Neanderthals, animals and microbes survived without government assistance

Hello bront:

Nahhh… If the Neanderthals DIDN'T arrange themselves into groups, they would NOT have survived, and a REAL brontoraptor would be in charge.. The groups, of course, would NOT be leaderless. You know, and I know that SOMEONE would have taken the reins.

Can you envision that leader making SURE everyone ate??? I can.. Is that government assistance?? Indeed, it IS. In fact, it looks like SOCIALISM..

brontoraptor: Are you claiming that you aren't the beneficiary of any government programs?

I'm going to retire in a few years and I expect to get Social Security, Medicare and Medicade, programs I've paid into my entire life.

What a silly debate. Animals also crap on the ground. Should humans do that too?

Sure, you'll take what you can get. It's human nature. To act like a human is owed them by default, or that people who refuse to stop breeding are owed simply for being born is a laugh.

They already do.

To act like a human can't survive without them is a laugh.

How is that even relevant? You can survive without a car, 90 percent of the food you eat, hot water, the internet and toast. But why would you want or need to?

The former has gone extinct due to lack of structure and intellect to compete with our government-led structures that enabled people to work together despite conflicting interests outside of the unity under the economy they share among other things.

Animals die left, right and centre and a new species of some weird kind goes extinct at least every week.

Microbes... Lol. They go extinct so fast that they have to evolve new species regularly just to maintain their overall existence.

Animals still exist. They have no social programs. Tortoises even outlive us without social programs.

Not for long. ;) Either we'll extend past them or they'll die out one species at a time first.

The only animals who can compete like we can despite being so inferior are ones like lions, sharks, chimpanzees and dolphins which have actual politics and hierarchy etc.

Reptiles are the closest thing to sustainable anarchic creatures. They will die out eventually too despite having outlasted us this far (crocs)

Hello bront:

We didn't survive because of our animal instincts.. We survived because of our intellect.. If you learned your science in SCHOOL, instead of church, you'd KNOW that..
