OK. I will be serious here. It is a fact that those quoted are the ones most likely to get aids, I am sure that even you acknowledge that certain groups run much higher risks.

Day 1. Chimp discovers cured, smoked pork belly. Day 2. Chimp discovers fire. Hmm, coincidence?

Isn't it ironic? I'm fairly confident that the creationist retards who reject the theory of evolution have a lower IQ than this chimpanzee.

So since I am a creationist that believes in evolution I have an IQ higher than or equal to a chimpanzee? :)

I am pretty sure Gorillas and Orangutan are self aware too. Bonobos and Chimps certainly. What of Elephants? Seem to remember a study from a few years ago showing they had self awareness

I am sure that other animals have it as well, at least to some degree. Cats and dogs can see us as individuals as well as more or less abstract groups, like men and women. Don't you think they have any view of themselves at all?

Oh, yes, Orangutans, I forgot them, you are right, but I read about this many years ago. For Gorillas and Elephants I’m pretty sure, they were not mentioned, unless there is new development on the subject(the article I read was from about 10 years ago).

In the spirit you wrote that I give you my 5 I'll move on and concede the lounge to you. I used to really care about this place but now I've come to see it's just not worth caring about as much anymore. I used to like the discussion here which were always interesting and varied and intellectually stimulating but since the voting was implemented it's gone downhill steadily year after year. All the cool old timers I used to hang with here have been gone for years; I'm one of the last of the old timers really and that should have told me something a long time ago that I failed to realize until now. I do have better things to do and better choices for the kind of discussions I would like to have online and getting angry over something on the internet is easily one of the poorest ways to spend even a fraction of what little life we have. Cheers!

The chimps are the only other animals who possess a self-awareness (that’s why they have wars, and kill each other in this wars). Even the dolphins don’t have self-awareness. I think this is enough evidence that we share some common ancestors solely.

Actually I watched a show some time ago that stated Dolphins do have self awareness. They showed one male that had a mirror in his tank that was quite obviously looking in the mirror at his tail and back. he seemed to take special interest in the side that had some scars on it.
Let's face it, after Monday and Tuesday, even the calendar says WTF! Be careful which toes you step on today, they might be connected to the foot that kicks your butt tomorrow. You can't scare me, I have children.

We can both agree on that.

There is an alternative to that hypotheses however, it could be that you have changed.

Laudable goal. However "cancer" is not one disease. Aids is. Also possible that many types of cancer will not turn out to be something that one can just prevent with a shot. But Aids probably will be.

Your view is that that practice is the cause of wide spread Aids in Africa?
