Calvin Requin Argues About Balance in the Ocean

We recently got a comment about dolphins and sharks...
I enjoy sharks, they are really neat. Although I would not like to swim with them because they have sharp teeth and can swim faster than I can. I do not want to get eaten by a shark, however if a dolphin came and started to attack me I'd be too mesmerized by it's cuteness to do something about it.
 Like I've said before, sharks are not like dolphins. Sharks and dolphins are different, but apparently people think dolphins are better, or more cute than sharks. Again, I present this metaphor from Office Space: Sharks are like the person getting waited on, and dolphins are like the waiter.



Brian is like a dolphin... unoriginal, boring, and attempts to be cute and funny. Peter is like a shark... thinking realistically, not annoying, and doesn't care what others think about him. It's disgusting to think that just because a species is of a different class that it should be treated so differently from the other. It's using stereotypes actually; it would be like standing at an airport and seeing an Arab and someone of European decent. The person who commented would probably be thinking that the Arab was on there to bomb the plane and would never think differently about the other guy. What I'm saying is that both races are equal, and they are different in some ways, but it does not mean that one would be more likely to be a murderer than the other. If you would make a table of how sharks and dolphins work (according to the type of people who made that comment) this would be that list:

Sharks
Dolphins
Different Different(but better)
Different Different(but better)
Different Different(but better)
Different Different(but better)
Different Different(but better)
Different Different(but better)
