humans suck....

[cookiepuss]

yeah we really kinda do. think about it. name one thing our species has done for the world that isn't pretty much done for the betterment of the human race. Sanitation? done for us. Saving the enviroment...wouldn't need saving if it weren't for us. Curing diseases?...well we do that because we get sick too. But would we bother saving ants if there were a terrible ant virus that was erradicating the species but didn't effect us? kinda doubt it. Some of might say what about the arts? yeah, ask your dog which movie should win an oscar this year. he doesn't care.

Not only are we selfish but we are godamn fagile, suseptible to diseases...and paper cuts. Paper! it's filmsy plup from a tree yet the shit can tear our fleash and make us bleed. We suck.

What do you think Earth would be like right now if the human race had never evolved? Which animal species would be evolving and dominating, or would nature be harmonious? Would global warming still exhist? In other words, do you think the that there would be some form of pollution or danger that is simply part of the process of planets life span? Or do humans have more to do with the life of our planet than we really realize?

I just wonder...........

[TAL]

I like a bit of teeth.

[Guy Incognito]

Gotta agree with that - we are rubbish but i cant add to what you said but Bill Hicks can: "People suck, and that's my contention. I can prove it on a scratch of paper with a pen. Give me a fuckin' Etch-a-sketch, I'll do it in three minutes. The proof, the fact, the factorum. I'll show my work, case closed. I'm tired of this back-slapping 'aren't humanity neat?' bullshit. We're a virus with shoes, OK? That's all we are."

[bigblu89]

Eventually some other species would've evolved to the level that we're at and would've "ruined" the earth just as much as we have.

my favorite porn star right now is Selena Silver

[cookiepuss]

hahaha. PJ. I forgot about porn. now there's one thing that really does make the world better! ;)

[beastieangel01]

I agree, even though I though the thread said "hummus sucks" for some reason.

[Bob]

don't worry i'll take care of it

[roosta]

humans rule.

[CrankItUp!]

What about alien sex pornography eventually someday ? Yeah..like I'm so fucking bored that I want to wank off to watching aliens with afros getting their groove on..and maybe I'd fucking wish I didn't afterwards. :eek:

[Chicka B]

Yeah that's true, but hey. We're just human, what do you expect!

[CrankItUp!]

i could get funky with your monkey till the gf gets home maybe

[cookiepuss]

if humans didn't exhist....I think Elephants might dominate. sheerly due to thier size. Apes/monkeys would be an obvious answer because they are quite like us, but elephants can crush an ape. So maybe the Elephants would force the apes into slavery and make them bulid things for them. yeah.

[cosmo105]

nope. killer whales. they'd eventually evolve the ability to walk on land and wear suits and hats and carry briefcases.

[jackrock]

Yeah, we do suck pretty bad.

[cookiepuss]

nope. killer whales. they'd eventually evolve the ability to walk on land and wear suits and hats and carry briefcases.

well they also have the size factor thing going for them. and very sharp teeth. (y)

[Ace42X]

name one thing our species has done for the world that isn't pretty much done for the betterment of the human race.

Name one thing any other species has done for the world that isn't done for their own personal advancement.

Some of might say what about the arts? yeah, ask your dog which movie should win an oscar this year. he doesn't care.

He doesn't care about anything apart from getting food, staying warm, and having a shit and the occasional tummy-rub... He is hardly a qualified critic of human development.

Not only are we selfish

Compared to what? Cats, those well known selfless altruists?

but we are godamn fagile, suseptible to diseases...and paper cuts. Paper! it's filmsy plup from a tree yet the shit can tear our fleash and make us bleed.

Yeah, and we can snap saplings with out bare-hands. AND we can do it as much as we want, without fear of trees coming and getting us.

What do you think Earth would be like right now if the human race had never evolved?

Quieter, bushier, more trees, clearer air. Very boring.

Which animal species would be evolving and dominating, or would nature be harmonious?

Animals are evolving all the time. It's an on-going process. Dogs and Cats were domesticated (evolved via selective breeding) through man, and wouldn't exist at all, so they wouldn't be dominating. Generally, without man, it is unlikely any species would be "dominating" and more than any species "dominated" when the dinosaurs were around. Some will be common and at the bottom of the food chain, some will be less common and at the top. Same as it is now.

Would global warming still exhist?

Yes, but not as much and not in the same way.

In other words, do you think the that there would be some form of pollution or danger that is simply part of the process of planets life span?

No, because there hasn't been, otherwise we'd know about it. However, there are a number of environmental catastrophes that could have happened and could still happen that would cause total devastation. Meteor strikes being an obvious hazard. Humanity doesn't enter into that, yet, however, as we have never had the need to intervene in it.

Or do humans have more to do with the life of our planet than we really realize?

We've made the world what it is, for better or worse. I don't know if that is "more than we realise" - but massive deforestation is quite a significant change.

We're a virus with shoes, OK?

While I am a fan of Bill, that is a bit of a non-sequiter. Plenty of animals have the same behavioural traits that are commonly associated with viruses.

The matrix "humanity's a virus" speech from agent whassisface always bugged me for that reason. It was a load of codshit. Every single thing he says could equally apply to pretty much any animal in the world, it was totally meaningless.

So, who is going to be crowned Miss Anthropy 2006?

[roosta]

humans will probably be replaced by monkeys, the monkeys will be replaced by spiders and the spiders will be defeated by the pod people.

[Ace42X]

humans will probably be replaced by monkeys

While the mutated remains of mankind live in the subways and worship the last doomsday bomb?

[roosta]

nah, thats the hollywood shit. these monkeys will be ruthless and destroy most of us.some of us will escape to the moon, where we attempt to build a diabolical machine to destroy the monkeys, but finding only a flag and some golf balls our plan is severely lacking.

we end up using the flag as a sling shot and fire the golf balls back at the earth. but they miss the earth and float off into eternity.

we then die on the moon, alone and defeated.

[cookiepuss]

I use to have this math tutor that had this theory about electronics and computers.....it was basically that we have created these machines that can "think" and that by doning that we've created an energy much in the same way that the brain produces energy through brain waves and that it could be possible that that energy could beging to think for it self and turn against us. I'm probably not explaining it correctly but that was the basic idea. that was probably about 15 years ago before Artifical Intelligence was really as tangiable as it is today.

So if we go with some of hollywood's (and my former tutor's) ideas it will be robots that take us over rather than the evolution of another animal species.

[rirv]

I don't mean to be a spoil sport, but I'd like to think that my Earthsong thread had most of these bases covered. Could you please check other people's threads first, there's no need to clog up the board with unnecessary topics. Thanks. (y)

[cookiepuss]

oooh oh sorry. I didn't realize there was a patent pending on your earthsong thread. Please don't sue! :o

[Ace42X]

it was basically that we have created these machines that can "think"

It's called The Singularity.

Ha ha. what an ass my math tutor was...he made it sound like he came up with the idea all on his own. :rolleyes: pretty sure he dabbled in acid, because he also told some story about a "possessed" pinball machine and actually seing energy tranfer to another pinball machine to illustrate his point.

Oh fuck... why didn't someone tell me the monkies were evolving? They're going to take over? When? I need to cut my toenails. :(

Yeah, I read that a few years back and bought a dolphin mask so that they would think I was a dolphin. I went round telling everyone to watch out for the fucking dolphins. They laughed, they were right.

[DapperDiverge]

you know what I wonder... what if the early explorers never left their continents... what if everybody never left their motherland??? would racism still exist?? I guess, there has always been prejudicism with people... ya know like different tribes in the same territory fighting for whatever...

oh... and the apes are definately planning their attack!! Have you ever stared into an orangutan's eyes... they look retarded, but are smart... too smart...

and those dolphins look cute...but so does the evil puppy!!

[Ace42X]

you know what I wonder... what if the early explorers never left their continents... what if everybody never left their motherland??? would racism still exist?

Probably not, as most theories (last I checked, but this was a while ago) have it that all mankind evolved in a single region, and then diversified after they spread out. So if the early explorers never left home, we'd all have evolved in the same place in the same way and all be the same. So, people wouldn't be prejudiced against each other on the basis of race.

Hey hey we're the Monkees.

We were food for Dinosaurs for a while.

Chris Rock made Pootie Tang.

[Freebasser]

Didn't whales have legs before evolving to live in the ocean?

Just sayin'

[adam_f]

When did you learn something remotely useful?

[Freebasser]

After I had sex with your mom.

[CrankItUp!]

Chris Rock made Pootie Tang.
Wanda Sykes ( Biggie Shorty ) made Pootie Tang ! (y)

[adam_f]

Most disgusting is that Bob Costas found time to make a cameo in Pootie Tang.
