
I'll be part of the solution alright... shanghai you and put ya on the first mining ship out to the asteroid belt

Well I didn't say they were NICE about it. But maybe they will pick a world not already occupied this time so they won't need to evict the previous tenants

I actually don't hold responsibility for the actions for every other human being who existed.
And if I do own their faults, then surely I also own their greatness too.
You go ahead and try and fix the past. I'd start small if I was you - it'll take you more than your entire life to just fix what happened yesterday.

Complex life requires cross pollination for truly diverse and strong long term survival, particularly in cases of isolation effects.
Biosphere colliding, remixing, and coming up with newer and stronger biospheres with ever greater ability to cross pollinate is something you should consider to be a norm. It clearly is all around you.

Staying on one planet because you say so isn't moral. There is no intrinsic "right-er-ness" to staying in one place until everyone is perfect by YOUR standard.
Frankly, it is smarter and more moral to not overcrowd your aquarium, but buy as many aquariums as is needed to keep things in good balance and spread things out. Better for the inhabitants. More moral since you KNOW what is going to happen when there are too many of them, or what will happen when the light burns out and the air pump stops working.
Or, maybe we could all crowd into one aquarium and wait until we are eating each other and some with more vision choose on occasion to flush some excess down the toilet to keep things working.
Should you try to live a good life, be kind, be smart, lend a hand, respect others, live with respect of your environment, etc, etc. Yep.
But frankly, if I locked all my kids in one room until when one of them was bad and told them that none of them could come out until everyone was good all the time, that wouldn't make me a better person than you. But you think that doing it on a GLOBAL scale makes you not some form of Machiavellian Utopian tyrant.

The Earth is alive. It is a complex living system which undergoes massive challenges to its survival regularly. The least of which so far is humans.
The Earth's biosphere acts like a living system with will to survive, because it is. And that living system, like all living systems on it has an essential drive to spread itself to fill niches into which it can fit. That is what living systems do to best promote their survival.
I am not a separate entity on this planet. I am an essential element which reflects the biosphere itself. I am a product of the Earth, because the Earth itself has a need for survival that cannot be incidentally.
When "I" leave, I take with me a "seed" of this biosphere.
And like every living system from lichen to elephants, viruses and bees, when that bit of pollen hits another biosphere the recombination of living biospheres will begin. It is a good thing.
Your view is much too narrow.

I just did a thread on a similar story, though my article was from 1978 Air University Review, January-February 1978

maybe that will be the NWO agenda... shanghai people and stuff em on space crafts out bound to the colonies to man those mines

So when you say "Not occupied." I guess you mean Mars or similar planet.

If NASA ever gets a clear directive for interplanetary exploration, a new Hundred-Year Starship could be their version of the Mayflower.
Your thread is open and available to the public, sad or should i say the predictable aspect of it all is that it will be swept into the time frame of the internet. But hey, that;s fine since 60% + - may think otherwise, but when it comes down to crunch the time, the majority react to a pre defined stimulation.
It is truly an art.
