lol guys we were monkeys

[someotherguy]

Am I the only one sick of people putting slips in their conversations such as "It's just a highly evolved monkey full of himself." Or "It's just another monkey with a complex language".
I'm not debating evolution here, Just wondering how many people noticed a recent influx of people who say this on the escapist.

 

[SnootyEnglishman]

Yes i believe you are only one.

We didn't evolve from monkeys, just lesser humans, todays monkeys are as evolved as we are.

Erm...I live in a extremely religious and bigoted town...so I often state stuff about evolution, but I can see how it can get annoying.
Also, you are never the only one.

Yea, my bad. rephrased to say, how many people are noticing this?

 

[Redlin5_v1legacy]

I've never noticed that yet. Nope, not an issue for me.

[sub][sub][sub]*twitch* Please don't put "lol" in your thread titles. Also, mayhaps this would belong in the Religion/Political forum.[/sub][/sub][/sub]

You are, as a matter of fact the only person who thought "lol we were monkeys".

Who would've thought such a clever idea. And hell, I just hate those smart asses in everyday conversations who call themselves highly evolved monkeys full of themselves, I never seem to be able to make a bright enough responses to impress them, in fact, I'll go make a thread about it.

lol guys we share a common ancestor with monkeys. There fixed that for you.

 

[M-JN]

We share a common ancestor with everything if you go back a bit farther.

 

[teqrevisited]

I've not seen a single person say anything like that.

 

[Alon Shechter]

Why would something that is true annoy you?

This one isn't...

Uh.....You're kidding, right?

OT: I have never heard that. Anywhere. I mean, I see where you're coming from; it is pretty damn pretentious. But I haven't heard anyone say that. Ever.

 

[Drexlor]

It doesn't bother me as I have never noticed it.

 

[Guitarmasterx7]

I've never seen that on here. Also, that isn't even what the theory of evolution states.

 

[BlumiereBleck]

Yes i believe you are only one.

Snoot's got a point.

Technically, we weren't monkeys, but our ancestors were for many million years ago. If I recall, I found out that my mother, whom is a human, squeezed me out of her womb. And her mother did too, which is a human, and my grandmas mother was also a human, etc etc... In conclusion, we're aaaaall human.

It's like calling a hyena [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyenas] a dog-like cat. No one's really impressed by the wise-ass comment on it.

 

[XJ-0461]

I think this may be a rare case where you ARE the only one. I've not noticed any of that happening.

 

[GBlair88]

Yeh not something I've noticed either.

 

[TailstheHedgehog]

I've never seen it. Well, I've seen human beings that have mentally degenerated below the IQ of your average chimp, but I haven't actually noticed an increase in the insult, no...
