I love humans. Especially with a little salt and pepper.

How do you feel about secular humanists? Are they simply delusional or evil in hiding?

So I take it you won’t actually be answering our questions. You’ll just quote and mock/insult us. Right?

You have to admit the little ones are cute, at least until they get too big to chase with the lawnmower.

Yes. Cute like bot fly larvae.

What meetings, buffoon?

You know it!

Humans, becuase they’re so predictable: Will they eat it? Yes. Will they hump it? Yes. Will they kill each other for it? Yes. Etc.

Naw, I already did that schtick in “Ask The Cat.”

There is no difference as the delusional themselves are hiding from who they are. Secular humanists, the devout, the philanthropic…same wine, different bottle.

So typical.

Always with the projection. Why should I care what humanity thinks? This thread invites humanity to hear what _I_ think.

I think I speak for a lot of us when I say, I’m a bit scared to hear what you think. 🙂

I don’t like apes; I prefer monkeys.

I’m in a better mood now than I was this morning– **Twickster** convinced me a few years ago to check the rage. But while the original sentiment of post #1 holds true in a general sense there are, like, a handful of humans who are deviant enough that my smug, self-satisfied inner Napoleon wouldn’t gladly see devoured by kittens.

Ah, who’m I kiddin? I’d gladly see y’all devoured by kittens!

The only thing that made _Jurassic Park 2_ tolerable for me was rooting for the dinos.

How can you hold ALL of humanity in contempt when there’s that youtube video of the 4 year old girl with her dad singing Home by Edward SHarp and the Magnetic Zeroes?

Oh and Muppets! The new Muppet movie is out now, surely you don’t hate the Muppets as well?
