The fact that they are both avian means nothing. Fact: Humans are not capable of as much as novas are, whether intellectually or physically. Humankind as a species competing directly against novakind as a species will come off second best in purely Darwinist terms. But the same could be said for the eagle and the songbird. My Opinion: What makes a creature "better" or "lesser" has nothing to do with species, and everything to do with how well they fill their niche. For intelligent species such as humans and novas, that expands to cover many levels of being. My Opinion: Humans who strive to reach their full potential are doing more, with less, than novas who are content to swank around feeling superior. In my eyes, those humans are "better". But if a nova strives to reach their full potential, that potential is almost immeasurably greater than any human. That doesn't make the nova "better", just innately superior in terms of capability. But the nova who doesn't thus strive to improve themselves is no "better" than a human with the same attitude, despite their innate superiority. Also My Opinion: Y.T. is an idiot, and I don't expect them to grasp the entirety of what I posted. It was mainly addressed to the rest of you out there. Doubtless Y.T. will, all undaunted, grasp one portion of my post, take it out of context, and attempt to prove some nebulous point in order to deflect attention from the fact that they can't string a coherent argument together due to drinking far too many Amp Wells and ingesting Mite recreationally.

Note the parts witch I have bolded of you statement. Superior, one of greater rank or station or quality. Note that you state that "Humans are not capable of as much as novas are, whether intellectually or physically." Yet, with all your superior intellectual you go forth and drown your own words in the cold embrace of a dead base's wisdom. If you are forced to quote someone you are saying that you cannot state what they are saying any better than they already have. This statement is then saying that you are not intellectually superior to them. You stating that they are your peers. Now, you can go on about how I am lacking in intellectual, but that will not change the fact that you will still go home use human money embrace human ideals, hold onto human comforts, live in a home made by a human mind. You will go to sleep thinking nothing can harm you, and that with all of your power are truly safe. I just have to tell you this, I have seen greater people fall.

Y'know, I was begining to think that the people who'd been blowing me shit about being full of myself and egotistical might have a point. Then I read this shit. I feel so much better about myself.
Now, YT, I don't know much about you except you're one of those murderers for hire, but I got to ask, why 'warn' people here? Are there representatives for San Jose or Los Angeles here? Why not just send their respective city halls and email or something?
No, you post it here because YT needs some attention.
I can dig it. I love the attention. I just tend to be more honest about it. I get in front of a crowd and just eat up the cheers, the boos and the chants. It's fucking heaven. Why don't you try it sometime? It's a little less fucked up than posting little "look-at-me, look-at-me" threads.
