ROFL OMG, seriously? THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for yet again proving with out a shadow of a doubt that you are to innept, arrogant, ignorant, and out ride dumb! In what way do you think you know better then the thousands of DOCTORS that have spent there entire lives studying the science of the brain!
Here are some terms to google that helps support my point. (terms that I know you are to arrogant to ever consider looking up, thats a jab as well by the way.)
Brain science
R-complex
the Triune brain Model
Paul D Maclean
Forebrain
midbrain
hindbrain
Limbic System
The science of the limbic system is not some "crack pot theory" as your describing it and the fact that you're trying to argue against it is just more and more proof that you should not only not be aloud to have animals, but you shouldn't be aloud to have kids either. You are obviously to innept to care for anything but yourself and I pitty anything that relys on you in any way (theres another jab for you).
As far as my "infiriority complex" goes how can you even imply that such a thing exists in the same breath that you say (to summarize) the limbic system does not exist, being that the limbic system is what would handle the FEELING of infiriority? I believe your direct quote would be "So when you say snakes can't feel because they lack some sort of a 'system' I will take that with a grain of salt." What you're essentially saying in that quote is that you think that snakes have developed some magic section of the brain that controlls feelings with out actually having the section of the brain that DEVELOPES CONTROLLS AND RECOGNISES FEELINGS! Is this another part of your magic limbic ball python morph the one that talks, and tap dances?
Its a good thing that your to innept to take care of your pets! Now I wont feel bad when the scientists find out about this and come take your snake so they can study it.
To end this statement I'll quote WesleyTF because he delivered it so elequintly! "STOP ANTHROPOMORPHIZING YOUR ANIMALS."
theres another word for you to google because I'll garantee you have no idea what it means either.... theres another jab for you.
Edit : I'd also like to take a second and thank WesleyTF for touching on a subject that I really can not argue about with out offending everyone on the board.Thanks welsey for explaining something I didn't want to.
