Are Bears Mammals?

"Nontheless mammals"? Just what kind of crazy animal is that?

Never mind, I found a picture of one. A juvenile, to be precise.

Skwim, I'm very happy you provided a picture of a nonetheless mammal for us all to study.

However, may I remind all discussants, potential discussants, and alien interventionists alike: It's cute if you look up facts about things, but facts are nothing in light of my very, very strong feelings on the subject. Sufficiently incited, I may even use "irregardless" or "orientate" and switch "your" and "you're" to shock and awe-slash-irritate you.

Bears have no idea if they are mammel or not.
Just try asking one.


You bring up a good point, Terrywood. If one cannot even determine one's mammalian status, can one be trusted at all with the divine secrets of the ya-ya sisterhood?

Everyone isn't equally an expert in all things, that's just ridiculous. An expert is someone who's worked hard a good part of their lifetimes researching a specific field. Intelligence is specific not general.

You don't know as much about biology or mechanics than a biologist or engineer because you've used your brain to study an old religious text.

Next time someone in your family or you get sick don't go to a doctor, go instead to a theologian - heck he'd be just as much an expert in medicine, right?
The thing is that in any case as in every case each person is to be our own expert.

I am not a Doctor and therefore I am not an expert at medicine, BUT, but I still remain the expert on myself, so that if some expert Doctor wants to operate on me or intends to cut off some defective part of my body or just to prescribe medications then the final decision is still my own and not the Doctor's decision.

We must be the experts concerning our selves or else we would be shirking our own duty.

If an expert mechanic wants to work on my car or some expert engineer wants to work on my home then I have the power and the duty to be the expert of my own business before any other expert and they need my permission to act as an expert to me and my business.

The same is true of religion in that some Priest or Minister tells me what is a sin or if I am to burn in some "Hell" or even if the Rabi gives me their blessing then the finally tally is my own as I am to be my own expert concerning myself and concerning my own faith.

Like if some high-level Preacher (expert) declares that bears are not mammals then it is our place to seek the truth instead of believing some other person as an expert of our personal business.

A personal relationship with God means "personal" as in one-to-one and not one plus an expert standing between the one and their God.

Yeah working in a hospital I've seen lots of smart folks, experts of their own destiny, ignore doctor's advice and get themselves half killed and since I work at a county hospital they cost the tax payers much more than we should have paid for their wasted care as well.

I guess it's true we're all experts of our own opinions, you know what they say about opinions eh? They're like *******, everyone has one and they all smell.

Clearly none of you have any real knowledge of bears.... :areyoucra

Bears are actually a Cherokee clan that realized that farming all day was a drag and decided to live a life of leisure in the woods. Now they get to sleep half the year away. Just don't call them lazy to their faces. :beach:

This is clearly a young, (placental) polar bear in a snowstorm. Quite appropriate to the OP, I'd say.

Now if you really want to go off track, wait till the gay community discovers this thread.....:rolleyes:

Truly there is much wisdom on this forum, and I am humbled to be among you all.

Let us observe a moment of solemn silence while we ponder the bear necessities. In honor of our Great Bear who took the form of a mammal, the holy Eucharist will be offered in the form of gummy bears. Which of course will transubstantiate into a vod-bomb.

Then the party will really begin.
