What makes us human?

well i do think that although humans are conscious of themselves they sometimes just don't act like that ... humans are almost totally unpredictable ... and of course they lead wars for similar reasons like some animals (food, teritory, etc.) ...

but in the case of humans this is mostly greed, and the major point concernig the \"fighting each other\" i wanted to emphasize is, that animals fight just with there physical strength, whereas humans construct weapons and tools made for the only purpose of killing

that's what I meaned with my first post

I don't know, this turtle looks pretty armed to me! LOL

Hahahahaha! Well you`ve convinced me now Master Tom!

ok ... now THAT'S a valid argument !!!

but nevertheless (LOL) it just shows again the man-made machine (ROFL) made for killing ... ()

Oh no, this is a weapon developed by the turtle army of Madagascar to use against the great Zebra and Lion armies who are always stepping on them. This one was discovered by a Park Ranger about 6 years ago while investigating the sudden decline in Zebra Population. It was all the Turtles.

See, they developed an \"anti-stepping on me\" defense system as well. If you ask me it is quite the deterrent.

Leave it to Master Whiteman to bring humor to the thread. Those are great pictures, lol.

Every human beings could also be described as a distinct human person. At the very moment of conception, a one time unique individual comes into being. This embryo requires protection and nourishment to become an adult person, a development which continues right into adulthood.

Every human being (no matter at what stage of development) is not in the process of becoming a distinct person but is learning to develop his/her own individual gifts. Because each of us has gifts that the other does not and therefore leading us to express ourselves in different ways does not take away the fact that each of us is a valid and equal person. A human being is simply a person and is not a person according to his/her behaviour.

\"A human being is part of a whole, called by us the Universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings, as something separated from the rest a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circles of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
