... where'd you get 7? There are way more emotions than that. This was actually a good debate until you threw out the 7 number, kinda hinting that you had some preconceived notion which you were going to advertise like a pop-up ad on a cheep website that just blared 7 SENSES 7SENSES 7 SENSES 7SENSES 7 SENSES 7SENSES 7 SENSES 7SENSES 7 SENSES 7SENSES Over and over without considering a single other point. Despite all of that, I'm going to treat this like a normal-person debate. It's actually an interesting premise (minus the 7 assumption)... after all, do feelings not effect how we act? If you see for example, a baseball coming at you, you react to that. Well, we also react to emotion. I believe though that emotion is the result of outside, not the input which causes a reaction, making it a different category, though with some similar attributes. I'd say feelings are a combination of a number of things including senses, but not in itself a sense any more than the act of moving out of the way of a baseball coming at you is a "sense." Side: no....?

I believe it is not. Let us put this in a scenario of war since it there when all 5 senses are used simultaneously. 1. Sight would be used for seeing the enemy. 2. Smell would be used for testing food if it is still safe to consume. 3. Feeling would be used to sense the body for injuries. 4. Taste would be used when consuming food. 5. Hearing would be used in battle. Emotion cannot be used since war is all about kill or be killed. Plus one can see the emotion of a person by looking at him. Thought on the other hand is not a sense for it utilizes the information taken and processes it inside the brain. Senses are used to gather information. Thought is used to process it. Therefore they are not. Side: no....?
