I am sorry Seesaw but you do not need to experience something to evaluate how it is or how it is not. As far as my knowledge goes, the brain has specific cells that give us the sensation of pain. As plants do not have a brain (they have specific receptors but those cannot process pain) they cannot feel pain. Do plants laugh? Obviously not.

I do not mean to be rude here but I want to inform you that science and philosophy are very, very, VERY different things. Science is something that "approximates the truth" forever, improving it perpetually and making it closer to the absolute truth, while philosophy is something like this:

Philosopher 1: You don't know what you're talking about!
Philosopher 2 : What do you mean by know? What do you mean by talking? What do you mean by you?

Lol....only time I have heard the term "doodle" is in dog breeding. It is any time another breed of dog is mixed with a pure bred poodle. Wonder if there is a connection

I really don't need you to "inform" me of anything. This is a light hearted thread, and if you dont mean to be rude, then don't. If you can't handle a conversation without being rude then maybe it's best to just not comment.
