Please don't say things like culture, social relations and moral values and the kinds that other primates also have...

No law...?  No religion...?  No beliefs...?  Say, I know what you're talking about; you're talking about life before culture!  Life as we lived it before language, before awareness, before consciousness!  In fact, the life of...baboons!  (oooh ooh ooh ahh ahh EEE EEE!)

I reference apes when I see hairy White guys on the beach here in Florida, but that has nothing to do with this, does it..lol.\n\nI think we need to make fun of ourselves.  We are so damn sensitive about stereotypes that unintelligent people put on us to make themselves feel better that it is crippling us as a race.  And making fun of ourselves might make us work toward doing something about the stereotypes that ARE true.

Have people ever considered that abiding by the rules of etiquette is not such a bad thing afterall? Like using capitals only when required, because dude, you're asking us a question here, and REQUESTING for an answer, so your best bet would be to be a little more nicer to us, maybe? Yeah, you should give that a go.\n\nHo hum...sheesh, I didn't mean to go rambling on like that, its just that I dont much fancy ALL CAPS. \nSo here you go:\n\n- If people evolved from apes, how come there are still apes?\n- If someone with a split personality threatens to commit suicide, is it a hostage situation?\n- Doesn't a lightening rod on top of a church show lack of faith?\n- Are children who act in R-rated movies allowed to see them?\n- Why do bullies ask, "What's your problem" ?\n- Why do we press harder on a remote when we know the batteries are flat?\n\n\nOh well, I dont think this is really what you're looking for, but its definitely thought provoking all the same!

U got a problem with monkeys?

sex with monkeys\n\nLegend, based on the fact that some monkeys carry a similar virus, but it is not the same virus, so that can't be the source.

I don't really think it's comparable because what may seem like common sense in one culture isn't in another, so to say one culture has more common sense than another is pretty much a biased point of view either way.

Yeah, you're completely right.  Christianity is poked fun at a lot, particularly since people came forward about sexual abuse.  I disagree with a lot of Catholic Church beliefs (mostly about women and homosexuals) In that sense, one can see that the Church has soem narrow-mindedness as well.  No one really knwos the answers to these types of questions, like why is it okay to make fun of white people or homosexuals?  You're just right and there's nothing to do about it except asking friends not to make such insensitive jokes.

It is one think to use a derrogatory term to describe a person...but it is another to call something what it is.  If I see a cat it's a cat not a feline-mammal.\nAmericans have offended people for so long, I guess they are finally tying to fix their screw up.  But they've ended up making the situation worse.

I reckon that any self-respecting monkey or gibbon would be most insulted by your question!

There are two issues here. \nFirst, these terms refer to different logical classes. \nThe classification system that we use is based on inclusive (nested) categories and in that sense, the logical class "ape" includes the logical class "gorilla".\nBut there's another aspect to this.\nThe term gorilla refers to the animals belonging to one species, Gorilla gorilla (with different subspecies). In this case, the common word has a taxonomic equivalent.\n\nOn the contrary, "ape" does not have an exact equivalent in terms of systematic groupings or clades. In a general sense, "apes" are understood as Old World monkeys that lack a tail. They would include the families Pongidae (orangutan), Hominidae (chimpanzee, gorilla, man) and Hylobatidae (gibbons). However, for other people, the gibbons are "lesser apes" and the Pongidae are "higher apes". Many would also exclude man from the apes. Thus, for the authors of "Planet of the Apes", only the "higher apes" were included in the definition! \nIn consequence, there is no taxonomical equivalent for the common term "ape". A similar thing happens with "monkeys", that is, other Primates that have a long tail, are generally medium-sized and arboreal (including macaques, baboons, guenons, capuchins, marmosets, etc). This is another term that does not correspond to the systematic arrangement but rather includes several taxons.

i think they do have a right to complain if it contains offencive language. what i don't agree with is sending people home for wearing crosses or getting rid of black jelly babies or my nephew having to sing "bar bar rainbow sheep" at nursery! PC gone mad!!

I would not think would be a correct generality.  Africa has the worse cases of widespread Aids in the world.  \n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/hi/english/static/in_depth/africa/2000/aids_in_africa/default.stm\n\nhttp://www.csmonitor.com/2004/1201/p06s01-woaf.html\n\nhttp://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/4052531.stm\n\nMost of this is contributed to sexual relations outside of marriage and with many partners.   (And that does not sound like "good moral values, to me)\n\nI think you can find kind, moral, polite, responsible men in any country and within any race... you just have to demand it and not take less.

"Now" was a poor way to start this ?, they have been mixing for as long as cultures have existed.  Welcome to human evolution.  All cultures have different values, and almost all cultures have individuals with the wisdom to see their own culture's disadvantages and other culture's advantages.

Non-muslmims (i.e. western countries) do this because they percieve the world through ethnocentric eyes, as does every culture around the world.  What seems different and wrong to one culture is the way of life and a central part of core values to another.  The unfortunate aspect is that many people do not realize that their view on life is not the one and only way, having been taught their whole life that their own culture is the only one that is right, therefore they don't respect any culture or person who may have different views.  It's sad that this exists but unfortunatley this is human nature.

Nothing. Except the people who don't want to accept that we are animals in the first place would probably even get madder.\n\n But since when does taxonomy have any effect on anything? It's just our attempt to organize the current life as we see it.
