What do the words "inhumane" and "humane" mean to you?

Asked by RealEyesRealizeRealLies (30951points) December 16th, 2011

Somehow Lacking pity or compassion. and Characterized by kindness, mercy, or compassion just doesn’t seem accurate to me. Doesn’t that presuppose that pity, kindness, compassion, and mercy are universal amongst all humans?

I see just as many humans exhibiting spite, jealousy, anger, greed, and apathy as the so called humane virtues. If humans do it, doesn’t that make it humane… regardless of what it is?
