This statement takes mankind down to the level of animals that can't ignore instinct. If you repeatedly tell man that he is no better than an animal, he won't be. Most of us strive to be the best that we can be and acting on "animal urges" isn't part of that.
How silly.
Let's try an experiment: Don't eat for a week.
Easier: Don't watch your favorite television program ever again.
I never said mankind was no better than an animal, so your "argument" is worthless.
