    Thinking that you are unique makes you unique, to you.

    Well, you're the only person that can be proven to exist, as far as you're concerned. That makes you pretty unique - maybe. I can't prove you exist, so I wouldn't know.

    Humans are no more or less unique than any of the other animals on Earth. We're just different. But then so is the elephant different to the snake, huh?

    Something seperates it, making it unique.

    Yes, and the question of the OP is ~what~ is it that makes unique. Do you know?

    Inebriation makes us unique.
    The rest of the time we are too busy trying to be what They want.

    Of course there is a little difference between all of us, we got different skills and so on. (Because we have a little different DNA - Although DNA is not everything, which twins are a good example of).

    Unique is a very bad word though, because as fast as there are any little difference a thing is considered "unique".

    I'd say humans are different. But some humans are very equal... (but as I mentioned: Every little difference makes something unique)

    I'll end this post with a quote:
    "Stupid is as stupid does." <- You are what you do. Are you doing something unique?

    It's a principle, if it looks like it, acts like it, smells like it, feels like it, etc. etc. etc. ad infinitum => then it is it.

    Not a single atom is the same as any other! So what property differentiates them? Making everything infinitly complex (since everything needs to have that extra something)?

    Maybe the entire lifetime makes us unique? No one has the exact same life, I would think that applies also to atoms.

    ANYTHING that sets you apart from the crowd. I for one have webbed feet, that is what makes me unique, but it varies from person to person. My mom's friend says "twinkle" instead of "tinkle" when she has to pee. Once again, it varies. Emma is unique because she plays hacky sack. How many dogs do YOU know that can do that?

    Probably just that stuff on the surface that we want to see. There may be waves on the ocean, but it's all water, nonetheless.

    You can't prove anything of what you are saying above. Except for saying that it is all a matter of a *principle*.
    It is a matter of principle that we say that each entity is unique.

    Like, pink is pink because we say that pink is pink.

    In a short answer I would say experience, because everybody's experience of life is different, as is each molecule's.

    That is wrong. You are not the only one with a webbed feet. On the other hand your webbed feet might be a little, little, different to other persons so that might still make you unique. But I think for example there are more people that says "twinkle" or cn play hacky sack.. So therefore that doesn't make anyone unique...
