They are all different categories of living things occupying different regions on the tree of life.
If your claim is that "being human" makes you special, than this is little more than discrimination based on species, no? You treat one species better than another, and the better species is yours.
Do you not know how this is discrimination?
Discrimination????????????? are you serious?
I`m guilty of commiting almoust daily genocide on certain spicies of animals. By eating them. And then you thing there`s something like "discriminating a species?"
The central point of my last view posts was "We have a understanding of our surroundings and ourselves which is way suppirior towards other species"
And I dont think I have to explain more until you can actualy show me a potato or cockroach civilisation with spacestation, religions, housing, inferstructure and all other essential parts which when put together - form civilisation.
