| LeoNerd | They don't quite realise humans are a bit bigger than they are, and can't hide as easily :) |
| pif | a match made in heaven |
| Teratogen | I have four ferrets but Sweetheart is the only one who bites |
| overkordbaever | It's probably hard to raise the people to behave like that, but well, I hope that it's possible to teach the human to not be so egoistic |
| Teratogen | each ferret has its own personality totally diffeernt |
| overkordbaever | Na, gotta take a walk in the nice weather before the sun goes down and it's cold |
| nuba | overkordbaever: do you really believe you can change the animality in man by education ? |
| overkordbaever | nuba, Well, the behavior of man has changed a lot since we were cavemen ;) |
| nuba | we're just animals, only more sofisticated in our games, masked by culture and civilization overkordbaever: please show me where |
| jonsmith1982 | thats what seems to have happened already nuba |
| Teratogen | I have found the perfect alcohol for me: California ruby port. |
| nuba | afaik, we still compete for resources.. we still predate/slave other groups/clans/etc. |
| overkordbaever | nuba, that's true though anyway, gotta go outside and enjoy the nice weather while it lasts, bbl |
| jonsmith1982 | yeah it is a nice day today :) here in the UK anyway |
| Teratogen | UK has nice days? |
| xand | is it? too cold for my liking |
| jonsmith1982 | thanks to global warming :) |
| perlmonkey2 | nuba: haven't we created elaborate methods, philosophies and social constructs for handling problems that arise between different "tribes"? While wars still occur, aren't great swaths of the world currently at peace? Are there hundreds of millions of people living together without conflict? |
| Teratogen | usually it is fog, snow, or rain in UK I thought perlmonkey, take a deep breath |
| xand | there's a lot less snow in the UK than say the US there's hardly any snow here and it doesn't get nearly as cold |
| nuba | aren't there thousands or millions of insects living without conflict in a termite house? just cause there's a pattern and a language doesn't means we're not animals anymore |
| pif | we're not animals, only much worse |
| Teratogen | man is the animal who laughs |
| perlmonkey2 | I wasn't argueing that point, only that we are no longer "cavemen" and that we've changed quite a bit. |
| jonsmith1982 | through educating our selves |
| Teratogen | when an animal can "get" the punchline of a joke, and laugh at it, well then that animal will be "human" |
| pif | just watch a dragonfly hover |
| Teratogen | because that is what humans are |
| nuba | perlmonkey2: i dont argue that we're on longer "cavemen", but I think we're not as further from the caveman as we'd like to think we are. |
| Teratogen | that is the definition of human we laugh =) |
| nuba | monkeys laugh |
