I just said I knew that. What the hell are you getting at? Please, don’t even. LOL, it’s ironic how I’m saying all this stuff and yet you choose to support why I don’t like the idea.</p>
<p>@Hal
It’s weird and just the thought of being related to the person you hate the most and all the other people I don’t like just annoys me.</p>
<p>
It’s a bad idea to refuse to believe something just because you hate the idea. We all don’t like stuff but that doesn’t mean we can’t just not believe it.</p>
<p>I just think you’re acting a bit immature. You basically fought against the idea the majority of the thread and then admitted that you actually believed it was true, but didn’t like the idea. </p>
<p>All I’m saying is that it was unnecessary to try and debate this idea if you knew it to be true, just because you didn’t like it. That’s why I’m saying that your opinion is irrelevant. There was no need for all of your drama. It’s a fact.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You don’t have to accept “all people are related” for this to be an issue…plenty of people hate their parents.</p>
<p>Why did I even read this thread. Now the idea that we’re all related is gonna be stuck in my head. I hope short term memory loss kicks in. Lol, jk.</p>
<p>@Hal
That’s true. It’s just really weird despite the fact that we’re.</p>

But the funny thing is, who told YOU to respond? LOL, sure wasn’t me. You pick and choose your battles. Yeah, um I really don’t know who told you to say that but don’t try putting that on me. Take responsibility for your actions, learn your place and just accept the fact that everyone is different and views aren’t always by the unanimous.</p>
<p>P.S.
It’s called constructive criticism too. Nooooooobody was debating anything. I said I dont believe while reticence hid the fact that i already knew it was true. I never said, “OH! Hes a liar because we all look different” No, i was actually referring to Yakisoba who said we were ALL related. A majority of us are. The guy said 1/50. Some things are hard to believe. Get your facts straight honey bunches.</p>
<p>I can’t believe I’m related to ScienceKid99…</p>
<p>Neither can I.</p>
<p>Dude, you need to chill out. I don’t know why the fact that 1000+ year ago you might have had a common ancestor with someone creeps you out. But, okay, that’s your view. You think it’s weird. But that doesn’t mean it’s not true (which is what you were claiming at the beginning of the thread). All I was saying was that it was true. My goodness.</p>
<p>I think you’re acting a bit immaturely. This is CC, where we discuss and debate all the time. And obviously, a thread with evolutionary nuances is going to contain that. When you’re debating on a scientific topic (and you’re the one who was debating; everyone else was in accordance), you don’t reject a scientific idea because you don’t like it or it creeps you out. That’s all I’m saying. </p>
<p>Plus there’s a difference between accepting views on a topic like gay rights. But for something that has been scientifically proven, you can’t just reject it because you don’t like it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>This is a thread on a forum. Generally, people tend to reply to posts. I didn’t know I had to be told to respond to a post, but okay.</p>
<p>I can’t even comprehend what half of your message is based off of. It’s a discussion on an online forum not a hallway conversation in pushed myself into.</p>
<p>Well this is kinda funny.</p>
<p>Honey bunches. Must I really spell out everything? I was correcting someone at the time, by you saying something that I had already admitted to was incredibly superfluous and there was no point. Furthermore, there’s a difference between not believing something and still knowing the truth and knowing the truth and still trying to refute it. Did you watch the video? Lol, obviously not. Didn’t I say I was responding/correcting Yakisoba? Umm yeah, I think I did. Look honey bunches, you need to get your facts together before you start talking because you start looking stupid. Ok? Thanks! 
This is why you can’t comprehend anything because you insist on surmising everything. Lol, please.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>You can’t believe you’re related to yourself?</p>
<p>Yes. I can’t believe it. Lol.</p>
<p>Please, Repede, please. I could really use one of your sarcastic comments right now. I’m not used to dealing w/ this type of immaturity (i.e. stupidity).</p>
<p>It’s only deemed as immature because your incompetence has lead you to misinterpret the situation, thus becoming nothing more than a vacuous individual who knows nothing of which they speak. Lol, you speak of stupidity? You exemplify it’s sole definition.</p>
<p>Okay, I’ll look at this as both an aspiring philosopher and an aspiring molecular biologist.
Firstly, we must define “related” if we are to have an meaningful discourse. By “related” do we refer to the colloquial sense of the word - brother, cousin, father, etc - or a more biological sense of the world, ie similar DNA? But more importantly, does it matter? After the eruption of Krakatoa, the human population was severely bottlenecked. Some estimate that only a few thousand humans remained. If so, we are almost surely related because of the inbreeding that would have occurred. So yes, every one of us is probably super distant cousins. </p>
<p>In a more biological sense, we are definitely related, if you aceept descent with modification. If you do, you accept the premise that ALL life on earth originated from a common ancestor. Moreover, the genome of humans varies little from person to person, meaning we all share nearly identical DNA. If that’s not related, I don’t know what is.</p>
<p>Also, rejecting an idea because you “hate it” represents belief preservation of the highest order. I’m sure the Catholic Church hated the idea of heliocentrism when Copernicus and Galileo were running around with telescopes. Did that make the negation of heliocentrism credible?</p>
<p>Hence being of the same species; Homo Sapiens. ^ Exactly. We’re related More or less because of that reason as well.</p>
<p>I’m done with this. Honestly, I don’t care that much. And arguing with someone who can’t compute common sense isn’t work the effort. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>And seriously. Anyone who uses this logic in ANY argument is obviously immature. Please grow up.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>The more SAT words you use, the more obvious it is that you have no idea what you’re talking about.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Aren’t we all related in a “nameable” way regardless? Why does it matter if there was inbreeding if we all came from a common ancestor to begin with?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For better or worse, all of us do it to some extent…even if we would never explicitly say so.</p>
