Human kind

[Justin16]

I was just reading this Wikipedia article: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human

After reading it I started thinking, how can humans write about ourselves?

I then wondered, if we could make another animal speak, what would they actually say about us?

I feel they would say humans are the largest users of resources per head of life, we're the biggest wasters of all the animals on Earth, that we're the most destructive life form to have ever existed on the face of the planet and that if humans were eradicated it would be the best thing for this planet.

Are humans really that advanced?

i would say that humans aren't as much advance as animals yes we have different ability but we lack which animals have they can live in nature without harming it they can do as much things as we do take the ants as example they have colony's that work together in the gathering of food water and other things
humans always want to move forwards and don't think about what there doing to make it like using animals to experiment with or using the natural environment for there liking

I think that's a very pessimistic way of looking at things. Nature is all about balance, but the exact nature of the balance changes over time. If you look at the fossil record, there have been other times when one species becomes the dominant form of life, but nature gradually adjusts for any imbalance. If humanity keeps doing what it's doing to the world sooner or later something's going to give and humans will suffer, but nature as a whole will be just fine. Even now it's not like we're the only species benefiting while all the others suffer; now is also a wonderful time to be a mouse, rat, pigeon, or cockroach to name a few.

I've never seen another species with buildings and a population that inhabits most of the land on Earth. So I think, yes, we are advanced. Sure, I would agree that we are the biggest polluters on the planet and destroy the most resources. But then again, I've never seen animals with technology to cause pollution. We are the only species to know and care about our environment. So yes, we are advanced, compared to other animals.

Wow, I don't think you could have a more negative view of human kind even if you tried.

We have better mental capabilities than animals. Our technological advancements are greater than any other animal are able of too. It is by these advancements that we are polluting the environment, and it will be by more advancements that we will be able to live in an eco-friendly and sustainable manner without regressing.

Does this have any point? Or is it another: '' ohh we're so horrible we should whip ourselves & eradicate the entire human race so all the fluffy bunnies could live happily without being tortured by our mean experiments & craving for bunny flesh ''

Though yes the ''human race'' does waste alot of things but this is a society problem not a problem of race.

And I doubt the animal could say much about us even if we mutated its tongue, vocal cords and its brain and who the hell knows what else to make it speak

So in general instead of wasting mental resources on negative & pointless c**p like this focus on living your own life as best as you can for yourself, others & the enviroment

Once people realize that the society around the bloody world will change for the better

That'll get no argument from me. Besides, it's really hipocritical(I get the feeling I mispelled that) for the OP to be sitting in front of a computer, in a house that's made of a dozen trees held together by toxic sludge, wearing clothes that are either synthetic or made from poor, defenseless plants, to question the advancement of the human race.

We all know that environmental damage is a problem; saying anything at all about it(in the accusitive tone that you did) damn near qualifies as trolling unless you have some blinding insight into unseen problems or ways to fix them.
