  • If it's because of the chemicals industry or other stereotypical environmentalist rhetoric about destroying the planet then you should not be using a computer/mobile/tablet to type this. However, if you really mean the human body then I'd say whatever floats your boat though I still prefer sex with a human female than with an animal.

    • exactly.

      the whole "hate humans" movement is a bit of BS anyway.

      I mean they're happy enough to partake of the "spoils" of humanity - computers, technology, automobiles, medicine, math, science, cell phones, twitter, IIN - and then they turn around and complain about how horrible humans are, ignoring that they themselves are in fact contributing to the so-called problem.

      if you think about it, the whole "hate humans" movement is really just self-destruction and suicide.... proclaimed by people who really don't actually want (or plan) to stop existing.

      • Please note that I do not hate humanity and I don't think it is fair to assume that thinking something is gross equates to hating it.

        • I was talking about the people who run around here preaching how humanity needs to be removed from the planet.

          Yet they themselves don't want to be removed from the world... Which is why I say their preaching is bullshit. And it's double bullshit since they don't actually want to give up the benefits of being human.

          unless you yourself have been preaching that then this wasn't directed at you.

    • Actually, I was thinking about the fact that humans aren't toilet trained and require diapers when they are born. And even as they age, they don't always know how to keep that seperate from their fresh water supply and/or food supply. Perhaps we just forgot.

      Also, the local museum has an exhibit on all the slimy, sticky, and chunky body fluids humans produce. As we'll as the foul sounds and odors the human body emits.

      I did take the question at face value. Vomit, snot, and poop is gross. Humans are more likely to leave these things in public or shared spaces. And unlike many animals, we don't have the proper defences to protect us from our own feces.

      Thanks for asking. I would hate for someone to assume I had a hidden agenda with my comment. I guess I left off the last part before I submitted it. While I think we are gross, I still love us.

      • Apart from a few cats, few animals are toilet trained and all animals produce faeces, urine, or varieties thereof. (uric acid, guano etc)

        • That wasn't really my point. I only meant that as humans, we have some disgusting habits that other animals don't have. They may not literally be toilet trained, but our bodily fluids are quite toxic. Personally, I find cleaning up dog, horse, and/or chicken poop to be less gross than human poop.

          • I'm not following. Most animals shit and piss where they stand without regard. Many animals are virtually incontinent. There's very, very few animals that purposely 'go' in a separate area from their living and/or eating and drinking places(without human intervention). The only ones I can think of off hand that do this are certain tunnel dwellers that make an actual 'bathroom' in their labyrinth.

            Animal poop is usually laden with parasites. Animals get horrible diseases from each other, they also give humans some diseases. Humans don't really give animals diseases. Most animals are living with quite a few afflictions their whole lives.

            Aaaand, they use their tongues for toilet paper.

            • Pigs don't crap where they eat if they have room to move around. Of course, if they're in a tiny pen, they have no choice.

              Actually, when it comes to being filthy and disgusting, there is nothing more filthy and disgusting than a dog. Dogs are the only animals on earth that will eat human excrement except pigs and even pigs won't eat it unless they're starving. Dogs lap up crap like it's ice cream!

            • Humans are easy to make sick. Animal poop is far less harmful to us than human. Shit, I put it in my garden!

              I didn't know that animals can spead horrible diseases to each other. Is it really worse than human disease?
              Wow, why am I talking about this so much?

              • Your average wild animal has fleas, lice, several parasites, grubs and other larvae embedded under their skin, fungal infections like ringworm and hoof/foot maladies, etc.

                Animals get all sorts of bacteria and viral infections. Rabies, West Nile, avian and swine flu, distemper is an AWFUL disease, I had some cats get that and their suffering was horrifying and it literally turned them into cannibals. Strangles is a disease in horses and is deadly and very contagious, it's like human mumps. Respiratory infections, pneumonia....

                Then they get a bunch of other stuff that's not contagious but really, really bad. Anthrax, tetanus, etc. Anthrax is contracted from a spore in the pasture.

                Mother animals frequently have problems from pregnancy and birth. Certain infections can cause death of the baby w/o birth (it bloats and rots inside her), can also cause retention of the placenta after a successful birth. They get mastitis frequently, which is bacterial.

                Horses can't vomit or burp and that causes them added distress sometimes when they're sick, it can also just cause pain in general if they eat a bit too much. Cows can and do eat themselves sick or literally to death. Many animals are like this, they do not understand when to stop eating and it ends up killing them. This is why in cow and horse barns, the grain is secured away, because if they get into it, they will eat to death.

                They get similar diseases and conditions that we get and then some.

          • Must be personal poop preference. I'd classify them from vegetable eater (least toxic) to meat eater so horse least dog/cat most with human in between (omnivore). I can't believe the turn this has taken lol.

      • That describes all animals too.
