Do you know what concise is?

Brief compact understandable information yet containing all the important and relevant details.

That's what wikipedia offers and it is really good at it.
So you don't have to spend a year reading 10 different textbooks on the topic to come to the same assessment.

Seriously what is your major malfunction???
I am not replying to you anymore. I can't bear your intellectual insecurities.

If you can't bear it, it's no one's problem but yours.

Let's just keep talking about Wikipedia and avoid the part where you wrongly accused me of confirmation bias. Talk about intellectual insecurity.

First off it's a true story. Secondly most of this thread makes me just shake my head. As a matter of fact a lot of the recent posts and posters make me shake my head.

Me too! Apparently we DO have something in common. LOL, who knew?

I wish the mods here had some guts: on some forums, all of the bickering on this thread would have been deleted as "off-topic".

Not only so we have that in common but I also have quite a bit of respect for you. I may not agree with you often but I think you're solid.

Oh don't worry about your prick status.
You still hold the heavyweight title.

However, I'm in training to be a contender

I will be perfectly honest- I did used to think that about you Korbin. The more I read around on this site, the more I find that you do know your stuff, and you do try to help people. I do maintain however that you have absolutely no tolerance for what you deem stupidity lol.

Good, I was getting a little worried there.

@ franks

I think promoting stupidity should be a ban able offense.

Re: The yellow rat snake that may enjoy some human contact.

Wow, I suppose I shouldnt be surprised by this thread. I would like to congratulate Cory on keeping his cool and demeanor throughout a whole lot of nonsense in response to a valid post.

Once again, as is usually the case in this debate, the people who posted actual scientific evidence with credible references were ignored by everyone else. (Well done Cory and Zoonanny for actually showing some of your research) Sorry, but stating that reptiles dont have a limbic system and therefore cant have higher functioning is just as credible as saying my snake likes a good rub. They both have little to no research behind them and are merely subjective observations from an already formed opinion. You guys keep using those words "scientific evidence" like you knew what it meant, yet all your posts prove otherwise. Its a little disingenuous to say that one side has no evidence and is therefore stupid, yet also provide no evidence. It does however show that youve done no credible research either...
