Query: Why are animals regarded more highly in some respects than humans?

Started by FeceMan12 pages

Statement: Shakyamunison is confusing "common sense" and "knowledge" with "intelligence."

Statement: Mentally retarded people are part of the human race, a race that, except in a few cases, vastly succeeds any other species in mental prowess.

Declaration: FeceMan would not classify a retarded person as an animal, just as he would not classify an exceptionally intelligent dog as a person.

We are smarter then other animals just like other animals are stronger then us. Millions of years ago, our ancestors found that intelligence gave then an evolutionary advantage. We as the human animal have developed this advantage to a great degree. Just because we are smarter, does not mean that we are better. The idea that we are better then other animals is a slippery slope. I brought up the mentally retarded because, maybe you would not take away their rights, but other people in the past have, and they were systematically killed. Human arrogance can become very “animal like”. Proof that we are animals comes from the fact that we can kill each other with no feeling.

If that's your idea of wrath you must be a pretty sensitive kid.

Heh, people who say that animals are equal to us fail.
We are not better at least.

We are animals, we are sentient ones, no doubt...but...you can prove that's a good thing?

Maybe, dunno. The Liosn and Tigers won't save the world when Athe Aliens invade. The Gorrilas won't fly a space ship up to the giant asteroid and blow it up before it hits Earth.

And they will not cause global warming.

Neither will humans.

How? Because humans survive? Are you already going by the premise that Humans are awesome to prove that humans are awesome? Seems circular in a way.

Then again circular reasoning is valid due to circular reasoning being valid.

Well they were here before us and will be here after us unless we kill them all off. 😉

O.K. let me get this straight, you roll around in your faeces? Hump peoples legs. Sniff peoples butts when you first meet them?

Good for you.

Moron, those animals are AS EVOLVED AS US -- fact. They are as evolved as they need to be, they don't need the skill to create items and hold them -- but they might need a long neck to reach a high-up branch, as does the giraffe. The slug is as evolved as us, as it survives in the world. Anything alive today WORKED and so still exists... creatures that died out years ago didn't evolve enough and thusly -- they died. By 'evolved' I mean 'at the stage of almost perfect survival'. Go do your homework, Yo Mom. Seriously.

Statement: Physical power is merely physical power. It can be used in one way. Human intelligence, on the other hand, can be used in a variety of ways, as FeceMan has already demonstrated.

Declaration: Humans are superior because of their mental capacity. No other species has a conscience, the ability to produce and ejoy art, the ability to invent and produce. No other animal can communicate as humans communicate.

However with our great understanding of language, math and technology we don’t truly understand how animals communicate with each other. We can record the sounds and try and duplicate the responses but we are only imitating and not communicating.

Statement: FeceMan was unaware that "art" consisted of a single medium.

Quotation: "Be fruitful and increase in number; fill the earth and subdue it. Rule over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air and over every living creature that moves on the ground."

You define one ability as superior so you can call the animals that posess it superior.

Ooooh, Brian won't be too happy to hear about that.
