(9,385 posts)As to the semantic circle-jerk up and down this thread, it shows the mentality you're referring to... reveling in sub-human identification as if that justifies some sort of license to be crude, or worse.
We make up a definition that humans are apes, and then insist that it's a fact. Ok, what-the-fuck-ever. Tell you what, when the other apes that we're related to develop their own space program and produce a writer on a level with Shakespeare, then it might have some relevance. Until then humans and apes are more different than alike, which is pretty much self-evident.
And I love how people always intentionally forget that at one time "science" insisted that the world was flat... which is to say that science is only "right" until the next discovery, which usually tends to prove that the previously believed science was wrong. There's still some science left to figure out today, so there's no need to act so absolute about it -- that in itself is stupid and unscientific imo.
Speaking of science, I've come up with a new hypothesis, that people become what they constantly look at. That is why those who constantly look at asses become an ass. I think it has possibilities.
