When a territorial animal marks its territory it is saying to the world, "This is me! This is my land! I am important!". Just one example.

Because we can " decide " to invent things we became special ... when we could rationalize and expand our minds past a primate we became " special "
Oh No ... I have upset another " tree-hugger "  |
Hey man, you did call me a tree-hugger, I never did.
And I didn't retract anything, even the part of my post that you quoted states "I think not" in reference to the possibilty of calling you such a term. |
LOL ...
this was you saying this as well right ? or was your friend referring to somebody else ?

you dont deny being a tree-hugger though as it is a term you are familiar with right ?  |
Well, you almost got it right. This was my friend calling me a tree-hugger, just like you did. I never said I was. The term was initially used to describe people who would place themselves between a tree and a lumberjack. I have never done that.
