• what in the world do these pictures have to do with human diets?? i mean really?? in any case they were great shots some of them must have taken a lot of time or just plain dumb luck either way nicely done

• First of all, I agree Phillys comments are the best!

  Second, although I agree with some of what @Humans Sucks has said lets keep in mind that you are a human...if you are so bad then help out and kill yourself. You use and abuse the earth as much as everyone else - proof - you are using a computer, which uses energy(resources) and pollutes on many levels. There are also so many other things I am sure you do day in and day out that does the same. Don't think that riding your bicycle to a protest of the oil companies is any better - the tires you ride on were made from petroleum, the frame is metal that had to be dug out of the ground and smelted, etc, etc, etc......

  Lets face it, we are all a part of the system whether or not you want to believe it. The only way to NOT be is to kill yourself. So think a bit before you start slamming people.

• these were pretty cool thanks for sharing. added to my stumble favorites.

• @Humans Suck-Your rants have been long and impressive. I will not even try to deal with them all, but i would like to address a few key points.

  Dolphins have been known to kill for fun. (their also one of the few animals that have sex for pleasure).
  Many animals eat their young, including (as already mentioned) polar bears and lions. Nurturing instincts are not present in all animals.

  Humans do these horrible things from ignorance. We do not have an innate desire to do these horrible things, however we do have a capacity to go to the darkest depths. The Genocides and Mass Murders that you discuss are due to particularly conducive social conditions and indoctrination, although such behaviour is still inexcusable.

  To many people are easily bent to the wills of madmen. These humans you seem to hate so much (which you are to unless your one of the aliens from district 9) are the product of group dynamics and societal norms; i actually suggest you read up on group psychology, its very interesting.

  oh and @ claude, your first comment was either really unnecessary, or a very good troll.

• @probably getting drawn into a useless flamewar

  I agree somewhat with your reasoning. But we do have to understand that nothing that is ever said is always 100%. Although I say "Humans Suck", that does not apply to everyone obviously, including myself. But it does apply to most. I have my faults as a human also, but I can at least recognize the difference between what we should be doing, and what we shouldn't be doing to help the world and our fellow man. Most people in the world either don't care, or try in some manner to justify their ridiculous notions.

  In that line of thinking, it is also obvious that not all animals in the world are the same, and as you point out some of those animals have what we might consider bad characteristics that smack of the same bad characteristics as humans. However, just because you can point out a few exceptions in the animal kingdom, it does not diminish the number of bad characteristics that permeate human society. After all, there are exceptions to every statement of fact.

  I do believe that the American people need to take a long introspective look at what we are, instead of blindly believing that we are somehow better than everyone else in the world. We are one of the most violent and war mongering nations on earth, and we glorify that image in the eyes of our youngsters. We blindly impose our will onto other Countries as if we had a perfect right to do so. We constantly make mindless and ridiculous arguments such as "We need to go blow the hell out of them" (meaning other countries) and " Love it, or leave it" (meaning I haven't got the brains to put up a good argument with you, so you should just go be with others that I also happen to disagree with). In fact, one of the people on this site actually suggested that I should commit suicide, because they couldn't think of a decent and intelligent argument for what I said. I really feel sorry for that person (@MHB).

  We are one of the mosted armed and deadly forces on earth, but the idea behind a large capacity of force is supposed to be so that we would never have to use it. Not so we can just fly around the world pushing people around and forcing them to our will. Wasn't that the way Hitler managed his regime? And you know what the world thinks of him and his people.

  If we can't force others into doing what we want (such as Iraq), then we try to buy their loyalty and compliance (such as with Iran and most other worldwide Countries). We have done many things recently to reinforce our negative image to other nations and to make them hate us even more. And from what I see, we deserve every bit of it.

  You can either continue to believe that we are somehow better than other nations and brush off the criticism of us as a nation, or you can actually listen to other nations complaints about America's indiscretions, and see if there is something we are doing that is undermining our credibility as a world leader. Either way, "humans suck", and that includes most of us.

• Shut up with this stupid debate and just look at the pictures!

  They're so cute! xox

• I eat small children.
  Anyways!
  These photos made me giggle. :)

• Now I don't profess to be an expert on the war, in fact, I'm not even an American, I'm English, so I probably know less about it than most people (the media here is more focused on the atrocities committed closer to home, and the war is only brought up when Mr Brown has to defend his decisions after the death of yet another British soldier) but I do see that, as HumansSuck has pointed out (a few times), we are a flawed race. And that goes for the people who are supposed to be intellectualy superior to the majority of us; we make mistakes, which comes from the capacity to choose, to have free will. Perhaps the thing that sets us apart from the animals is the very thing that makes them function in their own societies better than we do in ours. But as a race, we're still very young, and surely that's how we evolve; through trial and error? If we don't make these monumental cock-ups now, then we'll just make them in the future, and with the millions of screaming death-rays of eternal power sure to be in use a few hundred years from now, maybe it's better that we screw up now. I think that the war in Iraq was fuelled by the greed of the Western society, but in their rash, foolish haste, our leaders knew better than to openly declare their intentions, and so came up with some transparent, bullshit story, in order to gain the support of their citizens. It's wrong to say that these soldiers fought for nothing, because they fought for the greater good and progression of their countries. So yes, the war in Iraq was an appalling error of judgement from those elected to protect and guide us. It was a mistake.

  As for the war in Afghanistan, I think the reasons for going to war there were bona fide; the people who lived there were put through hell for a century. Faction after faction of tyrant governments 'liberated' the people from their previous tyrant government, and these citizens celebrated the arrival of each faction, thinking that each would eradicate the horrors of the last, but each faction just continued terrorising and extorting the people. It's just the whole 'catch a mouse with a cat, but how do we catch the cat?' situation. And western civilisation, in our self importance, decided that we were better than these governments, so we decided to 'help'. Our intentions for this war were good, but our brains were severley lacking. Several years have passed, and people are still dying, except that now men and women who had nothing to do with any of this are dying with them.

  As I said, I don't know much about war, but I think that it's a soul crippled by the choices of the corrupt and inept bureaucrats that heaps all humans into one group and proclaim that they suck. Life would be so much better without governments, or at least if democracy actually existed in so called 'democratic' states.

  I can't believe I just got roped into arguing war on a thread of animal pictures. Maybe this is what's wrong with the world. We're argumentative little fecks.

• omg omg omg! i work in an office with 3 nosey horse-faced jackasses that spend their days staring over the walls of my tiny cubicle at me... so when i saw the picture of the 3 donkeys staring over the fence i laughed so hard i almost soiled myself. I'm printing it out and pinning it to my cubicle wall... the one they will no doubt be peering over!

• *(i said fence but i meant stone wall) lol
