Oh, but they do. They care for their species just as much as we humans do for our own. Although, I tend to care more so about animals.

I mean, what have we really improved by being here? The good we have done is so greatly outweighed by the bad, not to mention that half the good only benefits ourselves.

see? then you can't exterminate me.

trust me, cockroaches would not be any better if they were in charge.

the thing is, we are a part of nature, and nature can be a royal bitch. just watch those national geographic shows.

the problem is that we impose certain moral standards ("be good") on nature, including our own nature. but nature has its own agenda. like george carlin said, maybe the earth made us because it needed plastic, ha ha. what i mean is that we sometimes put unrealistic expectations on ourselves. we're just animals...!

the worst people in history in fact have been those who exterminate others-- hitler, pol-pot, stalin, etc.

and how could you exterminate porkie? he's hilarious, and i can't rep him any more.

by the way, my cat has FIV, he wouldn't survive for long in the wild.

and where was i going with this? ah yes-- well life does not come without some harsh realities that we need to... digest, at a certain point. it's ok to feel outraged at some realities, but don't let it bring you down because then hm well then you can't do what you need to compensate for the fucking bastards who give humans a bad name.

Also, it should be noted I read the thread title as "What do you think of humus?"

 

[Norma J]

I like humus.

Funny that this thread should come up today because just today in my English class we were talking about this.

Are humans born good but society turns them evil? Or are humans born evil and it is up to society to help?

[Norma J]

I concur with the statement that humans are 'selfish fuckers'. I haven't made that clear in my posts. But education is the answer.

Nowhere in my post did I state that I am speaking for anyone other than myself.

Your knitpicking has been miscalculated.

dr. crypto, let me just chime in to say that nazi germany was the apex of civilization at the time hitler took over. they used their highly developed science, philosophy and technology to put people in ovens.

i would suggest mass therapy, but that would be a logistical nightmare.

if we could keep from raising childen in neglect and in abusive environments, however, we could change history in a single generation. (but the chances of that...)

I agreed with Emmahs opening post. Is that so hard for you to grasp? Your statement would be correct if I were to have said "I concur with the millions..." But that's not the case.

[!@#$%!]

ow, and now the forces of dorkness begin to take over...

i prize too much my good digestion to stay & watch the unpleasantness that will ensue.

edit- a terribly well informed and educated statement.

Learn how to quote and then we'll discuss this further. Until then, find yourself more straws to pull.

If used the right way, yes it could be.

You're still not saying much,though.

Not true. There are a lot of people who are just stupid. There are people who are uneducated, but there are also millions who will simply not be able to progress beyond their certain limited parameters. Education works for people with the capacity to absorb and retain it, and a lot of people simply cannot and do not have that capacity. They will always exist and they always breed.

A good teacher should be able to find some way of getting through to any student, no matter the level of their intelligence.

I agree with the highlighted part.
