man help: I want to know exactly how we’re classified? - Help.com

It has been experimented upon. Really though, if you truly think about morals, then you’ll see it is the absolute defect embedded in our system.

Does a cat mutilate a mouse before it kills it? No, she simply scares the mouse and when she is finished playing, she will make a sudden meal of it putting it out of its trouble. The cat is innocent, unconscious of cruel behavior unlike manfashion.

Animals do not attack other animals for no apparent reason. Nor do they kill for the humor or pleasure. You can place two contrasting animals inside a cage and teach them to become friends. They will never argue, harm, or kill one another.

An instinct to kill? This is no such instinct. Survival instinct is what I’ve mentioned. Look at where our morals have gotten us? wars, bickering, murders, torture, slavery. Animals experience none of the above. Why? because they rely on natural instinct.

yes, we may not be all perfect… stupid and silly things can even cause an all out war and genocides… but, the fact that some of us realize these defects, always looking for ways of how to make things better for ourselves and other beings living beside us, i suppose that’s what makes us superior, our own very much relentless effort for the betterment of ourselves.

We’re only superior in our own minds. Why do we think we’re superior? Because of our mental caliber most likely. That is the only admirable trait we’ve accumulated.

I was never saying anything of that nature.

I was only suggesting that maybe other animals aren’t as inferior as we think.

Its easily permissable seein as how I am merely condescending human beings. But it’s no secret that our behavior is absurd at times. We suffer so much from our own species that we naturally accept it.

I don’t intend to sound like a advocate other animals fanatically but sometimes we forget where some slight harmony exists.

I would say that wolves like to eat ravenously whenever they have the opportunity. They’re a carnivore so I would presume that eat any animal they kill.

Anyways, I have to run to class, it’s been a nice discussion. Hopefully we can continue it later:)

Emily, this was actually the summary of a Mark Twain selechttp://www.google.com/url?sa=U&start=1&q=http://skeptically.org/logical threads/id14.html&ei=rbcmSeuCPIyNmQe4wpnnBg&usg=AFQjCNFvKXqS4q8_3EKAzrAxwQS 6IiAeYQtion:

You may or may not have read it. I thought it was fantastic and so I decided to post the aurthor’s philosophy here. Mark Twain wrote this after his family died and the actual article was published decades after Twain passed away.
