No comment... your not getten the point of what i said at all, and ur takin a damn line out of context



Er ya im pretty sure we have atleast proven that the earth isnt flat, and im pretty sure that scientists have determined that there is no way to categorize humans into different races, therefore common sense white people cant be superior to black people.

You have not given any real evidence. You have listed facts
... nice

And about us being different ive said that we are no different then any other animal so this argument You've only said that we are "different". just died.
Ive listed evidence that proves that we are similar to other animals (there would be my argument).
And also in debate weather or not to define a word is up to weather either side wants too or not, now because what an animal is is called common knowledge i chose not to define it, but if ya want me to...

Heres what it is scientificaly
"Animals are a major group of mostly multicellular, eukaryotic organisms of the kingdom Animalia or Metazoa. Their body plan eventually becomes fixed as they develop, although some undergo a process of metamorphosis later on in their life. Most animals are motile, meaning they can move spontaneously and independently. All animals are also heterotrophs, meaning they must ingest other organisms for sustenance."

and yes thats C/p thank wikipedia

Now what im talking about is what we think of as animals, thats a bit different.
What we commonly think of as animals is the very same HOWEVER many people exclude humans, and ive looked into why and could find know answer as to why, and thus i started a discussion about it.
Because you seem to believe that we are not on the same level as other animals (or that we are special) perhaps you could explain the difference between us (and thats where what ive listed comes in because it kills any valid argument)

in our basic forms yes we are animals, but what sets us apart from them, is that we can do, think, and act our own way... as they have no basic structure

of society, and all the shitty things that come with it, like greed and misfortune,

so to classify us as animals, would be a good thing becuz although they are ignorant, they are blissful in all their days here on earth.

Heres a scientific facts ( i can get more but im lazy )
Lions are predatory carnivores who manifest two types of social organization. Some are residents, living in groups, called prides.

An alpha male and a queen are also apparently not part of a society queen.

We really arnt special, thats all im sayin

basically what i said, we aren't nothing but chemicals formed together just the right way to maintain a mind and possibly a spirit that can or cannot make it through

this world on its own without something providing for it...

animals can live off the land while we would destroy it and hope to build something worthwhile.

But ur sayin we r different, Im sayin we r the same as animals, just a few thousand years of technology is the only difference
Both beavers and viruses destroy there surroundings like we do (there are other animals as well, but im still lazy)

they don't destroy it... they take what was already destroyed by natural causes... and only enough to have a home, we take and take and take...

till nothing is left, therefor relying on other people to get it for us...

they can do it all on thier own with the help of nature.

He meant destroying with the knowledge that it is destroying things, and also destroying his own species.

Beavers only know that they need a home to protect themselves from predator ( and a damn good one at that )

While viruses can only live by destroying others.

I doubt that forests would do very well if there where 6.5 billion Beavers, because theres not 6.5 billion of em its kinda hard to compare there impact to ours

Yeah, the Earth isn't 2 dimensional. And no, it's not common sense at all. A white person could be superior to a black person, or the same can be said about any races. Black people have denser muscles and can withstand the sun better. White people can withstand the cold better and... float better. There are differences, and so, a superiority can be found. It would just be an insignificant superiority.

Nothing has been proven. That being said, not many things like this really can be proven at all.



The sky is blue. This supports my claim that water is better than Gatorade. See what I mean now?



I'm haven't stated arguments. I've stated problems with yours.



The definition of an animal is not common knowledge. The true definition of an animal is very specific, and not common at all, as you just illustrated for us:



Kind of sounds just like humans.



We are different from other animals as is. Yes, maybe we evolved before another species, but we are still superior right now. We have demonstrated this superiority by overpowering every other animal in existence, and spread across the entire planet. Nobody can say what will happen millenniums from now. We could be at the bottom of the food chain by then. When people say we are the most superior race on the planet, they refer to RIGHT NOW.

Yes, a monkey can put up a stick to get termites. All that demonstrates is that they have the capacity to think. Every animal can think. It's part of the definition. You can't use the definition of an animal as a similarity in an argument as to why humans are not different from other animals.

That's like saying 1 and 2 are not different because they are both numbers.
