Basically, hell. At many liberal arts colleges/universities, the humanities is a group of classes (including, but not limited to, history, philosophy, and religion). Typically, you are required to take a course from the humanities, and subsequently, feel the immense pain and torture that the humanities so-kindly provides to all the students which must endure it. If you can avoid the humanities, do so, at all costs.
Person 1: Dude, apparently I have to take a course in the humanities...
Person 2: Really? That really blows, man... well, what course are you gonna take?
Person 1: Er...Philosophy 666, the philosophy of hell.

Humans are actually technologically advanced teletubbies from the future, brought here by time travelers. We have lost the antennas on our heads due to the development of the DVD and television OUTSIDE of our body. We have also gained higher intelligence, deeper voices and better speech quality through Rosetta-Stone, brought to the teletubbies time by Marty McFly. Teletubbies come from a place latter known as teletubbyland. Teletubbyland land is a very green, lush, and thriving country, currently known as Afghanistan.
Marty McFly: Hey Tubby, I'm your distant relative, I'm one of the humans!
Teletubby: Uh, Gah-durrr, Tubby custard!
Doc Brown: Do you wanna light this teletubby on fire?
McFly: Yes. *Pours gasoline on teletubby*
Teletubby: Ooooooh, it feels tinglay!
BOOOOOF!

Get the humane mug.Plural of those who subscribe to a humanitarian philosophy. Humanitarians feel sorry for certain people, and find pleasure and a sense of significance in taking care of them. Some humanitarians use private, voluntary means to help others while other humanitarians prefer to use the State to force the general public to fund their efforts.
Humanitarians tend to view humans as innately good and kind. They want to facilitate whatever each person wants to do, no matter what it may be. They enjoy a sense of paternalism as they provide for and protect their wards. This tendency might be appropriate at times but can easily drift into a subtle form of control and dominance.
Humanitarians cannot believe that people are naturally selfish and sadistic. They tend to hold a pollyannish view of criminals and attempt to mitigate their punishment. They hate to see anyone suffer pain under any circumstances.
Humanitarians have a hard time concentrating their affection on a limited set of people, such as their family or their community. They seem emotionally restless and transient. They continually seek out new people to befriend and help without ever settling into a committed, intimate relationship with any one person or group in particular.
Utilitarians, followers of the Social Gospel, collectivists, and the political left each find their roots in humanitarianism. The origin of humanitarianism is likely to be found in a certain reading of the Bible and understanding of Christianity that emphasizes unilateral forgiveness, charity, and the brotherhood of all humans. Such a view tends not to be balanced by a clear understanding of human depravity, and the fact that Eden will not be restored on the Earth until Jesus returns and creates a new Earth with spiritually regenerated people.

"Someone is at the door asking for money to help the poor."
"Oh, it's one of those humanitarians who is trying to save the world, one person at a time."
Months later...."It is the IRS knocking without a warrant. They are threatening to seize our home because we underpaid our taxes by 22 cents. They need the money for their government give-away programs run by some humanitarian who prefers to steal other people's money rather than donate the money himself."
