What does "only human" mean to you?

[Jintor]

I think it means affected by both reason and logic AND emotions. Humans are emotional AND logical creatures, and it tears the crap out of people. But that's just me.

Opinions?

 

[sinkoman]

I think it means "i'm no more fallible than you".

 

[KagePrototype]

"dodge this"

 

[CrazyHarij]

it means just that, we're only human, no more, no less. all the deaths and everything crap that happens, as well as all the arguing about everything etc, it doesnt really matter. we're just human beings

 

[baxter]

It means exactly that, we are just human, we sometimes make mistakes, we sometimes get it all wrong, but sometimes we get it right.

We are also entitled to led our lives whichever way we want and believe whatever we want (although this does not entitle us to force our beliefs on others nor determine what others should or should not believe).

We are also entitled to go out and get drunk occasionally; after all we're only human.

 

[99.vikram]

To me, it means that we cannot work on pure logic like machines, that we cannot overcome our instincts completely.

 

[Jintor]

So weaknesses and strengths of being an animal that thinks?

Don't mind me, I'm drunk on adrenaline.

 

[Raeven0]

When I resort to the only-human argument, it is usually because my mind has to deal with being trapped inside a pathetic mortal shell that is altogether too weak to handle the abuse I put it through.

 

[Tr0n]

Short Recoil wannabe.

 

[JNightshade]

It means "I'm imperfect".

 

[Ludah]

It means "I'm imperfect".

Bingo.

 

[Mechagodzilla]

It's defeatist talk.
Folks use it as an excuse to be stupid.

Humans can't be perfect but they can still attain, through progress, a minimum of error.

I use it to taunt my enemies...So I use it as succeedist talk D:

 

[Mechagodzilla]

More like elitist talk.

Either way, it is overwhelmingly used to emphasize failure through personal deficiency instead of any unavoidable aspect of the Human Condition.

 

[Idonno >_<]

Being only human...well it means that we are bound to screw up once and a while. We make mistakes and its ok.

 

[Zombie]

I think it means purple bananas grow on digital capri windows.

 

[K e r b e r o s]

Holy shit man ... I declare a purple banana revolution! Digital Capri's, for everyone!

 

[Que-Ever]

"dodge this"

Oh yeah. I was thinking Darth Vader, or something. *hoo**kahh* "Only human." *carbon chamber*

 

[hari66]

[_Z_Ryuken]

First thing that comes to mind is Robocop, then he takes a socket wrench to his head and tightens his little dealy.

w00t 1337 Vader ftw

Only Human, eh? I would have to think that it can be positive and negative. Positive in the sense of war or something, not that war is good. Negative that we can only accomplish so much, but I disagree because unless some uber smart alien comes and does better than us, we are doing the best that anything can.

Sorry im contradicting my own statement
