We're careening wildly off-topic so this will be my last post on the subject. If you care to discuss species further we can do so in a new thread.
Regarding your comment that species do not breed together you are incorrect
I'm going to stick with the definition of species used by biologists, thank you. Here it is summarized by Mayr:
quote:
"... a reproductive community of populations (reproductively isolated from others) that occupies a specific niche in nature."
Now, unless you're a member of a reproductive community of non-humans that occupies a specific ecological niche, you're not a different species. Sorry, but you don't get to be a species all by yourself.
and it takes an expert to be able to tell that they are not.
And you know what those experts look for to tell? Whether or not the birds consititute a reproductive community.
you argued with me at first loudly and rudely
Look, your behavior in this thread is a matter of public record. You responded to a simple request to substantiate your claims with petty, childish insults and charges of sexism. Don't try to cover that up by telling me I'm the rude one, ok? And what should I have done to be less "loud"? Used a smaller font size?
and automatically jumped to the conclusion that I am a liar or something other to that effect- without having taking really any time to investigate further to find out if that reaction was warrented.
Asking you to substantiate your claims was the investigation. After all how else am I supposed to research claims you make about yourself?
Look, as for the rest of what you've written, I'm not even going to touch it. It's obvious that you're the survior of some kind of trauma. How about getting some help for that instead of jumping down the throats of anybody that doesn't immediately agree with you? You know, like some therapy?
You need to be talking to someone who can help you with your intimacy issues and need to blame other people for your problems, not with folks on the internet, ok?

here's a novel thought- try taking what I say about my abilities at face value and MOVE ON.
So do you mean to say I am imagining my diet? Oh- let me guess- being a carnivore is a healthy human diet!!!
And you can tell when a potential partner has an impulse control problem just by looking at them, can't you- OF COURSE YOU CAN! It's something all humans can do!
Ever formed a telapathic bond with a cat? OF COURSE YOU HAVE! It's something all humans can do isn't it, eh?
And yes, I am making fun of you. So move on.

Yep, we'll move on. This thread is so far off topic its in another solar system.
Closing it down. Bring complaints to To Fast Closure of Threads
jme, Just for future reference, on this forum when you make a claim and others ask for supporting evidence it is policy to provide it. Your say so isn't evidence.
Pleas read the Forum Guidelines.

regarding your comments about my remarks about what defines a species or not- quit trying to kill the messenger. These are things other people have done and come up with, so if you want to argue about the validity of that- take it up with them. I'm not going to debate about it with you because I shouldn't have to. My comments stand as is, and if you have a problem with it- take it up with the larger scientific community.

umm- regarding providing proof- technically speaking that means that everyone else in here also needs to shut their hole because no one is providing proof about anything they talk about in here anyways. This isn't a scientific journal, so if proof is what you require, thus ends the forum because no one else can provide any proof about anything anywas. You're just mad because you're threatened by the fact that the human race may no longer be top dog on this garbage dump of a planet we all inhabit, and working under the mistaken impression that if you argue enough, you can bend me to your will. An endeavor, I might add, you have yet to succeed at.
