so childish pictures have a truth in them now? what is it?
Yes.
That you not only do not know what you are talking about, but that you are proud of your ignorance.

that humans are not animals and anyone who was smart would see this and understand it, i guess we haven't some across someone like that yet :p
Nope.
We sure haven't.
But then again, most people on this forum are smarter than that.

it is not my balief, but the truth, reality.
You are flat out wrong.
Furthermore, you are spreading lies.

it is not because i believe in it, but because it actually is true.
No it isn't true.
Not that you are willing to accept the possibility you are wrong.

we aren't in an animal kindomg, because we are not animals.
Here we go again.
You keep telling yourself whatever you want.
I know that you are wrong.
As do es everyone else here.

how many anaimals have you seen wearing clothes, and how many humans have you seen living in the jungle and eating bugs.
What does this have to do with it?
Answer: Absolutely nothing.

it is not my belief, already mentioned it.
Actually, it is merely your belief.
And a rather ignorant (not to mention stubborn) belief at that.

thats right, thats why i am saying that you guys should not tell others that humans are animals, if you believe it, thats fine, you can call your self an animal, but do not call me one, and do not try to convince people that they are an animal.
Sorry if the truth is so insulting to you, but the fact is, you are an animal.
You don't like it?
Tough.
The facts are the facts.

thats your oppinion and i'm not going to deny you the freedom to make one, but it is not my belief simply because i say so.
But it is nothing more than your belief.
A belief that is at least now based upon stubborn ignorance that has no basis in fact or truth.

it was wrong of him to say that, one reason being he can't read your mind.
He did not have to read my mind.
I flat out told him.
I am also sure that he could tell by the way I treat him and his family.

which scientific community might that be, the RF one?[/quote\]
THE scientific community.
You know, the one does not alter the facts, deny the truth, and or flat out lie to itself, to make the facts/truth fit its beliefs.

there is no peace and harmony as long as man is in controll. we heve destroyed that.
I agree.
There are many species of animals that we human animals could learn quite a bit from.

of course, thats part of life. we too eat animals. but if YOU actually understtod those channels, you would know that humans kill animals just for the funn, and not always, for food, meaning we are the destroyers of peace and harmony for killing out of fun, which other animal do you see killing others just for fun, you must have an answer to this because you watchs the "discovery channel and the animl planet"
Cats.
I have five of them ranging from 3 pounds to 12 and a half pounds.

yes right again, i'm advising.
More like you are spreading ignorant lies.

4 leged creatures that are not mamals, so are these to speices (trees and no back bone creatures)

Just to let you no, just because a 4 legged animal isn't a Mammal, doesn't mean it as no back bone. Reptiles are nor mammals and they have back bones, hell even Snakes(a long reptile with no legs) has a back bone ^_^

friend, are giving examples to prove your point that hard? i can just say to people you are worng and thats it, end of discussion, if you are truly smart and are telling the truth, please feel free to answer my previous posts, then we shall speak, but a yes or no answer will just prove how stubborn and ignorant you are in deffending your claims.

i really do not like to become like a non muslim and ask you for supporting facts, or proof, or statements, or comments, your examples would be fine, i take it you will not make up lies to deffend your claims.

very funny, but i'm not laughing. :D or maybe i am. :shrug:

I actually did it to show you something :rolleyes:

You keep popping up thing that we differ from other animals, but you can do the same amongst other animals. According to your clothing, jungle, bugs thing, the crab no longer is an animal, but a human.. Or at least it's own section..

Are human beings a type of animal?

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.

To settle the issue for some of us, I will go with Aristotle - the human is a "social animal" with the rare ability to think for itself and live according to reason.

so just because a peice of clothing gets stuck on a thorn bush, it is a human. it doesn't matter that it has no brain, it doesn't matter that it can't talk, move, sniff, etc....

rare ability? i think you've got this the other way around.

i gues it was a rare occasion that you reply to others' posts too. and it was already prepared by chance and you just copied and pasted out of thin air, right.

Crabs have brains. I searched some pictures for you, but you can easilly do that yourself and we can keep this thread without bloody pictures :p

With that, the pieces of clothing did not accidentally stick to his body. He choose to to disguisse himself.

Animals use attributes on theirselves to make themselves prettier for the ladies, to blend in environment or to shine in one, to stay warmer etc...
Now why do humans wear clothing? :rolleyes:

first of all, do you remember that animal instinct, that i mentioned a bit ealier, that what that crab is doing, you said it yourself here in this post, read the red words.

humans do not wear clothes to make themself prettier for the ladies, if so then how the hell does an emo get a girlfriend and i don't?

humans do not need to blend in the environment, we do not have any predators to want to eat us, so we do not need to disguise ourselves. there are people from the middle east who don't change their way of clothing even though they live in the US. so this goes out the door too, your part of the post.

and the only part that the humans do have is actually a reare occasion that an animal will, wear clothing for warmness, horses are ussualu covered to keep warm, but then again diessel cars alos get covered in winter to keep warm so that the diessel does not freez. so back to human.

So when humans do it, it is humalike, but when crabs do it, it is instinct? ...right...
easy arguments you create there..

humans do not wear clothes to make themself prettier for the ladies,
Nah, but in the west ladies do dress to make them prettier for guys, right? :rolleyes:


if so then how the hell does an emo get a girlfriend and i don't?
ehr...:help:

Predetors are not the only things one wants to blend in for.

Really? This is incredibly surprising. I would have never guessed you have no biology education.
Strange, he said that he did quite well in the class when I asked him. "Better than you would expect" was his response. Perhaps he was just confused or maybe he meant Math.

oh i mean i never did biology as in from satrt to finish, in my home country just before moving away, i was in high school and did biology there, it was good, i was the best student, but too bad i had to move, so i never did it again. that what i mean as in in never did it, never failed at it.

no no, it was correct, in my home country i did these things, i was the best student, in class, but moved away and just wasn't interested in them anymore, it wasn't the same language and coulden't be bothered to lear the smae stuff i already did once.

i already answered this, we dress to keep warm, to hide our personal/shamefull parts, etc.

Nah, but in the west ladies do dress to make them prettier for guys, right? :rolleyes:

no they dress to show of their body, why else wear a 30 cm long peice of clothing, thats not called "dressing", it is called nudity. dressing is different.

ehr...:help:

that right.

Predetors are not the only things one wants to blend in for.

yes also the environment, but why don't arbs change their way of clothing in the western countries where it is much colder? the same for the indians.
