I did answer you.
I stopped with the second grade explanations when my youngest daughter out grew them.

Now the lowest I go is sixth grade.
Sorry you are unable/unwilling to keep up.

It's a simple enough question. Yes or no, will suffice, although I have included a "maybe" option for those who have issues with reality.

So, what say you?

Whatever you think, please explain why you believe what you do.

i believe humans are humans and animals are animals. one of the differences between human and animal is....human can choose to be humane or not, animals do not chose. a dog would act like dog, a cat would act like cat but human on the other hand can act like human and also can act like a monster.

people look for privicy to do some stuff but animals don't. people would use bathrooms and bedrooms but animals do not.

if an animal -wild one- turns around and walks away from you, you can freely turn around and walk away too. it would not think, it would not think like "ok now i would turn around and when he thinks he is free to go i'd attack him from behind ha ha ha." you can trust an animal for that matter but you can not trust human.

so you are speaking of animals right. and you want to know their answer to.... what exactly?

yes or no to what?

I don't want the answer to anything. My post was in reply to 3.14 post asking "if we are animals then why is bestiality frowned upon?"

Actually, Eselam, .lava's so-called "points" have no bearing on the subject as what she is describing is behavior.
Click to expand...

so isn't behaviour associated with free will? and you do agree that free will is a great factor in distinguishing a human and an animal.

and you do know that there is only one species out of all the bilions that came about by chance to have free will. out of all the bilions, thats one in a bilion, how remarkable, it sound as if we were hand picked by god, don't you think so?

and just to understand you a bit better YmirGF, what proof would exactly satisfy you that humans are not animals, is it the points that Seyorny brought forward ie. anatomy, biology, natual history of the creatures etc. i haven't heard your version of the story yet.
