I call you a child because 1. I have a few years on you and 2. You are blind to the big picture. Ignorant to the true ways of people. When was I ever insulted? We believe in two opposite views. I believe you're views are wrong. It is as simple as that. It was not random name calling. Nazi's followed orders without questioning what they were doing. As much of society does today. I honestly don't care what you believe. You told your views , and then I told mine. Feel free to believe what you want I just think you are wrong. Why do I believe I am right? why do you not? People continue to prove again and again and again how fucked up we are. How fucking arrogant we are how down right cynical we are. "I would be surprised if you formulated 1% of what you believe." Not quite sure what you mean by that.

People are pathetic animals. The only thing remotely impressive about us is our brain, and even then the only impressive thing about it is that it gives us reason. People say human reason is what separates us from the animals. However their are people who don't listen to reason. Ignorant people such as Racists so tell me are they still people? or just animals?

I guess it was wrong for me to expect you to realize all of the fucked up things other animals do. I guess it was wrong for me to expect you to see what I was saying. I understand that you think I'm blind because I believe something different than you, and I'm sorry you think that. I really think you could have learned something from me. I don't know why you think we're all pathetic. Just because Hitler destroyed millions doesn't mean I did. I also don't know why it matters what you think.

And as far as racism goes, it's a left over mechanism from when we used to act more like animals. Think about how geese won't land in a pond if there's just a single swan present there. Compassion is most prevalent in humanity than in anything else, I don't know what made you think animals were more loving than we are. Nothing is perfect, but we're the only ones trying to be, and that's what makes us better than the others.

When I was little, I was asked, "If I could be any animal, what would I be?" I said I wanted to be a human. It's easy to miss out on things you've had your whole life. I'm not surprised that you don't think humans are special, because you are a human, and you take what you have for granted.

You think we're so cold just because we've done some bad things? You belong to a family of creatures who feel bad because what they eat has feelings. We're carnivores, and we feel bad about that. You think a bunch of monsters would feel bad for eating meat? There are some bad humans, but we're a pretty good lot.

Humanity is not perfect, given time, we will do horrible things, that is a guarantee.And what we have done will never change. You can't change the past, and crying over what you can't change is just a waste of time. So why don't you give us a second chance? Let's figure the universe out, let's cure diseases, let's save some species from extinction, and let's not be like the bad humans.

Humans are the result of every bad thing an animal is capable of doing put into one thing."Everything forces others to do their bidding. The earth is made a slave by the gravity of the sun, the trees enslaved by the fertility of the soil, the ant is made a slave by the queen, the ribosomes are enslaved by the nucleus, it is a trend followed throughout nature. Things end, things control one another, that is nature." Are fucking kidding me? That's not even remotely the same thing people took other people and treated them like they weren't people. Also all the fucking examples you gave are a give and take relationship. For instance the sun traps the earth, but gives it life.

I could go on talking to you , but you are a hopeless child. One who believes the lies told to them by mummy and daddy. The kind that does not argue with the way society raises us. Kind of like a Nazi just following the orders given on to you. Pathetic I hope you awaken soon kid.

You and I likely grew up in the same culture in which we are constantly told we are bad for being human, and no one, including you, has given me an actual reason to believe that. What I wrote up there is my pure skepticism of what I was told. I'm actually going against what my society tries to tell me, I'm not brainwashed.

Obviously, your profuse reference to my age is your desperate attempt to make yourself look more mature than me, ("...you are a hopeless child," "...lies told to them by mummy and daddy," "I hope you awaken soon kid.") You think just that is going to make you look more mature than me? After all of your paradoxical arguments?

You use ideas like the seven deadly sins to try to negate what I say, and then go on to tell me I'm following what other people tell me.

You call me pathetic, yet you become insulted when I believe something different than you. You fight tooth and nail to negate what I say, using the most flawed of arguments you can come up with, it's so moronic that I can barely believe it, and then you insult me, you randomly tell me I'm a Nazi, call me pathetic because you can't do anything to stop me from believing this. It's almost as though you're acting like some dramatic movie character, trying to sound compelling, but what you're really saying is just borderline unintelligible.
I ask you, why do you care what I believe? If you're so mature, why do you think what you believe is so right? My beliefs are the result of doubting everything, including what I have previously believed, and I would be surprised if you formulated 1% of what you believe.
If you really feel like being mature, like having a structured, productive conversation with someone who believes something different than you, I suggest you go through and read our conversation again, read what you said, read what I said. Think about it, and then tell me something intelligent.
If you really don't feel like being mature, do not comment again, as it will effect me negatively.

no, but we SHOULD appreciate that plenty species' extinction has been accelerated by our activities, so we're trying to right the wrong we've caused. I'm not saying we should kill ourselves, either - but I wouldn't put us on a pedestal, saying the world is better of with us, just because we're attempting to right our own wrongs.
#616 - ryderjamesbudde (03/03/2013) [-]
I see what you mean, but I do think that makes us special. Anything can make mistakes, but it's pretty hard to right your own wrongs. I mean, we're a species that feels bad for being carnivorous. We feel bad because what we're supposed to eat has feelings. That's kind of special. It's normal for animals to do horrible things, but when we do it, we get all self-critical, freak out, and say the world is better off without us.

I realize we're not perfect, I know of all the bad we do, and I know we do more bad than others, but I think we do more good than others too. They're just animals doing what they have to do, we're animals doing what we have to do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone. At this stage in our evolution, we're really just digging ourselves out of the hole we dug when we acted more like the others. Once we right our wrongs, I don't think we'll just stop there. That's why I think the world is better off with us.

We kill other animals for fun, We kill other people for fun, We are chained by other humans and forced to do their bidding, yeah we are civilized. The seven deadly sins are not man made Ideas they all exist in us. We just made them "important" , and I personally agree with it. They are all sins that we should not commit. Yet everyone of us does it. Imagine for a second a world where we weren't wrathful, or greedy, or lustful. what a perfect world that would be. No Hitlers, No Bernie Madoff's and no Josef Fritzl's. What we do is natural? Slavery, rape, murder yeah natural sounds about right. Humans defy their nature it's as simple as that. We aren't programmed to mate for life , and yet we try too. Humans think themselves better then all other animals, but were not .
#608 - ryderjamesbudde (03/02/2013) [-]
Okay, first of all every animal kills other animals for fun, including their own. Everything forces others to do their bidding. The earth is made a slave by the gravity of the sun, the trees enslaved by the fertility of the soil, the ant is made a slave by the queen, the ribosomes are enslaved by the nucleus, it is a trend followed throughout nature. Things end, things control one another, that is nature. You complain about us being under civilized, and then you complain about us not being natural enough, so quite frankly, I think you're arguing with yourself more than me.

Second, the seven deadly sins were just actions humans were capable of doing, and then a catholic priest used his beliefs to make them illegal to every human. I ask you, what happens when I commit these sins? Who punishes me for being human?

Third, I know you would like things to be perfect, everyone does. I can't believe that I'm the only who has told you this but, nothing is perfect. That's the truth. You're pissed off because bad things have happened? You're complaining to me about it? What do you want me to do?
Hitler was responsible for the deaths of millions of people, we all know that, but you think that because of that individual, the seven billion humans that exist today are all horrible? Did you ever hear about what happened during the holocaust? A fucking war started, because most of the human race didn't like what was happening, and Hitler was stopped because of it.
You treat the human race as if we are all just a bunch of homicidal maniacs, but if we were, we wouldn't exist, as we would have killed ourselves long ago. We're obviously a lot better than you think we are.

Fourth, every animal rapes and murders, but only humans say that it's wrong. It seems as though you hate nature more than you hate human civility.

You deeply need to rethink this. What's natural is what's possible. Nature isn't your belief system, it's the rules of the universe, it's called possibility.

It's like saying, "I want to stay on mi diet but I'm gonna eat this ice cream" you may want to be on a diet an become fit, but you want the ice cream more, that's why you eat it. So, as a species we would like for our animal/plant friends to be safe and ofr our human companions to be provided but we care A whole lot more about our own selves, that's why we won't stop destroying things until we absolutely realize that we're all gonna suffer the consequences, and it seems that point will be reached when situation is FUBAR. Or, the majority would like that kind of abuse to stop, but the majority aren't running things, even as most of them are led to believe so, that could be another reason.

yeah, sorry, that was brash of me.
okay. so we humans produce a hell of a lot of pollution. a HELL of a lot. so much that it's fucked up the ozone layer in some places. cows produce a hell of a lot too - but we're responsible for that because we made so bloody many of them.

as a conscious species, we have an ethical responsibility to try and fix what we reaped, no? or are you the type of person who goes through life doing shit and saying, 'other people have done worse things and thus I have no ethical responsibility to fix what I have done'?

forgive me sir, but your logic is mighty twisted. we strive for perfection in a way other species don't, but that's because they don't need to - we are far, far from the perfection they've already attained.
#607 - ryderjamesbudde (03/02/2013) [-]
"We have an ethical responsibility to try and fix what we reaped."

That's the exact idea I started with. The whole comment was focused on that idea.

Not only do we have that responsibility, we actually act on that responsibility. Humans are the only animals that are mindful of their surroundings. When we hunt too much, we figure it out, when we pollute too much, we figure that out too.

No species has attained perfection, no species is perfect. Every species will go extinct, whether their extinction was caused by a change in environment, or by an overly dangerous predator, or possibly by themselves, every species goes extinct. But only one species not only plans to save itself, but other species too.

Things aren't going well right now, but that doesn't mean we should all just kill ourselves. The earth is better off with us because we're the only ones capable of making intentional, beneficial changes, whether they're necessary because we need to correct our own wrongs, or the wrongs of everyone else.

I didn't realize I was speaking to someone who cared so practically about subjectivity and objectivity. Let's be objective then. Objectively, the human race is a group of organisms that has a negative effect on its environment. However, the human race recognizes the bad that it does, and tries to make up for it. It is the only group of organisms that does this.

So, as a species we would like for our animal/plant friends to be safe and ofr our human companions to be provided but we care A whole lot more about our own selves, that's why we won't stop destroying things until we absolutely realize that we're all gonna suffer the consequences, and it seems that point will be reached when situation is FUBAR. Or, the majority would like that kind of abuse to stop, but the majority aren't running things, even as most of them are led to believe so, that could be another reason.

People need to be poor to be industrious. That right there is why most powerful people won't do anything to stop it. As for those who are dying of hunger, measure could be taken, but taking Africa as an example, why would you want healthy, educated people living there if you can just suck up their resources?. There's a lot more other reasons, but I've given you a few so you can think a little.

Well, while I'm willing to admit we have flaws, it doesn't matter what I admit, because it is the regardless truth that mankind has flaws. My argument was not that we were perfect, it was that we were amazing, and that we are a lot better than people like to believe.
#469 - selfdenyingbeggar (03/02/2013) [-]
that's subjective as fuck. You could say that we're worse than we believe and also that we're better than we believe.
#486 - ryderjamesbudde (03/02/2013) [-]
I didn't realize I was speaking to someone who cared so practically about subjectivity and objectivity. Let's be objective then. Objectively, the human race is a group of organisms that has a negative effect on its environment. However, the human race recognizes the bad that it does, and tries to make up for it. It is the only group of organisms that does this.

We're better than some people believe because no one can seem to get that.

I don't think we're a cancer on this planet, and I think we have a lot of potential, more than we even have begun to explore. But I think the first part to really use that potential is to become conscious of how we're throwing it away to waste.

We can help it, if we were the reduce the amount of food consumed by people, especially considering the amount of waste there is, we could easily, at current world populations feed everyone. But its not economic, for multiple reasons, as pointed out by selfdenyingbeggar below

>We should help the starving
>By starving ourselves
Genius
#484 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
Exactly the reason we cant do it, that attitude. And no it would not be starving ourselves, people eat much more then is required to survive.
User avatar #552 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
Not all of them. We should sacrifice it for those who don't have anything? It sounds cruel but I'm not giving up my food when I haven't enough for myself.
#581 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
If you dont have enough, then you would be one of the ones given extra food. It would not be taking food from someone like you, it would be from those who eat more then is required, who waste to much.
User avatar #585 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
I have enough, but not enough to give. I'm middle class. I wouldn't accept food either. Rich or poor people starve, I wouldn't take someone's food.

The only solution to save the Earth. Kill yourself. Do it.
#502 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
Nope, the way to saving Earth is to live a more sustainable lifestyle.
#506 - alucardarian (03/02/2013) [-]
And what are you doing to achieving that end?
#521 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
Water tank, solar panels, vegetable garden, compost, only at a necessity do I drive, recycling etc.

So really so far, not a huge amount, but then Im only young and cannot afford, as sadly the more sustainable option are more often then not, the more expensive.
User avatar #553 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
You aren't helping anyone with a two foot wide compost bucket, btw.
#582 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
Its about making your footprint smaller, if everyone were to have a two foot wide compost it would help... You seem to forget the fact that people need to do things on an individual level as well as trying to influence other to do so.
User avatar #584 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
Not everyone is going to. Most people won't. They shouldn't have to and there is no need to beside speculation by some a compound piles effect on the environment has never been confirmed. They don't even know if cars cause global warming.
#588 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
Your last sentence just proved how much of a retard you are, and how do you not get the concept of each person reducing their individual ecological footprint. If everyone does even a little, not everyone of course will at first, but its a gradual thing, the more people that do it, the more pressure others will feel to do so as well. Eventually leading to a majority doing so.
User avatar #589 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
The man who brought the polar ice caps melting to the public got in trouble for false journalism. I am actually of a higher intelligence than you. You also just indirectly made a pretty good example of sheeple.
#590 - kirbizzle (03/02/2013) [-]
You have no basis for your assumption that you are smarter then me.
What about them being sheeple? Is it not beneficial for the world if people are convince to live more sustainably? Even if you believe in global warming or not?
There have been more examples since that article, I assume you are talking about the one regarding the polar bears and the ice caps. The whole in the ozone layer, caused by humanity, is having a big impact on the polar caps. It is proven that the world is indeed warming, most scientists agree that its being sped up by humanity, others do not. Either way, the ice caps are still melting, which can be seen by the fact that they are infact getting smaller.
User avatar #591 - vaultboyy (03/02/2013) [-]
Well, "...Smarter then me." made no sense. And the same can be said for you. You called me retarded with no basis. So why shouldn't I resort to pointing out that my intelligence is far higher than yours? We have differing opinions, it does not make either of us any dumber. If anything, we are both intellectuals for having carried on an argument with valid points for so long.
#424 - selfdenyingbeggar (03/02/2013) [-]
we can help it. If you think we can you've got to do some research.
#429 - ryderjamesbudde (03/02/2013) [-]
A good percentage of the population doesn't want people to die of starvation, and that same percentage of people can't do anything to stop it. There are some selfish people out there that could do something, but like I said, we're not perfect.
