DanKroh 11 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 Personally, I find it kind of sad that gay penguins in China have a better chance of becoming adoptive parents than gay human beings in some states in the U.S. Link to post Share on other sites

Trevorum 24 Posted December 18, 2008 Share Posted December 18, 2008 I always thought that since humans ARE animals (Homo sapiens, remember?) other, similar animals are excellent models for explaining human behavior. Or is that just another of those crazy notions they taught us in Anthropology 101? Link to post Share on other sites
eisely 13 Posted December 19, 2008 Author Share Posted December 19, 2008 How do we know that the instinct to engage in adoptive behavior by these male penguins is evidence of gayness? The article does not describe any other behavior that would be clearly homosexual. I don't know how hetrosexual penguin couples have sex, but unless these two male penguins tried to have sex with one another, I'm not at all sure that I would call the reported behavior gay.

evmori 11 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Let's see. Humans can think things through. Other animal rely on instinct without thought. Seems like a big difference to me! As different as night and day! Good song OGE! I always liked the Animals! Link to post Share on other sites
MichaelOA 10 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Penguins aren't mammals, so... I guess my question is, can they even have homosexual activities? [My dad has a Llama, we named it Tina (no joke, we seriously got a llama, it's creepy...)] Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of animals can think to greater or lesser degrees. Monkeys can understand and use money, and can communicate with sign language, leading to both prostitution and lying. Monkeys and elephants can recognize themselves in a mirror. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 Moreover, humans also have instincts. Link to post Share on other sites
Narraticong 15 Posted December 19, 2008 Share Posted December 19, 2008 I liked this thread a lot more before you guys started bickering. We do that enough in other threads. Lighten up, would ya? What cartoon character said "Penguins is practically chickens"? Link to post Share on other sites
