So today at the bank................

I think RR has a very childish utopia view of herbivores. They are cute so they never attack. 

I once was walking through a horse ranch, with sectioned fields that had nothing but rope for fence. I spotted a foal, and went up to the rope and started talking to it cute. Out of nowhere I here this very loud WHINNNEY, looked past the foal off in the distance and the mother was saying, "GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM MY KID"

Now ask me if I stuck around?  Pretty is a myth with life. Sure it is nice too look at, but nice to look at does not equate to always placid or always safe.

Cut the crap.

"God did it" that is your ultimate argument.

When life is pretty you fall for your emotions. When life is ugly, you chalk it up to "mystery", or we are his to do as he pleases. BOTH incoherent nonsense. 

The giraffe was not "designed" anymore than cancer or ecoli or cockroaches, and it's long nerve from ear to ear was mere evolution, not magic, not a sky wizard.

With those types of arguments I can see why you stick with the straw man in your head!

Good day.

All you have in the end is "God did it", so I really don't care how you want to slice your bologna sandwich.

"Good day", really dude? Should I expect a slap in the face with a white glove and duel with  musket pistols at 12 paces?

I really do get tired of biting my tongue. So my mom's financial adviser, now mine. Showed her my vacation pictures at Steve Erwin's zoo. We get to the pictures of the Giraffes, and she says, "Isn't it amazing how God made them so beautiful with their patterns and long necks?"

I wan't to shout, " NO YOU STUPID .......BEEP!"

Yea lady, it is amazing that they have a superfluously long nerve that goes from one ear, all the way down the neck then back up to the other ear. So much for a straight line being the shortest distance between two points. Isn't it great that bacteria and cockroaches outnumber humans and are far faster breeders?

Giraffes are pretty to look at sure, but no damned God had a thing to do with it. I am quite sure if you got too close to a male in the wild during musk it would stomp your ass to death.

The shortest distance from A to B.

Yeah, like why create an arm when you can dump your mouth straight onto the plate of food.  

The length of the nerves in the giraffe, serve as relational sensors between the head and the whole body. They don't just translate hearing, just like any part of the body has multipurposes.

Not because of a magic sky wizard. You really want me to believe some bearded man did that on purpose? Is that the measure of success? Why is it you don't think of cockroaches in the same way? The nerves serve multi purposes? Fine, then explain why cockroaches are far better breeders, if everything has a "purpose"?

Funny how humans can choke and die on food because we share the same eating breathing tube, whereas dolphins and whales don't have the same problem.

Nonsense. Life is not a product out of a factory made by a cosmic Willy Wonka with super powers.
