HUMAN BEINGS

We are smarter because we do understand shit. No animal will ever write a book, ever, without being taught. That elephant who paints? Is that your evidence that we are all basically as intelligent or less intelligent than say, a sloth? I understand you're from Seattle and it's really foggy there and you throw paint on fur and so on...and that's all cute.
But we are superior to animals. It doesn't have to do with believing in Jesus or fuckin George Bush or Fox News. It's a simple matter of observation. If man one can read and write, and man two can just read, man one is superior! It's amazing how that goes. It's almost like 2...plus 2...is four. I don't know. That's just neat-o in my opinion.
Dogs have an intricate system of communication. Wolf howls have actually been decoded and wolves have been known to visit friends, exhibit social choice in interactions and have personal preferences about companions not based on packing order, etc. Whoopy doo.
Reality REALLY tells us that we are unique in the Animal Kingdom. You say we are the same because we eat, sleep, fuck, etc. So are humans plants? Are plants the same? They reproduce, eat, some do something that approximates "sleep" at certain times in their lives. Maybe molds and fungi? Is athlete's foot the same as say, Mcleanhatch? Religion has shit to do with it.
Get at me when some dogs send up a satellite.

I'd say superior.
When two animals compete for resources, and one animal has an advantage, and takes the resource, that animal is superior. The losing animal dies out and the winner wins.
So...look at the world, and one concludes that we are winning.
This implies superiority. Does it mean that we are moral or ethical? Does it mean we take care of the earth, endangered species, our atmosphere, as is our responsibility?
No. But we are superior. We will just have to disagree on that.

HERESY,
YOU BEAT ME TO IT. LOL.
I'M SURRISED NOBODY HAS CAME WITH THE "ALL" REASONS WHY WE ARE SUPERIOR AND DIFFERENT FROM N-E ANIMAL OR MAMMAL. NOT ONLY OUR BRAINS(RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR CONSIENCE, SUB-CONSCIENCE, EMOTIONS, INTELLIgENCE, SENSES, COMMUNICATION, ETC....) ARE SUPERIOR, BUT OUR "THUMBS" ALLOW US TO DO THINgS ANIMALS CAN'T DO.
1. WE CAN gRAB SHIT
X. WE CAN WRITE AND DRAW
3. WE CAN MAKE TOOLS AND MORE TOOLS THAT MAKES MORE TOOLS AND CALIBRATE THEM.
F. WE CAN MEASURE.
WHAT ELSE? SO WE ARE MORE THAN ANIMALS. JUST PUT IT THAT WAY.

i say we go back to survival of the fittest.
i heard this somewhere and i totally agree with it....
take off all the warning labels off EVERYTHING.
if your going to drink paint or eat a whole bottle of tylenol, you should die. we dont need idiots making babies to create more idiots
and fuck fences around a bridge, if your that stupid to jump off, then you should die.
there is all sorts of examples. this species we call humans is over populated and there are WAY to many idiots roaming around safely.
fuck that, we need to clean up the population, and i hate to say it but if what i wanted came true, im sure 75% of the siccness would no longer be here

Haha of course we're animals... what kind of question is that? Were mammals, what the fuck else would we be? Some of you are extremely ignorant.
And by the way, YES we HAVE classified ourselves as animals. lol.
And NO... humans do not run the planet, not even remotely close. Consider the fact that Humans inhabit less than 1% of the earth's surface. Also consider that land mass is only 30% of the earth's surface and that there are billions more species in the ocean than there are on land.
Please stop being so extremely narrow-minded and take a look at the big picture.

Anything on this earth that matters has been altered or manipulated by humans. We are the only species that is not a dependant on a static environment, and actively manipulates that environment(i.e. terraforming). Put a Deer, a Human, and a Dog in a room full of objects and see who effects the greatest change on that environment. Humans could quite easily destroy the planet if need be (and we may be on the path already).
Correction... Anything that matters to HUMANS or is in our immediate habitat has been altered or manipulated by humans.
Manipulating the environment is not a trait wholly belonging to humans. Insects like ants or termites that build elaborate tunnels and networks. Beavers build dams in rivers and streams which end up creating ponds. Or how about birds that take objects from the environment and build nests?
MOST animals manipulate their environment to make it more suitable to their needs. To think that what we do by coming in and taking objects from the environment to build homes and developments is any different is abstract and absurd.
In a room full of objects? Of course they can't do as much as us in OUR home/habitat which we created. It's like asking if the italian soccer team is going to win in their own stadium... of course.
How about lets put a human thousands of feet under the ocean where most terrestrial activity goes on and see if he can compete with deep sea creatures. Nope he can't even survive, that's why we live on land. We (humans) are only capable of surviving in very specific habitats.
I can guarantee there will be life on this planet LONG after we are gone. We may destroy our own environment, and that of other mammals and animals, but we don't have enough influence to actually wipe out ALL life (bacteria included) on this earth.
As long as this planet is spinning and is roughly 1 AU distance from the sun, then there will be a species able to survive somewhere on this planet, in whatever climate.
