Joph broke the system. You could rate him up or down to your hearts content and it would be like a teeny tiny drop of water amongst a raging ocean.

Posted: Apr 27 2011 at 5:21 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I'm not sure what you're attempting to disprove. Unless two animals are completely the same, you can not assume one thing naturally occurring in one animal is also natural occurring in the other animal.
Actually the only thing I ignored was you banging on about blind animals like it was relevant to the discussion.

Well, that's where you're wrong. Take it up with the ethologists, I guess.

Posted: Apr 27 2011 at 5:35 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) No need to. If EVERYTHING were the same, then they would be the same animal. You don't need to be an ethologist to know that. Obviously there are some difference. Just like in my example, a house cat can not run as fast a cheetah. A gold fish can not be as vicious as sharks. There are distinct differences between a wolf and a dog. Likewise, there are distinct differences between apes and humans. If there weren't, then how could we have "evolved" from apes if nothing evolved?
That's deep, man.
Of course I said you would explore the chance that this was a shared behavior for that family, not that everything was a carbon copy. But go on with your bad self :D

You not grasping simple **** like this is why people insist you are an idiot. No, I will not try to help explain the point, because two people have done so succinctly and you still haven't gotten it. You are hopeless.

Posted: Apr 27 2011 at 5:54 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) I don't deny that traits and behaviors are shared. That's probably why animals are grouped in families in the first place, based on their shared behaviors. My point is, you just can't pick and choose traits to simply support your argument. Therefore, it is a horrible argument to say "Well, it naturally occurs in nature, so it's natural in humans". I'm not denying that it IS natural in humans, but not because apes do it. We are two different forms of life.
#335Almalieque,
Posted: Apr 27 2011 at 5:57 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Then why bother posting? You know I'm going to respond. Unless you can show me how two animals are the exact same thing, you can't pick and choose which traits are natural for humans and which ones aren't based solely off the animal and not the human. It simply doesn't work that way and if you can't grasp that concept, then you my friend are the oblivious idiot, not I.

Actually you practically ignored an entire post. The blindness point is not only irrelevant but the entire argument. You either a) know that so you avoided it or b) afraid of saying something that might contradict yourself because you're not sure where I'm going with it.

A list of modern day Great Ape genera (so you may understand what I'm talking about):
Homonoid - Humans
Pan - Chimpanzee
Gorilla - Gorilla
Pongo - Orang-Utan
These are our closest living cousins. Common ancestry. These are the most recent divergences. Humans still display behaviours which are exhibited by all three of these genera. Including homosexuality.

I always thought the groupings were based on genetics...learn something new everyday.

Aren't you forgetting Bonobos, which I believe are our closest cousins.

Posted: Apr 27 2011 at 6:14 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) So by "everyone" do you mean yourself, Nilatai and Ugly? You sure are talking for a lot of people. I'm sure that there are at least 3 lurkers who agree that while humans may share the same traits as certain animals, you can not claim that a certain trait IS natural in humans because it's natural in that animal. The trait being natural in humans revolves around it being natural with humans. The fact that it may be natural with some other random animal is just a nice tidbit fact to know. I'm not denying that there may be a connection, but that connection doesn't justify it being natural.
Coccyx are natural in all primates, including humans.

Apologies for any confusion.
Now, Alma, I'm not sure exactly what you think your question implies. If I follow your logical pathway, you're saying that just because other species, including our closest cousins, exhibit homosexual behaviour this does not mean it is natural in humans. Is that what you're saying?
Anyway, back to your brilliant blindness question.

You seem to have this notion that Humans are the only animals which display homosexuality. Or are the only animals who exhibit sexual intercourse for reasons other than breeding.
To which you replied:
You wrote:
Nope. Not at all, nor does it change anything. Animals can be blind as well. Does that change your opinion on blindness?
No, it doesn't. You're right, animals can be blind as well as humans can. This...proves that...there's a natural explanation for blindness?
Nah you've completely lost me, sorry.

I actually went and read about them right after I posted that. I had read a little about Bonobos before, and at that time were unaware that they weren't their own species. Percentage-wise they fall in line with common chimpanzees with less than a .4 % variance.

Thanks Alma. That entire response to me was an excellent example of how you're an idiot.

That wasn't the point of my blindness question, but that was CLOSE to the point I was making. My point in your statement was in reference to ANY natural trait. A human natural trait is defined by humans and humans only. It doesn't matter if that same trait is or isn't natural in animals.

If your opinion of blindness didn't change after you realized (at one point of time) that it happened in animals and is completely natural, then why does it even matter if it's natural or not? You provided the fact of homosexuality occurring in nature as if it makes a difference. Rape occurs in nature too, does that change your opinion of rape?
The point I was trying to make to you that was that whether something naturally happens does not and/or should not change your opinion on anything. I'm sure MOST things(to include diseases, handicaps, etc.) happen naturally. The fact that homosexuality may occur naturally should not have any effect on your opinion on homosexuality just like it shouldn't with blindness, rape, incest,etc. AND NO, I'M NOT COMPARING THEM TO HOMOSEXUALITY AS BEING THE SAME THING.
