What? You've never seen a picture of me before?

Well..., now I know it ;)

I don't want to be one of those people on forensic files. Those people always end up in jail ;)

Well..., my little guy (avatar) spills a lot of blood. Granted, it's his blood but it's blood just the same ;)

Well..., I just want people to realize that I'm tugging on their chain and to not take it seriously. ;)

Because there are no guarantee that I'm right and they are wrong.

Plus, it really doesn't matter.

Plus, I don't want to piss anyone off ;)

if i make everyone frnd then with whom can i debate. nothing personal, but to survive there must be competition

haha thanks ;]

Universally, nothing matters. But if we treat everything exactly like that, life would be pointless.

In all actuality, we want to have fun and feel good. But individualism insights that the lives of others don't matter too much.

How do I look now? :p

You have too much time on your hands. ._. If you want me to change it, just let me know. :)

Hmm..interesting. I still can't tell whether your avatar has blond hair, brown hair, or both if that helps any. :/

Thank you very much. I should manage to get myself an Okayish grade (Human communication blows... I hate that class) feel free to add me as an ally if you wish.

Thank you for your input on my topic. Though I know you had to chose one side or the other I do like the fact that your debate was... by all rights, rather unbiased and basically covered both yes and no. Again thank you for your information and thoughts.

LMAO...don't we all! I hate downvoting and I hate being downvoted too. It's insulting and uneccessary. Which debate were you on?

All of my allies are special because they have chosen me as an ally! :D

I almost never reject an ally request. ;)

Actually.... I don't think I ever have. lol

Hahahahah, no way, that's so exciting! I mean, how many other times in your life do you get to be on the top ten of anything, especially something as (theoretically) huge and accessible as a website? It's awesome!

Thanks so much for asking! It is absolutely and 100% certain that animals feel complex emotions. Jealousy, anger, joy, pain, sorrow... non-humans have exhibited all of these emotions and more. Here's the run-down on animals used for food:

As for whether they think, decide for yourself: http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8135000/8135844.stm

The leaderboard works off of how many debates you create and answer and it changes all the time. Your efficiency rating makes no difference there at all. It's not a silly question! Most people don't know how to get on there. So the rule of thumb is the more debates you answer the higher your chances of being on there are. ;-)

Joe Cavalry comes from the Peanuts cartoon. Remember, Snoopy is Joe Cool? Well, Sally was having trouble with her math homework and Charlie brown comes and helps her out. She's so delighted she just gushes all over her big brother who came to her rescue. Chuck turns to the audience and say, "Joe Cavalry" referring to himself. I appropriated the name in the mid 1980's because I would help people with their computers problems and they gushed all over me ;)

Hey, why not? You're new to the sight, right? I've been here only a little while and I've already made a few allies... and a couple of enemies. XP

Thanks...it's one of my favorite quotes

i did sorry about that

Thanks. It's my good side ;)

Thanks. :D I don't think I've mixed you up. I just get a bit confused, especially when people change their avatars. haha. I've always been better at names than faces...

If you've mixed us up it's not a problem. I know you're new here and sometimes names throw you off a bit. Good luck in your debates!

Thank you awen, accepted gladly!
