indeed...rather suprising that you see it that way...but true enough
"I don't have to prove YOU anything."
i would agree with you here, if it wasnt so obvious by your repeated responses that you feel you do...so does this mean that i feel I have something to prove by also responding repeatedly? perhaps, though for me this is just practice...we dont mean nearly enough to each other to make this a battle, just a good sparing match, which i, for one, needed...i speant way too long turning away from every fight that came my way, and i chose to push this with you because i knew you'd be a more than worthy opponent...
"I appreciate the condescending admission that i have 'some degree of merit.'"
just as i imagine tempest0402 appreciated the equaly condescending remarks about being a "drama queen", or the outright insult of "whiney nerd"...i'm not one to rehash age-old sayings like "don't dish it out if you can't take it"...but..."if the shoe fits"
And as far as the distinction between "more than" and "very smart" in reference to the animals....physiology agrees with you...philosophy doesnt...simply because animals, to the best of our knowledge, do not philosophize....so does that make us more than...perhaps not...until i make a more rational arguement for it, i will detract this statement...
