Nope. You supplied a link to hoarding and not animals that harvest crops. So that clearly makes you the moron and a very dishonest moron at that.
That would be because that is the wiki that google takes you to when you search that word, moron!
How convienient for you. I prefer to stick by what I know of you and call another lie. You have no link but are too cowardly to admit you are wrong.
You will have to google it yourself because if I try to post it, the link wont work.
I'll assume you are again lying. Never known to be the wrong assumption in your case
Since you like to assume so much, why don't you just assume I'm right.
If you know how to use google how come every link you give is either to a different topic or information that actually shows you to be wrong and now a link that does not work. Again I will assume you are lying
You can shadow me in your ignorance, I know how to use google, and apparently you don't.
'Milk cows'? Is your whole vocabulary stuck at the age of a five year old? Are individuals moo cows in your world. Dairy cattle are fed in many ways and as grass is cheap that is the prefered option and why you see all those moo cows in fields you twonk.
Ya but milk cows don't live on grass, they are grain fed, and the grain is man made you moron.
You would be as you choose a lie even if the truth is the simple answer.
I'm still shocked that you chose to be honest for once.
No smuck you wrote
Well you missed the point, no big shocker, which was that sometimes that answer is right in front of us and doesn't require a lot of work to find.
Clearly gathering evidence to you is tidius hard work. Being the lazy lump you are you choose to lie rather than work.
Well if I'm a sapiensaphobe about this, then you must be new to whats going on. I didn't have to research the goof, I had never heard of anything that ants do that is unnatural. Now I understand that you guys might rely on the straight forward approach and find it pretty time consuming and tidius, but I on the other hand just realized some common sense facts. As a result a lot of unnecessary work was avoided.
I told you already. You are the one being dishonest and no you want to discuss the house sparrow to attempt to hide from this topic that is the epic fail.
I think the dishonesty is in your being incredulous. You ignored every possibility I brought up, then in the attempt to try to disassemble things, tripped over your own work. Even if a house sparrow does have a relationship with our homes, that isn't to say that he has a relationship with us. But you stood firm on your flimsy tail and were so incredulous that it had to be a good answer.
Who is really being dishonest here?
Epic fail.

How tragic it is to end one post pointing out your dishonest approach to this thread and have to open the next also highlighting your dishonesty.
Aside from humans, most things here have target food.
One thing is for sure, you sure have integrity in being incredulous.
This one is correct, the other was a typo.
Again I will point out that in no way do I accept that the other statement was a typo
And you call my approach incredulous.
Of course not, because someone as perfect as I am, never makes mistakes right? Thanks for standing up for me.
And your answer to all that is
Well I never said that all or even most others have target food, especially since it even tells us in the bible that a lot of species were brought here, means they probably won't have target food.
You clearly justify the first part of this rubbish by refering to the bible as supporting evidence. So this is clearly not a typo but your dishonest tactic to avoid accepting you are wrong by continually changing the meanings of your made up terms, hence the reason for demanding they be defined which you have refused to do.
So you avoid answering my point that the statment you made was in no way a typo and that is your answer. A lie about something else and no you have never given the definitions for your made up terms that change to suit your current argument.
Well they have already been defined and they aren't going to change if thats what your waiting for.
Explain what you mean by 'MOST' as you were asked which means I was not making an assumption but your non answers leave little other options.
Well this is obviously where your train got derailed, your making an assumption (like you always do) that a lot means most, and it doesn't have to. I'm sure there were a lot of species brought here, but it may not add up to most, considering there was probably a plethora of life already here.
Really. That does not explain that ants harvesting chemicals would be unnatural as they do not do it. Again how did you reach the conclusion that ants harvesting chemicals was natural?
Simple, I had never heard of anything unnatural that the ants partake in.
It does not matter what you thought. You was wrong and so was your conclusion and I want to know what you based your obvious assumption on?
Well I thought I was quoting you.
You have never come close to showing anything and that includes definitions for your made up terms. Answering your contradictions or explaining how you came to the wrong conclusion
I have clearly shown that there is ample reason that suggests intervention did in fact happen to us. There is more proof of this than there is of evolution.
Fine then you should have no problem in supplying the definitions for them
The terms are the common usage of the words and target food is not going to change.
That is exactly his intention and what he has been allowed to do by us for too many pages.

I dont know what to tell you, it was a typo, If you feel I'm wrong then prove it otherwise.
So you avoid answering my point that the statment you made was in no way a typo and that is your answer. A lie about something else and no you have never given the definitions for your made up terms that change to suit your current argument.
Explain what you mean by 'MOST' as you were asked which means I was not making an assumption but your non answers leave little other options. Let me give you an example of use of the word. "Most of the time, your an idiot."
most/mōst/
Adjective:
Greatest in amount or degree: "they've had the most success"; "they had the most to lose".
Adverb:
To the greatest extent: "the things he most enjoyed".
Synonyms:
very - greatly - extremely - passing - highly - much
True, but I thought I was quoting you.
Really. That does not explain that ants harvesting chemicals would be unnatural as they do not do it. Again how did you reach the conclusion that ants harvesting chemicals was natural?
Just false memory.
It does not matter what you thought. You was wrong and so was your conclusion and I want to know what you based your obvious assumption on?
Then that is all you have achieved, well done.
Thats ok, I'm not here to be accepted.
How about the TRUTH? And I did prove it. Read my answer you are replying too
I dont know what to tell you, it was a typo, If you feel I'm wrong then prove it otherwise.
You clearly justify the first part of this rubbish by refering to the bible as supporting evidence. So this is clearly not a typo but your dishonest tactic to avoid accepting you are wrong by continually changing the meanings of your made up terms, hence the reason for demanding they be defined which you have refused to do.
That is the definition of most but does not explain what YOU meant when you used it in 'target food'. 51%, 90%, 99% what do YOU mean by most.

That for the umpteenth time does not explain what you based your incorrect assumption on and how you came to the incorrect conclusion that ants harvesting chemicals was natural when it is anything but natural as they dont harvest chemicals.
True, but I thought I was quoting you.
And you believe that is an acceptable answer
Just false memory.
You never answered: It does not matter if you were confused or not. YOU CLAIMED ANTS HARVESTING CHEMICALS WAS NATURAL WHEN ANTS DO NOT HARVEST CHEMICALS. AGAIN I ASK
HOW DID YOU REACH THAT CONCLUSION???????
Man your so wrapped up in spotting lies, that your missing the truth. Your blind.
Thats ok, I'm not here to be accepted.
Then that is all you have achieved, well done.
On the other hand your refusal to explain your two conflicting statements that as shown neither was a typo forces myself and others to make the assumption that you are dishonest and no lie is too stupid if it allows you to avoid facing the truth.
Again thats because your taking the word most out of context.
You clearly justify the first part of this rubbish by refering to the bible as supporting evidence.

I'm going with the adjective.
That is the definition of most but does not explain what YOU meant when you used it in 'target food'. 51%, 90%, 99% what do YOU mean by most.
I made an educated guess based on how I wasn't able to find anything unnatural they do.
My question: Really. That does not explain that ants harvesting chemicals would be unnatural as they do not do it. Again how did you reach the conclusion that ants harvesting chemicals was natural?
I'm going to say your wrong anyhow, seeing that they used pesticide's, they have to harvest it somehow.
That for the umpteenth time does not explain what you based your incorrect assumption on and how you came to the incorrect conclusion that ants harvesting chemicals was natural when it is antything but natural as they dont harvest chemicals.
Doesn't matter what I think, thats whats going on.
Just false memory.
And you believe that is an acceptable answer
I honestly don't understand how you can complain that ants use pesticides, then turn around and claim they don't harvest chemicals.
You never answered: It does not matter if you were confused or not. YOU CLAIMED ANTS HARVESTING CHEMICALS WAS NATURAL WHEN ANTS DO NOT HARVEST CHEMICALS. AGAIN I ASK
HOW DID YOU REACH THAT CONCLUSION???????
The problem is, all you offer is lies. I am not blind enough to be unable to see through your tissue of lies.
Man your so wrapped up in spotting lies, that your missing the truth. Your blind.
Not so. Your are the one focusing on one word where I quote the whole paragraph in full.
Again thats because your taking the word most out of context.
That shows exactly what I am telling you that in no way was this a typo. Here is my justifaction for that.
Well I never said that all or even most others have target food, especially since it even tells us in the bible that a lot of species were brought here, means they probably won't have target food.
your weak answer
You clearly justify the first part of this rubbish by refering to the bible as supporting evidence. So this is clearly not a typo but your dishonest tactic to avoid accepting you are wrong by continually changing the meanings of your made up terms, hence the reason for demanding they be defined which you have refused to do.
I have laid out the argument in full context. You are again just a failed liar.
Again thats because your taking the word most out of context.
Aside from humans, most things here have target food.
I'm going with the adjective.
Really? you made an assumption that you constantly acuse others of doing and claim you will not accept from others.
I made an educated guess based on how I wasn't able to find anything unnatural they do.
You really know how to dig holes for yourself dont you. Show me, with links where ants harvest somehow the pesticide they use on their crops. I did supply the information in the links you dismissed and obviously never read.
I'm going to say your wrong anyhow, seeing that they used pesticide's, they have to harvest it somehow.
Even by your low standards that is pathetic
Doesn't matter what I think, thats whats going on.
With the biggest library at your finger tips in the history of mankind and that is your best answer. You are the lazy, completely ignorant lying, wooden headed fool that describes Pinocchio, your namesake
I honestly don't understand how you can complain that ants use pesticides, then turn around and claim they don't harvest chemicals.
I think your a few screws short.
You never answered: It does not matter if you were confused or not. YOU CLAIMED ANTS HARVESTING CHEMICALS WAS NATURAL WHEN ANTS DO NOT HARVEST CHEMICALS. AGAIN I ASK

I see the words your typing but they never go further than that. What exactly am I always lying about? EVERYTHING?
The problem is, all you offer is lies. I am not blind enough to be unable to see through your tissue of lies.
Well we have already established that target food is not going to be anywhere, but that everything else will. Now you can sit there and argue all you want that the terms aren't listed anywhere, but the fact of the matter is that most aren't from what I'm able to see, so your just blowing smoke to try to make yourself look better. If you have a problem with sentance assembly or for that matter disection, then your speaking the wrong language. I'm not your teacher and aside from target food have not summoned up any new meanings. You have google just like I do. If you don't understand what the word "most" means, then look it up.
Not so. Your are the one focusing on one word where I quote the whole paragraph in full.
No its not, its you taking the word most out of context.
You clearly justify the first part of this rubbish by refering to the bible as supporting evidence. So this is clearly not a typo but your dishonest tactic to avoid accepting you are wrong by continually changing the meanings of your made up terms, hence the reason for demanding they be defined which you have refused to do.
Thats right moron, if got provided us with 2000 species that aren't from earth, then that just leaves the other 5 million plus that appear to be from here. Do the math you moron.
Aside from humans, most things here have target food
I gave you the definition and the context it was used in which tells you exactly which part of the definition applies to it, are you mental or what?
So you cannot even explain in what context you used MOST in when descibing 'target food'. You acuse me of just looking for lies yet that is all you offer.
Sure, only difference is that mine is accurate.
Really? you made an assumption that you constantly acuse others of doing and claim you will not accept from others.
Well the only ignorance was not remembering correctly what I was trying to quote.
You called it an educated guess yet it was based on ignorance. No of course you cannot find anything unnatural they do except your belief that they harvest chemicals.
For the fifth time, I based it on not being able to find anything unnatural that the ant is labled with.
Still. An educated guess is made by looking at the evidence so what did you base your incorrect conclusion on?
No I'm not going to provide links from quoting you.
I'm going to say your wrong anyhow, seeing that they used pesticide's, they have to harvest it somehow.
You really know how to dig holes for yourself dont you. Show me, with links where ants harvest somehow the pesticide they use on their crops. I did supply the information in the links you dismissed and obviously never read.
No its not, its logical to be honest.
Even by your low standards that is pathetic
I honestly don't understand how you can complain that ants use pesticides, then turn around and claim they don't harvest chemicals.
I think your a few screws short
Actually this will be the third time I have explained it, but I know your missing some screws, so I will explain a third time. Here are others that farm... itotd.com...
Edit: BTW you have not explained why you supplied a link to hoarding to support your list of species you say harvest their crops. Am I to take it this is another question you intend not answering
Look back at your last three posts and tell me where you told the truth. Pick any of your past posts and show me where you told the truth. Yeah pretty much everything that threatens your fantasy you defend with lies.
I see the words your typing but they never go further than that. What exactly am I always lying about? EVERYTHING?
I have asked for your updated definition of target food, you have failed to supply it. Why?
Well we have already established that target food is not going to be anywhere, but that everything else will.
Your poor grasp on English has let you down again. I tell you your terms are not on any search program and you agree by saying 'but the fact of the matter is that most aren't from what I'm able to see,' so you agree but still say I am blowing smoke. Maybe you are just thick. It does not stop you from giving your own definition of the terms you made up and use
Now you can sit there and argue all you want that the terms aren't listed anywhere, but the fact of the matter is that most aren't from what I'm able to see, so your just blowing smoke to try to make yourself look better
Explain the context you used MOST in. Address the fact that you claim typo when it plainly was not.
If you have a problem with sentance assembly or for that matter disection, then your speaking the wrong language. I'm not your teacher and aside from target food have not summoned up any new meanings. You have google just like I do. If you don't understand what the word "most" means, then look it up.
I already showed you I took nothing out of context. You are just putting up a poor defence after being pulled up for your dishonest approch to this thread.
No its not, its you taking the word most out of context.
All you have to do now is prove it and no you explain the context you used most in.
Thats right moron, if got provided us with 2000 species that aren't from earth, then that just leaves the other 5 million plus that appear to be from here. Do the math you moron.
You have not supplied that information. I asked 51%, 90% 99% what do you mean by most?
I gave you the definition and the context it was used in which tells you exactly which part of the definition applies to it, are you mental or what?
It plainly was not accurate because you claimed ants harvesting chemicals was natural when they do not harvest chemicals and so that cannot be a natural process with ants. Do I see another lie to protect your fantasy? I think so.
Sure, only difference is that mine is accurate.
Which is ignorance. You still have not explained what you based your so called educated guess on or are you admitting you were wrong?
Well the only ignorance was not remembering correctly what I was trying to quote. Well the only ignorance was not remembering correctly what I was trying to quote.
Show me the natural things you found ants do
For the fifth time, I based it on not being able to find anything unnatural that the ant is labled with.
Yet you claimed it was so easy. Whats wrong? Truth is you cannot supply any links showing other species that harvest their crops which is why you gave me one for hoarding. Again you are lying by ommision.
No I'm not going to provide links from quoting you.
So why dont you try it?
No its not, its logical to be honest.
Well done, you finally did a bit of research. Did you notice how none of those animals you originally provided are included? It also says if you bothered to read it
Actually this will be the third time I have explained it, but I know your missing some screws, so I will explain a third time. Here are others that farm... itotd.com...
Just as you have been told many times with humans. Here is more information
This has also allowed these insects to sustain very large populations
So strangely ants do not harvest chemicals. Ready to admitt you were wrong yet. Also nowhere does it say insects, the fish, humans or the snail farming is unnatural
the leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the garden
Yet knowing it to be wrong you posted it anyway or is this another case of you not reading further than the title of your own links?
The hoarding link came about because I had typed in something along the lines of "name species that harvest" and I got redirected to hoarding. I'm not able to recreate it. Oddly enough it doesn't come up in the disambiguation.
Blah blah blah, you keep saying that, and thats all your doing. There is no credibility without proof. If your so certain I'm lying, prove it.
Look back at your last three posts and tell me where you told the truth. Pick any of your past posts and show me where you told the truth. Yeah pretty much everything that threatens your fantasy you defend with lies.
I'm sticking with what I have issued at this point.
I have asked for your updated definition of target food, you have failed to supply it. Why?
I agree that you are a nut, if you can't make sense out of words put together, there is something seriously wrong with you. But we already knew that right.
Your poor grasp on English has let you down again. I tell you your terms are not on any search program and you agree by saying 'but the fact of the matter is that most aren't from what I'm able to see,' so you agree but still say I am blowing smoke. Maybe you are just thick. It does not stop you from giving your own definition of the terms you made up and use
Most things here have a target food. Probably the ones that god brought over, more than likely don't. How ever it might be hard to guage them eating what appears to be a target food and it actually just being a suppliement since that target food might not be here.
Explain the context you used MOST in. Address the fact that you claim typo when it plainly was not.
I being completly honest when I say you need help understanding what the word "most" means. Here is a clue, your wrong most of the time.
I already showed you I took nothing out of context. You are just putting up a poor defence after being pulled up for your dishonest approch to this thread.
Most life here has target food, is that really so hard to understand? Six words that DR colin cant wrap his pea brain around because they are just to hard to figure out.
All you have to do now is prove it and no you explain the context you used most in.
We have already established this DR Colin, but your not explaining how it is that ants use pesticides yet they don't harvest chemicals.
It plainly was not accurate because you claimed ants harvesting chemicals was natural when they do not harvest chemicals and so that cannot be a natural process with ants. Do I see another lie to protect your fantasy? I think so.
Like I said for the umteenth time, I was confused and actually thought I was quoting you. In a way I still am. You still haven't fessed up to how it is that the ant uses pesticides, but doesn't harvest chemicals.
Which is ignorance. You still have not explained what you based your so called educated guess on or are you admitting you were wrong?
I wasn't looking for natural things that ants do, I was looking for unnatural things they do, and guess what, I came up with nothing, which is what I based my conclusion on.
Show me the natural things you found ants do
I was directed to hoarding after searching for "rodents that harvest food" so up yours buddy.
Yet you claimed it was so easy. Whats wrong? Truth is you cannot supply any links showing other species that harvest their crops which is why you gave me one for hoarding. Again you are lying by ommision
You really are a bugger.
So why dont you try it?
Which means I'm even more correct because the list is larger than expected.
Well done, you finally did a bit of research. Did you notice how none of those animals you originally provided are included? It also says if you bothered to read it
Only difference is that humans don't do it naturally.
This has also allowed these insects to sustain very large populations
Just as you have been told many times with humans. Here is more information
You still haven't proven how it is he utilizes this chemical. Is he producing it on the spot, or does he manufacture it to use it later, what?
the leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the garden
So strangely ants do not harvest chemicals. Ready to admitt you were wrong yet. Also nowhere does it say insects, the fish, humans or the snail farming is unnatural
Nope, actually it is correct, and I got to hoarding by googling "rodents that harvest food."
Yet knowing it to be wrong you posted it anyway or is this another case of you not reading further than the title of your own links?

You asked the question. I gave you my answer. You did not like the answer. Tough
Blah blah blah, you keep saying that, and thats all your doing. There is no credibility without proof. If your so certain I'm lying, prove it.
Then if you have your finished version supply it so we all know what you mean when you use it. Failure to do so is lying by ommission.
I'm sticking with what I have issued at this point.
You expect anyone to make sense out of that garbled nonsense? even you cannot defend it hence your insult. Dont forget to supply the definitions for your made up terms.
I agree that you are a nut, if you can't make sense out of words put together, there is something seriously wrong with you. But we already knew that right.
Most things=percentages not more drivel that also cannot be accepted as you are using your made up term 'target food' but have not supplied the definition.
Most things here have a target food. Probably the ones that god brought over, more than likely don't. How ever it might be hard to guage them eating what appears to be a target food and it actually just being a suppliement since that target food might not be here.
And you show that you are so backward you do not understand a simple question. Please explain what you mean by most in the context you used it. Otherwise you will be free to change what you claimed you meant later down the line
I being completly honest when I say you need help understanding what the word "most" means. Here is a clue, your wrong most of the time.
How dense are you, really? Most can mean the majority, 51% or it can mean very few are not included 99.9% or anything in between. What did you mean when you wrote the very loose word MOST in the context you used it. Too simple for you? I expect so. If you make that clear you would be unable to change it to suit you current argument.
Most life here has target food, is that really so hard to understand?
Are you a complete dunce. Did you not read my reply to your last post again? Did you not understand the information you linked too?
We have already established this DR Colin, but your not explaining how it is that ants use pesticides yet they don't harvest chemicals.
the leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the gardenthe leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the garden
That does not explain how you reached your conclusion
Like I said for the umteenth time, I was confused and actually thought I was quoting you. In a way I still am. You still haven't fessed up to how it is that the ant uses pesticides, but doesn't harvest chemicals.
Well done for that piece of unrelated information unless of course you are trying to say now that ants harvest pheromones?
Phermones are chemicals genius.
Do you know how dense, how completely ignorant that is? You looked for what the unnatural thing ants did and you expected to find anything. You really are an unintelligent cretin.
I wasn't looking for natural things that ants do, I was looking for unnatural things they do, and guess what, I came up with nothing, which is what I based my conclusion on.
But hoarding and harvesting are not the same. Like I said your understanding of the language you abuse if next to zero.
I was directed to hoarding after searching for "rodents that harvest food" so up yours buddy.
Thankyou
You really are a bugger.
Oh goody. So you still owe me the links that show the original list you supplied contains animals that harvest their crops. I am still waiting
Which means I'm even more correct because the list is larger than expected.
And of course you have to show that with evidence and an explanation that is more informative than that ignorance you replied with.
Only difference is that humans don't do it naturally.
You actually cannot understand the written word can you?
You still haven't proven how it is he utilizes this chemical. Is he producing it on the spot, or does he manufacture it to use it later, what?
This is from the link you supplied.
the leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the garden
Two things it shares in common with humans but it stops there.
The Damselfish farms, is aggressively protective of their farms.
Not one mention of unnatural
We humans capitalized on the invention of agriculture to place ourselves on the path to achieve a dominating position in our ecosystem. It is our gregarious nature, societal structure, communication skills, and a measure of engineering skills that were key. Let’s examine how non-human farmers stack up in these areas.
Just as with humans
All three of the insect farmers have very well organized societal structures that in all likelihood developed before they learned fungiculture.
As with humans
They have built complex societal structures with task specialization.
Just as with humans and you have had explained many times but chose to reject.
This has also allowed these insects to sustain very large populations.
They also like variety just as humans do it appears
Ants have developed at least 553 strains of farmable fungi belonging to seven different genera.
Just as communication is vital for humans
The insect farmers use specialized chemicals called pheromones to communicate amongst themselves; this communication is essential to forming complex societal structures.
So we even derive many of our own antibiotics from the same bacteria as the ants
The insect farmers also use a variety of techniques to weed out unwanted fungus from their farms. Interestingly, the leaf cutters use antibiotic-secreting bacteria of the group actinomycetes to weed out other unwanted fungus growing in the garden. What is amazing is that we derive many of our own antibiotics, such as streptomycin and tetramycin, from actinomycetes
As I told you and another parallel with humans
The parallels with human farmers do not end with agriculture. There are species of ants that herd aphids in much the same way humans herd cattle and live on the sugary excretions of the aphids
I wasn't looking for natural things that ants do, I was looking for unnatural things they do, and guess what, I came up with nothing, which is what I based my conclusion on.
Here is the conclusion from that link.
The Eastgate building in central Harare uses the same heating and cooling principles as the termite mound (see the diagram). Inside the termite mound, insects farm fungus for consumption. This fungus must be kept at an optimum temperature. By carefully adjusted convection currents air is sucked in at the lower part of the mound, down into enclosures with muddy walls and up through a channel to the peak of the termite mound. The termites constantly dig new vents and plug old ones to regulate the temperature. So, if the air from outside the termite mound is warmer it should warm up the inside of the termite mound. On the other hand if the air is cooler it cools the termite mound. That way, the fungus in the mound should be kept at an optimum temperature and the insects in the mound will not starve
Where does unnatural fit here?
Engineers and architects who designed and built the building, lawyers, sales people, and everyone else working in the Eastgate complex, owe it to Mother Nature. Eastgate is a classic example of ``putting nature into technology."

So he looks for thing that do not exist, finds nothing and bases his findings on that. NOTHING. Just about sums him up
