I never told her she couldn't use those factors, but I am saying it doesn't logically follow to use them.
What do those aspects have to do with just keeping reptiles? How does putting a cornsnake in a 4x2x2 cause inbreeding?
See my point?

Again it's no assumption. You're comparing apples to oranges. Compare apples to apples. Humans are not apples in this case.

It is in fact an assumption and an accusation(Accusing me for trying to be sneaky), there is no way getting around it. You could have saved me the trouble by going back to read my reasoning for asking the question. I said it was a side question not meant to be part of my argument, I just wanted to see how she applies that logic when it comes to humans.

You asked why being selfish is wrong. Quite simply it's because selfish is a trait that is widely accepted as a negative trait. Ergo it's wrong to be selfish.
Like I said you're now at the definition of selfish to prove a point. You've lost...

Well I guess I don't have much else to say then. To me wrong = bad... usually meaning someone/something suffers.
If I am being selfish and nothing suffers I don't see how it's wrong. So I will agree to disagree on why selfish automatically makes something wrong.
