Here's your sign

Do we, as humans, have the right to dominion of the earth?

Are we to take control of the entire earth (and possibly more) or is it our responsibility to cater to the other species?
Are the other animals to be under our control, or should we let them roam free?
And if we eventually meet aliens, if they are intelligent, but not as advanced, should we enter into brotherhood or subjugate them?
What if they are equal, or greater

Dear tomorrow, Find some sensibility, Respond to emotion.
Dear Politician, Define sagacity,
All chances of survival are beginning to diminish.
Comedy is no excuse for our own blasphemies.
Mass media, Mass pessimism, Mass Denial.
My television tells me to panic, but I don't think I'll listen.
The apathetic force us to persevere, with their backwards priorities.

In a word, yes.

I believe we, as the most known advanced life in the universe, must preserve it. what a great job we're doing.

We evolved to this. So I'd say yes.

Oh yeah, since somebody does not believe what YOU believe; that makes us vapid...
I cannot grasp that what you call "Something happened to nothing, and that nothing became something, and it was smaller than than a period."

As far as I am concerned, humans have dominion over the Earth and are to use it for survival. If any other form of life comes that shows it is as sentient as humans, then yes, I think it would be good to respect them as equals.

We have it for a good reason. We're the most intelligent species on Earth.

As of now that is humans

There's no way to get back experiences you missed.
So start right now today and risk furiousness for bliss.

Yes, but I also think that with that power we should take care of the Earth so we dont screw ourselves over.

We are the only organisms that have the power to. So we win by default I guess.

Absolutely. We are the most advanced species on this planet and the ones who are shaping it's fate. Hell, we have the ability to completely destroy it.

If we disagree, it's nothing personal, opinions are opinions.
Antagonizing me to build a false sense of worth is so damn cute.

Brighten your day with science.

“If we will disbelieve everything, because we cannot certainly know all things, we shall do much what as wisely as he who would not use his legs, but sit still and perish, because he had no wings to fly.” - John Locke

"How can anyone be enlightened? Truth after all is so poorly lit." - Rush

No. We have a right to the place as the superior animal on this planet, with all the power and responsibility that holds.

Survival of the fittest. We were meant to rule over all of the other animals. We're the smartest, so we're the most dominant.

We have progressed so fast that we own this planet weather hippies like it or not. What we are to do with it can be contested.

Just remember that no matter how terrible you feel, or how much you want to let go, there are people who care about you and love you.

We are the apex of life on our planet, we should not abuse it.
