So far Kris seems to get entirely what I am talking about, and I am sorry I applied my "Were's lifestyle" thing to all were's and not just selected were families, but when 2 out of the 3 families were abnormal (Stubbes and Cramers) and how the lion were's lifestyles were explained "The females rule the pack, the males live to impress the females and act like big morons", but when its all you have seen you are prone to make judgments
As for the Stubbes, and the entire packs handling of Peter, only Jean's parents seem to have any sort of encouragement to helping Peter out, "Be Sarah's best friend!" as her mother put it, but even that I've yet to see anybody sit down with Peter and even offer suggestions on what or what not to try in helping Sarah adjust
And yes, they are all humans, even in the case of Con with his ticker scar its clearly evident they age/get diseases like humans. They are just magic endowed human's, does that make them a completely different species? No, they are quite human, they just shapechange, which makes pack members like Peter's Parents or Gus Cramer even more glaringly throwback and not upstanding citizens that people, be it human's or human's embed with magic like the were's are should be
On a side note to what Usdom said "The reason you have children is to have bigger/stronger children is because of genetics" doesn't make sense, Sarah is all but a stick figure as a human, but 12ft tall and can bench press a tank as a were, -where- exactly was the pre-cursors to Sarah's were condition, because it wasn't genetics, it was magic, which FURTHER makes no sense as Sarah was a human being that had -NO- magic abilities, Peter, having very little magic abilities, suddenly Sarah is endowed with incredible magic powers?
This just leads me to believe that when it comes to human genetics profiling, yes, two tall burly people will most likely have big tall burly children, but when it comes to were's, its not based on the two were's magical attributes, its based on the singular persons affinity too or against the were magic ability in my understanding
Also Usdom, I dunno what I did to you, but you really dislike me for some reason. I am quite aware of how real life works. You seem to think that all people live for glory, power, domination, a statement I find grossly wrong in its entirety
We all do things selfish, but we all (At least I hope all) do things that arn't monetary or selfish either. We drive home in a car we work hard for, paid for by money you worked hard for, but you stop to help somebody who got stuck in a snowbank to get their car out. There was no monetary reward for it, you didn't do it for yourself, you did it for somebody else.
I tend to do things for people cause it makes me feel good. I fixed a PC last week for 6 hours of work for $100, two days later the person messed up his PC trying to hook it up to his TV, I drove out to his house, spending my gas money, hooked up his computer to his TV, showed him how to use it, showed him how to use his PC through his TV, and left without being paid.
Could I have charged him? My dad thought I should have charged him, but it wasn't a PC problem, it was just a little thing, and it felt good to help him out
Not all things we do in life are about monetary, political or social gain, some things we just do cause we like to see people smile.
