• Welcome to The Cave of Dragonflies forums, where the smallest bugs live alongside the strongest dragons.

    Guests are not able to post messages or even read certain areas of the forums. Now, that's boring, don't you think? Registration, on the other hand, is simple, completely free of charge, and does not require you to give out any personal information at all. As soon as you register, you can take part in some of the happy fun things at the forums such as posting messages, voting in polls, sending private messages to people and being told that this is where we drink tea and eat cod.

    Of course I'm not forcing you to do anything if you don't want to, but seriously, what have you got to lose? Five seconds of your life?

Humanity

So you eat meat but criticise people who kill animals to eat their meat.
Er.

And yeah, not only ants, but there some species of apes that have been known to form distinct groups, get weapons (sticks and things) and ambush other groups for no goddamn reason. A small war erupts, they kill each other for a bit and then go and chill.

chimps do this a lot, it's actually quite brutal. they form bands and then ambush lone chimps and beat them to death and then they eat them.
 
blah blah blah humanity sucks blah blah blah am i cool now guys

Jesus Christ, people aren't nearly as bad as everyone likes to make out. Yeah, okay, we've done a lot of stupid shit to the world but we're working on it. It's people who insist on driving huge SUVs and trucks etc and people who don't do simple things like turn lights off when they leave a room etc that make it worse.

Humanity isn't really worse than any other animal and indeed I'd even say we're a damn sight better. I'm not sure why it's "cool" to hate people, I mean sure some people are cunts but the majority of people aren't.

Hooray! You took the words right out of my mouth. :D

The reason I started this debate is because I noticed that, both the internet and in real life, there's a LOT of people who think that misanthropy is a one-way ticket to being cool and "deep", without even considering that really, we aren't that bad. Also, we're the only species that's able to judge our own actions and realize we've done something wrong and need to fix it.

i know this is a bit off-topic, and I'm not trying to be patronizing, but I really am glad I've finally found a board that has some common sense. Thanks, guys. :D
 
Yeah, um. I still agree with Music Dragon. XD In the end a human's priority is to look out for number one, which is generally what he has to do in order to survive. Sometimes this has bad consequences for other animals, the environment, and whatnot, but usually the human wasn't ill-intentioned; he was just acting in his own best interests.
