[QUOTE="I'm A Banana, post: 2204669, member: 2067"] (a) The ability for humans to personify things without proof that such things are people is HUGE. I'm a student of religion. People think the [I]weather[/I] is at least as smart as a wise old elder, and have thought that since the dawn of the ability to say "I wonder why it rains?" So should we have the same reaction about hitting a dog on the road as we have about hitting someone's toddler? I'd think that the cultures that eat dogs would tend to not agree. :p (b) How do you measure pride, exactly? Is there a formula? Can I run this test on my dad? :D [/QUOTE]
