I don't mind to see it, but I also have no reason to. I'd rather see woman-woman :D

but thats more disgusting than human-animal.

I don't mind if people talk about it.

:eek:

I can understand it in comparison with me and a woman, but not on a personal level.
I think they should if they want to. They can tell eachother they want to..

but thats like a human doing it with an animal, exatly the same thing. exept they are the same species. it is wrong. what if animals did it? then we as humans who rely on them would die, just like everything elses would. due to no reproduction.

Eventually I don't mind what is having sex with what. I don't like to view animals in pain though and as animal cannot consent with the sex, it could be in pain.

I cannot be disgusted about words..

Ok first, I don't care if the human race gets extinct. I would if I had kids perhaps, but untill then, I don't care. This world does not need humans and neither does existance. Even if it does, it's only existance.
Second, why is it wrong? Because the sex is done without the concept of creating children? If liking sex isn't one of the purposes, why did your Allah give that feeling to it then?

Hello People :)

We aren't plants nor mineral, so that leaves animals. We eat, drink, reproduce, etc. pretty much like animals.
Hehe. What I don't quite understand is why some folks are offended by the very idea that we are a just another animal on this planet. I wonder if they realize that I find it offensive that they are offended?

I am offended by the notion of you being offended by another persons notion of offense being offended by another person being offended.

you know the very same thing can be said in vise versa. do you agree to that?

i mean animals being humans rather than humans being animals?

i'm not offended one tiny bit YmirGF, but the thing is why do you downgrade humans to such a low level?

But the concept of human has far more riders than that of being an animal.

It might be the equivalent of saying that "if all Americans are people, all people are Americans".

Because people such as yourself need to be reminded that we are merely a clever ape. It is inconsequential if you do not accept the term and maintain the delusion that humans are not animals as your attitude does not change reality a single iota.

Seems to me that this attitude you speak merely furthers the point that humans are merely clever apes.

In fact, I will even go on record that there are several threads here on RF that show that some of these clever apes ain't so clever after all......

Why are animals are so lowly? I am assuming you eat meat. Don't eat them or drink their milk. We used cows a long time ago for ploughing. We coudn't grow crops if it wasnt for natural defences of spiders and other insects.

Without animals, it would be difficult for us to exist.

Ah... but you didn't see the two versions I wrote prior to hitting the "Submit" button. I assure you, they more than addressed your point. I just thought I would be generous.:yes:

Why do you consider animals "low," eselam? This seems to speak to a profound personal insecurity. Why should it bother you that your status might not be elevated above all others?
Is this a self-esteem problem?

good question, something worth answering.

well lets see a cow will give birth to it's calf and then that calf will end up being the husband of that same cow that gave birth to him. nothing wrong with that right, we should do the same. we are animals after all, aren't we or are we?

This seems to speak to a profound personal insecurity. Why should it bother you that your status might not be elevated above all others?

seyorni we are talking about human and animal, please don't tell me you consider yourself equal to a chimp?

Is this a self-esteem problem?

not at all.

and i still wonder why was it that we could controll so many animals and yet nothing controlled us. we suddenly come to the picture and bam, we do as we please as if we were, well lets say, superior or masters of the other creatures.

why have animals not ever used us humans as their slaves just as we have done to them? this question excites me every time i ask it, cos no one has ever answered it properly.
