[font=Segoe Script]What if you were a cow? You'd be worried that you'll lose your life and you spread greenhouse gas. What if you were a chicken? Pig? Dog? ? Just be grateful you're a human 'cause you can do so much more without worrying about the essentials and death. Unless you have a rebuttal to what I have written, I think you should follow my advice .[/font]

easy and fun is your goal as an animal, as a human it is to survive pay bills and so on

[font=Segoe Script]Sorry if I sound snarky or seem as if I'm trying to start an argument, but honestly, you don't know what it's like at least you don't need to worry about dying, right? Just stop complaining. It really sounds childish...[/font]

but why would being a human mean that you don't have to worry about dying? there are lots of humans who do have to worry about that on a daily basis.
on a side note, i'm not sure whether you meant that cows are worried about spreading greenhouse gases or that they spread greenhouse gases, but a) cows are probably not worried about greenhouse gas emissions, i consider it very unlikely that they know about the greenhouse effect / global warming and b) humans spread greenhouse gases too, in much larger quantities than cows do.
so i don't really get your point here.

@Beatrix Griffith, so what I meant was: we don't have to worry about the essentials much. We can go to a store to get--about--whatever we need. Of course we have to worry about dying, I have Von Willebrand disease. Just a papercut or a scrape on the knee is threatening to my health. Cows and other animals have to worry about getting killed by humans, most humans have houses so we don't have to worry about getting eaten (unless for some reason, you must worry. I highly doubt that). Okay, I guess I was mistaken about the greenhouse gas thing, lol.

@Lily Reeser Sorry if I come across as trying to start an argument or anything, but I'm kind of put off by this - you do realize that's an extremely privileged worldview, do you? You might not have to worry about essentials - that's great! But there's so much extreme poverty and so many people who do have to worry about things essential to life, as well as those who do indeed have to fear getting killed by other humans. Just because you're not affected by war and poverty that doesn't mean nobody else is.
(I realize that this thread is supposed to be for casual chat, not for heated discussions and arguments or anything. Perhaps we could continue this by owl or simply stop arguing now?)

hey, guys how bout we take a break now since its getting kinda heated and yes some ppl do fear their lives since let's not forget criminals and what not is out there and the greenhouse effect is caused by chemicals co2 and more and cows have nothing to do with anything leave the bloody cows alone. how bout we change the topic so no one gets mad or ends up sad, let's agree to disagree after all everyone has their own opinions and beliefs and sees the world in different views and perspectives so we cant judge anyone.

No it's alright. Why am I always starting arguments?

@Lily Reeser who says people do not have to worry about essentials? a lot of people do not know if there will be food on the table for breakfast lunch or dinner, i'm sorry about your Von Willebrand but the world isn't perfect, a lot of people are at risk (including me). Yeah people worry about dying, like i for example have a very bad immune system and get sick very easily (i have a cold right now actually and am self quarantining because of the possibility that it might be COVID-19).

fun medical fact: in 2009, there was a swine flu epidemic in ukraine and me (being 3 and having an ever poorer immune health) wasn't allowed to go outside, at all. gotta love the aftereffects of bronchitis and a minor case of tuberculosis (as a child)-

@Josette Rutledge Happy quarantineing! I narrowly escaped it when there was a positive in my class! There were only four of us left, me being one of them!

One of my cousins is on her second two weeks! When she goes back she’ll have missed a whole month of school before Xmas!
