MrMoran Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Show me a dog that's produced a novel, or a song or a work of art and I'll happily concede the point. :hihi: Weak! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (ME) SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC: I read an article recently about how sets of dolphins in two tanks who couldn't see each other were shown coloured boxes all with food in. After the first one was allowed to check the boxes out, they communicated which was the best box to the other, and they virtually always went for that one first. Dolphins are very intelligent creatures and have developed language sets Yes they are, if it were up to me they (and other cetaceans) would not be allowed to be held in captivity. which can be used to communicate philosophical concepts.I'm not sure it goes that far. Saying 'Oi Dave, there's food in the red box' isn't quite 'I think, therefore I am' is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halibut Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm glad to see your as biased as ever. We'll see you defending rapists and terrorists next... oh, we already have! No you haven't. Quote anything I've ever written which illustrates the claim you're making. If you're unable to do so, you are self evidently making it up.

flamingjimmy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 It’s not about sufferingNope, that's exactly what its about for me. To argue that plankton is more worthy of protection than you or me is laughable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooky3 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 No you haven't. Quote anything I've ever written which illustrates the claim you're making. If you're unable to do so, you are self evidently making it up. I just watch the things you defend and those you condemn. The pattern is self evident as many are already aware on here! You may not say certain things outright, but in your actions lies the truth! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Erikson Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Nope, that's exactly what its about for me. To argue that plankton is more worthy of protection than you or me is laughable. The planet might think otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flamingjimmy Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Where's Mel The Bel, he should be here making sure people aren't tarring all Americans with the same brush... or does he only do that for certain groups! Who has said anything about Americans? I think you're the first person to use the word. No-one has been tarring all Americans with the same brush. As ridiculous as Mel can be sometimes, you've got no grounds for calling him out on this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spooky3 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Saying 'Oi Dave, there's food in the red box' isn't quite 'I think, therefore I am' is it? Not that example no, but other tests do yes. Tests for self preservation and group leadership for instance can prove such things. Even the (not with dolphins probably) smudge on your face in the mirror test is about self awareness.
