Whoever's strongest. In the US, that would be the majority voters. In China, the government, in religion, whatever gods they have. The strong decide the rules that all others must follow. They generally decide these rules based on what they as a culture beleive is right, or based on what the leader thinks is write. Who deices what "rights" you get, and why? What decides that you have the right to not be murdered? Emotion and sympathy, as well as a desire for self-protection, which is based off of ones love of themself, a powerful emotion. Who decides that murder is wrong and why?

That is the concept of a theocracy, however, that is not reality.

This is reality. ("Strong" does not always mean muscular strength. There are many forms of strength and that would render your general statement false.)

It does not bother me to choose to kill an animal I choose to eat. The fact it may bother someone else is not my problem, it is their problem. The one thing that "animal rights"persons and other elitists do, is fail to provide both sides of the argument. By stopping one thing, you may make life worse for another. At what point does the rights of one trump the rights of the other?

Yes, and that may actually be a smarter way of living, so to speak, because their world won't fall into pieces when the oil runs out and WW3 begins...

Technically that'd probably be WW5, since the middle-east conflicts are probably already on their way to getting bunched up and recorded as WW4 historically.

World wars are pretty common. It's just that only 2 of them have included numbers (which are silly numbers considering they are not the first and second world wars).

Yes, it can be proven. The roman empire, which sood for 2 thousand years, existed a mere thousand years ago (give or take a few hundred years) if I am correct (which I believe I am). Think about it, the Roman Empire was falling shortly after the Christain religion was formed and Crist was supposedly born. That was 2011 years ago (yay calander) it existed for 2 thousand years, 4 thousand years ago. GreeceL another chunk of time. But even that long a time only adds up to 10 thousand years max of human civilazation on this planet. Species wise I don't know, no more then 50 thousand years, certainly not 10 million.

Yea, if we include all the major or global wars of the past we would have at least 7 World Wars I think... but right now the Middle East would be WW3, right?

Depends on the historian. Seems to early for them to agree on official labels, but the Cold War is quite possibly going to get the WW3 consideration.

Spiny eels are not eels yet are still referred to as such.

I think this is a wonderful point.

I'd rather not jump into the whole subject because let's face it, I will never change your opinion and you will never change mine. No point in getting riled up about it.
