Abhorrant, apparently.............

I didn't want to get into this discussion quite this deeply, but I am in up to my ears now. You are all my friends and if I can't vent here, where can I?

We are really getting into philosophy and morals now......

I never even got my O Level in philosophy but I see myself as a philosophical person, but cannot put my thoughts across v well, so here are some points.

1) We are not animals. (Tucks her tail into her trousers!) We are living souls, we have the chance to do more in life than eat drink and shag.That is the answer to the meaning of life!!!!

2)Murderers and homosexuals - should they all be shot??????!!!!!! This is bizarre......
We all know murder is wrong.........it ends up with someone dead.

We also know that a lot of straight people have a problem with homosexuality, and some gay people have a problem with the idea of heterosexuality...........But nobody ends up dead, so live and let live!!

I'm going now........

No, no and no again. As i was writing late last night, I had the vague feeling that I wasnt communicating. 1) We ARE animals - we are just the bestest animals, 'cause we THINK. 2) Who said anything about shooting anyone? 3) Am I being misinterpreted, or am I reacting with an expectation of being misinterpreted? 4) Its not an air-conditioner air-conditioner, its an air-conditioner!!!

- I think we ARE animals and this idea that same sex doesn't happen in the animal world is false, but it doesn't spawn an identity in the animal world. It just happens and then everybody forgets because animals usually have short attention spans. Only humans label it and separate it and turn it into a lifestyle, especially the Judeo-Christian humans, the Romans and Greek didn't think anything of it and in the world of Islam, it is common for young men to go together until a bride is found for them. And now unfortunately I must go, must be to work! Have a lovely day everbody! (NT) -- spoot, 13:00:23 07/11/01 Wed
  - Gumtree, I get a bit over-defensive about these subjects, but I am not always sure what you are saying and not v good at expressing myself on the internet in a serious discussion. I think I should go back to joking about bees and jam and hoovers!! (NT) -- magenta, 13:10:57 07/11/01 Wed
    - But............we are unlike anmals in that we are capable of concious thought. Animals have feelings but cannot philosophise or mull things over like us humans. Animals basically eat and shag and that's it. We work eat and shag but are CAPABLE of more if we didn't have to work so damn hard..............

      - The shooting bit came from where you said murder is socially unacceptable, which is true, but I added that some people would say that transgenderism is too. (NT) -- magenta, going for a long lie down..........., 13:26:13 07/11/01 Wed
