I certainly hope not. By the time I'm done with this body I hope to put it in the ground, w/o a toxic mix of chemicals. Just in the plain dirt, and let the worms feast, or as per my avatar above ground and let the vultures and ravens enjoy my flesh.
[QUOTE=whitebear;1075684]Superior is relative. Put a man and a tiger in an empty cage and find out who is superior then. It's true that humans are superior at many things but we are near the bottom when it comes to pure physical ability.[/QUOTE]
Yes, but give both the man and the tiger a gun (which man invented, not the tiger), and I'm guessing the man has a better chance. I think the fact that we dominate even though we're not superior in one facet, i.e., brute strength, kind of proves that we are superior over all. But it comes with responsibility. In that, we are lacking. I don't think the tiger thinks about responsibility at all. :)

That's pretty hardcore. I at least would like a plain wooden box so the people burying me don't have to drive up a mountain with a dead body flopping around in the back of the car.
[QUOTE=Stephanie;1075713]Huh? Did you come up with this philosophy? Never heard of it before. Lol.[/QUOTE]
A lot of people haven't. It's part of the Stoic Philosophy. A philosophy of life started by the Greeks and refined by the Romans. It's not for everyone, but I thought that tidbit might be useful to you.

Nope not at all.
[QUOTE]And I'm not narrow minded, I'm a loving person with a big heart. Just because we disagree does not make me narrow minded.
Peace and love [/QUOTE]
I think once you expanded on your beliefs you painted yourself with a more reasonable and defendable voice. But your initial statement sounded like someone purposefully trying to sound like a jerk.... in fact with such a callous viewpoint, that it almost sounded ridiculous. Kind of the way PETA would LOVE to see proponents of meat eating act and speak. :)
This is a weird thread.

Not narrow-minded in the slightest, this one. ;)
