Poll: Rate humanity! (on a scale of 1-8)

[gabe12301]

Rate humanity on a scale of 1-8 (because you can't have more than 8 on a poll)

I choose three because the majority of people suck. erm...not you of course.

 

[imnot]

I chose 5, because we can suck but not all the time.

 

[khaimera]

I picked four. Half suck, half don't

EDIT: I lied, I don't vote in polls ever. But if I did, I would pick four

 

[JoJo]

I chose 8, because for all our flaws I can't think of a single thing in this universe which is greater than humanity.

 

[winginson]

8 - we are the best at being human

more seriously 5-6 as most people are generally ok-ish

 

[kuyo]

Strength-3
Intelligence-7
Stupidity-8
Deadliness-4
Culinary-6
Poofiness-2
Green-2

 

[Luke5515]

I picked 5, because we cocked up a lot, but in my eyes, we did and are still doing, a pretty stellar job.

Based on what scale? The famous Douglas Adams quote springs to mind:

"Man has always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much...the wheel, New York, wars and so on...while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man...for precisely the same reason."

OT: Compared to what? assuming the number is an entirely arbitrary thing, I'd say maybe four. We are capable of both great acts of compassion and unspeakable malevolence.

I can think of plenty, like black holes. If there is something even more powerful out there it fills me with dread.

 

[Furious Styles]

I chose 5 because the good outweighs the bad

 

[GeorgW]

-42!!
Yeah, not a big fan of humanity.

Oh, and because humans sometimes forget to put a 2 as an option on their polls

 

[Alexias_Sandar]

I'm going with a 4. We're pretty balanced with heroic nature and depravity.

 

[mireko]

5 under current conditions, 8 once my reign of terror begins in 2032.

For some odd, bizarre reason I don't think he meant "greater" as in "more mass".

 

[BioHazardMan]

3, we do some good things, but as a whole we are pretty bad.

 

[Divine Miss Bee]

I chose 5, because we can suck but not all the time.

pretty much this. we're not perfect, but we're a little better than what i consider to be "average behavior"-not accomplishing much and/or being generally rude. on the whole we're a step above that in our daily lives.

 

[Ampersand]

I'm gonna give it a 6 by which i mean, it's a lot better then it was, but there's still plenty of room for improvement.

 

[Someone Depressing]

Picked 5. Yes, there's some Sarcastic Annoyin' smug British Dick-Hole *(Cough) Me (Cough)* and Yes Someone gave birth to Tommy Wasiuea, and yes poeple start wars over some twats sittin' in a cloud makin' shit happen, but at least there's something good happenin' for us, by us.

I was thinking in sheer power. They absorb everything that gets near them even light and sound. Something that can suck up everything we take for granted is worthy of my respect.

 

[Danish rage]

3..lots of room for improvement.

A black hole is more powerful, granted, but greater? Nothing else known in the universe can compare to the human imagination, our struggles, our joys, our pains, our love.
