    Yes, 'by mistake' is something else than 'on purpose'.
    I don't see why less consciousness automatically means less value.
    Do wild animals treat humans differently than a fellow species ?
    Do wild animals not eat humans on occasion ?

    the things i say... i don't even believe them... i just say so that we could have something to discuss...

    it's better to kill a human than an ant because humans suffer more. ants are happy.

    if you have less consciousness you have less stuff... like computers and photographs...

    If you are going to continue saying stuff you don't even believe yourself, don't bother anymore... :bugeye:
    This has obviously become a meaningless discussion.

    What DO you believe ?

    "i don't discuss because i think different, i think different so that i can discuss"

    but i don't want to make you angry so i had to reveal that. but if you don't like it, just think... maybe i was lying? or why not just pretend you didn't hear it?

    there is only one thing i believe... but i believe it so much that it's not a belief, it's a fact. i wanted to believe in nothing, death... but i can't stop believing in rebirth because it's a fact, so i have to believe in everything.

    And posh people. I could name a thousand word pairs that should sound identical but don't. Stop pretending that there are rules.

    aunt-ant, aunt-ahnt. Technically aunt should be pronounced ahnt or awnt but I have always pronounced it the same as ant. It depends on where you live. It's a dialect thing, no?

    It's posh or not posh. Pick a side.

    "au" = "a" lAUghter.
    "au" = "or" flAUnt.

    Ant = proper.
    Awnt = posh. (or wannabe).
