food for thought (arent we all parasites?)

[insomniacmom266]

Aren't we all parasites because no matter what we do were living off of someone else. if we have any form of welfare yep were living off the goverment the food we eat we live off the farmers we work we lie off our bosses our parents? and no matter what we do we live off of someone else so rightfully is anyone else better then anyone i mean unless you completly grow your own food raise your own meat come up with your own curancy then you are not any better then me or the next joe blow..hell i think humans are the worst at being self sufficiant hell i mean at least animals hunt and humans? well theres a blank being drawn because really we dont do anything for ourselfs...just a random thought

You make a good point.  But on the other hand, the farmers need us to make money from growing the plants or raising the animals we eat.  The bosses rely on their workers to get a job done.  Without the employees, their business would fail. We both need each other to succeed.

go read Self Reliance, by Thoreau :)

no community would function without everyone working together. A society needs the laborers, teachers, soldiers, farmers, bankers, leaders. to function. That's not a parasitic behavior because everyone's working together to benefit each other.

A parasite latches on and sucks the life out of it's host.

People on PA (not all of them) are not comparable to parasites. Many many people are being helped by the gov't but at the same time helping themselves. Only those who abuse it and do nothing to better them selves are similar to parasites.

I would rather call it a mostly mutualistic symbiotic relationship :)
