And like you said, I am a human so that is also why I value human life more than animals. Cause really, the betterment of humans is what I'm most concerned about.

Well admitting that you value humans more simply because you're human certainly makes sense, but all this talk of us being at a higher level and capable of greater things doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. What are you basing these comments on?

My point is just that when you see a homeless person begging, you can assume they are in need. And most people don't even want to spare their pocket change, which means hardly anything to your average person walking down the street.

Wow, I think you really missed a substantial portion of my post there. Again, I think you have a very simplistic understanding of the situation with panhandlers.
