Should people who love animals more than humans be put down?

April 1st, 2012

I mean come on… they’d rather love an animal more than or even over their own kind?

They’d rather fight for an animal than their own kind?

Yes there is the "but some people suck at socialising"… true… but they can learn… and it’s not an excuse…

I know you are male but you are not a man. Men don’t threaten violence for the hell of it idiots do but credit where its due well done on not committing robberies anymore, that’s very big of you.

I think it’s funny how there’s all those guilt-inducing commercials about the injured and abused animals that everyone wants to fast-forward through because it’s too sad. The same idiots who tear up about that stuff then get made whenever any pro-(human)life commercials come on. I say let’s care for the baby humans before all else.

You shouldnt generalise people like that, some people prefer animals not because they have poor socialisation skills but it could be that they have lost all faith in humanity,therefore their weakness is not in forsaking humans for animals but perhaps a distorted view of humanity as a whole which has driven them to take up these views.

Of course, there are people who prefer animals because they can’t get along with other people, but I dont believe there are many of these individuals coz I havent met any.

Should people that are concerned with the fact that some people love animals be put down?

yes.

Yes they should just take them out back a shoot them.

Question on Human Evolution?

April 1st, 2012

I’ve recently had very great interest in human evolution and how we end up looking the way we do. I know that are ancestors originated from Africa and that through migrations to different continents/places we began to differ in looks and genetics. My question is however, if Native Americans came from Asia, how would they be darker than today’s Asians? And if it was due to heat then wouldn’t they have coiled hair like Africans because of the brain’s need to keep cool against harsh condition?

I think it was really just different diets and climate. You can see a slight progression of skin color as you go north to south america. The natives in the north around Canada and Alaska tend to have lighter skin and look almost identical to people in Siberia, but as you go south the skin gradually gets darker (or at least from my observations.)

And Native Americans came to America about 40-50 thousand years ago.

The theory that native americans came from asia is, I’m afraid, outdated and long disproved. We don’t share the right genetic markers with asians and are NOT related to them.It appears Native Americans have been in living in America for 50,000 years, just as we’ve always said.

This question covers a lot of ground. you could study anthropology and you still won’t have an answer. The only thing that is for sure is change. Genes mutate. This mutation changes the way people look within their environment.

Question about becoming an archaeologist?

April 1st, 2012

I have some questions about becoming an archaeologist.

What is the average salary for an archaeologist?
How many years of college does it take to get a PhD in archaeological anthropology?
Where is the best place to start an archaeology career?
What is the best college for archaeology?

Im looking to work in the field. Any information would be helpful.

TheBureau of Labor Statistics has all the information you are asking about.

Wages of anthropologists and archaeologists, geographers, and historians vary. Median annual wages for anthropologists and archaeologists were $53,910 in May 2008. The middle 50 percent earned between $39,200 and $70,980. The lowest 10 percent earned less than $32,150, and the highest 10 percent earned more than $89,490.

For a Ph.D expect 4 years to a BS, two years to a MS and 2 years or more to a Ph.D. You’ll also have field schools to attend. Most of your time will be in the lab, not outdoors.

Is there a gray area in human existence or is it all black and white?

April 1st, 2012

Humans Can See In Full Color I Don;t Know Where U Get That From, You May be Talking About Animals Because They Can See In Black And White And Gray.

I think we all choose unfortunately to live in the gray area.

How long has human beings been able to swim?

April 1st, 2012

when do you think we figured it out?

Ever since our fetal days!

I dont know but I am sure it happened in Europe before it happaned in Africa.

Water must of intrigued us so we ventured into it not knowing we’d drown and slowly started going in it more and naturally discovered if we kick an move our arms we could stay afloat

How many homo sapien fossils been discovered? Are we getting more homo sapien fossils than other hominids?

April 1st, 2012

We have a very limited amount of remains of more "primitive" hominid fossils, such as Australopithecus and Cro magnon. Do we have more remains of modern man than all of those primitive hominids combined?

Cro magnon are homo sapiens.Most homo sapiens bones aren’t going to be fossilized.There are probably thousands of times more Homo sapiens bones than other hominids combined.That probably applies to some catacombs alone.Ancient human fossils before 10000 years ago are fairly rare.Human bones are very common from the last few thousand years. There are very few hominid bones and the ones they have usually aren’t that complete.I don’t know if it is accurate but I have heard that you could fit all the ancient hominid fossils into the back of a truck.

Couses and consequences of migration.?

April 1st, 2012

It varies a lot.During the great depression, 1930′s, we hand a problem called the dust bowl.It destroyed a lot agriculture. This caused a lot of people to migrate from Oklahoma to California.The consequence was terrible-It lowered the average I.Q. of both states.

Threats of violence at work (KFC)?

April 1st, 2012

for the last 2 shifts I have been threatened at work by another employee, the manager has said he will take a statement but today I am off to the police station as the guy has threatened me none stop and openly and even said 5 times he is going to kill me with his car when he sees me outside of work. what should my management be doing?? thinking today I will not be going into work as fearing for my safety.

Sounds as though your Manager has had about as much Human Resources training as a teaspoon!

You have made an official and legitimate complaint against another employee.It is totally unacceptable to suggest that you will both be sacked without any investigation in to the issue.You work for KFC, they are a major employer and will almost certainly have an official grievance procedure.Ask your manager for a copy of the company’s grievance procedure for you to read through (you are entitled to this) and make sure you, and KFC, sick to it to the letter.

If they fire you for making an official grievance then you can take them to a tribunal for unfair dismissal.If it gets SO bad that you feel you have no option but to leave your job, then that is constructive dismissal and you can still take them to tribunal.

If what you say is true and I have no reason to doubt it, they should fire him immediately and report it to the police.I am not a lawyer but I think that would be making a terrorist threat.It really depends on the context but that is clearly not something to say to a fellow employee when you are angry.You might say it to a friend if he knew you weren’t serious.Even if you participated in it somehow and I am saying you did, he would need to get some serious counseling.If the company holds you responsible in any way you would probably be able to sue them for having an unsafe workplace.The company is likely very vulnerable.You probably would want to consult a lawyer if they don’t satisfy you quickly.

Edit to add, I am from the US so your laws may be totally different.

I’d wait until he goes to the toilet, follow him in there and when he’s otherwise occupied kick the shiit out of him, flush his head in the toilet and just lay down the law while force feeding him several buckets of chicken.Each piece he eats should be accompanied with a tooth rattling hard slap to the face.Make sure he see’s the whites of your eyes.:-)

Whatever country you are in it is your right to be free of threats of violence. i think making a report at you local police dept is the best way forward as does’nt sound like your employer taking it seriously.It is gross misconduct and he should be fired!

If you can get a witness statement

You haven’t really gave us any info we can make a basis to help you. Like if he thinks he has a reason to threaten you etc.

It’s that damn chicken

What is the goal of the human race?

April 1st, 2012

The goal of the human race is to be a human race. And, obviously, that’s me being an atheist or at the very least an agnostic, so I therefore reject some divine meaning of life. Try on Dr Dawkins’ book "The Selfish Gene" for one take on this.

To be and to stay the human race. Goal does not seem to be the appropriate word for it. We have no purpose, no goal as a race. We just are. As a race we stay because we have kids.

Knowing this should not keep you from setting yourself goals in life, from doing things right, from doing the right things, from having fun, from learning.

Using global annihilation as a method to change our ways.

The need to change ourselves in what it means to be human, and our goals being human occurs when we are about to commit global annihilation of the human race.Then we step back, and realise that this is a moment for change.

This is a philosophical one. Also biological for some, as well as religious for others (myself).

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meaning_of_??

For me it’s not just about the material but also getting to the other side.

To survive.So at some point, we have to get off this planet and get to one orbiting another star.We probably have about a half a billion years to do it, so no rush.

To reproduce win be dominant and get as many female mates as possible. od course there is so much more but you should have rephrased your question better.

To reproduce, like a virus.

Our goal is to be extinct.

To Earn Money

To live as stress free as possible.

(Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland are about the same give or take an inch)

Netherlands – Males – 6′ 1" (!)

Norway – Males – 5′ 11"

Denmark – Males – 5′ 11"

Germany – Males – 5′ 10"/5′ 11"

Austria – Males – 5′ 10 1/2"

Finland – Males – 5′ 10"

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_height#Average_height_around_the_world

What makes us the shortest Germanics in Northern Europe?

Genetics, diet and lifestyle

Crappy, unhealthy food
