Yes, but for a country that is considered so progressive they were awarded the opportunity to host the freaking Olympics, this story about cruelty to animals has LONG been overshadowed by stories about cruelty to people. I'm not saying there aren't other countries who treat animals and humans as badly, but they aren't hosting the Olympics in Cuba, Iran, or Zimbabwe, either. Good time for a boycott.

Alright, I won't go. Who else?

Edit:
It turns out this whole article is false. That picture is the local meals-on-wheels delivery service.

Good. I have plans for you here, anyway.

Bwahaaahaaa.

Such a clever mini-god you are.

Yea...I was just hoping Shawnee didn't see this thread......but..of course...

Eh, bite me, cic. ;)

THere are a lot of threads I keep hoping you won't see. Get your ass back in chat where you don't cause any problems. :lol:

I've been kicked out of the love nest again? Damn!

Fine asshole.....I'll just go talk to myself some more. (still causes problems)
:)

You know I luvs ya, right? :)

Ummm...have you not noticed the bad press that crackers and rednecks get shawnee? ;)

wtf is that supposed to mean?

I know you didn't just call me a cracker or a redneck, because you would be sorely mistaken.

Damn, I hate it when a thread turns into a shawnee fuckaroo rodeo. Cracker ass cracker. ;)

No I wasn't talking about you. I was talking about the members of your society who you all like to crack jokes about too because of some of their weird ideas.

My point was that the world doesn't judge America on those people's way of thinking, but every country has a demographic which is either a bit crazy or weird or perhaps even supersticious. That's all.

Forgive me that you missed my asshole sense of humor; I tend to take the most extreme and point it out, like many commodians, I mean comedians, do.

But let me ask you this: If your government told your entire country that their pets were killing you and you would be better off if you would let the government round them up how many of your friends and neighbors do you think would start throwing their cats to the slaughter? Sure, a few of the demographic who is "crazy or weird" but whole scale? I think not.

And America is judged as well. I'm a proud American but I am not blind to the atrocities right here at home and I certainly am not blind to the fact that we live up to some stereotypes (that's how they're born, btw.)

Me having an opinion about THEIR GOVERNMENT scaring the people into throwing their cats to the wolves is no different than me having an opinion that OUR GOVERNMENT doesn't give much of a rat's rump what we say or think.

I don't think it's the common folk who are vying for superpower; don't you usually have to be a power before you can try for superpower? You are missing that fine difference.

I think you're missing my point Shawnee, but don't worry about it. It really doesn't matter anyway.

They've been exterminating their people too... I can't imagine that their cats are any better off....:(
I'll bring it up again but I'll just call it the MDV....I just do this because I am horrified by it....extremely horrified.

She called 'bad press' crackers and rednecks.

I think

Then Don't buy any garments from china esp with fur.
