"QOD: Do you consider yourself to be an Animal or a Human?"


          

And for those that say humans are animals that's just one line of thinking, because there is a debate for the contrary.

But let's discuss.

your choice of topics pretty much always guarantee a polar response, i don't know if you plan this out or if it comes naturally, but to answer your question, human beings are definitely not animals.

Only organisms which paired with fungi survived the ELE. Without the FUNGI all life would be lost. I did not phrase my statement correctly, and I corrected it in the same post. I guess you chose to ignore my correction so that you could harp on some trivial and irrelevant point you are trying to make in this post.

Like I said. Drop the logical fallacies and try again.

In response to Reply # 25


  

          

You haven't made any argument. So... I can't attack an argument that hasn't been made.

But you post like you're 19 and do a lot of drugs. So while that may seem like an attack, I don't mean it as such.
I'd like to know if this is true so I can respond accordingly to your future posts.
Am I off base here?

You went after me(my age) after I expressed that what you said is not science. Don't play dumb.

Thanks for proving my point, lol. You went after my age to attempt to undermine any argument I made or would make, and you indicated that by pulling an old unrelated example(slippery slope) which I clarified for you.

I was 2 steps ahead the whole time. Sorry bro, try again.

whatever you say.

I'll go ahead and treat all your posts as if you're the 19 year old burn out that you seem to be.


Also, nice move defining "ad hominem" in the exact same way I did as if I'd said something different.

You forgot to include character traits. If you actually knew what it meant you wouldn't dispute that you were guilty of it.

The human is a composite being comprised of animal/mineral/plant matter/stardust etc...

The notion that we are somehow separate from animals does not compute.

You do know that all of what you names is considered matter. However matter can be formed and given purpose as well as being. But I'm going to let you cook and you can call me a SUN because I shine like one. Or Star Lord.

I don't disagree with you. I believe we are all one great energy, etc., however, for the sake of debate, it is fun to look at distinctions. As a purely socciological study, human beings do not act like animals at all.

That's not true and in many ways human behavior is beneath that of an animal

which is a kind of animal.

So yes.

I also happen to enjoy music, and art, and food, and learning, and kindness to my fellow beings (particularly the humans, but also my more distant relatives). Many of my traits are more common in humans than in other animals, others are more universal. The same could be said for any other kind of animal.

In response to Reply # 0


          

There is no definitive evolutionary linkage between humans and animals? Yes all life share the same material compositions, but that doesn't mean all life is in the same category. In fact, we share the same material base composition with a banana, but an ape is not an orange, and an apple is not a rock.

So, again, who decided that humans are animals. Shoot, we behave more like a virus, but that's a silly argument - don't you think?

56. "What?"
In response to Reply # 46


          

>There is no definitive evolutionary linkage between humans
>and animals?

I'm not sure if that question mark was intentional or not, but there is most definitely an evolutionary linkage between humans and critters that you would definitely call animals. Chimpanzees to name just one. This is not the tiniest bit controversial.

>Yes all life share the same material
>compositions, but that doesn't mean all life is in the same
>category.

That's a problem with categories, people can choose to define the categories however they like. But the fact that we share a common ancestor with "animals" is not in dispute.

>In fact, we share the same material base composition
>with a banana,

We're related to bananas, too. More distantly though.

>but an ape is not an orange,

Indeed, but apes and oranges are both organisms. (Or more precisely an orange tree is an organism.)

>and an apple is
>not a rock.

Correct again, but apples and rocks are both material objects. They're both made from the same "starstuff", so there's a connection there, too.

>So, again, who decided that humans are animals.

Biologists defined the taxonomical "kingdom" called Animalia, and it's simply a fact that we, as well as apes, tigers, dolphins, snakes, panda bears, we all happen to satisfy the necessary conditions to fit that taxonomical classification. It's not that big a deal.

>Shoot, we
>behave more like a virus, but that's a silly argument - don't
>you think?

We behave in some ways like a virus, in other ways not. Viruses behave in some ways like bacteria, in other ways like oranges, in other ways like people, and in other ways like rocks. Isn't Biology fascinating?

In response to Reply # 49


  

          

Killer Whales for example have a complex language that varies widely from family group to family group (pods). They're different enough that scientists describe them as dialects and can distinguish them by ear.

Monkey language is complex enough that they lie to each other. It's recently been discovered that they have grammar and the prefixes and suffixes on "words" enhance their meaning.

for his argument in that anal post. Like... I'm not even sure what point
dude was even trying to make either, but people use animals (ducks, dogs,
cats, etc) to explain or justify their actions as humans... which makes
absolutely no sense, because we ain't dogs and ducks. I don't see niggas
eating dead rats without cooking them because a cat did it. Foh comparing
your actions to those of damn cats n dogs, lol.
Even if you subscribe to the idea of us being animals, you have to cop
to the fact that our reasoning and judgment is one of the things that
separates us from pigs. Smh.

It's possible for something to belong to several categories.

I am a Human, a male, an Englishman, a Caucasian, a Mammal, an Animal, an object.. even a habitat for other organisms.

I don't see why anyone would need to introduce any sort of mutual exclusivity to this.
