you must not understand what i said. when i said that i meant that you shouldn't force someone else to change what they believe in, or their opinion. it is a very selfish thing to do and all humans and species are equal, none is better then the other so none should try to change another.

[quote]it is a very selfish thing to do and all humans and species are equal[/quote]Again, your definition of "equal" is vague. [quote]none is better then the other[/quote]Again, what do you mean by "better?" [quote]none should try to change another.[/quote]Okay, this I just flat-out disagree with. All progress is fueled by conflicts.

[quote]none is better then the other[/quote]Again, what do you mean by "better?" ^above [quote]none should try to change another.[/quote]Okay, this I just flat-out disagree with. All progress is fueled by conflicts.[/quote] progress is fueled by conflict? Last i checked Leonardo Da Vinci had no conflict, and he made designs for the first Helicopter, Plane, Tank. He also mapped the Human body and wrote what 90% of doctors and nurses use today. He is also probably the greatest engineer and one of the best artists in all History. Progress is only fueled by greed, hatred, and those who do think that they are greater to others.

Surely those who are more capable or more virtuous deserve more respect than others? [quote]progress is fueled by conflict? Last i checked Leonardo Da Vinci had no conflict, and he made designs for the first Helicopter, Plane, Tank[/quote]All of which are used in combat, but that's not my real point. Also, see above vid for another semi-relevant witticism from the GREATEST GODDAMN THING EVER COMMITTED TO CELLULOID, The Third Man. Anyway, my *real* point is that, without problems or confusion or disagreement, there is nothing to inspire thought or advancement. [quote]Progress is only fueled by greed, hatred, and those who do think that they are greater to others.[/quote]??? I may disagree with the "only," but it just seems like you did a complete 180. Or are you consciously anti-progress?
