A book I've read said that what separates humans from the rest of the living organisms on Earth is their ability to abstract ideas. For example, give a human a map and he'd instantly be able to distinguish that a square with a cross symbolizes a church. A couple of cusped squiggles stand for a body of water. Other primates could also be able to communicate but I think, in the known world, only humans are able to think in terms of symbols.
Simply put, the alphabet and language makes us humans. By alphabet, I mean any set of predefined symbols, not necessarily part of the English alphabet. By language, I mean any set of combinations of the symbols of an alphabet bearing a predefined meaning (Those who know state machines and computer will probably be able to phrase it better than me)
I was, at first, though, tempted to say that the ability to use technology makes us human. It is only true to a certain degree for some technologies, like fire and computers, are completely beyond the capability of most, if not all, species. However, some primates, like chimpanzees, use twigs very much in the same way humans use forks to eat. Bees are also able to create very efficient housing, whose strength could probably rival those of our own edifices.
I also considered if culture makes us human but, as it is, some animals are also capable of inhabiting culture. Bees have their own society and their own culture. A bee from another swarm that tries to enter the wrong colony is immediately killed, on account of its different "scent". Macau monkeys have also taken to washing sweet potatoes in saltwater instead of just eating them right away. Even the majestic whales have their own music culture and the songs of one herd (or school?) can be quite different from that of another of the same specie.
Again, I do agree with my book that the abstraction of ideas makes us human.
wow, i never actually though of that. really, all i thought there was a god that made everything (us humans, and the whole galaxy and its items), and thats all i really thought about. heh, really nice there. what book is it called?

i use Mozilla Firefox. it has its own pop-up blocked =Dthe extensions rocks (including fireftp)The themes rock even moreeverything in firefox is cooli use internet explorer if only firefox acts up because ofstepmania when i finish playing it.
-
the people who puts pop-ups, why do they even bother? people aint that dumb to click what they want for free, it can be broken, it can be in bad conditions, but why do they even bother?
-
wow! thats really funny!!!! man, but thats discusting as well, but still very funny, who sent you the e-mail?
-
ok, here is something that i expirenced that are bad...Internet explorer- is VERY slow, Gets ALOT of pop-ups, Copied off of firefox tabs, gets annoying alot when you arent even on the internet.Firefox - nothing reallyOpera - Never tried, so i know notingSafari - Slow!Avant and crazy browser - Never Tried, so i know nothing of this either.Others (Browsar) - Cant keep track of history (middle)So i would think firefox is the best web browser for me. i will name good things for firefox now =Pfirefox - Fast, Less % change of getting virus, Tabs, Extensions (fireftp), and themes (black japan one, cant really name).now you know why i looove firefox now =D

This is all true. Martin Luther King Was the man that helped us break down "Seperate But Equal". i am just glad we are all together, different race, different religion, and other things. Martin Luther King Was a very good man. i kinda felt bad for him when he was a boy (saw this in a movie that the parents didnt let the white boy play with him when he was small) and he had a hard time living like the whites are above them. but He changed it. We are all equal ... well i like to give out info of what i know =P

This is gamemaker tutorials made by me only. this is step by step. you will make this through Coding
First you need to download gamemaker. well the link is https://www.yoyogames.com/
you DONT have to register to do this tutorial. this tutorial is based on platformer
anyways:
#1 Launch Gamemaker.exe
________________________________________________________________________________
I. sprites
#2a now, you need to make a sprite. so right click on a sprite folder, then press "Add Sprite".
#2b then "Edit Sprite". double click on the green space. then draw some character. like a ball, ect. just make sure it fits on character position. call it "char"
#2c then save it. repeat 2a-2c but instead make a sprite that best suits a block. call it "block"
#2d make sure the block sprite ISNT Transparent
_________________________________________________________________________________
II. Objects "char" setting up
#3a now for the objects. on the object folder, put "Add Object".
#3b then on the left side, below the name of the objects should be a thing called "<No sprite>".
#3c next to it should be an arrow highlighting a bar. press it and put the sprite "char". there should be the character you made there. do NOT make another one for the block until tutorial says.
__________________________________________________________________________________
III. objects "char" coding
#4a now, here is the hard part. so look CAREFULLY. anyways, the coding part. find the bar called "Add Event". press it. then press "step". 3 types of steps are there. PRESS "step". now go over to the right. press the tab "controll". then there will be a piece a paper folded with NO green arrow. drag that into the Bigger empty space. now in that script.
#4b add this to the codeing areaif place_free(x,y+1){gravity=0.5}else{gravity=0}if vspeed>8{vspeed=8}
#4c now "Add Event", "keyboard", press <left>, add code D&D, then code this:if place_free(x-6,y){x-=6}else{move_contact_solid(180,6)}
Then "Add Event, "Keyboard", Press <right>, add code D&D, then code this:if place_free(x+6,y){x+=6}else{move_contact_solid(0,6)}
Then "Add Even, "Key Press", Press "<up>", add code D&D, then code this:if !place_free(x,y+1){vspeed=-12}.
name this object "objChar"
___________________________________________________________________________
IV. Block Setup
Sooo Simple. the simplest one in the whole tutorials. anyways
#5a. Repeats step 3a-3c but put it block.
#5b.{new} there will be 2 check boxes. one saying "solid", another saying "visible". check on "solid".
#5c. Name the object "objBlock". and save it
____________________________________________________________________________
V. Finishing touch (rest of the tutorials)
ok. READY for the last things? ok, no more numbers, just direct instructions.
now, go back to ObjChar. "Add event". "Collision", then collide with "objBlock". then add code D&D and type this on the coding area:move_contact_solid(direction,12);vspeed=0
then your done with the objects completly. go to the room folder, right click, "add room", then use the blocks to go straight in a row. then press F5. save the game of course.
if you go through the walls, then look at 5b VERY closely.
_____________________________________________________________________________

I Hate School So Much school is really boring

Wow! thats alot of things you said. i would like say things little by little. by my responces with each paragraphs of my topic of quote:
looks at "should just stay home". they cant stay home forever here. if he was in school for 180 days, then he can, elsewise, he cane.
secondly, the bullies do think their tough, and you dont want to be a coward, but sometimes being agressive can be effective. like when a teacher is there and the bully punches you in the face. there goes detention for them.
as i explained my part, i can see all you are saying. but it is still difficult to be in school, and thats why i really hate it. i have to give it to you though. good job for explaining a lot. i learned a few things here. including the rest of your post, i still thank you.
