Thought instead of continuing to thread jack the topic on abortion I would move this discussion into it's own thread.
The question is, are Humans animals? Can we even be compared to animals?
If we are not animals then what are we?
An argument was put forth we are socially not animals. On this I have to ask what is it socially that makes us truly that different? We pursue things just for the sheer pleasure of it? we see this behavior in other animals so that can't be it.
Another argument was we are not animals because unlike animals we have souls. If this is the case then what is a soul? What proof is there that such a thing even exists?
I vote that tachyons will rule the universe one day. They're the only theoretical particle I know of that can escape the mighty black hole.
And they're perverts, too! Haven't you ever had a cockroach in your shower, just watching you, then you turn to grab the shampoo and it crawls onto you!?!?!?111/!/??1one1/1/!??!/1/!?
And those microorganisms I was trying to think of are called tardigrades. Evidently, they can survive the vacuum of space and survive for around a decade without any water whatsoever.

I don't have cockroaches in my shower...
What kind of dump do you live in!?
^
Or maybe those microorganisms that can survive intense radiation, extreme cold (i.e. being frozen in liquid nitrogen), insane heat, being crushed, etc. etc... I forget what it's called. Water bear r something.
*Goes to check Biology 11 notes*
There's a cool sounding fancy name I can't remember...anaerobic is life without needing oxygen...but that's not it =P
Most people do this without ever understanding the nature of consciousness.
You don't understand the nature of consiousness either =P
tardigrades.
And that totally ISN'T the fancy name I was trying to remember...mine started with a vowel...

A sub-atomic particle couldn't even rule an atom. They maybe considering domineering because they can survive, but that doesn't mean they'll rule anything.
Unless your joking, that is a seriously flawed theory.
Dude. What kind of dump do you live in!?
I know seriously. Cockroaches in showers doesn't get you anywhere by the way.
You'd think intelligent people would understand my sense of humour.

BUT WHAT IF THERE WERE NO ATOMS LEFT!?
(Go read from end of page 5 onwards. The joke will make more sense.)
But the geniuses of the world comparing our hunting practices to that of a wolves are idiots
You have a gun and camoflauge and are not some "wild man" rejoinging nature...
You're a freakin' dude with a gun xD
Read my replies to German from page 6 onwards, and get back to me when you're confident you can engage my premises.
I can wait up to a few years
It's not like they live there. > > It was a one-time thing.
Ahar, Manta, you seem not to realise where there is one cockroach, there are a million...
