It does raise a question though: If aliens came to earth who were demonstrably more intellectually complex than humans, would you value them more than humans?

Depends what their intentions were. If they were here to harm us and cause us harm, then I would murder all the aliens I could. If they were here to advance us and help us then I don't see a reason anyone should be killed. The reasons I value human intellectuality and ability to understand and comprehend more than animals is because it helps the human species. In the grand scheme of things, I don't really care much who is superior (animals or humans). Humans are more useful to me and can help me have a better life, animals can't. I value human life more than animal life and that will likely never change.


Since this is the bitch box, one thing that's really annoying is when Moderators delete their own posts.

Why would moderators deleting their own post annoy you?
Whose post was deleted?

I'm not sure if you mistyped or not. I'm just asking.

I remember in the confess your quirks thread, you said you hated it when you saw grammatical errors in your own posts but you weren't bothered when it came to other people. Now kick yourself.

I see you've completely missed the point of my question. That's okay though because I'm pretty tired of this discussion anyway.

I thought the point of asking the question was to get an answer, which I gave. Meh, glad you're tired of the discussion, I have been for some time now.

One of yours was a few pages back I believe. Didn't say much anyways, but it just kinda annoys me to be reading back over some posts and be confused as to where someones post went.

Q: What time is it?
A: Strawberry.

You should reevaluate your perception of reality.

I haven't deleted any of my posts here today. Maybe you're mistaken? I'll check what's been deleted, but unless my memory is ridiculously horrid...

Edit:
I merged a post in this thread. No deletions. The forum software can't lie...

Eh, not a great analogy in my opinion. Heh, I will respectfully decline your suggestion as well. Merge? As in, you made two posts into one, but deleted everything in the post that was merged? Not trying to make it seem like a big deal, just seems like that's what you did.

It's not going to seem like a great analogy to you, because it's about you. If you haven't seen the relevance this far into your life, I don't suspect you'd understand regardless. But I thought I'd give it a shot anyway.

Regarding the merge, I actually don't remember what post I merged in this thread. It's a bit difficult when I'm constantly moderating posts, threads and doing everything else we do all over the website on a daily basis.
I'm sorry if you're not satisfied by this answer.

But you should be...
It's an answer.

I understand the analogy, I just don't think it's a good one. He asked me a question, I answered it. It's too bad he wasn't satisfied with how I chose to answer, but those things happen I guess and since the discussion is over I guess it doesn't matter much.

I am satisfied with your answer. I remember what the post said and exactly where it was and it seemed to be poking fun towards me a bit. But i didn't take it very serious, which is why I ignored it and never responded. I was just reading back through a few pages and noticed it vanished. If it merged, the entire post that was merged was erased. So it was basically just deleted. But it's all good. Just a bit annoying to see posts disappear I guess.
