Cats suck. So, I don't see the moral dilemma. Dogs are way better.

Cruel and unusual punishment" is a protected from, in our constitution. It is a fundamental constitutional right to not be subjected to that type of "punishment." I'm under the belief that child-rapist-murderers certainly lost their constitutional rights, though.

lol. If you can lose it it's not a right.
There are different types of rights. You're referring to constitutional rights, which are different than plain ol' rights.
Even then, you can lose certain constitutional rights. The right to vote, "bare arms", etc.
Call those "conditional rights." lol

I wouldn't put a murderer under a cat on the scale of those worthy of basic rights.
I definitely would, especially considering that the cat lacks the ability to reason on the level of a human. "Rights" are a human construct that the cat doesn't understand. However, it is smart enough to know that they are in danger or being mutilated. Their "expression" of those feelings is different though.

You guys misunderstand me. With the right supervision and mind altering drugs a murderer can be enslaved into at least giving back to society somehow, cleaning houses and trash off of the highway and shit. Cats on the other hand are like the most useless ****ing animals on the planet, who's only reasons for existing are to eat, sleep, shit and hate you. The only way they could actually serve anyone is by being used as test subjects!

Oh no, I undertand you crystal clear, you cat hater! *points* *gives middle finger* *points again*
People like you are the reason why the bubonic plague spread so far, so fast, so long and killed a 3rd of the Euro population.

no, the main thesis had to do with the plasticity of development, and somewhat addresses what I think is one of the most interesting questions in psychology, how plastic is plastic?
Adult brains are already connected. An environment without horizontal lines, sure, would cause changes in their visual cortex to be sure, but it doesn't tell us about how the brain develops in the first place. It needed to be on an infant animal to see how changing stimuli input changes the way the brain organizes itself
also, no need for "studies" in quotes. They were very empirically sound

He had a segment on Penn and Teller and got to speak his side. Sounded much better there.
