What Makes Us Human – Part 2 – “Copy Cat...

While our closest animal relatives have been swinging from the trees, humans have built a world that is vastly more complex. What are the defining features that have allowed us to do this? Are we special, and separate from all other animals, or are we just an especially successful mammal?

What makes us humans are nukes... The joy we receive from being better and stronger then others. The raw POWER that give us control, the POWER we have over others. the hunger for REVENGE! The HUNGER for COOKIES! Sugar Cookies, Chocolate Chip, Cinnamon, and those with SPRINKLES! WE WANT THEM ALL! ALL I SAY! We will do what ever it takes to get MORE and MORE and MORE! We will dig though EVERY ounce of Cookie dough Ice Cream to GET WHAT IS OURS! MU HA HA HA HA!!!

I`m sick of these monkey-loving traitors (Frans de Waal included)...we are the rightful masters of this planet and no god damn filthy ape is going to change that (Bush included)! Until they fill in the gaps in the anthropological data, I`m not going to be associating myself with something that flings fecal matter at people and snacks on it`s own offspring! What they don`t tell you is that chimpanzees are some of the most violent mammals on planet Earth. We always see these pussified chimps raised in captivity...but in the wild they are bloodthirsty animals that will stop at nothing to rip apart any rival that they deem a threat. Humans are a lot like chimpanzees in this regard, but at least we invented the bazooka, fer fyuck sakes!

HUMANS FTW!!!!!

What makes Humans HUMANS?

We store videos/pictures of our species having sexual intercourse in complicated devices that able to project the video/image at demand.

That is why humans are HUMANS

So you gotta be a human for your painting to be worth anything? Art is such bullshit it makes me want to smash artist heads in with hammers and use their brains to paint a picture and sell it for half a mil...

Loved the ending. Shows clearly that people are sheep(ish), and conform to the prevailing ideas, without giving them much thought.

The good thing is, we can go beyond that.
