How would you not know that your 7 year old was at the zoo behind a barrier torturing reptiles. He's 7. Since when do 7 year olds go to the zoo alone and break in? Seriously where are his parents?
Why are people going into the service so naive? “Oh, they pick on me, I can’t keep my piercing, they give me crap about my religion. Ohhh my poor individuality.” Being in the service is not about your individuality. Once you go in, all that stuff your mom told you about how you are some special unique little gem counts for shit. It's not about your rights, or your ideas. It's about following orders, uniformity, and performance, so that when the crap hits the fan, you'll know how to react, and protect yourself and the guys you’re with. People on here are talking about the irony of medical personal being atheist...Just as you would not think a wounded soldier telling his doctor to be Christian isn't going to fly; you think a doctor would tell a wounded soldier who faces injury and death that his God is BS? Hell no. Some people need god just to feel that in the worse case scenario there is still something for them. I'm an atheist, but I don’t have the need to argue or push it on anyone. And when the reverse happens to me I just smile and nod. Why should I care if someone else is a devout follower of mumbo jumbo? If it makes them feel better great, if they think I'm going to hell because I don’t believe fine, and if I have to play along out of respect because it's appropriate for the situation, no big deal anyway. It's not a loss to me because I didn't believe in anything in the first place. And does this dude not see the irony in him feeling like a victim, when we are fighting in one of the most religiously oppressed regions in the world. Next time he wants to cry, go ask an Iraqi woman how swell her life and sense of religious freedom is… and suck it up. (BTW this is not a blanket statement that Islam is inherently oppressive, just that the practice of Islam, especially in Iraq and Iran is horribly oppressive) And if you have some tremendous sense of being a special individual, and aren’t willing to give that up, then don’t joint the military. I sure as hell didn’t.
Wow bizarre- I just heard from my little sister that they used my former High School for that movie too. It's in the Pacific Northwest, and how anybody involved with film ever heard of itsy bitsy teeny Kalama, I will never know.
42% male- and this ratio is coming from no more than 300 births in a 6 year period (the dates overlap). I dont understand the concern. Is having 58% girls some horrible devistating thing? If they had 58% kids with downs syndrome or autism, that would be something to worry about. But having healthy female daughters?? I am going to put my fema-nazi hat on for one moment... By all means, clean up the pollution- but the implication that their daughters gender is a birth defect is just wrong. Wold they complian if they had 58% male children?
@Avital Stop being so sad. You have no idea how those animals were killed. Their throats could be slit, they could have been hanged, looking at the picture it's just speculation...and you are assuming that they died terribly because why? Some guy commented he saw a video where Asians were skinning dogs alive? Okay that is sucky and gross, and I am sure it happens- but how is that even practical? Think about all the work it would be to skin an animal alive every time you wanted dinner meat. And "Western" meat slaughter is not humane. If you want to be a meat eater and maybe not such a hypocrite about how your food dies- try eating Halal or Shechita. But please dont blindly jump on the bandwagon that in the "west" we are so kind to our dinner, and in "east" they brutalize it.
Meat is meat is meat. Are people really going to discriminate because we eat pigs, cattle, and chicken and in other societies they eat dogs, cats, guinea pigs etc..? They are all animals. At least they aren't being hypocritical about their food... anthropomorphizing one type of animal, while deeming another as food worthy... Also seeing some PETA video on the internet of animal torture does not mean that all dogs slaughtered for food are skinned alive.
Transgender- has to do with Gender identity. It is saying that gender (male/female) is different than sex (penis/vagina). Bottom line, you might not like it, but you dont have to- it's not your life. Chances are 50% of transgender people- you wouldn't even know they were born a different gender, without them outing themselves or giving them a physical.
From Big Cat rescue page on Ligers- *These cats suffer from many birth defects and usually die young. Because ligers are usually larger than either parent, it also puts the tigress at great risk in carrying the young and may require C-section deliveries or kill her in the process. When the public quits paying to see these unfortunate creatures, the evil people responsible for breeding them will stop this inhumane practice. I'm not sure if this is an extreme crazy persons view, or if they had a valid point- but now I am sad to see Ligers.
Ok- if snakey had smooshed one kitty, wouldn't you decide kitty number two should stay inside. What is with all these dumb pet owners lately in Australia letting their little darlings get swallowed by Pythons? I let my cats outside, but as a calculated risk taking into account how fast the cars go on my road, how close the coyotes will come, and how far the cats will wander, how much my neighbors hate cats etc... But if one of them were killed, pretty sure the others would not get to go out for a very long time. Wasn't it last week some Aussie's Chihuaua sized dog was eaten by a python in front of the kids?
@Joe- Seriously, dude- dont whine about how you cant have drugs. Yes it's stupid that it's illegal in the US but stop whining about your "limited rights" you freaking pansy... after a post about a country where people are being so mis-informed by their government that they are willing to kill their household pet because of unamed "disease". And that is pretty small on the scale of massive screwed up-ness in China. Not saying China is all bad, but they have had more than their share of human (and clearly animal as well) rights violations. Pregnant women can get Toxoplasmosis from cat feces... however I cant figure out what other disease they are worried about. Maybe something from fleas?? It was the same way rats carried pandemics- it wasn't the rats, it was the fleas riding on their backs.
Ummm.... I have seen her on TV before and thought- wow, this is very cool to be able to hear her communicate, and it also validated my beleif that people with autisim are not necisarrily low IQ.
However look into it a little more. There are a lot of people (autistic included) saying she is actually faking autisim- and since it is diagnosed behaviorally and not chemically- this is not a hard sell. What is the evidence- her own words. She has diagnosed herself with everything from OCD, PTSD, Schizophrenia, and now autism. There are some damning comments about her choosing to become non-verbal, and basically choosing "autism".
I'm not sure what I beleive. I still like her message though.
Seriously- there are people who are still insane enough to use the love is blind bullshit as an excuse for this?? Sorry love is not blind, love is a creepy immature 36 year old guy who see's a young hot peice of ass who's about as emotionally challenging, as well... a 16 year old. And he's living with her parents!!! Does this not scream scum of the earth to you??? He should be ashamed and kicked in the nuts for his stupidity!!! She's young, her parents dont have good boundries with her, and she's an idiot and will be regretting this in less than a year. But WTF is his excuse?? He's just a gross creep. BTW- are any of you defending him actually women? Or mostly dudes thinking she's hot?
