Why sometimes Humans are worse than animal?

Though, it's great, Eriol, for you to acknowledge these things, don't rebuke others who are not aware of it. (children, for example) More importantly, don't let your actions constantly revolve around those thoughts. There is a very fine line between being focused and being narrow-minded.

In regards to the animal>human debate: We're the only species painly aware of our impending deaths. That's enough trouble by itself.

You are what is wrong with everything on the internet.

You have it right in the last sentence. Ethnicity doesn't matter other than being a classification. There would be cruelty and retardedness against folks even if we were all the exact same ethnicity, it would just be over who lives where (for example) or who believes what.

It's really simple, the atrocities people visit on other people are done so because, for whatever reason, the groups do not view each other as quite human. Lack of empathy, someone else said. Humans have a greater potential for horrific shit than other animals, because of our simple superiority. It might be something our species always struggles with, but that's not to say that there haven't been any improvement at all.

Patriotism is basically awful, though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
