Really, you should stop doing that.

@Andres-Vander:  And yes I was, and not just bugs, any living thing man deems inferior to himself (aka everything).

Well, we are obviously dominant, even if not "better." Are you religious?

How so?  We are outnumbered a million to one by certain insect species (if we were the most numerous my argument would still be the same), we are not the largest beings (again, if we were it wouldn't change matters), intelligence means squat in terms of significance, and there is nothing we can deem as significance compared to other creatures.

All life is equal.

We are dominate in that we have whole cities, technology, we even have other animals locked up in cages. Not dominate?

Religion is not connected to my argument.

Well I'm wondering, so I'd be grateful if you'll answer.

Could we possibly close this now? It's becoming an argument about equality. The way the world works is that the strongest survive, and the strongest in this case means the most intelligent (humans). It may not be fair, but that's life. And people are going to see it that way no matter what you tell them.

I'm going to have to agree at this point. I feel that it is important that people be able to discuss all manner of topics. This discussion, however, seems to have turned into an argument that has veered from the original thread.

While I encourage the discourse and debate of ideas I think this thread is past its time.

Closing . . .
