The french didn't burn Moscow though, and shouldn't you blame the Russians above all? (then again, perhaps you refer to him being Russia in RP right now) Anyway, its much more annoying to me the comic where the Seljuk turks try to take Constantinople in the 1100s, and fail. Then the comic shows a OttomanBall with a cannon. This is a widespread belief it seems, that because Constantinople fell its walls did. In reality the Turks had to storm the city by good old fashioned climbing past the dead. Roman walls stronk. Can't be melted by Ottoman cannons. Now, if the ottomans had attacked when cannon technology was stronger... I tagged him because he is my (incredibly massive by size and population and having better technology) eastern neighbor who has fought the Turks for so many times that I can't even remember. |

No, a primitive creature is perfectly capable of feeling sheer terror. You don't need logic to experience a primal fear quaking your limbs from the inside. You haven't really read anything about Cthulhu, have you? noi was going on what I know about sentience and trying to be logical and also to be primitive you must have some senteince to become primitive would you not? is right about being primitive doesn't necessarily mean it's being sentient. That's besides the point of what I was originally posting about. In the very beginning, I was referring to minimum sentience, not zero sentience, was I not? That would constitute having some sentience as opposed to a complete lack of sentience that you're trying to imply in my comment.  By definition, a sentient creature is self-aware, but not necessarily a logical thinking creature. Some humans have proved that point, they're sentient but illogical. *cough cough* Oprah fans... they're illogical monkeys! |

Iz why Humans are scientifically called Homo Sapiens, "wise man" or "sapient man" |

Just because you are a "primitive" creature, that doesn't mean your natural instincts are non-existent. If they were, well that species would have died off long ago. If said species never had natural instincts, they would have fallen to the bottom of the food chain and be vaporized indefinitely.

If said species never had natural instincts, they would have fallen to the bottom of the food chain and be vaporized indefinitely. What about every Eukaryotic organism ever? Well, as you stated, it is an organism who does have a Nucleus. Considering it has a nucleus, it must have a genetic makeup of atoms and Protons/Electrons, a Membrane, Ribosomes, and the like. Like any organism, its main goal is to reproduce and expand its species. Considering this, they would still have some sort of survival instinct, of course not being as profound. The argument would be different if we were talking about Prokaryotic organisms however. |

You also a science potatoYou aren't one of them I assume, but I remember all the times in class the kids would hear something and say this isn't math class, or history or whatever. Yeah, because things never connect! |
