Maybe you should start a religion/fanatic thread so you can talk to folks who share your views. Mentioning religious stuff once or twice is not so bad, but you're getting a bit overbearing now and it's getting rather tiresome.
Sorry if I was the only one to challenge that question of unconditional love. Religion aside it is very true that parents have that unconditional love.... give me some credit where credit is due. Humans have more capacity for emotions whereas animals learn to trust. True, we can learn from watching animal behavior, but you can't give them all the credit. If you have more then one pet sometimes they treat each other as nasty as people treat each other. | |

| Are pets as important as people? Posted: 1/1/2006 2:52:32 PM | | You know I am so surprised this thread is still going,I have posted and posted on here,Once again I love animals are they as important as human beings no never,yes I am a christian,and yes in my religion humans are supposed to be more important to us than a animal,but lets put that aside and try out some common sense here,if any of you have kids and a guy with a gun came up and said its the dog or the kid I would sincerlly hope you could make the right decision and i hope your smart enough to choose the dog,if you don't have kids and think the dog replaces human love you have some serious issues and you need counseling,please go seek it.Once again I love animals | |

| Are pets as important as people? Posted: 1/1/2006 3:16:58 PM | I prefer animals to most people. I think dogs deserve to live longer than some people I know. Animals love is unconditional. People live longer than animals because it takes them that long to learn how to like, love and get along with people. Dogs dont have to live as long because they come into this world already knowing how to. | |

And do you suppose this came about by accident?
I agree joesch, it would be very sad to choose the pet instead of your natural born child. I know animals are a gift but people who view animals and humans the same way should at least guard their child much like a hen does her chicks. | |

If pets are as important as people who do you choose to save? That is the question.
Beg to differ, but that is NOT the question asked here. The question of the thread is: Are pets as important as people? It did not ask, 'who do you choose to save'. That's another question for you to ask when you start your own thread. | |

I challenge anyone to admit they have had that kind of unconditional love from a human being.
Very strong statement, perhaps too strong? That is unfortunate you have never felt unconditional love from more people rather then your pet.
Yes! It is a strong statement and I stand by it 100%. Please do not feel I am unfortunate in any way, at some point, in everyone's life, someone will say or do something to you that does not support "unconditional love". The raw, true meaning of "unconditional love"... humans don't possess it, although wouldn't it be a wonderful world if we did. Animals do possess this rare quality, and it is that, of which I was speaking. This has nothing to do with religion, therefore, I am not addressing that part of your post.  | |

Hmmm did you not have a mother who had unconditional love for you,I did I think maybe that is where some of you confused people are coming from and to be honest with you its very sad,but i assure you there are people who have unconditional love,like that I have for my kids,my brothers,even a couple of my friends who have been by my side threw thick and thin | |

Again....that was NOT the question...I will repeat (yet again) the OP's question. Are pets AS important as people...not MORE important. Really, no need to resort silly tatics, in trying to get one's point across...however feeble that point may be.  | |

Unconditional love is a myth. That is because humans are naturally self-biased and the human heart is so deceitful that one can fool himself into thinking that he is loving unconditionally, when in fact he has all kinds of conditions.
We were born knowing unconditional love. It is a gift, a birthright given to us from the very beginning. It’s the conditioning once our souls take on the human form that limits our belief in unconditional love. It’s erased and replaced by conditioned thoughts of the world. We learn our actions cause reactions. We learn that we are either good or bad. We learn What is acceptable and what is not. That becomes our point of reference, removing us far away from what we were born with.
So yes. My mother and father and siblings and friends and past loves have "loved" me. Just not as would fall under the true, raw meaning of unconditional love. But my pets always have. Thanks for asking.  | |

| Are pets as important as people? Posted: 1/1/2006 4:48:49 PM | | When expressing importance it is called placing a value. So all I did was rephrase the question. Since we have so many animal lovers here I would surely know people here would imitate the hen with how she cares for her chicks or in our case our children. In this regard humans have done a bad job with slaughtering countless babies with abortions. What is fixed in the brains of animals is indeed a good thing since they at least take care of their own family for the most part. Excluding the black widow spider and other small vermin. Humans need constant reminders to do what is good or to try and have common sense. But that does not mean people are any less important or as important then our pets. | |

I just posted you the true raw meaning.. you seem somewhat educated, are you unable to read or comprehend it? | |

Please ask logical questions if you must ask them. You know this scenario is flatout ridiculous and as such, deserves no answer at all. You are only asking in order to fight. | |

| Are pets as important as people? Posted: 1/1/2006 4:57:33 PM | well i have no children, and i live alone, so my pets are my children. Always there when i need a hug, never ask for anything, love me no matter how bad i look in the morning/or when im ill and they always know when ur ill and they never make you cry(unless they die...and they make my house feel lived in, aswell as the parrot that talks all the time.. in comparison to people- Id put my animals before any man- a pets for life and a boyfriends there as long as it suits him(or untill he strays) If ur saying people put their pets before their children, then id say they must be pretty weird- and i really dont think its a case of food for the kids or the animal-cos animals would eat the scraps if times were that hard. | |

| Are pets as important as people? Posted: 1/1/2006 5:00:35 PM | Well i was speaking to the angel girl or whatever she claims she is. She is a HUMAN BEING with feelings, thoughts and opinions just like you. Her choice in pictures for a dating site profile is hardly something to go after and has nothing to do with this thread. For the record, it's "bastardize" and I fail to see where it applies to anything in this thread. | |
