so explain how they work then? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
many living organisms work without brains. consult books for more info. |

i believe it's something the farmers use to hold machines up. |
||||||||

|
|
hey, respect the farmers! farmer solidarity, now! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|
|
fuck the farmers. need more respect for the construction workers. fuckin' labourers... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
figures why I've never seen one. oh well, farmers are sweet, at least they can use books for something |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
they use books to dice their tomatoes. that being said, i'd hate to get a papercut from whichever books they're using! |

let me just say, we dissected starfish my freshman year of highschool in biology, and they were the most disgusting thing we had to deal with. they are filled with a green mush...it was revolting. |

man things function without brains take our government for example |

Brains didn't really develop until vertebrates really. Arthropods, and mollusks have nerve clumps, kind of like a brain, but more just a central bundle where all the nerves hook together, like our spinal cord. Scientists recently discovered fish's brains aren't capable of a cognitive level complex enough to feel pain even. It's okay to eat fish, because they don't have any feelings. |

on the contrary, i was on a fishing boat with my dad and some of his colleagues, and one of them caught a halibut, and he was trying to cut part of the halibut's gill to let all the blood out. grotesque, i know, but get this; the halibut's fins were abnormally braced, as if it were in great pain, which i assume it was. so perhaps fish (at least the halibut) can actually feel pain. |

|
|
it's called a reflex. kind of like blinking when something startles you. it doesn't require your cognitive awareness of it |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah hes right.. its just a reflex.. in response to the body of the fish getting cut open.. |
||||||||
|

well, i recently was dining in a resteraunt and it was one of those ones where you selct your own fish from an aquarium. So i selected this particularily juicey looking snapper and whent the chef went to scoop him out i clearly heard ç "Don´t you fucking throw me into no goddamn frying pan motherfucker. It hurts like a bastard and i´ll fucking choke you to death, sunshine!" i opted for veal instead |

well well.. . someones not keeping up with the news.. . apparently fish CAN feel pain.. . they been studying them more and have accertained that they indeed feel pain.. . why wouldnt they ? and on the subject of brains.. . I have heard of people that can live and function at normal to above normal intellect without an actual cerebrum.. . so it makes you wonder what the actual role of the brain really is.. . Im pretty sure its just an over glorified receiver. .. |
