Anthropocentrism is either the belief that humans are the central and most significant entities in the universe, or the assessment of reality through an exclusively human perspective.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthropocentrism#cite_note-0 The term can be used interchangably with humanocentrism, while the first concept can also be referred to as human supremacy. The views are especially associated with certain religious cultures.



Are you one of these sort of people?
 
In short. No

No purpose where?



If we didn't have a purpose we wouldnt be here in the first place.

Interesting response. Can you elaborate on why you feel that way?
 
Because he is a radical animal loving extremist.

You don't have to be a PETA freak to think lowly of the human race as a whole. We're basically a plague, polluting the world with a huge overpopulation to boost.

But, as individual people, we're all really really nice here, so let's not go namecalling

We're here, but we are doing nothing thats actually helping this planet, only making it worse, hence, we have no purpose, unless you consider destroying the earth a purpose.

I will elaborate in why i feel this way, humans have done nothing good to this planet, and only made it worse, they've destroyed the eco-system, and still do so, but yet still don't understand. The human race is full of hate, just look at the below post, nothing goods come out of it, if we were never here, things would have been so different.

P.E.T.A freak



Have you got a problem with that? Just because i care about the earth and animals doesn't mean I'm a PETA freak. Maybe you shouldn't take random picks at people when you don't know anything about them.
 
The human race hasn't done as many bad things as people think.



No, I'm not one of those people.

Global warming is not completly down to people.



The earth has been here for more than 4 billion years. The human industry has only been around for around 200 years. The earth has been warming since the dinosaur ages. Without a doubt, humans have caused minimal changes to our environment as it is already warming itself. Nature is sending Carbon dioxide in to out atmosphere by natural disasters. For example, the eruption of Mt. St Helens has sent more carbon dioxide in to the atmosphere than humans have for over decades. In fact, that eruption actually caused global cooling of 1 degree.



Most people do not agree with

- Over fishing

- Keeping animals for our entertainment

- Animal Farms

- Deforestation



So you still blame these people, All humans are the same are they?

No, I'm not Anthropocentrism, I'm Princessocentristic. I believe that I am the most important person in the universe.......



Seriously though--I believe that people are more important. That is not to say that the others aren't important too, but people should take precident over critters and bugs.

Yet it still happens, so people must still buy into these things, else there won't be a buisness for them.
