Is morality unique to humans?

You really do have the cutest little "black or white" view of the world don't you.

If you must know, I vote for candidates on both sides of the ticket, including McCain in the primaries... :slap:

I also vote for Libertarians and Greens when they convince me they are good candidates.

Oh us independent thinkers.... ruining this noble country of loyal followers.:thud:

So you voted for the most liberal politician in American history for president, but your not a liberal. You do understand that each party has its own agenda. I seriously doubt that you ever vote for conservatives. If so its probably extremely seldom.

You are cute!

But if you think Obama is the "most liberal politician in American history" you are delusional and never payed attention in history class or the last few elections. :slap:

And I generally split my vote near 50/50... unless there is a Libertarian or Green i like. Not that it matters to you, you have already made up your mind on me.

Yes but you never told me who you voted for for president. I told you. The question is, how did I know without anyone telling me? You call yourself a conservative, but you back liberal ideologies. That is a contradiction in terms.

The cuteness continues!
When did I call myself a conservative? I'm an independent, there are more than just two options in the real world you know.:slap:

Shall we return to the OP?

There is no factual evidence of morals being a god given trait. It is something that you see among intelligent life frequently. Just because we coined our perceptions of right and wrong as 'morals' does not mean morality hasn't taken place elsewhere. Wolves are the animal I choose for this. There are several others, ranging from dolphins to most cat species, but I like wolves the most. (wolves are ******). Not only do wolves display large amounts of intelligence they also operate on morals within their packs. They have been known to share food among one another and develop bonds and take care of each others young. They don't do it because they have to, they certainly do not have to, they do it for their own purposes. Maybe in their minds they have a vague sense of what they might perceive as right or wrong. That sense is what holds them together as pack (I have no proof of that it's just an opinion of a wolf lover).

I should really cite my sources
buuuuuuut
I'm lazy
Find my proof yourselves.

Wolves are interesting and their pack systems are awesome (inner 5 year old activate).
I wish I could have a pet wolf, that would be cool af.

Anyways, I made my point.
Humans are not the only beings with moral structures.

Peace.
