I may not like humanity, nor really value my on life. But that doesn't give me the right to end everyone's lives since I'm sure there are a lot of people that would prefer to continue living.

What an emo question. Humanity will die off before it wipes out all other life, and it would be a waste to throw away the most complex species on the planet just to have evolution start from scratch. Whatever survives us will be more fit for it, and wiping out humans fucks up the game.
Humans may have horrible traits, but there are other species that would be even crueler overlords, like hyenas or army ants. Hell, chimpanzees are more violent than we are. Even dolphins, which most people think of as benevolent sea-dogs, rape each other all the time and murder porpoises. It's too bad orangutans aren't in charge.

Depends on the situation. If we humans do something so heinously, horribly, dastardly wrong that absolutely proves to me that humanity has no right whatsoever to exist any longer then sure. All it would take is a few Russian nukes launched at strategic points and the world would go into a nuclear winter. About half the world's population would be wiped out by the initial blasts and the rest would be picked off by the massive amounts of radiation caused from nuclear fallout, starvation or hypothermia.
And if there were survivors they would all be pretty much skull-fucked because of the clusterfuck of mutated freaks of nature that are BOUND to be skulking around the now barren wasteland formerly known as Earth.
I'm a sadistic asshole aren't I...

Hmm...tempting.
On one hand theres the chance destroy all those who have wronged me and laugh as they burn, but on the other theres my loved ones and that small problem of mass genocide...

Considering we're already on the way to blowing the shit out of each other with nukes, give me 30 of them to bore into the earths crust around the world and let it rip.
At least it will cure global warming, terrorism and the fact we're going to crash and burn when we run out of oil in a decade.

Yes
The only reason is because we have to save all other life by killing humanity and if I didn't save other life forms then humanity dies from starvation anyway.

no, but i would probably eliminate a medium sized portion of it, say 60% of the global population.
...we're gamers. we destroy humanity every day.
oh, you mean real life. i choose not to answer that until after story time, so here goes:
i was driving home from work yesterday, southbound on one of the major thoroughfares in chicago. suddenly, there are lots of car horns, swerving, etc. i'm thinking that there's a deer or something on the road, but the universe threw me one better: there was an old woman driving the wrong way down the road. she literally pulled her car onto an off-ramp (which she would've had to pull a u-turn to do), drove northbound (for a fair amount of time, based on how long the reactions of other drivers were going on), and got pulled over by the world's most dumbfounded police officer. i had to pull off too, because i couldn't stop laughing.
so, do i want to waste my time on exterminating humans when they do such a bang-up job of it themselves? probably not.

Nah. Someone else will do it eventually and I'd rather not have to take the blame.
... Or I could be the puppet-master to that person... that might work...

no way
what point is ruling over the ashes of humanity plus i might get lonely and ashes don't make good conversationalists and they cant do basic tasks like get me a glass of water
plus using nuclear weapons to destroy humans you are going to have no animals and few other plants left either and what of all the creatures that live in symbiosis with us would you kill them also ?
no far better to simply thin the population of those who wont be expressly faithful to their new master probably a virus

100000x NO
I don't care how bad it's been for humanity right, because it's worser hundreds or thousands of years back. At least in modern days, people can make polls about "would you destroy humanity" without getting their tongues cut, repeatedly flogged with rusty iron-tipped whips, then put to death via mutilation.
Back then, they have problems with smallpox, now it's nonexistent. Today, we have problems with pollution, global warming, etc. Tomorrow, some dude (you may have killed if you choose to kill humanity) may have found a way to help eliminate those. It takes life for progress, not death.
I'm no fan of even eliminating certain "unsavory" groups in humanity, as even in those groups, there are a few decent dudes that may do good for society. Heck I'm not a fan of killing certain people either, whether their intent may be good or bad, as some of them, or maybe the son or daughter of any of them (or even one of their sons or daughters), might be born one day to invent a way to cure AIDs, turn a third world country into a first world country, saved a few lives as a doctor or nurse, or be the person who helps the guys who do, like be that carpool dude that helped make the other person's life easier, or be that maintenance dude that cleans your crap up and make the whole place disease free for you to thrive in.
Heck no matter what little reason, you don't know that that grumpy bastard at the apartment above you actually gave $10,000 of his retirement fund to charity for the blind or something. If you choose to destroy humanity, it's one big major fuck up for both you and for all humanity to even think of choosing to destroy their own kind, as you killed a lot of people who has more right to live than you do, you sick, genocidal bastard

If it was something like all humans instantly vaporize painlessly then sure because what would happen to reality if there were no humans to observe it? Would anything exist? Would it matter? Do humans define the universe by observing it? Can we ever find out?
