John Kerry voted for the war before he voted against it, which proves humans are too intelligent to have evolved from monkeys.

maybe monkeys are too intelligent to have humans evolve from them.

No, the other way is less logical and therefore better.

well do you see monkeys making the same mistakes humans make. You say homosexuality is a sin, but there are less gay monkeys than humans and therefore in your opinion, the monkeys are too smart to be homosexual. Also, do you see the monkeys building weapons that could wipe out their entire race? no...they're smart enough to not kill their entire species. Do they pollute the earth to the point where they have no more resources? nope....all those things are things that stupid humans do, yet monkeys don't! it was a smart choice for monkeys to not do them, and we are therefore stupider than monkeys. Yes, monkeys are more simplistic, and if evolution happened, humans probably came later. However, I still think if the world was dominated by monkeys, we would be much smarter.

On monkeys: ...Planet of the Apes.
On a completely random and irrelevant note: Rocks are smarter then people.

Well, I'd say that rocks are smarter than some people.....like George Dubya...

You go through that whole rant with all the things that humans do and monkeys don't, but operate under the assumption that such things are intrinsically bad. Tell me, how do you justify such a postion under postmodernism?

Homosexuals sin just as much as everybody else. What makes it so bad is that they don't repent for that sin. If they don't repent for that sin, then there is no hope for heaven.

You believe in not legislating morality for one. That is a moral of yours.

Actually worlin, legislating morality isn't moral at all. It's functional, and nessicary. If it wasn't, someone would have killed you by now. We have decided killing is bad. So is theft, and adultry, lying etc...Not because there is some actual good and bad, but because if we didn't, society wouldn't function nearly as smoothly. It's just a truth those who believe in god can't swallow. So no worlin, it's not a moral, it's a necissary precaution. Otherwise, we might as well give up the war on terror, and let extremists do whatever they want, because WE certainly couldn't legislate anything, that might have moral implications.
JerOD, for once, take the time, to image that life more fulfilling than a token performance, imagine that one could, yes even would, think beyond what they're told.

That maybe true for you, Swanson, but for the naive such as Maymer, it's a moral value because such people cannot wrap their heads around the concept of morals being completly worthless and arbitrary. You regard it as an element of functionality, but the vast majority of postmodernism believes there is an intricic moral working to the universe, even if there is no good reason why. She keeps insisting that it is wrong to legislate morality; she's an idealist, not a pragmatist.

If you think there are less threads here, you're partially right. I moved them to other forums and deleated their old links here.

Of course not, you're a figment of Mr. Hetfeld's imagination.

Didn't Swanson say something about Hetfeld finally encountering some kid who was so annoying that he couldn't possibly be part of his imagination?

Yes, but that doesn't affect your status as the product of random neurons firing in his brain.
