By our own definition humans beings are pests. Is this a true statement?

I think we are a litany of adjectives and noun describers. But above all, be aware that we are human first and most detrimentally. Then again, I think butterflies are the only creatures who seem to live without conflict- maybe because they know their time is short and delicate, while we think we are iron clad giants.

No, we are not pests. All humans have the ability to be good, kind, loving, caring, compassionate and generous. Some individual humans choose not to be so, some of the time, but that is their temporary problem not their, or your or my, permanent condition.

No, they are sheep. They will do what they are told and when they are in a group, they follow blindly.

While we most definitely war with each other and we cause damage to our environment, WE DO NOT CAUSE climate change. Climate change is a natural cycle of the planet and will happen whether we are here or not.

Yes.

I object to the expression if it does not include humans, it's so typical for human arrogance to see everything that upsets their way of living as a pest to be eradicated.

No, "we" humans are not pests by any definition...

with some individual exceptions....

Yep, most of them are- if only there was a second earth to deport some of them who don't behave-sigh!

I think humanity is more parasidic then they are pests.

Not true, we are a virus.

yes.
