There's a biologically driven preference for symmetry, but the ostracization of
asymmetrical animals isn't based on prejudice because, of course, those animals don't have a preconceived notion and aren't making an unreasonable judgment.
thanks bg, this is the type of response i was hoping for.

I too subscribe to the idea of prejudice being something that you learn, though i like to see thinking on both sides of the fence, and i was hoping this topic would bring about more people from various sides to a friendly debate, though ended up being one sided.

I guess i have to try harder.
This is by no means me saying that i wish people to stop talking about the topic, i encourage it. To be honest, i was expecting people to question animals ability to make reasonable judgments, which is the true meat of the conversation me and my professor held.

I love you guys, so i figured i should contribute almost as much as i read.
Toke on guys. Hopefully my next thread will offer more for varied responses!
