How can humanity be so conceited as to believe they are the only species with consciousness? Also, how was Elvis able to have such great hair?

    It is the hard question, the big why. Scientist have pondered about it for years but I do not believe we will ever know the answer. The big mystery of life and dead, the ultimate reason off all. How did he have such great hair, we will probably never know. Edit:We could ofcourse ask him, I heard he lives in Texas nowadays...........wait a minute!

    I know! It is was always so silky smooth & shiny! I wonder if he had let his beard grow, if it would have been as luxurious!

    How do you know that? Like I asked OP, do you speak dolphin? Whale? Fish? Porcine? Amphibian? Insect? Canine? Feline? Did you ever stop to consider, that maybe they found that answer millennia ago & as such, that is why they are at peace?

    Yet animals can kill us faster & do not need a weapon, because they are a weapon. You base your belief on an old book from a time when people owned people. When men dominated women & killed their own children freely and also sold unwanted children off. How do you know that God did not mean for us to live here & learn from them as we also took care of them?

He gave us a whole book on how to live

    You have been told he gave you an entire book, you did not pop out of the chute with this book. Even then, even devote followers of said book do not follow it & they argue about its contents & meaning. Do animals do that or are they just happy? Do not some animals show us how to love? Do not some animals show us how we should raise & love our young? Do not some animals show us how we should work together? Maybe, just maybe, you were born into His Book & the lessons you need are all around you and all those animals are laughing at us humans for being too ignorant to see what He is actually teaching.

    And I can't say for sure I am right, but that is the fun. We get to chose who we are & live the lives we have chosen.

    If everything was fun all the time, how would you know what fun is? Eat the same meal for a year or 10 years. It is filling, but what you thought was the best meal ever, it will pale in comparison to something else.

  • We are the only species that we are aware of with consciousness capable of thought such as this. That is an undeniable fact.

    No, it is an unfounded assumption. Do you speak dolphin? Whale? Canine? Feline? So no, that means it is not a fact, but an assumption based upon the inability to communicate.

  • Yes i’m certain canines, whom partake in the reuptake of their own fecal matter, are capable of discussing the complexities of their existence with each other.

    Yet some humans consume their own waste & the waste of others, even though it has proven to cause sickness in humans, though not in dogs. So really, who seems to have the more complex thoughts here......

    So, a creature that willing chooses to do something that is knowingly self destructive is higher up than a creature that does something similar, but without the negative side effects? Wanna try that one again.

  • Yes let’s focus on the example I used and disregard my original point. You’re not going to “win” here. If humans wanted to they could eradicate dogs from existence. The same cannot be said vice versa. The same goes for any other animal we inhabit this planet with. We are capable of this, they are not. Our consciousness is what enables that.

    You think I care about a win? I am just enjoying playing in what is really a self absorbed post so you can try to feel good about yourself & see who all drinks the same Kool Aid as you. As for me using your own example, yes I did use it. There was no need to use anything else and you can't deny it, so you are now trying to turn it another way. Even if we dropped every nuke in the world on this planet, there are things that will survive us. Just because we are stupid enough & unenlightened enough to create weapons that will destroy our own world, that does not make us superior, it just makes us foolish. Even if you break it down to just using a gun or any other means & not trying to harm the environment in which we live, try to kill all the dogs in just America alone. You will be met with armed resistance. Why? Canines have made Man their friend. They were smart enough to make the apex predator their buddies.

  • I don’t need people on the internet to make me feel good about myself, nor do I think they are even capable of that. I wish to pick the minds of those who see things differently, not identify those who think the same. I’m not turning anything on anyone. You’re the one stuck talking about dogs and humans.

    So, since you can't refute what I am saying & you need the last word, you are going to completely run away from the very question you asked to, as you said, [i][u]"pick the minds of those who see things differently, not identify those who think the same."[/u][/i], yet when presented with that and a question you could not get around, you immediately made this about me seeking a win and tried to take this conversation as far from the topic as possible. You are the one who wanted to use dogs eating their own shit, I just stayed within that framework, which is what one is supposed to do, not cry about wins & losses and try to turn the conversation to something else out of petulance. Next time, go with opposable thumbs. You will get more traction & better results.

  • I’m just responding to you buddy. I don’t write my responses with the intent to refute you or get the last word. The original purpose of your comment was that other species besides human’s have consciousness yes? I “refuted” that with my original response, poking fun at what dogs do without human’s to provide order for them. I’m not here to argue with you about how to argue you either. I don’t even see why you’re so keen on continuing this dialogue. I’m just here to talk about why we’re here.

    Still deflecting. You didn't refute anything. You presented a behavior & I countered with the fact that the same behavior is also done by the "more enlightened" group, who should know better & do it anyway. Then you went sideways & took it away while trying to insult me subtly. You could have said any number of things to change the way it was headed, a lot of them more polite & would not have required you to even make a concession about "losing", since it means so much to you that needed to bring it up. "Hey, I really don't want to take this any further down this road, it is kinda gross." "Yeah, this is going someplace I do not want it to go, so can we change the direction or end the conversation?" 2 perfectly viable options that are not insulting, rude or conceding victory to another. So, do you want to call it day & end the conversation or do you need to try to get the last word while trying to be insulting, because you will get from me exactly what you give. (In case you do not understand, you wish me a good day & I will return it, then we are done and on a good note, instead of the irritation that you are going to claim you do not feel)
