No. "Human being" covers a huge range of circumstances, abilities, actions, ancestries, and so on. There are SOME universals ("do the crime, pay the time" AKA "make a mess, clean it up"), but they are too far outweighed by cultural specifics for your hyperbolic characterization to apply.

Has my post somehow pushed one of your buttons? You're getting very intense over somebody else's personal motivations & beliefs.

Yup, I evidentally pushed one of your buttons. Have a cup of tea & relax, instead.

I'm not going to bother replying to the rest of your post. No offense, but you were either being deliberately obfuscatory, were high on legal or illegal meds, or have some major unresolved issues that don't bear inadvertant touching by anybody else.

BTW, your attempt to redirect this thread has taken what should have been a simple biology/ecological discussion into something inappropriate to this particular sub-forum ("Laboratory - Science and Technology"). If you wish to expound on your personal philosophy & attack that of others' in neurotic depth, please go over to "Oh, the Humanity!" or "Coffee House" instead. If anybody is interested, I'm sure they'll reply.
