Humans are the most dangerous animals in the world....

I would have to agree. Physically, humans are weak, but our greed and lust to control everything makes us very dangerous indeed. What makes us dangerous isn't our physical capabilities, nor is it knowledge - it is how we use that knowledge. Rather than trying to preserve the balance in nature, we constantly try getting ourselves one more step above everything else, and in the process, we wreck ecosystems and release insanely big amounts of toxic fumes in the atmosphere which speeds up a natural process that is dangerous enough to many species without us quickening the phenomenon.

Naturally, in the end, all we're doing is bringing our own destruction closer as life on Earth has survived several other major climate changes, but we are a big danger to hundreds of species on Earth nonetheless.

 

well....definitely. defintely most POTENTIALLY dangerous animals anyways, we're the only animals who can mass pollute the earth and can potentially destroy it too.

 

Well, the reason people agree here, PAW is because no one is saying humans suck and we hate humans, which often seems to be your message. Humans can be bad and definitely can be classed as the most dangerous of animal species, but at the same time they are one of the most potent species to aiding other species and doing good deeds. It really depends what sort of person or group you are dealing with. The pessimism you have about humans, despite you being one, really is a let down and surely you shouldn't feel all people are so bad. Give us a break sometime. =:/ It's always easy to look at the bad stuff some people do but it would really help your case if you ever listed the good things some others do. We are not all mirror images or else you would not be here now because the way you see people is only as destructive. We'd all be dead.

 

Just an add-on--although some might be repetition--to what Repliku was saying, yes, we have the resources and the intelligence and inegenuity to do the most horrible things to our planets and everything on it, but it can go both ways. That same ingenuity, intelligence and resources can be used for good just as much as they can be used for bad.

That's why despite your many threads that take on a connotative expression of the human species, it's not unsurprising that people want to post rebuttals, because there's always the potential and the possibility to be better, and be better. What can destroy us as humans can also be the source that saves us--it's our reasoning of the matter that decides which of the two prevails as the outcome.

Like Repliku said, people here can accept that we can be the most dangerous animals on the planet, but we accept that as a possibility, not an inevitability, which unfortunately in many of your threads seems to be the underlying message. And because that's the implication constantly coming up, many of us feel it's our right and responsibility to remind you that the aforementioned is not always so, and that it is rather a choice that is in our hands.

 

My mom is scared of snakes and i told her
"the only animal you should be scared of is Humans ."
so yes i agree

 

Humans are dangerous, we could destroy the world if we wanted to, we have the weapons to do it too.

 

While there are many animals that are physically stronger than humans, we are so much more intelligent that it doesn't matter. Out of intelligence alone, we have achieved dominance over the Earth. A four-way battle royale between us and a couple huge animals would never happen, becuse four huge animals willing to kill a human, unprovoked, would almost never be in the same place.

 

Humans are their most deadly adversary, we're the smartest and yet the most idiotic...we're destroying our own planet, and even the worms and birds realize it before we do. And when it starts falling apart on us, it will be too late to become hippies. Y'know?

 

Humans can actually think, and not everyone has the same opinion on things. That's what can make us dangerous.

 

Not only are we the most dangerous, we're also the most interesting.
.We are the only animals who kill other species for fun.
.We are the only animals who kill ourselves.
. We kill each other because of our differnet opinions. Other animals kill each other for sex, or food.
That's what comes to mind right now.

 

1. Domestic cats kill for fun. They often play with a kill until its dead, Then walk away without eating it.
2. Lemmings, jump off cliffs.
3. Chimpazee's and even wage war, when there is plenty of food and teritor and sex to go around. No one knows why certain tribes wage war. Its probably of polical beliefs for all we know.

Yeah, humans are the most poweful creatures in the world. That alone makes us the most dangerous.

I mean, we are the only animals capable of whiping out the entire planet. (Nukes)

 

Everything is actually true except #2. ;)

 

Yeah, I know... but its a very common misconception. I didnt think anyone would pick it up. Sorry, I fibbed.

 

:D:D:D
Some more...
.How many animals are "afraid" of sex?
.Do any animals worship something?
.I've never seen an animal "laugh", or find something funny. If you know what I mean.

 

1.How many people are affraid of sex?
2. I dont think thier brain is developed enough to that thinking about a spiritual world. We dont know. Maybe they do though... I dont read animal brains.
3. I've seen chimps play jokes on each other.

One I seen a baby chimp, poke an adult male with a stick. The adult was trying to sleep. The adult slapped the stick away. He then did it again, the male slapped it away. Then it looked like the baby was laughing. The baby did it again, and the adult went all berzerko and spazzed out screaming. The baby ran too its mom.

The whole time the baby looked like it was laughing.

I seen another one, where a young gorrila slapped a silverback in the back. The adult ignored him. But then the young one slapped him in the face. The gorrila jumped up and beat his chest throwing a fit. Once he realized it was a baby... he appeared to just let him slide. He calmed himself down, and layed back down.

 

The fact that we have a free will shows that we are dangerous. I hope all of you realize that our species is derailed.

 

Stop proving me wrong! XDD
As for #1, alot of PC-loving people find sex to be immoral.

 

Immoral? Does that equal fear?

Even if someone thinks sex is immoral... that doesnt mean they dont do it. Even the most moral person will have sex with someone they are married to.

Thus, they arnt affraid of it.

Ok, maybe Monks, Nuns, and preist and stuff... but thats not because of fear... its becuase they dedicate themselves to God rather than give into thier own desires.

 

Morality doesn't really equate to fear as ICSP said. You are yourself going against your own nature by substituting another obsession for sex, which can be God or whatever. It really has nothing to do with fear at all. It's more like you are told it's disgusting and so..you don't do it because God doesn't want you to. Those who get married though generally have the rights to it but there have even been guides for how men and women could have sex and be married so they would not be immoral in the bedroom. These are choices people make and I can't see it as fear at all, unless you are saying they fear God so they can't have sex.

However, there are people that fear or dislike sex. More than people think, but probably less than what matters. I've heard people say, both male and female, that sex is not that great and women in particular that say it's more than uncomfortable. Also, victims of rape or molestation may have fears over sex.

I do think there are animals that probably do not reproduce or like sex that much, much as some humans won't when not involving forces of religion. They can have any number of problems sexually as we can. Also, many animals can be gay and bi too. Considering that quite a few animals get 'raped' in the wild, something tells me that females aren't always that crazy about it either. But it's the rules of how it works.

However, animals aren't really worshiping anything so you win that.

But the other point, animals do find things amusing and it is a form of development for animals to 'play'. Some animals do tease others of their ilk and can even be annoyances to the adults. So 2 out of 3 aren't bad.

 

Humans are the most dangerous creatures on Earth, but come to think of it, we can also be the dumbest. People go on rages and kill other people in a crazy rage before killing themselves, causing grief to many families of those who died. Us humans also go off and kill animals for no reason at all, just for hunting purposes, even though the animal might be goin extinct.

great, ive gone and rambled on -.-
