primate rights

1. I honestly don"t understand how your premise 1 connects to anything I just said I believe you"re basically just falling right into the palms of my hands. When you state, "Whether they can be taught those things, I do not know".." blah, blah, blah, you basically just answered my question. If you say humans are highly trained animals do you understand that we are completely different from the others? We are not wild life creatures as the rest. 2. If you don"t have evidence that is more likely for a human to commit a crime than a monkey please don"t state it. Thank you. 3. You"re misleading the whole point and running with something just to keep babbling. OK since you want to mislead my whole point of my premise 3 I meant, "IF A MONKEY WAS IN COURT FOR A MURDER AND THE LAWYER ASKED THEM SPECIFIC QUESTIONS COULD THEY HONESTLY AND POSSIBLY ANSWER IT IN A FULL COMPLEX SENTENCE OF AN ALIBI OR CALL OUT WITNESSES FOR THEMSELVES?! I THINK NOT. SO"the whole big paragraph was not worth the time. Next. 4. The only "similarity" that monkeys have closer to us human than the rest is genetics. So just because their genetics are closer to us doesn"t mean a thing. They still fall into the same category as any other animal. That"s like saying if a bear looked like us then they one step closer to being human. Absolutely absurd. 5. The fact that you only have "evidence" of one monkey name Koko rests my case. Ok so, you decided to use an example but I"m afraid to convince that a whole entire population of monkeys can do the same thing one was taught is once again absurd. That"s like saying that a human was taught to be a genius so the entire human population has the ability to be geniuses as well. You still haven"t proven that they can actually cook and read and write. When I use these things as an example I"m not talking about a stupid tiki hut of sticks and rocks, I"m talking about an actual monkey, in the house, with a cookbook, frying chicken and cooking macaroni without burning the house down. When I say read and write I mean actually intellectual words of the human dictionary not monkey talk that one human trainer can understand. 6. You"re trying to justify racism and like I mentioned before this debate has nothing to do with racism so please stop it. You"re wasting my time. If you wish to have a debate on racism next then so be it. 7. I wouldn"t have smart a just keep it pushing. 8. "You keep trying to hold monkeys and humans to a different standard for the same actions. " OF COURSE I AM. MONKEYS AND HUMAN AREN"T THE SAME. YOU SOUND NUTS GIRL. No, "people, no matter how bad, were not justly killed without a proper trial, but monkeys would have been shot on sight. If primates were given rights then they would be put to trial too." HOW COULD A PRIMATE GO TO TRIAL IF THEY DON"T EVEN HAVE THE PROPER ABILITY TO STAND UP FOR THEMSELVES AND HOLD A CASE? I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH, MONKEYS CANNOT BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR ACTIONS. IF THEY ALL COULD WALK AND TALK AND THINK AND COMM NUTICATE EFFECTIVELY TO ALL HUMAN KIND DON"T YOU THINK THEY WOULD"VE BEEN HAD HUAMN RIGHTS? GENTICS MAKES THEM NO CLOSER TO HUMANS THAN A CHILD TO HIS DEAD-BEAT DAD SO PLEASE SPARE ME. I don"t think you have logical evidence to support anything you"ve debated this long. All I seem to keep getting is opinion after opinion. Maybe you should read up on some more about monkeys because the only ones that you seem to think is around today is the commercial trained ones. Again, MONKEYS SHOULDN"T BE CONSIDERED HUMANS NOR HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS HUMANS.
