I can't exactly be proud of my kind when I realise that humans like me have brought mass-murder, extreme racism, enviromental damage and other stuff upon this planet and it's inhabitants.

But who else has done that?
NO OTHER SPECIES WE KNOW OF!

Fuck, we could blow up our planet if we really wanted too.

I only really meant amazing as in both good and bad ways, but lets be honest, that's another amazing thing that we've done, created morals.
GO US!
[small]Yeah... how do you like dem apples, nature?[/small]
And lets be honest, how could anybody go, 'Humans aren't great at all while typing on a keyboard while connected to the FUCKING INTERNET!?

I know what team i'm on, Team Human!
[small]Woooooooooooooooooooooo![/small]

Cause if we stop criticising ourself we won't improve

That sounds about right. If we don't complain we become complacent and eventually lose all of that greatness that we don't have. Also...we haven't eradicated disease. There are many strains and virus's that we've killed off and, found ways to combat but there's still disease. It's not as bad as [INSERT NEWS GROUP HERE] may make it out but we're not completely free of disease.

I guess we are pretty great though. We're less than a decade away from Lunar Pizza [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.310693-Dominos-Plans-Lunar-Pizza-Joint] after all!

 

[vrbtny]

because we invented mullets.

Well that's put all other theories on this thread to bed in double-quick timing.

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

"We have eradicated disease" - I only have one thing to say:

...
I meant to say some disease, difficult to concentrate when my brother is pestering me.
But anyway, all of your other points are pretty much null and void, especially the cockroach one.

'Oh no, a cockroach can survive a man-made weapon of mass destruction, well that's certainely showed me herp derp.'
How many things can it NOT survive?

Space?
Oh no, a space program got cancelled, well we are shit in that case aren't we?
CROWN THE TERMITES SUPREME RULERS BECAUSE WE CAN'T FUND A SPACE PROGRAM.
*sighs*

Now i want you to do something for me.
Look down, what do you see?
A keyboard, used for what?
Typing our language or OTHER languages onto a document or the internet.

Now compare that to what a cat does.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

I have to disagree. We have made significant advances, but we are all pretty much douchebags. To a fault.

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

Space?
Oh no, a space program got cancelled, well we are shit in that case aren't we?
CROWN THE TERMITES SUPREME RULERS BECAUSE WE CAN'T FUND A SPACE PROGRAM.

"i'm in space"

Aww man "Here is your prize, but in order to earn it, you have to find it" :/

 

[Dracowrath]

Because for all our superiority over other life forms, such as a higher brain and opposable thumbs, we often choose to throw that all away and act with our baser instinctual brain and kill each other. Often for senseless reasons. Until we can stop doing that, we're really no better than beasts.

So, why are you complaining' TREASURE HUNT!

 

[Dogstile]

"We have been in space" - The space shuttle program just got canceled for us Americans, meaning that the billions of tax dollars spent on giant rockets was just moot.

I thought it just got its budget reduced, but the program is still there? I just checked and it seems that way.

 

[Hamish Durie]

because we invented mullets.

and are there for doomed

 

[InfiniteSingularity]

Well for one we're the reason everything is going to shit, if humans didn't exist the earth would be better off. We are also one of the few species to be self destructive and the most liable to cause major damage to an ecosystem through war or expansion.

The world might be better off, but none of us would care, because we wouldn't exist.

Empty argument

 

[Sizzle Montyjing]

This is what i'm talking about!
We are witty (well some of us are ), we have senses of humour AND THE MULLET WAS FASHIONABLE AT THE TIME.

Sorry people used to say i had a mullet (i didn't, long hair is NOT a mullet)
Oh and i'm 16, so no 80's child here!

 

[C-Mag]

Because we have a tendency to wreck nature and kill each other. So do all other species, truth be told, but we're far more proficient at it. We're also the only species which ever attempts to conserve its surroundings and the only species capable of killing its fellows which holds back for moral reasons, but some people are determined to hate themselves. Let them, they didn't take us into space.

At first I was all like "Grrrrrr". And then I was all like "hey this guy is aaalllright".

What really annoys me are people who act as though animals are somehow better or even more moral than humans. I personally think that we are the best, most moral and incredibly charitable species that has ever lived on planet Earth. Doubtless some people will point to war and slavery and all that stuff, and to them I point out that it is just that ability to recognize those things as evil that makes us so good. No other species in the history of the world has limited itself in order to protect its environment, but we humans have done so. The only reason that this is not more apparent is because we are so much better at pretty much everything than other species. The only reason that they appear to be better than us is simply lack of opportunity to be worse.
