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?

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?

Maybe the entire lifetime makes us unique? No one has the exact same life, I would think that applies also to atoms.Last edited by Cyperium; 01-10-06 at 02:57 PM.

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?

01-10-06, 09:52 PM #16Probably just that stuff on the surface that we want to see. There may be waves on the ocean, but it's all water, nonetheless.What make us 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...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?
