- Supposedly Humans are the most intelligent of species and are supposed to be set aside from other animals especially by our perception and thinking. However when you really start thinking about it humans are the ONLY animal that kills for NO reason or just for fun. Even the most deadly of carnivores only attacks out of fear or hunger or when fighting for a mate among their own species. And when hunting for food they tend to go after the weakest and sickest prey first.. which in essence means they go after the animals who on their own would probably die a much worse death if NOT eaten. Also by primarily hunting sick animals predators prevent other animals of the prey's herd or family group from contracting the illness. So in a way their hunting is even a form of euthanasia in many instances, maybe not the most pleasant euthanasia but still better than waisting away in a slower MORE painful death. Animals ALSO will defend their loved ones.. and yeah yeah some people might try to say they think animals don't love.. but i highly doubt those people have seen animals stand firm in situations that they themselves were TERRIFIED of under normal situations because they sensed that someone else needed their protection.. (I've seen this with horses who are actually in nature PREY animals not predators). Animals also give unconditional love which is EXTREMELY uncommon with humans. OK so I'm sure A LOT of people who read that last sentence are trying to say that isn't true but think about it... if the person you loved suddenly had some major thing about them change? like f or instance they hurt their back and couldn't give you attention they way you like anymore? i had that happen recently with my two cats.. for a while i couldn't even pick them up or have either one lay on me if they weren't staying still and one normally does NOT stay still when wanting attention. animals stick through things like that and don't even pause in their affections. most people don't, most people if they stop getting the specific kind of attention they prefer will STOP caring or "fall out of love" with a person. my cats instead promptly adapted and figured out what i COULD handle, and have been helping me get through my injury on the emotional level. My cats have practically rejoiced now since I've started to regain some functionality and can pick them up again and stuff. In our society seeing PEOPLE who cope as well when someone has something happen is rare.

A place to throw around ideas and concepts. The title is latin for I write you will think. (though I'm sure the latin grammar is probably a bit mangled since I only took one year of latin and that was MANY years ago)

ThInk Blot starter
OK so I decided to start this blog. I chose the title for it because i WANT to try to bring up ideas and subjects that either make you THINK or are "controversial" or just plain make you go "Hmmmmm". As for any comments you might make on this remember I'm NOT trying to please you. If someone isn't at least a little taken aback by most of my posts I'd be surprised even though I'm not going to be posting trying to be offensive. Simply put I know a lot of people get set in their ways and don't WANT to think and consider other points of view which is going to be the whole point of this blog. If you've got a subject you'd like me to look into and maybe look at from your point of view then say so POLITELY and i will do so, keep in mind though i will also add my own opinion and will TRY to all add an objective point of view also. . Yeah i know that sounds far fetched to a lot of people but me I'm a bit of a compulsive learner and thinker, and unlike most i went to one high school where we actually had a class that the whole point was to teach us to think for our selves and be willing to look at ALL aspects and views on an issue before making an opinion.
