God knows, I have enough reasons to hate humans. But not all humans are like that and so I wouldn't want to exterminate them. In fact, most humans I would say are decent people.
Also, humans are the best chance life has of getting off this planet and spreading elsewhere. Given the fact that life is extremely rare in the universe and that the earth is going to be destroyed someday, I'd like life to spread to other planets and get preserved. As of now, only humans can achieve that goal.
@ Bhagwad: Its not about me hating humans but the fact that this one species have managed to dominate and almost destroy the entire planet. We tend to see progress or success in human terms but if you look at it in terms of the planet, I think we have actually regressed from perfectly balanced eco-system to a highly skewed one (in favor of humans, of course). When we talk about going to another planet, we again talk in human terms but wouldn't that mean that we will destroy yet another planet in name of progress?
Sometimes I think that may be there is life in other parts of universe, however unlike us they haven't yet destroyed their planet in the name of progress of one species and thats why we haven't heard from them.
@ PB: Ha! Spiders. You live in Australia and only thing you are scared of is a spider? By God, I will be scared of so many other bugs out there...

Yeah I see your point. And I probably would agree with you. If I didn't hate spiders as much as I do :P
