Well looks like I have to play volleyball in PE. It isn't very fun to me. The courts are to small and the net it to high. At least I'm on a team with 2 girls that are very good.

Ooh and tomorrow I am going to Seatle! It's a 2 and a half hour drive from where I live. I can't wait! It will be my first time there. I am going with my uncle, and we're staying at his girlfriend's house. She has a 10 year old son so I might take my Beys with me.

Meh. I'll be spending Sunday watching Chicago's beloved Bears attempt to move on in the Playoffs. And argue about how good Seattle really is. Should be fun. My school was hosting a raffle for tickets, but it was one number off of my ticket. Darn, I wanted to see that game in person.
In my PE class, we've got Football. (The American variety) Lucky me, nobody wants to be Quarterback, and we actually play other classes.

Seatle should have never even made it to the freaking play offs! I think the Patriots are probably going to breeze on through to the Superbowl.

Meh. Hopefully, Chicago gets a title. But let's move this to the NFL thread, before someone gets warned.

This poll makes me cringe. http://rueme.deviantart.com/journal/poll/1732873/
794 said animals are more important than people
758 said they're equal
449 said it depends
74 said I don't know
ONLY 180 PEOPLE SAID HUMANS ARE WORTH MORE THAN ANIMALS!
Why don't we just go back to slavery? I mean people are just like animals. In fact, why don't we just submit to the animal kingdom since over 1400 people said we are less than or equal to animals?

Well, people are no better than animals, as we do bomb eachother on a regular basis. I have never seen a dog threaten someone with a nuke. Humans do. I have never seen a dog steal someone's car. Humans do. Dogs don't lie to the people in the form of a military government. Some human countries do. I can see what they are saying.

Dogs threaten each other and people with fangs. Last time I checked that was far less humane then a nuclear bomb. If I had to chose a way to die, I'd pick the nuclear bomb everytime. I'm sick of people acting like animals are all carping cute and cuddly. They rape, kill and steal from each other to procreate and survive, just like humans. The difference is that most humans feel remorse and guilt, animals don't. An untrained dog would kill you if you got to close, and he wouldn't have any trouble sleeping at night afterwards, and don't act like they won't steal something from you if they have the chance. I've had 4 dogs, and every single one stole from me. The difference it we actually try to protect animals. By the way, every form of deceit, camouflage, stealth, and weapon came from an example in the animal kingdom. They've been doing what we do longer than us, and they're far more vicious when they do it.

Just because an Animal kills another Animal, doesn't mean it's a murderer.

I intentionally never used that word. That is another term for homocide, a human killing a human.

Anyways, it looks like my wallet is dying these days, from a lot of purchases from beys to personal. I'm earning a couple of bucks here and there doing chores etc, but it's pretty hard to earn money if you don't have an actual job. Anybody else faced with these problems?

Sorry for double posting but I am 12 and not eligible for a Job but a good way that I get money is walking dog's. I dunno if you want to start but I charge 5$ Per dog for a half hour. I earn about 50$ a week plus I pick up bits of extra money.
Just an idea.

At the animal discussion,how do you know they don't feel any of those?animals have feelings just as we do :Vand no a nuclear bomb is way more inhumane,because with fangs they can live and a nuclear bomb destroys everything in it's path and sends radiation everywhere effecting millions and yes they fit for survival because they cantmgo to the mall and buy a new bed or buy some meat,everything an animal does is for it's survival,if I threw you out into the woods with nobody else around for miles upon miles you'd act just like an animal.
But yes some animals are more vicious but they need to be vicouse so no other animal messes with them. Also animals can act nice.
Also it's not like we dont hunt them down with high powered rifles :V
And I also find it funny that if you shoot a human is cold blooded murder,but whenmyoumshoot an animal it's sport and fun :V yeah let me hunt you down with a high powered rifle and you'll see how animals feel. O wait we are animals so theirs no dif..
And not Ll animals rape each other :V

If an animal isn't trained it won't feel remorse. I doesn't see ANY of it's actions as wrong. If they did, they wouldn't kill people. Have you ever met a survivor of a bear attack? Fangs will never be more humane than an instant death. In fact animals seem to specialize in killing humans slowly, while we do the opposite to them. High powered rifles are humane. A quick death is always humane. Ten minutes of having your flesh ripped apart is not. If you want to hunt humans with a high powered rifle join the military, they've made it into a job. An animal that is shot with a high powered rifle isn't in pain as long as a hiker who is attacked by an animal. Don't say they are better than us when we are both doing the same things with different methods. By the way, I wouldn't act like an animal in the woods, because I have an ethical viewpoint that prevents that. They way you act is based on your adopted morals, not your current environment.

You know that 100%? What you cantnread animals minds? And their fangs are what they have to fight you with,they think that your trying to hurt them or you wondered into their territory,most humans that get killed by "animals" are the ones that were stupid and their are many ways to survive a bear attack and I said high powered rifles because an animal has barley any chanc of survival,then we laugh and say "look at that shot hahaha" and we feel no REMORSE over killing that animal just fun and games.
I didn't say were better did I? i say were exactly the same as "animals"
And you say it like animals will kill you any chance they get,they only attack you if they feel their In danger and trustnwe after a week out In the woods with no other humans aroundmyou,you'd forget about your morals and do what it takes to survive :V
Jan. 15, 2011  12:04 PM
 
I'm not weak enough to forget my morals after a week, maybe you are. Fine let's assume you are right and No single, essential difference separates human beings from other animals.' So began a feature article on evolution in TIME magazine ('How Man Began', March 14, 1994). The more I thought about this sweeping statement the more I began to warm to it.
For example, like humans, apes have well formed rational faculties. Their ability to develop an argument, follow a line of logic, draw conclusions and frame hypotheses is quite remarkable.
Also like humans, apes have a marked faculty for language. (This, of course, is intertwined with their powers of reason.) Their vocabulary is enormous, their grammar complex, and their conversations deep and meaningful.
The apes' ability to codify language in writing is further proof of their close relationship to humans. In this respect, it was most gratifying to see the number of apes who wrote to TIME magazine in response to the article on 'How Man Began'. I was particularly interested to follow the line of reasoning of the orang-utan who argued that apes had evolved from humans, not vice versa.
Like humans, apes also have a strong spirit of inquiry. Their research in the fields of astronomy, mathematics, medicine and physics is noteworthy.
Apes also (again, like humans) yearn for meaning in life. This is why they devote so much of their time to philosophy, theology and ethics. The religious sentiments and practices of all apes can be traced back to their intense and endless quest for meaning.
Apes are concerned about questions not only of origin but also of destiny. The best proof I can offer for this claim is the maxim by one famous ape philosopher who said, 'Whether my life leads ultimately to the dirt or to the Judgment, either way, I've got a problem.'
Apes also have, like humans, a refined aesthetic sense. They admire beauty and long to surround themselves with it. When an ape cultivates a garden, puts flowers in a vase, or hangs up a painting, what is it doing if not expressing a love of beauty?
Again like humans, apes have a strong creative impulse. This is seen in their poetry, painting, dance, drama and music. To a lesser extent their creativity is also evident in the way they gather in weekly craft groups to weave baskets, spin wool, knit shawls, and cover photo albums.
The sense of humour shared by all apes is another proof of their close kinship to humans. Their delight in the ridiculous and their love of a good laugh is plain from the popular ape jokes they tell.
Reason, language, inquiry, wonder, longing, religion, morality, aesthetics, creativity, imagination, aspiration and humour ... such intangible but fundamental qualities are by no means unique to humans, as I hope I have conclusively shown. Therefore, in the profound words of TIME magazine: 'No single, essential difference separates human beings from other animals'.
This being the case, Christians are plainly wrong to insist that humans and animals are vastly different. And they are also obviously wrong to insist that this difference arises from the fact that God created us humans in His own likeness. And if they are wrong to insist that God made us in His own likeness, then they are wrong to insist that God has any claim on us.
Furthermore, if God has no claim on us, then we are free — free to be animals like our evolutionary ancestors — free to be as low-down as snakes, and to make pigs of ourselves, and to act like donkeys.
Hiss! Oink! Hee-haw!

Your morals are forgotten when the need to survive kicks in :V
And hm I probably agree with that,I don't believe in god but that all sounds about right.
And nothing that has to do with this discussion o.o theirs a Justin bieber movie coming out,those poor people who work at the movie Theaters.
Also something else that has nothing to do with the discussion,about the 2012 thing,I'd rather have an Aliens attack thennjust have to world,practically reset it's self and the chance of survival is very very low.

That is a false statement. If you have relative morals that is true, otherwise it is a stupid assumption to make about people in general. People have been stranded on islands for years without throwing out their morals. My morals woudn't prevent me from surviving, so I wouldn't throw them out the window. Like I said I'm not going to drop my morals just because I'm in the woods. Hell, look at the stereotype of mountain men, they are thought of as Christian hillbillies. Your baseless assumptions are causing you to come to faulty conclusions.

And most of the people that are stranded on island for years talk to pineapples :V
And really? So let's say your im a forest,a month has passed,you have had barley any water and food,no sign of any other human and you have been attacked by bears or something and lived. Would YOU still keep your morals or throw them out the window?anyways this conversation should probably end before we get warned

My morals would be the only thing to get me though that situation. I'm done repeating myself, and if you really believe there is no difference between humans and animals you should read this article.

Read that article,and the walking on two legs things,all animales are different,and what makes you think animals can't be as evolved as we are? They just don't feel the need to do all the stuff humans have,they only feel the need to do what it takes to survive. Also I laughed the animals can't talk to each other thing,when that's false,animals can talk to one another,and you could probably teach a new born ape English it would just be harder then teaching a new born human english.
And find a list on how we are the same :V anyways this conversation needs to stop and is stoping now.

People have tried. The ape will only make noises like a baby, but no actual words. (Unless you count the stuff an 8 month old human says as words)

Oh god. Why a Justin Bieber movie?!

Btw, I hope you know 2012 isn't gonna happen... It's like how people said all of the worlds computers would crash, and the world would end in 2000. It's like how people said we would be taken over by Aliens in 2010. It's like how People said WWIII would happen in the '60-'70's and it would end the world. People always say carp like this and it never happens. It's just a load of Dark Bull carp. If anything, That Justin Bieber Movie would end the world before anything else.

Since I don't believe stupid things like that, On 2012, I'm going to school with a sign that says "See you tomorrow."
