And as for driving if that is your measure of 'being human' i pity your logic! If you go to New Guineau or to some of the more remote regions of Tibet you will discover communities of people who have yet to even see a car let alone drive it! They cannot drive. According to your above sentence they cannot be human!

Of course, they can drive. Give them a car and find out. I'm sure they could drive as well as you or I could the first time we got behind the wheel. And they can do calculus and trigonometry, too, if they have a teacher. And why are you so fascinated with chimpanzees having sex that you have to repeat it over and over. What are you, 12?

Actually, I found the chimp story interesting FWIW, and while his reply to the driving point was quite weak - as you pointed out - this hardly alters his basic point (and the previous statement he responded to was, indeed, profoundly ignorant).

I find it curious that people are jumping all over him in the first place. Geeez. Some of you people need to deal with your issues...

However, I do concur that having heard about the chimp issue once, I don't necessarily need to hear it another dozen times... ;^)

First of all i ma not at all interested in Chimp sex .....however the fact that the Bonobo sub-species engages in mannerisms that are extremely unorthodox in the animal kingdom (and i do not just mean their sexual behavior) is something i find interesting.

And the reason i wrote a lot about Bonobo sexual behavior is because this thread was about animals with gay behavior ....and the Bonobo is obiously an animal with gay traits!

As for the reason why i repeated it several times it is because people like Houmatt seem to be getting annoyed that i brought up the Bonobo and they claim it is 'pro-homosexual propaganda' on my part. Obviously i had to ask them what part was 'pro-homosexual propaganda' and thus references to Bonobo sex sprouted up.

Furthermore look at what Houmatt posted to me in post no. 30! I am a conservative ....however according to people like Houmatt i should ignore factual evidence if it does not argur well with some of the beliefs of the 'conservative amalgamation.'

Trust me, i only intended to post about the Bonobo once. However when i get accused of spreading 'pro-homosexual propaganda' i have to at the very least defend myself, and in the process stuff about the Bonobo gets mentioned again.
