what conclusions can we draw from this research… Hmmm
Somewhere in the jungle there is a fully developed primate trade system (lol).
I would venture it says that fairness is part of hominoid nature.
Just because the Monkey’s voluntarily opt out of participating how does that make them on strike?
By that logic then so is throwing poop
I agree filc, that really is a semantic argument. It would be saying all abstention is a strike. As if I’m on strike against murder lol.
And yes, throwing poop is hominoid nature. We insult and make fun of each other all the time, we’re just a tad more sanitary about it.
(Notice also it is "hominoid not Hominid)
I think it’s pretty cool that they are so aware. Let’s get hung up on the fact that they said the word “Strike”.

If you think that is cool check out the latest Cracked.com article: 5 Creepy Ways Animal Societies Are Organizing.
They want equal pay for equal work. Get them!! They are egalitarians!
If they don’t want to do it, I’m sure OTHER animals will accept the labor on lower wages. Lazy monkeys.
Now someone explains me how this waste of taxpayers’ money (I assume Georgia State University is funded by the State) is supposed to make mankind better off.
Why is it ‘unfair’ that one monkey gets rewarded more for the same task as the other monkey?
DAMNIT i posted in the wrong thread.
well to this one I got to add that… monkeys are commies, for sure, but it’s natural to be a commie.
YES, it’s natural to be a commie. It’s natural to have a distorted economical perspective, loaded with superstitions.
If one can think of themselves as nothing more than a barbaric man-ape, I suppose that may be relevant.
