Haha...
Should we let homosexuals vote? What about our pets? If I have a smart independent conservative monkey should he be allowed to vote? Why can't the monkey have the same rights we do? They are primates just like us!

Truth of the matter is... You know how different breed of dogs are blended in. Well we're one of those.

For example German shepherd + wolf = gerwolf

While the other one is, well, monkey + another type of monkey = Human.

Funny but true.

Moderator should moderate about now.  These last few topics are just pollution.

I'm sorry, but what is your problem? I did not break any forum rules or the rules of this particular board. This topic is legit and is in the right forum.

I do not scream for the moderator when I think you are posting "pollution" posts.

[/quote]Actually, we stem from the same ancestor as monkeys, however, we are not from monkeys.  Anyway, chimpanzees are our closest relatives I do believe, not monkeys

Serious discussions only please.

CrAz3D, yes. I should have said primates rather than monkeys.

But on a serious note (because I do respect Arta) should animals have rights and what rights should they have?

In this thread, you're subscribing to the theory of evolution. 

The argument runs much deeper than that.  We can't use the theory of evolution (OR of intelligent design) to change laws, because evolution is just an unproven theory.

I think animals should have the right to be treated humanely, by which I mean, they should have the right not to be treated cruelly.

[/quote]I thought we were just talking about letting monkeys vote.  When was a law going to change?

Gravity is still a theory.

Hmm, that's a good point.

Gravity obviously exists.  Here's proof *drops sandwich on ground*.  But what causes it isn't known. 

Evolution, from what I understand, hasn't been (conclusively) proven to exist. 

Of course, neither has motion, or many of the major physics things I've learned. 

I'm thinking now, how can ID people use "evolution is just a theory" to win arguments, when almost everything else in science also is?
