I live in the real world....Not some fake over romanticist view of the natural world like alot of you "Humans are the worst things on earth....we should go extinct" pansies live in.....

In reality all living creatures are cruel, mean, self centered, viscious, destructive things....Humans just have the ability to come up with uniquely destructive things and implement them in uniquely destructive ways....We ALSO have the unique ability to be reasoned with to hopefully minimize/reduce our cruelty

Saying that Humans are any inherently "worse" or more selfish/less moral than any other animal is just retarded.....and blatantly untrue....

More than 99 percent of all species, amounting to over five billion species,[1] that ever lived on Earth are estimated to be extinct.[2][3][4] Estimates on the number of Earth's current species range from 10 million to 14 million,[5] of which about 1.2 million have been documented and over 86 percent have not yet been described.[6] More recently, in May 2016, scientists reported that 1 trillion species are estimated to be on Earth currently with only one-thousandth of one percent described.[7]

If a lack of "morality" is the deciding factor why Humans are trash and deserve to go extinct then I'm afraid every creature on this earth would have to go extinct aswell (and many far far before humans)...

Alot of pansies simply do not realize just how viscious/cold/savage/one dimensional animals and the natural world are so of course they are going to think that Humans are the worst thing in existence....Are we really the worst thing in existence??? Of course not....But all these fruitcakes have an over romanticized view of nature....

Let's start small, and ease into it. Begin with the conservatives, and see how things look then.
Let the in-fighting begin.

If humans went extinct would you view it as a bad thing?

Nope. And there is no "if" about it, it's 100% guaranteed to happen. Everything eventually goes extinct and gets replaced by something else. There's no reason to view it as a bad or good thing that humans WILL become extinct, it's just a natural thing.

This time we can hopefully have our own planet without religous fundamentalist nutcases and other such poisonous ideology.

Personally, I think things were better when there was a very small yet intelligent group of people at the top and there was just everyone else. Heck, just look what we have where everyone gets a voice. The dumbest most evil people get voted into power willingly.

With that said I know if I heard there was a meteor or disease or something that was going to wipe out every human I would gladly welcome it. I think as a species, humans are FAR too stupid/ignorant/idiotic to deserve to exist, and humans going extinct would only be a good thing with nothing of value being lost.
There is no shortage of hateful little morons in the world. But most people are good and kind. Change your life now or be miserable, your choice.

I had read about that. I used to have a lot of respect for Hawking before he made that declaration that humans needed to leave earth and colonize new planets. Basically he was advising that humans need to go out and spread their poison to other places in the universe. After that I lost my respect for him.
