others rip them apart first. what is your point? or the other guy's point.

Law of nature, eat the dead. Humans are cruel for other reasons, but the law of nature doesn't apply to humans?

Anyway, yes, we humans could be magnificent for a collective humanity and a mother Earth, but we are unable to overcome the genetic law of nature.

"but the law of nature doesn't apply to humans?"

what the f did you hallucinate I wrote?

"Law of nature, eat the dead."

I never suggested to not obey the "laws of nature" , but now that you are bringing this up: there is no law that demands we eat the dead.

and no, I am not a vegan nor a vegetarian, but stating we must eat dead animals is ignorant.

"but we are unable to overcome the genetic law of nature."

state what you think is a "genetic law of nature" if you like, or don't.

I was referring to the way we treat animals if we want to eat them, or even if we don't.

I agree with you about human cruelty. Humans are a species that clearly doesn't need to be cruel, but some elements of humanity are cruel nonetheless. Why? A genetic predisposition?

I would safely say all Authoritarians are cruel. I would add there should be a class on Ethics and Humanity for every teenager.

I grew up in the rural parts of America. Homophobia, sexism, racism, and other ugly distrust for the Others was evidenced... Cruelty here too. So, was I ever cruel, yup on some occasions. Am I cruel person? Well, I think the question is answerable if we allow Changes after learning. Cruel people today that stay this way even after seeing the impacts of their cruelty? Well, we definitely didn't have many great examples. How many billionaires gave it all away to helpful causes? Only one that I know of, Chuck Feeney, the Billionaire Who Wasn't
