Re: Any vegetarians/vegans on FFR?

I read about it in a book I rented from the library a while ago (so I don't have it to copy the passage from).

Just for kicks because this is the internet and all...

1) I know you're lying because no one reads books, nonetheless a book from a library.
2) More seriously, if you can't cite a source don't cite one at all. It makes this page look worse then most wikipedia articles.
3) Crap. I'm off topic. Let me hone it back in.

I think we should eat apes.

Just a little off-topic side note: apes don't learn sign language. I read about it in a book I rented from the library a while ago (so I don't have it to copy the passage from). It talked about a lot of experiments and how researchers would note whenever an ape made a sign, and they made long lists of signs... but these researchers didn't know ASL. When a deaf person watched the apes, they noted no signs at all. Sign languages are as linguistically deep as spoken languages, so pointing to yourself to mean "me" or to an object to mean "that" isn't really signing.

I apologize for making such a harsh (and untrue) example to support my point. I'm hoping that I didn't personally offend anyone.

Actually, it is sign. It isn't ASL, and nobody is expecting an ape to learn ASL, but it's sign language. Deaf people won't recognize what apes "speak" because they aren't speaking the SAME sign language. ASL is only one sign language, and there are as many sign languages as there are people who can make up some symbols to mean stuff.
