Animals do what they have to do because they actually have to.
True, but not only because they have to. If you place similarily evolved animals in a situation where there is food in abundance, they still fight over it, even without any need for it (as seen with monkeys).

We finally have the ability to judge our actions, and do the peaceful and less destructive thing. But we haven't gotten past our instincts yet.
So? Evolution is a slow process, give it time. Our cultural and technological advancement has been unbelievably fast.
But our bodies' change is slow, so is our instincts'. If you placed a human baby from 10000 years ago in our time and educated it like a normal child, it would develop into a fully normal human being. We have stoneage-brains. You can't expect change on a biological level so quickly.

We still act like animals act, but now we do it just because we can.
No, because that's what we are.
Yet our societal rules, technology and community enable us to live together as so much more than mere apes.
And that is something to be proud of as a species.

Always pleased when someone spots the deeper meanings :)

No. You're not crazy.

I'm the same way. I hate most people because I know most of them are assholes even though I'm generally very positive and compasionate. But, most of them suck and I resent a lot of people. Mainly my gender.

About 70-90% of all males are egotistical, sexist, insensitive, homophobic, selfcentered, useless piles testosteron who would be better off dead.

And I also have a deep hatred (and desire to kill with my bare hands) to people who torture animals out of fun. This is why I dispise most hunters. I understand if you're hunting for food (even though its easier to just buy food at the fucking store) but when you consider it sport, I've got a serious problem.

How about if I use my Great Dane/German shepard mix dog to chase you up a fucking tree and shoot at you for sport? Not so much fun now is it?

I remember one day when I was at school, I overheard a conversation of girls who were talking about their boyfriends and one of them said that her boyfriend had captured a rabit and burned it alive and posted pictures of it on Myspace. I couldn't help but get emotional and start weeping.

I knew the kid she was talking about and I found him and proceded to beat the living shit out of him. The teachers found the pictures on his phone and Myspace and called the police. I was still suspended but I didn't care.
