Well, yeah, but, what can a Centaur do that couldn't more easily be done with a horse or another vehicle that doesn't have feelings or rights?Quote:

Only to a degree, when you consider the tremendous bottom half.Quote:

We'd have to remodel every building for "Centaur" Access.
They can't drive, so any travel over long distances will nullify their worth. (Remember that centaurs would have human minds and no whips at their back. They can run faster and farther than the average person, but human willpower and freedom always limit that capacity).
The question we need to ask ourselves is: What can a Centaur do?
Well, they could probably do deskwork in a very spacious environment. Namely, their homes. Plus, that would eliminate the commuting problem.
But working from home is mostly an e-myth, and is otherwise reserved for small business owners - Small Business Owners are not looking to be hired by me.
They can use their powerful horse body to pull things. But again, unlike a horse, this is a Centaur who's going to want Workman's Comp, who's going to cry if he gets cut, and who's going to demand a break when he's tired, and, at the end of the day, doesn't have a stronger rear end than a Ford F-250!
I may as well keep my junk trucks or buy a horse that won't whine as much.
So we see that any job like that, very applicable for a Centaur, makes the human part not only useless, but full of problems and expenses. I would not hire a Centaur to pull wire or logs or anything. I'd use machines.
What else can a centaur do? Nothing on a ladder. Electrician work would get them killed. Anything that's hazardous- that big body would create a massive safety risk for everybody. I mean, we're ruling out everything blue collar except for sales representatives.
Can anybody really think of a job that would make a Centaur worth hiring?
Yeah. The right to be jerks. Whether they have feelings or not, they don't care about anybody else's.Quote:

Have you ever worked with horses? They're horrible. And I wopuld refuse to assign a horse-chick to every Centaur to make sure it craps in a bag, isn't covered in flies, and has well combed hair.
Centaurs freak me out. :(
I don't know why, but I've always found them eerie.
I wouldn't really consider them real humans, but I would respect them as much as possible.
That sound just there was the joke being killed.Quote:

They're half-human.
Let them pick which half of the human rights they want. :)
Edit: Same for Satyrs, Mermaids, Harpies, Lamiae, and Lycanthropes.
Exterminate them. Man must win the war against nature at all costs, and they would be a powerful ally for the planet.

I'd treat centaurs a lot differently than I'd treat humans. But I'd probably give them the same amount of respect and rights.
Who am I kidding? I would probably become paranoid and get extremely unstable any time a centaur comes near me...Imagine how scary it'd be if one of them was creeping up behind you
you'd hear them though cause they have hoofs...you cant be quiet with hoofs :\Quote:

No such thing as Tauren rogues.Quote:
