SNIP... I am unsure of what you are trying to say or where you are going with this. If I meant "Humanoids" or "Homosapiens" to include apes I would have said so. I meant "us" (you, me and every one else.) As far as I have seen every human has the same potential... (Every one of us is different but we all have the potential to be human!) BS you are American. That means you have a mixed heritage? Do you know your background? I know mine and even though I have a certain heritage and might "look" like I come from the uber race I just find it so sad that anyone would judge me based upon a few physical looks... Your arguement about "contaminated water" comes from a different thread so I can't really reply well to it here. (You know that this thread is different I hope?) As to asking "Es" (Esme).. I don't need to ask her anything as she is well capable of telling us exactly what she thinks. BrainSmashR do you have a French heritage? Maybe not. I was wondering if you might be part Indian or perhaps Portuguese by decent? I never imagined being humanoid meant I could be an ape. I know we are linked but there is a distinctive difference for me. If you feel you feel you are ape-like I can not help you BrainSmashR.. Sorry for being aggressive but you too own the right to be human even if you think you might be like an ape. I am so proud of all the humans who have created a world that I can live in. |

SNIPs... Oh Big Pants.. I am gulity too... I just followed the discussion.. I suspect I also went way off topic. Sorry :o( (f there is now a new (on topic) thread do you not think it prudent to ask the mods to lock this thread? - After all this seems to be a failed topic..) |

You haven't disappointed me at all. In fact, you've more or less reiterated what I've said all along AND kept me entertained in the process by trying to pretend that wasn't what you were doing. |

Sort of makes it absurd, and to a certain degree, downright dangerous, to continue trying to carve out an existence in that enviroment then, correct?
I live in Louisiana, buddy, If there's one thing we are NOT lacking, it's fresh water.
If you stick your hand in fire, it's going to burn. You learned not to do that because of the pain involved...the motivating factor behind your acquisition of that bit of knowledge. You get sick and/or your child dies, that's a motivating factor. Getting a stomach ache because you didn't wash your hands...not so motivating.
Not arguing with your reasoning here, simply stating that it's a poor comparison.
Of course not, but it certainly COULD solve the starvation problems. |

Your incorrect use of the term humanoid does not make your statement true or irrefutable.
Believing one has the potential and that individual actually demonstrating said potential are two completely different concepts.
I've traced parts of my family tree back to 1640
I am French and Irish, but don't let my "coloring" fool you either. I go to tanning beds and recently acquired a boat....spending lots of time in the real sun now too.
It's called a dictionary and it's specific purpose is to define terms.
Well your DNA sequence is 97% equal to that of a Chimpanzee. If that's a fact you can't accept, then I can't help you either. |

How could the worship of cows ever solve starvation problems? Maybe that isn't what you meant but it's what you said. (By the way, I'm nobody's buddy.) |

How could the worship of cows ever solve starvation problems? Maybe there's an overpopulation problem in Ghenna... ;) (After all, worship is fruit for the soul, not food for the stomach.) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

SNIPs... Don't worry cRunchy. Mark created a new thread for the on topic discussion he wanted, and, rather than lock this thread, was happy it took it's own direction unhindered. It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

SNIPs... Hey...I have always acknowledged the concept of 'thread drift'......... Sometimes you take off in one direction and it ends up taking you somewhere totally else...... If I had been offended, I would have stated so.....no problemo, my friends..... "Freedom is just Chaos, with better lighting." Alan Dean Foster |

like Jeffrey [snip] you choose to take sentences out of context and make little jokes... I never joke about the important things in life... ;) (As for the rest of the nonsense, humor is good for the soul.) It may not be 1984 but George Orwell sure did see the future . . . |

Havn't a clue Es. The thread drifted radically off Mark's original topic. Which Mark said it was OK not 6 posts below this one. That means, despite the title, there is NO TOPIC that is off topic in this thread. Or am I seeing something different to some? It's good to be back amongst friends and colleagues |

In the UK girls on average perform better educationally than boys, whatever their racial origin. Are we to think that girls have an inbuilt genetic advantage making them superior in this respect? Or are other factors involved? Yay, a race to the bottom! Let's skrew a bunch of girls just so's we can create some non-existent statistical equality on a piece of paper. What a smart plan.
