KurashiDragon Posted October 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 A while ago I considered posting in this thread saying "We are the Gods of this world."- has anything like that been said yet? :P No and I honostly cannot agree with that. We were made on this world one way or another and we could've just as easily been at the bottom of the food chain. To say "We are the gods of this world" is a rash and underthought statement at its best. Of course that's just my opinion. Naturally' date=' I assumed a reply like this. However, consider this: one nuclear war between humans and this Earth could be destroyed. We're the ones in control here.[/quote'] Hmm... interesting. To say though that we have complete control of this world as a species is a good statement in the respect that we can destroy it. But to say its a godly power is still underthought. We don't have complete control otherwise we would destroy the world without killing ourselves in the process. For now this world still has a grip over us and we have to respect that. You're an interesting member that I've never seen before. :P I like that, someone challenging me is something I enjoy. It's true that calling us 'Godly' is an overstatement, or ignorant at least. However, what do we consider a 'God'? It varies between people. Myself, I consider a God someone that's in control of this world. While we may not be in control, and there's a chance that we're all pawns in someone else's world- the fact remains that we can (for the most part) do whatever the hell we please in this world as long as it doesn't defy Science and we have the right amount of power. If he wanted to, Barrack Obama would be able to change the USA's flag to a pig and they'd still be the most feared country in the world. That's a display of power, and I consider it god-like. My concept of God is someone who is in control of power without any reprocussions. Barrack Obama could probly change the USA's flag to a pig but then he'd have to consider what the American Citizen's think of this drastic change, everyone elses view of this change, and his own position of power. We may be in control of this world but that doesn't make us absolute. We can still destroy ourselves. This is fun. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraveHorizon Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 And what u think what is purpose of Earth anyway?? Its here so that we can exist... We are more like Earth's children then parasites.. :p Umm' date=' I think you have that backwards. We exist because the planet's here. I don't think humans were [i']meant[/i] to do anything, in the same way you aren't meant to stub your toe. It just happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazer Yoshi Posted October 28, 2009 Report Share Posted October 28, 2009 Yes, sometimes we do destroy nature, but it might be for a needed reason. Such as needing to build more homes. This population just keeps growing rapidly.But littering and messing up the enviroment to be stupid is just being ignorant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you know that the Human Population has doubled sense the 1900s? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jinzo Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 While thinking about this let me answer my own question. I remember a movie that went a little bit on the subject. In it they said humans are more a parisite to this planet than an animal. This is in the sense that Parisite destroy their home as they move from place to place where as animals in some way or another preserve their habitat. I kinda agree with this. I think humans are inhabitants and that you shall be visited by Zor lord of discrimination and when he comes he will eat your soul and crap out pumpkins. Happy Halloween Peoples!!!!!!!!!!!

CinnamonStar Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Humans are animals too, with advanced knowledge and the ability to reason (I think 0_o'').When I talk to people I always say "humans" and "animals" simply because it's the everyday language but we're still an "Earth" species with our advantages and flaws (no claws or physical ways to defend ourselves (that's why I don't consider humans a big nuisance who wants to destroy everything but rather a species with disadvantages too)). Well Mudluck pretty much said what I had in my mind too. I wouldn't call the entire mankind a bunch of parasites. Of course some people are living way past their possibilities and overusing natural ressources but we're also a natural species that has its needs.I'm kind of sick of all these people who always put everything into the same pot and go all "stupid mankind needs to be wiped off, they never achieved ANYTHING, all they do is destroy our belooooooved planet that nourishes us and keeps us alive". Holocaust much? I hear this a lot but honestly, in my opinion it's a 2-way thing. I'd say of course humanity doesn't work without nature. On the other side nature is not much without mankind either but meh, who cares about that.:/ And Vampiress, everything in this world is mortal and there are some stupid, ruthless, idiotic humans but also many who aren't like that.

GraveHorizon Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Humans have evolved beyond nature. Our medical advances remove the population limiters of disease, so we overtake what nature can support us with. I don't think we're bad for the environment because we're human, I think it's because we have all this intelligence and we waste it on stupid stuff that only serves our needs while disregarding the effects on our planet. Like when we first made sewer systems, they emptied right into the rivers, and later the ocean. Talk about sh*tting where you eat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ezio Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 Basically we are vastly overpopulated. There are pretty much 7 billion people now, far too many. The Earth's natural resources no longer sustain us, what about other animals? We're sucking the life out of earth, like a parasite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CinnamonStar Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 And at the same time the number of sterile people is rising. Hmm birth control politics? It does depend on the places though. In many European countries the average birth statistics are at 1-something. I read 2.1 but I guess that was just about one country. I think the problem lies more in the fact that people are getting too old. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezio Posted October 29, 2009 Report Share Posted October 29, 2009 It's inhumane to have a limit to childbirth. It's inhumane to kill off a large number of people. Maybe it's time to be inhumane... I joke, I joke... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KurashiDragon Posted October 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 I think subconsiously alot of people are thinking the same thing your joking about right now. That the population needs to be controled in some way or another. In japan its illegal for people to have more than 2 children because of the overpopulation. I wonder what they thought when this happened? All I know is something needs to happen and fast before this world crumbles under the weight of the things living on it.

El Beasto Perezoso Posted October 30, 2009 Report Share Posted October 30, 2009 Hopefully the world never reaches that point. Besides, Mother Nature always seems to have a way of killing off the majority or the entirety of a species when it grow too large for the planet to support. i.e. the Ice Age, the dinosaurs, the meteor, etc. Maybe that's where the swine flu that's so vastly blown out off proportion is leading too? Annihilation of the human race? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, "Mother Nature" usually works with diseases and natural disasters, but with our scientific advances those don't have much effect. Swine flu? Yes, it's bad, but I doubt it will have much effect on the entire human population in the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
