    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    i do see your point and i agree with alot of what you're saying, but i disagree with the fact that uniqueness, even in an arrogant way, would damage our society. Embracing difference is a good thing. Its just as important as embracing others differences.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    The same reason a cheetah wouldn't wanna be called a cat. Cuz being a cheetah is kinda freakin cool. I think being a human is kinda cool. I am an ape, technically, but I'm a human, litterally.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    i agree we don't deserve our own family, but why not our own title? Why do i have to refer to myself as an ape? Why can't i just say human or person.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    First, I'm still laughing from the homo ignoramus. Secondly, because I am different. My ancestors are scottish, but I don't call my self a Scott, because I'm an American. My even more ancient ancestors were apes, do I still have to classify myself as an ape? Though, technically, I am an ape, why...

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    you're not listening, I'm not above anything, but i can still be different. I am still different and if you read more closely it says complex. meaning not a stick to get ants out of a hole and these are not the only differences. And i escape it just fine. Our similarities don't make us one, they...

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    hahahaha well put. I guess it all boils down to what you consider monumental differences.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    You're continuing an argument that's already been subdued. Nobody is arguing against your point.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    I am special. As is every other living creature that's ever been on this planet. It feels like you have to prove to everyone that "YOU'RE A MONKEY!" Why do i have to be non-unique just because we're evolutionary brothers.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    you are aware that none of them do all of those? You can't argue that there are monumental differences between "people" and "monkeys"

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    all you're emphasizing to me is that i shouldn't call an orangutan a monkey.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    i'm not arguing that, I'm just clarifying my definition in the previous post and giving my reasoning for describing myself as a person versus and ape.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    you left a few things out. The use of complex tools and multiple forms of communication. Greater ability to calculate and multiple perspective thinking, which if you ask me are kind of big differences.

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    non homo sapiens. I think most people us the term ape as a description for what is commonly referred to as monkey. I wouldn't call myself a monkey, therefore I wouldn't call myself an ape.I would however call my self a person, human or homo sapiens, which, when used in that context means wise or...

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    let me be more clear, we are not the common litteral idea of ape. Don't read too litterally.:)

    Why don't some people like being created?

    We don't like it because its not plausible. We see adaptation every day in even the most complicated organisms. We've seen evolution even in as short a time as a couple hundred years in humans. There is scientific evidence, there is half life dating, there is constant mutation recorded every...

    Why don't some people like being Apes?

    Every body seems to be pulling away from the actual point here. We are not apes. We are homo sapiens. Our evolution or adaptation or whatever you want to call it, is a branch off a path. The same path that primapes branched off of; and every other living organism to ever step foot, fin or belly...
