How can there be thoughts without words?
Since this is a werewolf forum, what would a wolf's thoughts sound like?
Maybe I am wrong...

Probably thinking in terms of pictures, sounds, and scents. Sometimes I shut down the streaming internal monologue and put on pause whatever song is going in my head. The resulting silence is refreshing. After a minute or so, impressions and feelings take over.
You can also get a feel for what it's like without the internal dialogue by getting up at two in the morning, just to see what it's like to be too tired to think.

Taking a Gestalt approach, since it's the "in" thing...

That's because they aren't scavengers. Wolves have to think to catch prey. Not eat dead animals and root in human garbage. (Or be domesticated for that matter.) Even domesticated wolves are still smarter than dogs, which I've seen first hand. They're smart enough to know they don't have to obey or tolerate people that don't feed them.
Lurking softly, reading your posts, loving your ideas...

Can we please keep the personal attacks out of the discussions? If you have something hateful to say to someone, use a Private Message. If there's one thing I don't like its reading all these hateful messages.

The ability to debate and philosophize is overrated. If a wolf is capable of making moral decisions on ANY level then they are people. Neither species should be glorified. Just because human thought is more complex does not make it "better."
I know next to nothing about the scientific anaylsis of other species. I still heavily doubt anyone has it all figured out.

He may value wolves quite highly, much more then people. When you made that joke he saw it as demeaning them and maybe as an attack. Therefore his less the polite repsonces That what i think anyway. Thats what i think Matt.
Oh and i don't think humans are teh uber race but it angers me when people start bashing us then go on about how great wolves are. As said. Neither animal is better.

"Religion and politics
Often make some people
Lose all perspective and
Give way to ranting and raving and
Carrying on like emotional children.
They either refuse to discuss it with reason,
Or else they prefer argumentum ad hominem,
Which is a hell of a way to conduct a discussion."

Aspergers probably...MattSullivan wrote:what i don't get ( and continue to be baffledby ) is how i can make a joke about wolves and have someone get so mad at it, that they wish bodily harm on me. I just...don't...get it.
