I don't know. Studies have shown that dolphins have more complex communication skills than we do. I think that a lot of animals have more basic communication. As far as I know they don't chat about what they did that day.
My whole point to all of this was simple. Humans feel that we have the right to be the judge of who is and isn't important. As for eating animals, we are not omnivores, we are herbivores. Eating flesh and the by products of these animals is unnatural for us. We use the same reasoning to enslave animals that we did to enslave blacks. Big Business thrives off of the idea that animals are somehow lesser because they have an invested interest in us being apathetic towards them. We put together justification in our minds that we are better then them in order to keep from changing. A life is a life and if anybody feels like we have the right to enslave animals then we have the right to enslave and kill one another.
I don't feel like responding to an endless list of non-sequiturs. I make a point of stating that humans have a unique ability to do "X' and your response is "why would a human want to do "X"? :smashf:
Random, seriously, when you're ready to have an intelligent discussion and address all the points I've made in this thread, please let me know.
Move to Spain.
You don't even understand why these questions are being raised. If you feel strongly enough about our ability to know what a sun rise is then you must know why it is important to do. Can a retarded person look at a sunset and sit in marvel of it? Can a baby? Can a fetus? What if I said that the people who can appreciate snorting cocaine are superior to those who do not? Would this make sense to you?
Hey Random. Check out the thread talking about how classy the new VP is. In it JoeC claims that Cheny is a stand up guy who quit his job with Halliburton to become VP. I posted an article about how he still collected money from them deep into his term as VP. JoeC said that the article did not counter anything that he had said.

I can personally vouch for this claim.
Dave has pledged to personally conduct a one on one debate with me when I finally make my first trip to Las Vegas.
The topic - conducted over drinks and buffet meals - will be which of the hundreds of women we see that night is the best looking.
:drink:
now this is some funny chit
maybe it's semantics, maybe their definition of being torn apart is different than what your typical lab rat might think.
Joe, I see you didn't take my advice, you deserve this nonsense my friend.
