Being able to survive in the wild is one thing, but destroying the wild so we don't have to is a totally different idea. Most humans take our own evolution for granted, and wouldn't last seconds out in the wild even WITH tools should they have to.
We're not superior. Not anymore. Our ancestors, the cave men that discovered fire, the first hunter that made a bow and arrow. THEY were superior. Anymore we're just afriad of what would happen if we WEREN'T superior, so instead of looking at the truth and continuing our advancement, we maintain our condescending air towards all the other creatures of the world and slowly rot.
Temporary superiority once more in effect.
If everyone was like the eco-friendly scientist, looking for ways to advance our society and right the wrongs we've commited without making even more wrongs, then we would still be superior.
Unfortunately, that utopian dream has yet to become a reality, and instead this world is full of ignorant fools who live life for their own satisfaction, no matter what must be destroyed to achieve that.
THAT is why we are an inferior species in the long-term.
Then why hasn't he? Because Bin Laden's honestly nothing more than a coward, but I don't want to get started on the whole terrorism debate. That's something for another topic.
(Note: I'm not saying Bush is the sharpest knife in the drawer either, though.)
I didn't say weapons were the only reason, I also noted that I have a talent for watching people, figuring out patterns, and making plans. If weapons were the only factor that make me superior, then there are plenty of people who beat me out.
Looking at things from a nature standpoint, for every ONE human you save, you're introducing another natural predator into the earth. A natural predator that has no predator of its own. Therefor, it is likely to survive. As the predator (human) population goes up, the prey (crops, food animals, etc.) population goes down. Slowly, but it does whether you believe it or not.
Eventually, the amount of prey available reaches a dead point. It can no longer sustain the number of predators using it. The human population has to find SOME way of going down, or risk going extinct itself. People start dying of starvation.
Because you saved that one person, no matter how small an effect he/she had, they had an effect in reaching that point. In the end, saving that person ended up dooming the race.

You bring it upon yourself... You can't expect me to take you seriously when you go blabin on about how you can kill someone you don't know anything about...
The fact that I didn't say it was the only reason should've been a hint... And as mentioned previously, as we're talking about species, this is one of the most important points... I was also replying to our fellow retard, Tenchu... If you knew him at all, you'd see he's into violence etc, so Killing would be the think he'd understand... Me explaining the levels of communication we have, intellect, intellegence, ingenuity etc would've just confused him...
Dude, what are you talking about? I love how people jump into a thread and start putting words in my mouth... What the heck does destroying the wild got to do with anything I said? Secondly, not everyone is materialistic, so your statement about us not being able to survive in the wild is just stupid. MOST people would survive... The majority that wouldn't be able to cope would be the ones that are medically weak... i.e. have weak natural defence systems... low white blood cell count etc etc..
Right... cavemen are superior to animals and us... Thats a good one...
What the heck kinda superiority are you talking about? From what I understand, you're saying that we're inferior because we destroy the planet???!!! What's that got to do with superiority???
I'm starting to get tired of your babling about nothing... We're an inferior species to others because we seek instantanious pleasure? Dude, most predetors don't eat all of what they kill... So I'd say their waste makes them inferior too... Or are you gonna bring out some earthly natural balance of how the vulchurs get to eat the left-overs... of course... the predators do this on purpose to give food to the vulchurs
ahhahaha... you just totally missed the point there... The fight isn't Bush vs Bin Laden atm is it? It's US/West vs Taliban... The fact that the Taliban is still alive with their lack of technology suggests that their leader is smarter and "superior" to the wests leader... That's in Laymans terms for you.
Okay Leon or assasin guy... Whatever you say
I'm sure someone said this to your ridiculous logic... If you believe you this mumbo jumbo, would you start by killing yourself? Afterall, you're part of this digusting species that's infesting the earth and destroying, and according to you, the only way around it is to reduce the population... So, would you be the first to take the step required? If not, then I suggest you go keep these kind of theories in your little "I hate the world" Journal.
