"You end up agreeing with my point without admitting it...
U responded with...BVG...U did the same thing with the selfish gene."

Wrong on both counts.  But I'll assume that your 191 I.Q. can read twice 
and I'll leave it at that.

"...The book definitely points out how its adaptation and the propagation 
of the individual is most important..."

The book most definitely does *not* point that out; that is a gross 
misunderstanding of the content of his book.  He argues that the *gene*, 
shaped by its environment, evolves to program the robot host, i.e. our 
body (as an example), to behave in the most optimal way to propagate the 
*gene*.  You are looking at the organism and not the gene which programs 
*for* that organism.  Please, before you catagorically denounce what I've 
just said, *please* read the book again.  If you finished his argument, 
leaving with that position, you have seriously misunderstood his position.

"Do U use the Freudian Slips as a debating technique?"

I thought such a logical individual as yourself would have denounced Freud 
as a quack, as most of modern psychology has, but since you're behind the 
times, my answer is no.
