Now you get some of your own medicine. Dancing bananas, rolling heads... that is what you have done to us.

And you expect to have a serious conversation?

About what pray tell?

I have a good idea about what you believe, you know what I believe.

We don't have much to say to each other because you just like to attack the messenger.... that is all you do.

Jeanniebean the truthful queen
sharing thoughts as food cuisine
helping those who aren’t obscene
to learn of love and not be mean

She praises all creation
with loving admiration
and offers help
for those who yelp
in anguished trepidation

But they can never see the light
they pull their sword prepared to fight
and claim to be a pious knight
that came to spread their sinful blight

But Jeannie paints a different view
of spirits loving all they do
in a life where love is not taboo
and every pathway’s true

delusional fantasies.

too funny

I’m feeling the need to chime in with the comment of excessive use of dancing banana and rolling heads....

Monkeys like bananas

hmmm?? you just might have proven evolution mirror, i cant argue with that -

Proof abounds that evolution is not yet complete.

Peeks in... screams like a chimp... then swings on the chandelier... runs around the room and jumps out the window.

I second that!

Chimps can be mean bastards also. They say they are the closest to human not only in certain physical respects as it relates to their genetic make-up but also in their demeanor and behavior as far as the primates are concerned.

Thats true

Has anyone here ever read that book "Ishmael" by Daniel Quinn just curious?

no i haven't but i did post I think to JB here recently about a show i saw on either science channel or discovery can't remember which of a look at chimps in the wild is was extremely brutal behavior and so manlike it was scary.

they filmed a scene where one chimp had done something wrong enough for the rest of the pack to actually chase him down and surround him and then kill him. The sad part was the look and sounds of sorrow the chimp was making evidentally knowing what was to take place and his end, it was a hellish scene to see animals behaving this way, it really made me stop and think more so than anything i've seen before or since.

I don't know what the chimp did to anger them but he payed for it with his life - they beat him to death and clubbed him. -

they also showed before that, how the pack hunted smaller monkeys for food and captured them and pulled them apart while they were still alive and were eating them just as casually as we would eat a chicken wing, again the look on the small monkeys face as it was being pulled limb from limb was so telling of life in the wild.

It turned me off of ever thinking of chimps as cute little diaper wearing loving babies as we see on tv programs, they may be the most vicious animals outside of man on this planet, i've never seen footage of any other animals ever gathering to murder one of their own as they did.

It was really life-telling cinema action, though it was hard to watch - i could not take my eyes off of it - such a revealing piece on chimps in the wild - never seen anything like it - if it ever comes on again ill get the name and channel.

I think I have seen something similar to that. I saw them hunting the smaller monkeys. They showed this diagram of how they did it exactly and kind of cornered the smaller monkeys up in the jungle canopy. It required about 4 males to do this. Very sophisticated! Then they use tools of course. Rocks to break things open and they will very gently remove all of the leaves from a branch and then use it to fish out ants to eat. So man and chimps both utilize tools in some respect. The rock is one thing but the branch they actually design themselves which is a much more involved thought process. And yes, they will brutally murder one another also. They have very elaborate family groups with cousins, uncles, aunts, grandparents and the like. Everyone knows who everyone else is and strangers are not welcome.

yep that was probably it - i caught it while surfing channels one day a year or so ago.

While response to Ishmael was mostly very positive, Quinn inspired a great deal of controversy with his claim (in The Story of B) that since population growth is a function of food supply, food aid to impoverished nations merely puts off and dramatically worsens a massive population-environment crisis.

Food and population control
A continual theme through B’s teachings is that population growth is dependent upon food production, with increases in food production leading to increases in population.

Quinn's thinking here should not to be confused with the ideas of Thomas Malthus, who made the prediction that population would outrun food supply. In Quinn's own words, "Malthus's warning was about the inevitable failure of totalitarian agriculture. My warning is about its continued success."[1] Quinn characterizes the Malthusian problem as "How are we going to FEED all these people?" and contrasts this with his own: "How are we going to stop PRODUCING all these people?
