How can you only pay unequally ? If one is paid differently, then neither are equal?

Is this really necessary? :rolleyes:

Anyway, read this:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Social_inequity_aversion

To better understand and breakdown the concept of social inequity aversion would be to use the study done by Sarah Brosnan (as well as with Frans B. M. de Waal),[3] who specializes in social behavior and social cognition.[4] In their experiment, “Monkeys Reject Unequal Pay” five female capuchin monkeys were used and given an unequal distribution of rewards by the human experimenter. The female monkeys alternated in pairs under four different conditions with the experimenter. Of the female monkeys, two received the same reward, one female received a superior reward, one female received a superior reward without exchange (for example without work), and a single female observed a superior reward in the absence of a partner.[5] The females were much less likely to complete a trade with the human experimenter when their corresponding partner received a food item of higher value item (a grape; the lower item was a cucumber[3]), and when that partner received the higher food item with no exchange of work of any kind, the likelihood of not completing a trade intensified.[5] All of these refusals of exchange included both passive and active rejections ranging from refusing to take the awards to throwing the reward, respectively. These negative responses of situation made with the monkeys support the early evolutionary origin of inequity aversion[5] and thus helps (in combination with the definitions of inequity and aversion) give an overall idea of what social inequity aversion is: the tendency to reject or avoid situations in which there is social inequality, unfairness, or injustice.

Based on my previous experience with empirex. Absolutely. There are many many posts of him attacking me in this forum, but I see you only found the need to chirp when I comment back. Glad to see you are as balanced as always :rolleyes:

They need to get religion:

For the kingdom of heaven is like unto a man that is an householder, which went out early in the morning to hire monkeys into his vineyard.

And when he had agreed with the monkeys for a penny a day, he sent them into his vineyard. And he went out about the third hour, and saw others standing idle in the marketplace, And said unto them; Go ye also into the vineyard, and whatsoever is right I will give you.

And they went their way. Again he went out about the sixth and ninth hour, and did likewise. And about the eleventh hour he went out, and found others standing idle, and saith unto them, Why stand ye here all the day idle? They say unto him, Because no man hath hired us. He saith unto them, Go ye also into the vineyard; and whatsoever is right, that shall ye receive.

So when even was come, the lord of the vineyard saith unto his steward, Call the monkeys, and give them their hire, beginning from the last unto the first. And when they came that were hired about the eleventh hour, they received every monkey a penny.

But when the first came, they supposed that they should have received more; and they likewise received every monkey a penny. And when they had received it, they murmured against the goodman of the house, Saying, These last have wrought but one hour, and thou hast made them equal unto us, which have borne the burden and heat of the day.

But he answered one of them, and said, Friend, I do thee no wrong: didst not thou agree with me for a penny? Take that thine is, and go thy way: I will give unto this last, even as unto thee. Is it not lawful for me to do what I will with mine own? Is thine eye evil, because I am good?

So the last shall be first, and the first last: for many be called, but few chosen.

Once again, is this really necessary?
It contributes nothing to what could be an interesting conversation related to the possible biological imperative to protest and strike when living in a society in which there is social inequality, unfairness, or injustice.

I liked the part where he / she actually tapped the stone on the side of the cage to double check he had the correct object.
"Yeah, I've got it right... now where's the grape?"
