Replying to a comment on:

science (Free verse) by whispern_smoke_wisp

I read an article a few years back. It explained how dogs don't really love us humans. They just evolved this way so that, like a parasite, they could take advantage of us, to get food. (shaking my head) God damn it, says I why does science always have to explain away the magic of all the simple pleasures.

Sorry, whispern_smoke_wisp, but, seriously, what are you talking about then?

Let me try to explain what I was commenting about. For one thing, you SHOULD believe in the article, and it was clear from the beginning you don't (hence all the comments). The article's not the problem. You're a little mistaken about what it's saying, though, and maybe that's why you don't agree with it.

To clarify what it was ACTUALLY saying: Dogs are not whores or parasites. They evolved loving attitudes toward humans (and were in part domesticated because they had some loving-type behaviors to begin with) so humans would provide them with food and shelter. Despite that they have pretty shallow reasons for loving humans, they DO ACTUALLY love humans, like babies do, and for the same reasons, but unlike young women who marry rich elderlies or real wholes do. Is that clear? At least in terms of what the article's talking about (and whether or not you agree with it)?

Sorry again. I'm trying not to be annoying.
