You don't get it, do you?
We're not Homo sapiens -- we're real men.

Yeah, I'm not a real man, I'm a female android. What are you?
You, on the other hand, are more along the lines of Homo neanderthalensis.
Edit: Thanks, Brandon Rizzo, for the correction. :)
I don't think AV1611VET understands what "Homo" means in this context. But then again, AV1611VET doesn't really understand anything.
BTW - Doubting Thomas ftw!
If memory serves, we're Homo Sapiens Sapiens. Correct me if I'm wrong, I'm no biologist, but AV might have accidentally said something technically correct.
Reminds me of an hilarious joke I've heard some time ago:
A fundie father berates his atheist son, who just tried to defend evolution:
"Yeah, YOU descend from monkeys, but I DON'T !"
"Are we not men?"
Because real men don't know the scientific name of their species... haha, no.
@ The Lazy One:Homo neanderthalensis , but that is a really minor point here.
@ Creazil:Homo sapiens sapiens are a subspecies of Homo sapiens , and the subspecies name is generally omitted. So no, AV1611VET did not say anything that was correct, technically or not.
"No! I must fight the Homo Sapiens!"
The radio said, "No, AV1611VET, you are the Homo Sapiens"
And then AV1611VET was a real men.
I concur, you are not thinking/knowing men, you are pre-troglodytes.
@ EMT420
That's a good one!
"You don't get it, do you?
We're not Homo sapiens -- we're real men."
I'm a real man who acknowledges I'm Homo Sapiens . Because that's the name of our species.
Just like my girlfriend is Homo Sapiens . And I get it. Unlike you, presumably.
>:D
I thought I'd read the rest of the thread, to see what he was on about...
Even ignoring the signatures that are longer than any of the posts, some guy quoting jesus everywhere, but who has a picture of a gun and random youtube films posted, this is one f-ed up thread...
seriously, AV seems to think Homo Sapiens is a misleading name... what's misleading about it? it frigging means thinking man (or something to that effect)
This has to be a Poe. I grew up in a broke-dick town, in the middle of the Bible Belt. Sure the kids got a laugh out of calling each other homo...sapiens, and walking up to people, pointing kinda downward, and saying "your epidermis is showing," but at least that meant we were learning something. Sort of anyway.
@ Winter:
He's just trolling at this point.
Not too sure... Read his other posts - he is a genuine, 100% fundie.
You're so manly it is no wonder you are popular amongst the testosterone filled, ass slapping, manly activities. Which are not homo erotic at all.
Well, fine. It might go against the established rules of classification, it might be absolutely meaningless, but I am tired of having to share a species with you, so I'd be perfectly happy to give you your own. I'm not going to insult our ancestors by trying to claim you are belong to an earlier, now-extinct species of hominids.
Homo sapiens means something along the lines of "wise man" -- so, as others have already pointed our -- it doesn't really fit you anyway. Since you object so much to being referred to as Homo sapiens , I'd be happy to simply give you your own species and refer to you as Homo nonsapiens . Or Homo bardus ? Simply Homo fundamentalus ? (Yeah, I don't know Latin, but it's not like AV1611VET and his ilk would ever notice.)
@Shanya Almafeta:
I don't know if there is a context that could save anyone from looking stupid by saying this.
This is AV1611VET's response to someone quoting another creationist on the thread as saying, "Man was created as man," and then adding, "Genius logic, you've totally convinced me that evilution is a lie."
I don't know how AV1611VET's response even relates to the original comment at all. And I'm afraid that if I go through and read the whole thread to see if AV1611VET's response makes any sense at all in a context of several pages of creationist arguments, that my brain cells will actively start to commit suicide en masse.
Note that Pontius Pilate said of Jesus "Ecce Homo," which apparently translates as "Behold, the Queer." I guess AV1611VET thinks Jesus was gay.
I used to pull a similar joke in grade school: telling some unsuspecting person "You're a Homo Sapien!" (Yes, I know it's supposed to be Homo Sapiens with an 's' but that's how I said it as a kid) and of course they'd invariably say "No I'm not!" at which point those who knew better would have a good laugh and then I'd clue the person in. AV1611VET appears not to have received that little lesson.
Ah, AV1611VET. He can say more stupid stuff in two sentences than the average fundie can in ten. It's a talent, it really is.
AV1611VET, "homo" means "same" in Greek and "human" in Latin. "Homosexual" thus means "same sex" and "homo sapiens" means "wise man." The two have nothing to do with each other.
... I don't know why I bother. Even if you were to read this, you wouldn't give it an ounce of thought.
Linkara mode: AH AM UH MAHN! *punch*
Linkara, fyi, in all his awesome Christianityness would likely tell you the same thing I would (only maybe a little more PG): Go fuck yourself you goddamn moron.
I have a feeling this is the Vet saying that we are not animals; that in fact we are so utterly different from all OTHER life on the planet (probably just on account of at least allegedly having souls...some reason that other animals can't? I'm still waiting to hear a meaningful distinction between "mind" and "soul"...) that it's a grave error to even consider using Linnaean taxonomy on us. He probably thinks it akin to trying to categorize angels or God that way.
In short, he objects to what he thinks is regarding humans as less than utterly and completely special.
We are...

MACHO SAPIENS!!!
@#1223516
"Are you Homo Superior? Bowie predicted this."
Clearly not AV1611VET, as he hasn't gone beyond the common ancestor stage of development. But I suspect we may be witnessing the development of Homo Superior: Usain Bolt.

As Jesse Owens utterly annihilated Hitler's insane 'Aryan Superman' idea at the 1936 Berlin Olympics, methinks Usain Bolt must be pissing off the subhuman racists. Good.
Note to self... (one that's non thinking by the sound of it) would buying him a case of "Aerosol Air", from Druidia for Xmas, improve his temper...?
No, AV1611VET, it's you who doesn't "get it", and that's simply because you're just too fucking stupid to grasp or understand even the smallest scintilla of human knowledge. The rest of us - we Homo Sapiens, we Thinking Men - left your kind coughing in our evolutionary dust a couple of million or so years ago.
There's a later post in the thread where someone explains that Homo Sapiens is simply the genus and species name used to identify us, but is ultimately nothing more than a name.
AV's response was to say that
Well, I fully agree with the latter part. You can't get more anti-Biblical than being a "thinking man."
"we're real men."
Any dick can make a baby. But it takes a real man to raise a child.
And my father never so much as raised his voice to me, never mind his hand. All the 12 years I knew him (prior to his death) were the happiest of my life. The kind of dad a son could respect .
i agree we arent homo sapiens, we are homo sapiens sapiens, but since the word sapiens means smart or wise, I guess you are just maybe on the level of homo erectus, and have infact started to devolve from there. So just go ahead and follow your devolved reptilian brain and send into the world 14 more little people that look like you, but hopefully some will wise up, and discover that, "life is only a dream, there is no such thing as death, and we are all just the imagination of ourselves."
-Bill Hicks
No you are a hetro sapian. I am a pan sapian. I know a sapiens, bi sapiens, homo sapiens, demi sapiens and many more.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
