As I stated, I feel sorry for you.
Feel sorry for me? Do you think your better then me or something that you need to feel sorry for me?

One would hope that as humans moved up the evolutionary ladder, we would separate ourselves from some of the behaviors exhibited by less developed species. Do great apes kill their offspring? Do dolphins? If so, please provide me with supporting evidence, because I have never heard of such a thing. Perhaps it is the defective lack of conscience exhibited in some humans that causes this abnormal, regressive behavior.
Link Yes primates other then humans do kill their offspring.
Link So do Dolphins apparently.

You took a position that people don't care about the wrongdoings in the world around them, yet feel outraged on an individual level. I maintain that my outrage over egregious behavior is not limited to individual notorious cases. I believe that the goings-on in the world outside of ourselves does affect us. Since you do not possess empathy or compassion, it would be impossible for you to grasp this, but I'm sure most people do.
How does some guy killing a baby affect you? Fact is if you never read the article or heard about this case it would have no effect on you at all.

I made this statement because I do not believe in "an eye for eye". You made this statement because of your apathy about life in general. You claim that you value all life equally and do not put any specific emphasis on human life overall, yet your remarks seem to indicate that you find any and all life of little value in general.
In the over all picture of things in the universe we are insignificant. I do however place a higher value on my life then I would any other, I will do what it takes to survive because like all life that is my purpose to simply keep going and see how far I can make it no matter what. I understand that every other life on the planet does the same, and this includes you as well. You do what you have to to keep going and when it is all said and done no matter how much people say I am not capable of taking another life they can.
Within each and every person lies the ability to commit the most horrific acts without remorse. For some of this ability is closer to the surface then many would like to think and given the right situation everyone is capable of devaluing other life when their is at risk or for their own gain.
I won't lie if someone told me to kill a child or be killed I would not think twice about my decision.
QUOTE
If you cannot make a distinction between an animal killing to feed itself and person murdering a child, then again, I feel sorry for you.
As I said other animals kill their young yet you seem to only think it's wrong when a human does it.
Yes I do recognize the distinction between killing for survival an not.

I do have an idea, I don't assume things...
I don't judge, I simply say what I see...
You did assume and you do judge, you judged everyone here laying criticism all around and then made assumptions about me. There is no point on lying about it you did exactly the opposite of the above, there is no debate here just your denial.
QUOTE
Please, with all due respect, don't even bother to try and make me look like the bad guy, you and everyone else who reads my posts will know they are addressed to you only, my conversation is with you, no one else. I have no need to start a flame war...
You first post was directed at everybody and I was simply the only one to reply, as for respect I will give it when I get it and you have given me none thus far.
QUOTE
You took the words from right out of my mouth, I couldn't care less what you think, neither do you have to care for mine, which im sure you don't. And though it was me who used the word "answer" first, I don't think there is anything for us to answer here...
I agree
QUOTE
This is a forum, anyone can post here, this forum is not yours... didn't you say we are all entitled to our opinions? well, that was my opinion too...
This forum does have rules though and making insulting remarks as you have do violate the rules. I could care less about how you live your life or who you are nor would I mock you for it as you have done to me. Your entitled to your opinions yes but instead of criticizing me which is what you have done just criticize my posts and don't hold them against me as I don't hold yours against you.
QUOTE
With that being said, there are more intelligent topics out there that do not revolve around such a crude subject, its bad what happened to the baby and I put in my two cents... if you want to make it your hobby to come here everyday and post how normal you think it is, by all means do, I'm done and I'll leave it at that...
You can reply all you want...
I didn't say it was normal for this type of thing to happen I am just saying that it does happen and not just humans do such things either.
People always ask the question why? There is an answer to that question although people rarely want to hear it and that is because they place themselves as a species above all other species.
