Humans are MAMMALS...not animals. There is a big difference between the two words. Humans are generally only called animals when they are acting in a bestial manner, such as serial killers and rapists.

Mordred, unless you speak English as maybe your third or fourth language, this is unforgivable. Your mistake is so fucking stupid that I cannot even bring myself to laugh.
Seriously, I could go on for hours about how much I hate you for making this comment. It's a disgrace to literacy and the English language. For fuck's sake, what the hell kind of literate (presumably) adult doesn't know the definition of mammal? I suppose it's quite likely that you were homeschooled by fundie weirdoes like yourself, but even that doesn't make this even remotely okay.
Also, I hate that you are posting in a Star Wars discussion, because I love Star Wars, and you are tainting it with your phenomenal jackassery.
The stupid is strong with this one.
*Force-chokes*
@GoFast: I have encountered a fair number of home-schooling, child-indoctrinating fundie nutbags who teach their children either that humans are not animals, humans are not mammals, humans are not primates, mammals are not animals, or any other bizarre combination thereof. So it's quite possible that this is, in fact, a fundie.
I'd send you back to 3rd grade science class, but I have a feeling it would crush your ego to fail next to more successful 8-year-olds.
There is no word in the English language that can sufficiently describe your failure level.
So that'll be:
Domain: Eukaryota (multi-cellular organisms)
Kingdom: Animalia (animals)
Phylum: Chordata (animals with hollow spines)
Class: Mammalia (mammals)
Order: Primates (Lemurs, monkeys, apes, humans)
Family: Hominidae (great apes)
Genus: Homo (man-like)
Species: H. sapiens
Subspecies: H. s. sapiens
Name: Mordred5478
considered opinion: Ignorant dipshit.
The comment was made in reference to the fact that if you play a female character, you can have a lesbian "romance" with a humanoid alien with feline facial features. (Romance in terms of she says she likes you a lot...) Mordred compares the romance to bestiality, and defends himself by saying the above...
When I read it, I just sat for a moment, convinced my eyes were playing tricks on me and he didn't really say that...
Sorry, but mammals are animals. As www.thefreedictionary.com says...
1. A multicellular organism of the kingdom Animalia, differing from plants in certain typical characteristics such as capacity for locomotion, nonphotosynthetic metabolism, pronounced response to stimuli, restricted growth, and fixed bodily structure.
Doesn't that sound like people?
*BZZZZT!* Sorry, that's incorrect, but thanks for playing.
See Rufus' post for the winning answer.
I for one know that I always have trouble telling mammals from rocks and plants. I mean, it would be soooo much easier if there were a third category they fit into but, alas, there isn't...
"Humans are generally only called animals when they are acting in a bestial manner, such as serial killers and rapists."
Yes. Animals are well known for that.

Kingdoms are at the second level of classification. The human species is at the 26th level of classification. Note how mammalia is within animalia.
mam·mal (mam'?l) Pronunciation Key
n. Any of various warm-blooded vertebrate animals of the class Mammalia, including humans, characterized by a covering of hair on the skin and, in the female, milk-producing mammary glands for nourishing the young.
It's funny, since animals can't rape or kill those of their own species. But anyway, for a guy who is claiming that dolphins, whales, horses, cows or elephants, to name a few, are not animals, what do you expect?
Mammals ARE animals. A cat is a mammal, a cow is a mammal. Mammal means a bearer of mammaries - tits to you. So we are animals.
Sorry if this spoils your day. Have a crap. It'll make you feel lighter and better. BTW, mammals crap too!

"Right, because sweat glands that evolved to secrete fatty residue are clearly the benchmark of any enlightened civilisation."
Actually, it's only the Monotremes whose mammary glands evolved from sweat glands.
For the rest of class mammalia , the mammary glands evolved from sebaceous glands.
You're not sweating when you breast-feed, you're popping a zit.
FAILED in zoology!
FAILED in biology!
FAILED in understanding the meaning of the words: animal,human,rapist and serial killer!
FAILED in understanding the difference!
FAILED in intelligence.
PASSED in ignorance!

we are animals and not just serial killers and rapist, comparing them to animals mental is also retarded.. do you see animals acting like we do? they use instinct which is kill to survive.. but serial killers do it because they can and think they can get away with it.
humans=mammals=animals
do some damn research you retarded ass, my 10 year old sister knows this too..
"Humans are MAMMALS...not animals."
See that? It's the Millennium Falcon making Admiral Piett shit himself as it appears to be about to collide with the bridge of his Star Destroyer (but overshoot at the last second).
But still several parsecs over your head, as it represents the point .
I find your lack of education disturbing.
Well, wolves, whales, dolphins, sheep, dogs, etc.............are mammals too. Are they humans?, should we extend rights to them too?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
