The Bodyguard's Story - Trevor Rees-Jones. Its probably not everyone's cup of tea but I'm enjoying it.

Good find Matt. I'm really looking forward to the hillclimb, not so much the 500 but I won't say no. As you say, Kunos likes to work at snail pace so i won't get my hopes up yet.

Nice work Jens, music worked really well.

Well i believe it does. Untill we find our meaning, only then can we judge if we are more important.

Quote from amp88 :

Well, it seems like the ability to think and evaluate our surroundings passes by some humans.

Many humans have:
Free/cheap access to clean water for drinking/bathing/cleaning in their homes.
Cheap and easy access to processed and unprocessed foods.
Cheap electricity for lighting, cooking food, entertainment, communication etc in their homes.
Communication devices (phone, Internet enabled computers) in their homes which allow them to cheaply communicate with people all over the globe.
Access to public transportation systems which freely/cheaply transport them great distances.
Vehicles of their own which transport them great distances in small amounts of time.
Cheap access to aircraft which transport them great distances in small amounts of time.

etc.


What other animals have done the above?

That is just a materialistic perspective. We all have a purpose. The earthworm is natures recycler. What is our true meaning for being here? That question has been asked for thousands of years, I'm pretty sure we wont find the answer.

Quote from amp88 :

Humans have evolved to dominate all other animals. Our problem solving skills, intelligence, creativity, capacity for learning etc are superior to all other animals. The fact we have evolved to the top of the food chain demonstrates this fact. To say that we are not better than other animals seems pretty irrational to me.

I guess it all depends on what you define 'important'. Out of those qualities what has it done to better the world and the environment we live in.

Quote from tristancliffe :

Why? We are animals. We are carbon based life forms. We eat, breathe, reproduce, die. Natural selection and evolution have meant that in many ways we are technically superior (as far as we know!), with verbal and written communication, the ability to use tools and make things and what not, but in many ways we as a species are also inferior, with complex emotions that cause us to do silly things like make nuclear bombs, or form religious systems/governments (pretty much the same thing) and so on.

The world would cope fine without human beings. I think that makes us no more important than any other species. It's human arrogance (a negative trait really) to think, somehow, we are more important.

Wise words being quoted. Thankyou Tristan!

Quote from BlakjeKaas :

Not really true, human beings ARE more important than animals.

It's only natural that the human race assigns itself a greater importance to their own species than to others. But why, what makes us so 'important'?

Quote from JJ72 :

I am always interested in that angle, so in some perspective incest and having sex with little children can be right?does there exist something that is just right, or just wrong?

That is why our actions are dictated by law. Our 'freedom' is not absolute. It can't be. However, we can take delight in limited freedom. We all give up some personal freedoms in order to be safe as a community. Like I give up the freedom to kill who I want in order not to be killed by someone else. That is how civilization came to be.

Quote from Mackie The Staggie :

Who are we to decide what is and what isn't acceptable in other cultures? We aint the world police, as much as some would want.

True. There is no absolutely defined right or wrong, only perspective.

Signed, thank you for bringing it to my attention. Society dictates what is acceptable, and what is acceptable varies from culture to culture. I'd eat beef but a Hindu wouldn't. I'd eat pork but a Muslim wouldn't. But that doesn't mean I have to agree with it. As I see it, a cow doesn't have many more purpose other than meat/milk (yes they have been used for pulling carts and ploughing fields but those qualities are irrelevant in modern society). Whereas a dog has many more purposes, hunting, guarding, companion. So yeah, I don't agree with it, but that's coming from a the perspective of somebody who sees dogs as a pet.

Worst server I have played on so far. Seriously. If its at South City, you'll find cleaner racing at [CAD] Destruction derby.

Quote from khoianh94 :

It starts in 24 minutes after we explained his time fail.

Good luck with the race. Can't make it tonight but I should be good for the series.
